The capabilities changed ('contextlevel' => CONTEXT_COURSE changed to
'contextlevel' => CONTEXT_MODULE) are:
* moodle/site:accessallgroups
* moodle/site:viewfullnames
* moodle/site:trustcontent
* moodle/site:viewuseridentity
This list came from reviewing the _get_extra_capabilities functions in
all core activities. They were all somewhat inconsistent, but I think it
makes sense that these capabilities are consistently overridable in all
activities. E.g. moodle/site:accessallgroups affects conditional
availability even if there is no other user of groups, and
moodle/site:viewuseridentity and moodle/site:viewfullnames affect the
logs report, if nothing else.
As a result of this, several _get_extra_capabilities functions are no
longer needed, and all the rest have been simplified.
This commit reviews all continue uses in core happening within a
loop / switch / case hierarchy. This does not cover:
- Changes to libraries. Will be handled in another issue / commit.
- Uses out from loops, will be reviewed by other commit.
The policy followed has been:
- When possible, take rid of the continue.
- When clearly the intention was to jump to next element in loop
change to continue 2
- When it was not clear, keep old behavior switching to break, no
matter how weird the behavior may be.
Previously the test was assuming that the user last ping, when
accessing to a chat should match the first (enter) system message
sent to the chat. And that's ok 99% of times but, if seconds advance
between the creation of the chat_users record and the chat_messages
one, then they don't match.
So now, the assumption is not used anymore and the expectation
is the timestamp of that first (enter) system message, explicitly.
Significant string changes:
* publishstate_help, core_notes - including GDPR guidance
* contactdataprotectionofficer_desc, tool_dataprivacy - removing mention
of link on privacy policy page as it is not yet implemented
LTS (3.5) requires previous LTS (3.1)
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.1.0. Some
small adjustments, like adding missing MOODLE_INTERNAL or tweaking
globals can also be applied when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2016052300 (v3.1.0) as anti-cheating measure.
Next commit will get rid of/deprecate all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase.
Increase the scope of the files that are detected and
indexed by Moodle's Global Search. This includes intro
and content areas of search areas. The use case here is
in a description for an activity there is a file added
that contains more information about the activity.
It would an advantage to be able to search this content
as well. It would also allow search engine plugins to be
able to index non text files such as images.
This was done for indicators, targets and time splitting methods so that we
can get the string identifier and component in order to display a help_icon.
The functions were also made abstract, removing the default implementation.
Indicators, targets and time splitting methods should define this function.
It was decided to roll only configuration dates and any date related to user content
such as 'timecreated' , 'timemodified' etc should not be rolled forward.
