The original code was shocking once I started reviewing it, and even
after heavy editing I'm still not happy with it, but at least it works
more like it was supposed to.
Needs more cleaning up to make it clearer and probably safer.
Also, presets can now contain langage packs and they'll be used.
The image gallery is an example.
The API was changed slightly so that has_capability now takes the
whole $context object (we almost always have it anyway)
The $kill thing was removed. If you want to assert a capability
then use:
require_capability('capname', $context);
with optional variables to modify the error message
Misc bugs here and there also removed and code tidied
=======================================
WARNING: DEV IS CURRENTLY VERY UNSTABLE.
This is a mega-checkin of the new Roles system. A lot of changes have
been made in core and modules.
Currently there are a lot of rough edges and known problems. We are
working hard on these .. .the reason for getting this into HEAD at this
stage is enable us to move faster (our branch was diverging from HEAD
too much).
Please keep an eye on http://docs.moodle.org/en/Roles for current status
and information for developers on how to use the new Roles system.
/lib/weblib.php. Removed these functions from
/lib/mod/field/textarea/field.class.php. Will commit updates to these
functions to Moodle 1.5 Stable. Database module will only be compatible with
the latest Moodle 1.5 Stable and onwards.
the HTMLArea editor in the template views. This is not currently working in
source code mode of the editor.
Added equivalent of use_html_editor() and print_editor_config() from
/lib/weblib.php to textarea field class. We use a copy in that class instead of
calling the functions in /lib/weblib.php because we want the data module to be
compatible with Moodle 1.5. This is not ideal, but it is a necessary evil.
Updated the textarea field class to use the correct path to
/lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php.
Removed hard coded message strings from scripts and moved them to the language file.
Fixed a display bug in multimenu field.
Removed rounded help buttons from fields, made the fields use html title to
display the descriptions instead.
Finally, we have an early version good enough for everyone to
start banging on to help us polish it up and find bugs.
Please take a look and file bugs in the bug tracker under "Database module".
We urgently need
- new icons for existing field types
- testing on PostgreSQL install
Coming soon (?):
- Many more field types: calculation, checkbox, relation, date, datetime,
time, email, group, list, user, number, richtext
(Please let us know if you are interested in developing any of these)
- A way to save and restore "presets", which are field/template sets
- Backup/Restore support
- Groups Support
- RSS support
Many thanks to Yu for all the hard work under my whip.
