1) Moved the calendar types location to a sub-folder in the calendar directory. 2) Removed/moved language strings. 3) Removed calendar types that should be downloaded as plugins. 4) Removed a Non-English language pack for the Gregorian calendar type that should be downloaded separately. 5) Removed custom files responsible for checking for updates and uninstalling calendar types, which should be done by core. 6) Removed JS from the calendar_month block as there is no non-JS alternative provided and the JS written does not make use of the YUI library to ensure multiple browser support. 7) Removed code from the base class responsible for creating timestamps that are saved in the DB. 8) Added PHPDocs. Note: In the original patch we are editing core functions responsible for saving time in the database in the calendar base class. This is very dangerous, we do not want to touch these functions as it could cause a complete fubar of the database. There are places we are forcing the use of the gregorian calendar as we are passing dates generated by the PHP date function, where as sometimes we pass dates from usergetdate (which was being overwritten to return the date specific to the calendar). We can not expect third party modules to change the calendar type depending on the format they pass to these functions.
QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all its tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle Good luck and have fun! Martin Dougiamas, Lead Developer
