The search area API now includes a new function get_document_recordset which should be implemented in preference to the older get_recordset_by_timestamp. (It's also possible to implement both in plugin search areas which need to work against older Moodle versions.) Existing search areas without the new function will continue to work as before (obviously without the new functionality).

This files describes API changes in /search/*,
|
|
information provided here is intended especially for developers.

|
|
=== 3.4 ===
|
|
|
|
* Search indexing now supports time limits to make the scheduled task run more neatly. In order for
|
|
this to work, search engine plugins will need to implement the 'stopat' parameter if they
|
|
override the add_documents() function, and return an extra parameter from this function (see base
|
|
class in engine.php). Unmodified plugins will still work, but without supporting time limits.
|
|
* Search areas should now implement the get_document_recordset function instead of the old
|
|
get_recordset_by_timestamp API (implement both if the area should work in older Moodle versions
|
|
as well). The new function is the same as the old one, but has an additional context parameter.
|
|
There is a helper function get_context_restriction_sql to make this easy to implement; see code
|
|
in base_activity.php for an example of how to implement this in your search area. (The
|
|
change was required to make search work after restoring sites. It also allows more flexible
|
|
reindexing in other cases.)
