This files describes API changes in /course/*,
information provided here is intended especially for developers.
=== 3.5 ===
* There is a new capability 'moodle/course:setforcedlanguage' to control which users can force the course
language; create_course and update_course functions delegate access control to the caller code; if you
are calling those functions you may be interested in checking if the logged in user has 'moodle/course:setforcedlanguage' capability.
=== 3.3 ===
* External function core_course_external::get_courses_by_field now returns the course filters list and status.
* External function core_course_external::get_courses_by_field now returns the end date of the course.
* External function core_course_external::get_course_contents now return the following additional file fields:
- mimetype (the file mime type)
- isexternalfile (if is a file reference to a external repository)
- repositorytype (the repository name in case is a external file)
Those fields are VALUE_OPTIONAL for backwards compatibility.
* External function core_course_external::get_course_contents now return the following fields for section and modules:
- uservisible (whether the section or module is visible by the user)
- availabilityinfo (availability information if the course or module has any access restriction set
=== 3.2 ===
* External function core_course_external::get_course_contents now returns the section's number in the course (new section field).
* External function core_course_external::get_course_contents now returns if a section is hidden in the course format.
* External functions that were returning file information now return the following file fields:
filename, filepath, mimetype, filesize, timemodified and fileurl.
Those fields are now marked as VALUE_OPTIONAL for backwards compatibility.
* The modchooser now uses a renderable and a template, thus its associated renderer
methods have been deprecated. Note that the call to core_course_render::course_modchooser,
is still required. Deprecated methods:
- core_course_renderer::course_modchooser_module_types
- core_course_renderer::course_modchooser_module
- core_course_renderer::course_modchooser_title
* You can now specify a course end date when calling core_course_external::create_courses and core_course_external::update_courses
external functions. core_course_external::get_courses external function is now returning courses end date values.
