The code to print blocks in now in theme layout.php files. (Or in moodle_core_renderer::handle_legacy_theme) Code for printing blocks everywhere else has been stripped out. (Total diffstat 1225 insertions, 2019 deletions) The way the HTML for a block instance is generated has been cleaned up a lot. Now, the block_instance generates a block_contents object which gives a structured representation of the block, and then $OUTPUT->block builds all the HTML from that. How theme config.php files specify the layout template and block regions by page general type has been changed to be even more flexible. Further refinement for how the theme and block code gets initialised. Ability for scrits to add 'pretend blocks' to the page. That is, things that look like blocks, but are not normal block_instances. (Like the add a new block UI.) Things that are still broken: * some pages in lesson, quiz and resource. I'm working on it. * lots of developer debug notices pointing out things that need to be updated.
ACTIVITY MODULES
----------------
These are main modules in Moodle, allowing various activities.
Each of these modules contains a number of expected components:
mod_form.php: a form to setup/update a module instance
version.php: defines some meta-info and provides upgrading code
icon.gif: a 16x16 icon for the module
db/mysql.sql: an SQL dump of all the required db tables and data
index.php: a page to list all instances in a course
view.php: a page to view a particular instance
lib.php: any/all functions defined by the module should be in here.
constants should be defined using MODULENAME_xxxxxx
functions should be defined using modulename_xxxxxx
There are a number of standard functions:
modulename_add_instance()
modulename_update_instance()
modulename_delete_instance()
modulename_user_complete()
modulename_user_outline()
modulename_cron()
modulename_print_recent_activity()
