This patch replaces all homegrown timezone stuff with standard PHP date/time code. The main change is the introduction of core_date class that returns normalised user and server timezones. From now on nobody should be using $CFG->timezone or $user->timezone directly! Other new features and fixes: * admins are prompted for timezone during install * editing of other users is finally fixed * timezones are displayed in user profile * new $this->setTimezone() in phpunit * time locale is now automatically reset in phpunit * timezone is now automatically reset in phpunit * phpunit has Australia/Perth as default timezone
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
pix/icon.gif: a 16x16 icon for the module
db/install.xml: 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()
