I suppose the original reasoning was that the web services protocols are
pluggable and that plugins can provide external function. But those are
not good reasons to put the whole Web services section under plugins.
Web services are not a plugin type and they always felt very
counter-intuitive there.
From the server administrtaion perspective, web services are similar to
scheduled tasks and therefore, they should live in the same section.
On installation (or also phpunit/behat unit) some CFG variables
were being used (on setting validation) before being set.
So this commit just verifies they are set before using them. Note that,
strictly speaking, only one of them ($CFG->searchenginequeryonly)
required the extra check, but I think it's better to apply it to all
them, as a reference and in case validations are run in any other order.
To support transitions from one search engine to a different one, or
to a different installation of the same kind, this feature allows for
queries to use a different search engine from indexing. So you can
reindex (and do all other search operation) on one server, while
user queries are unaffected on a different server.
This feature supports changing between search engine types, and also
between two Solr installations.
This feature adds an admin tool for creating custom licenses.
Now custom licenses can be added and amended in Moodle, and the site
default can be set to a custom license.
Core licenses remain hard-coded and are uneditable, so they will always
require update within Moodle core updates, and maintain their
internationalisation through core language strings.
This also includes fundamental changes to the license API including
the addition of license caching and deprecation of no longer required
admin settings for license management.
This commit is part of work on Custom fields API,
to minimize commit history in moodle core the work of a team of developers was split
into several commits with different authors but the authorship of individual
lines of code may be different from the commit author.
- Clumsy fallback only when there is no full-text search support
- Mimic solr tests
- pgsql tokenization using simple configuration
- workaround for mysql '*' search issue
- total results proper calculation
- SQL server FTS support
- Standarize dml full-text search checkings
- Upgrade note about the new dml method
- Set search_simpledb as default engine if no solr config
- Define sitepolicy handler manager class, base class and the core handler
- Allow to set a plugin as sitepolicyhandler that implements the sitepolicy API
- Modify web services to return information from the 3rd party handler instead of core if needed
Introducing both APIs in moodle along with:
- search_box widget to add a tiny search box
- admin settings with setup steps helper
- cache for search results
- template for a search result
- php unit stuff
Many thanks to Tomasz Muras, Prateek Sachan and Daniel Neis for their contributions, for starting this development
and for pushing for it to be completed. Also thanks to other contributors: Jonathan Harker and eugeneventer.
Removed requiremodintro setting from all core activity plugins and replace
with a single global setting.
Deprecated moodleform_mod::add_intro_editor and replaced with
moodleform_mod::standard_intro_elements
Instead we will create new MUC caches inside each filter plugin.
Please note that all cache filters should work with local caches
without the need of strict cache invalidation.
