* class html_component does not exist any more
* class html_table rendered via html_writer::table()
* html_table, html_table_row and html_table_cell have public $attributes property to set their CSS classes
* dropped rotateheaders feature, should be added again after more research of possible ways (<svg> is not nice IMHO)
* dropped possibility to define CSS classes for table heading, body and footer - can be easily done and better done using just table class and context
There is a new implementation of require_js in lib/deprecatedlib.php,
based on $PAGE->requires.
There were a few other recently introduced functions in lib/weblib.php,
namely print_js_call, print_delayed_js_call, print_js_config and
standard_js_config. These have been removed, since they were never in
a stable branch, and all the places that used them have been changed
to use the newer $PAGE->requires->... methods.
get_require_js_code is also gone, and the evil places that were calling
it, even though it is an internal function, have been fixed.
Also, I made some minor improvements to the code I committed yesterday
for MDL-16695.
All that remains is to update all the places in core code that are
still using require_js.
(This commit also fixes the problem where the admin tree would not
start with the right categories expanded.)
We had a !== when it should have been !=, and our constants were defined as strings not ints. This problem has been there since forever, but no one had noticed before. Thanks to Alan Trick for finally spotting it!
MDL-18350 remove backwards compatibility support for question types having their lang strings in the quiz language module.
MDL-16407 settings.php support for question types. Remove the old get_config_options from question types. I don't think anyone was using it.
These are all to do with the combination of the $form->category, and $form->categorymoveto fields on the question editing forms since Moodle 1.9. These are now resolved to a single ->category value in question.php, which simplifies the logic for the individual question types.
MDL-15774 and MDL-12719 errors editing Cloze question
MDL-17105 problems with qustion saving logic.
MDL-18174 'Select from subcategories' option not preserved when editing a random question.
* Implement this in the base class, and
* use this in the shortanswer type as a proof of concept.
This makes writing new question type subclasses a bit easier. Thanks to Oleg Sychev for this code.
Also MDL-17585 Improve layout of manual grading forms to make them look more like formslib forms. The standard trick of stealing the HTML and class names that formslib works, so the standard style rules apply to your form.
And MDL-17568 minor niggles with new queston navigation:
* The bit that scrolls down to the question you just submitted in adaptive mode was not working with random questions.
* Teachers reviewing an open attempt were shown the qusetions as editable, not read only!
Have fixed the formatting in responses report and in statistics report to use the correct formatting for the question type.
Created new functions format_responses and format_response. format_responses works on an array and normally just walks through the array calling format_response.
In the 1.9 branch this is controlled by a new option under Admin -> Experimental. In Moodle 2.0 dev it is not optional, it just works.
The main change is letting the manual grading report know which random questions might need manual grading. MDL-4004 - this depends on the random question under consideration, which requires a new questiontype method.
I also changed the random question code so that I could remove some global variables.
