This patch introduces new lib/pluginlib.php library that provides
unified access meta-information about all present plugin types. The
library defines plugin_manager singleton that in turn gathers
information about all present plugins and their status. The list of
plugins can be rendered either as plugins check table or plugins control
panel.
This makes print_plugins_table() function obsolete and because it is not
expected to be called by any contrib plugin, the function is removed.
CSS for the legacy table generated by print_plugins_table() is cleaned
up.
The commit introduces four new constants that can be used to declare a
maturity level of Moodle core and, in the future, of extension plugins.
If the administrator is about to install or upgrade Moodle to a version
that is not considered as production-ready yet, a warning is displayed
before any change in the database.
Patch thanks to James Brisland.
I know that in general, we should not have specific pretty colours in the base theme, but I think unit tests are an exception. The concept of "the bar being green" is so fundamental to unit testing, and this bit of the UI is developer only.
Very big theme changes, standardold theme has been split into two themes base and standard. Base theme contains only CSS that is absolutly required (e.g. layout, white space rules, specific widths) and standard (which now looks like standardwhite) contains all the frills.
The following noteable changes have also been made:
* Plugin CSS has been pushed back into the plugin directories as styles.css files.
* Install_print_header has been corrected.
* Redundant or deprecated rules have been removed.
* Several minor class changes throughout Moodle.
* CSS is now single line rules not multiline indented.
* Installs with theme=standardold automatically switch to standard.
* body classes / id now have prefixes to make it clearer what they are and avoid conflicts.
Also worth noting:
* There is still alot of tweaking that is required to get everything looking as it is supposed to, please be patient or better yet help out.
* I am currently working on the documentation for the themes system... it will be here soon.
