moodle versions... PostgreSQL people, check it against your
servers, please.
In 1-2 days I'll merge this changes to 15_STABLE, to allow
moodlers to pre-check their environments...
This patch bundles 3 changes:
+ password inserts/updates were not being md5()d
+ skip the user altogether when the rename fails, to
avoid clobbering the existing user account
+ get_courses() has moved outside the main loop so
it is called only once -- huge difference in
performance and number of DB queries
Several fixes and enhancements:
+ No longer fail due to timeouts or memory limits. And let apache know
that we're a memory hog so it can clean up after us.
+ Add support for user account updates (optional)
+ Add support for user account renames (optional)
+ Cleaned up the logic that deals with creation and failure
+ More robust error handling
+ Use optional_param() -- no longer depends on register_globals
-- when do we switch that off?
+ Added the relevant documentation.
User upload now has an option to allow missing passwords to be accepted -
if we have an email field available. Cron will pick up those users, and call
setnew_password_and_mail() for them.
Effective way to spam your way through life...
A new configuration variable is avaliable to limit which fields normal user can see about other users. Teachers/admins can still see the full info.
This provides some degree of privacy for students.
