Currently, large courses can take a long time to perform a full regrade.
This is currently handled with a progress bar to prevent frontend
timeouts while the regrade takes place. However, because it can take so
long a teacher may not want to wait with the page open for several
minutes, particularly if they are performing several operations that
trigger a regrade.
This adds a new async flag to grade_regrade_final_grades which is true
by default. Instead of performing the regrade immediately, this queues
an instance of \core\task\regrade_final_grades for the course, which
will be executed in the background.
It is advisable to always leave the async flag set true, except in the
following scenarios:
- Automated tests.
- The regrade_final_grades task which actually wants to do the
calculations immediately.
- When you have performed a check to determine that the regrade process
is unlikely to take a long time, for example there are only a small
number of grade items.
The course overview page can represent a table with the overview
integration implemented by the activity plugins. Each plugin
table is loaded as a fragment to optimize the course overview
loading time.
The current completion button has specific templates only for the course
view page. However, from now on this component may be used in other
places and it needs a main template to be rendered in a standard way.
- .custom-check is now .form-check.
- .custom-check.custom-switch is now .form-check.form-switch.
- .custom-select is now .form-select.
- .custom-file and .form-file have been replaced by custom styles on top of .form-control.
- .custom-range is now .form-range.
- Dropped .input-group-append and .input-group-prepend. You can now just add buttons
and .input-group-text as direct children of the input groups.
The old activities block will be fully replaced by a new course
activities overview page in the course secondary navigation. This
commit has the initial implementation of the page.
- Add .visually-hidden to the Boostratp 5 bridge SCSS file
- Replace .sr-only occurrences with .visually-hidden
- Replace .dropzone-sr-only-focusable with .dropzone-visually-hidden-focusable
for consistency
Prior to fd676913 the manage course categories tree element used
the 'i/empty' icon as a fixed width spacer (fa-fw). However this
icon is now shown as a square, which looks out of place here.
Change to a different icon that maps to the same fixed width spacer
in order to restore the previous behaviour.
This is mainly for the benefit of multilang users.
As well as changing the database schema, it is also necessary to change
where this is inforced in PHP code (forms, web services). This was missed
when shortname was changed from 100 to 255 chars some time ago, but I have
fixed that here.
Note, I have not changed the legacy mnet code, since as far as I am aware
that is deprecated.
This change:
- Fixes the group_selector constructor, removing the unnecessarily
deprecated param (this code is main-only, so no need to deprecate) and
fixes all calling code.
- moves the button and content into separate named_templatable
renderables, cleaning up the group_selector code so that it only needs
to make a single call to render and doesn't concern itself with contexts
of other renderables.
This change:
- Fixes naming of initials_selector class (making plural to match its
predecessor), and addresses relevant calling code.
- Adds an initials_dropdown_form renderable, templatable
- Removes superfluous course/classes/output/actionbar renderer
- Replaces the rendering logic inside initial_selector with calls to
render the new renderable
- Simplifies the initials_selector class, using instance vars instead of
passing args to helpers, removing unnecessary vars, etc.
- Add new 'activitychooserbutton' output class that allows adding extra action_links through hooks.
- Add new 'before_activitychooserbutton_exported' hook so plugins could add extra action links
to the activity chooser button.
- Unify activitychooserbutton and activitychooserbuttonactivity into a single template.
