We should be detecting when we are treating files that are linked to
external repositories.
For doing that we'd need to return some additional fields via Web
Services:
- isexternalfile
- mimetype (google docs files use an special one)
- repositorytype (the repository plugin name)
This patch adds support for time-based locking of discussions.
Discussions are automatically locked after a user-definable period of
inactivity. After this time, only those with the the relevant capability
are able to add replies.
This has been designed to add support for other types of discussion locking
at a later date with relative ease.
Fix:
$PAGE->context must be reset when calling validate_context
Improve:
Provide wrapper for calling an external function
The wrapper correctly checks the function parameters and return type against
the description of the external function, and stores the PAGE and COURSE global
state variables, restoring them before the function returns.
Fix: buggy unit tests.
These tests are expecting debugging from a bug that was fixed, and calling web
service functions with no user or session.
I removed the last qanda checks in forum_user_can_see_discussion because they are not necessary and
they make the external function fail.
A user in a qanda forum can always see a discussion (he needs to see the discussion to be able to reply).
What he cannot see are the other user posts unless he has replied to the discussion once and the edition period
(usually 30 minutes) has ended.
Note also that forum_user_can_see_discussion was originally only used when displaying forums in blog format
in order to display the button show more or not, this is the reason this wasn't detected before.
When different ID's are set for each sequence a number
of unit test failures appear. They have been corrected
to allow unit tests to pass with the new generator in place.
instance is has been used instead of cmid. This works as all id's are 1
in most cases, but not always.
accesslib_clear_all_caches_for_unit_testing was updated to clear the
$USER->access cache which would fail test when the wrong user's data was used.
Commit for MDL-29663 that renames the FORUM_TRACKING_ON constant
to FORUM_TRACKING_FORCED to allow easier and more consistant reading.
FORUM_TRACKING_ON retained but marked depreciated.
