There was a bug with serving the files from the areas instructauthors,
instructreviewers and conclusion. These three areas should not use the
itemid in the plugininfo URLs. But they did use 0 as the itemid which
broke the file previews when browsing via server files repository.
The first part of the patch fixes all relevant calls to
file_rewrite_pluginfile_urls() so that null is now properly used instead
of zero.
The second part of the fix is that we no longer delete the first $args
element in the workshop_pluginfile() function - the itemid is not
supposed to appear there now.
The last part of the patch is that instead of repeating the same code
block copy&pasted for each file area in workshop_pluginfile(), we now
have a single block covering them all.
While testing the issue MDL-55289 I realized that attaching files to
workshop example submissions does not work at all and throws an error.
The reason was that in MDL-50794 (996f7e82), the variables $contentopts
and $attachmentopts were replaced with the result of the methods
submission_content_options() and submission_attachment_options().
But I forgot to perform the full refactoring in exsubmission.php too.
Attached behat test should cover both issues on this branch.
dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
This is basically a clean up and what I think improved version of the
original Mahmoud's patch.
The actual checking for allowed file extensions has been re-implemented
and is now covered by unit tests. The list of allowed extensions is now
also assed to the filemanager element's accepted_types option to prevent
picking other files (we still need the in-place validation though). The
form validation is simplified a bit. The custom validation of file size
introduced in the previous patch has been removed as not related to this
issue (also I believe it should not be done at this level).
It was reported at the Open University that there have been some
problems with the formats of files submitted by students. Not all
students completed their outlines as a Word .doc (despite this being the
format of the template provided). Some formats (e.g. .pages) couldn’t be
translated by some of the reviewing students. Therefore, they were
unable to provide a review and the submitting students not receiving any
comments.
This patch allows the teacher to define list of allowed file types that
can be attached to submitted work and/or overall feedback in the
workshop.
Major tasks undertaken in this patch:
* New format_text argument, overflowdiv.
* New page layout Report.
* Review of all format_text calls.
* Added support for the report layout to all themes.
* Changed forum post display from tables to divs.
Important change: teacher's assessments of example submissions (now
known as "reference assessments") are now displayed to students after
they assess example submission.
