Now that the validation is provided directly by the filemanager, we do
not need to do the same here.
Note that existing Behat tests are left untouched to make sure there is
no regression.
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.
Initial sketches of random allocator. Refactoring of the rest of the
module here and there. Also, this commit removes trailing whitespace and
running empty lines.
