1. Implement core_course_get_contents web service
2. Implement callbacks in folder, resource, page and url modules
3. Implement download script for web service
The recent change completely removed support for general URIs and enforced strict URL validation which was breaking backwards compatibility and was not user friendly at all.
This patch finally adds full URI support with basic validation and fixes some older xhtml strict issues.
Please note we do not try to explain the difference between URL and URI to our users. Also keep in mind that mod/url has XSS risk and does not do any security validation of the data.
For modules that still used the 'old' generic object return from _get_coursemodule_info instead of returning a cached_cm_info object, I changed them to use the new format as part of this. This made a few areas of code regarding onclick links slightly nicer.
* Added the component and ratingarea fields and implemented it throughout
the rating API as mandatory fields
* Cleanup rating indexes
* Upgrade forum/data/glossary ratings
* Moved the logic in the render_rating method to methods of the rating object.
* Added new callback for checking ratingareas
* Cleaned comments here and there
* Mark the xxx_get_participants methods as deprecated
* Refactor rate_ajax and ratingsuser_can_view_aggregate methods
* Cleaned up rating/index.php to use html_table object and moved inline styles to CSS.
* Added missing properties of the rating object that were being set throughout the rating
API.
The following minor changes were also made:
* Added roles links to the navigation automatically
* Handling of block context for settings navigation
* Tidied up init code for settings navigation
