There is a new theme property 'blockrendermethod' that can be set by the
theme in its config.php and tells Moodle what method it is using to render
blocks in the layout files.
Either blocks, or blocks_for_region.
Then when adding custom block regions to a page content we ensure we use
the same method the theme is using elsewhere.
This is really a hack becuase we (I) didn't properly deprecate
blocks_for_region when I added the blocks method.
- Added functions in class format_base
- Added global functions in course/lib.php
- Added calling of course header/footer functions to the base theme
- output renderer checks if theme calls the coures content header/footer functions, if not calls them explicitly and displays a development warning
This reverts commit 0e708c3476.
note : there is another commit prefixed with MDL-34257 hash 'ddda79c' which was really for MDL-34187. 'ddda79c' is not being reverted as its not really about MDL-34257.
- create repository renderer, implement functions for returning HTML templates used in filepicker
- let filepicker use HTML from templates
- move CSS for filemanager and filepicker to the separate css file in base theme
- use only YUI3 in filepicker (get rid of YUI2)
- add button for 'View details' in filepicker (though this view mode is still not ready)
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.
* Themes can now check if a region is completely docked
* Dock now delegates events to improve performance
* Dock now completely YUI3
* No longer uses YUI overlay instead has custom control
Very big theme changes, standardold theme has been split into two themes base and standard. Base theme contains only CSS that is absolutly required (e.g. layout, white space rules, specific widths) and standard (which now looks like standardwhite) contains all the frills.
The following noteable changes have also been made:
* Plugin CSS has been pushed back into the plugin directories as styles.css files.
* Install_print_header has been corrected.
* Redundant or deprecated rules have been removed.
* Several minor class changes throughout Moodle.
* CSS is now single line rules not multiline indented.
* Installs with theme=standardold automatically switch to standard.
* body classes / id now have prefixes to make it clearer what they are and avoid conflicts.
Also worth noting:
* There is still alot of tweaking that is required to get everything looking as it is supposed to, please be patient or better yet help out.
* I am currently working on the documentation for the themes system... it will be here soon.
The following changes have been made in this commit:
1. Renamed the side bar thing to dock, this is consistent through all code/css now.
2. Converted everything to YUI 3 except the panel which docked items are shown in, this iwll be converted once YUI 3 overlay is no longer beta.
3 Redisigned the dock, all blocks can now make use of it, and theme code within JS can override it so they can make it look as they want.
More changes are coming
