The page course/section.php has been created, to display the content of a
single section. This page will only accept sectionid (to get rid of the
legacy sectionnumber).
Some features of this page:
- The General section won't be displayed anymore above the selected
section.
- In the main course page content, regardless of the Course layout ("All
sections on one page" vs "One section per page"), all the section names
will link to the new page (except when editing mode is on).
Removal of the callback get_shortcuts() and its plugin implementations.
The private methods in the content_item_readonly_repository class
which were only used by the callback hook logic are also removed.
New function to return the course format settings for external clients
via Web Services.
Some settings (like private keys/tokens) should be not returned if the
user hasn’t appropriate permissions.
With a single-activity course, visibility to students is controlled by
course visibility. There is no sense in having the key activity not
visible to students, and, if you did, the symptoms were almost
incomprehensible. It was very hard to work out what you had done wrong.
