The methods core_courseformat\base::set_section_number() and
core_courseformat\base:: get_section_number() have been deprecated
and replaced by core_courseformat\base::set_sectionnum() and
core_courseformat\base::get_sectionnum().
The new methods use the null value when all the sections must be
displayed (instead of 0). That way, section 0, can be displayed on
a single page too.
- Fields added to format_legacy as default course format options;
- Upgrade script copies fields values from table course to course_format_options;
- Fields removed from table course;
- Fields removed from edit course form;
- Since front-page course has a 'numsections' setting, format_site defines it as it's option;
- Removed accessing those fields in core code unless we know that format supports them and in this
case instead of $course = $DB->get_record('course'); we use:
$course = course_get_format($courseorid)->get_course(); This way all format-specific options
are added to the $course object
- Avoid using field course_sections.sequence for retrieving the modules list, use functionality from
get_fast_modinfo() instead;
- In the following functions/methods mark arguments $mod, $modnames, $modnamesused and $sections as
not used because they can be taken any time from get_fast_modinfo():
- function print_section()
- protected function format_section_renderer_base::section_summary()
- private function format_section_renderer_base::section_activity_summary
- public function format_section_renderer_base::print_single_section_page
- public function format_section_renderer_base::print_multiple_section_page
Topics and weeks have been converted to use a shared renderer to output
their content.
Note, I started with good intentions but this renderer has mixed
paradgims due to fast and cheap winning out on the trinity.
AMOS BEGIN
MOV [currenttopic,access],[currentsection,format_topics]
MOV [currentweek,access],[currentsection,format_weeks]
AMOS END
This is a course format independent url param and replaces weekly/topic specific params.
By using a standardised param we are able to use this url consistenly across the codebase
and reduce the risk of param collision
It allows to define M.course.format.swap_sections and
M.course.format.get_section_selector in the course format javascript file, so
that course dragdrop is aware about perculiar layout and changes that need to
be done when sections are swapped.
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.
