Code should just directly use moodle_execption.
Note, some of the existing uses (in web services) were passing a
literal message, not a language string identifier, but I decided
now was not the time to try to fix that.
This ensures that the page reloads if the student uses
the Back or Forwards buttons within an attempt. This
avoids questions being in a stale state, or
the timer showing the wrong time.
Thanks to Jake Dallimore and Russell Boyatt for suggestions
which lead to this fix.
dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
Once the attempt became overdue, it was impossible to get in to submit
it because of a redirect loop. This fix resovles that loop, so the
student can enter their password and get in.
There is already logic like this at the top of attempt.php. If the
teacher arrives at one of these pages for a student's attempt, for
example by clicking a link in the logs, then they should be redirected
to the review page to see the students attempt in its current state.
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.
The summary page was not enforcing the end of the grace period. If the
user had the summary page open, then they coudl still stubmit after the
end of the grace period.
Also, the editing form was not validating that the quiz grace period was
greater than quiz|graceperiodmin in the quiz configuration, and that
should be checked, so I added it.
I fear that processattempt.php is becoming very spaghetti-like with all
the timing rules, it really needs to be refactored, but not 2 weeks
before the 2.3 release. (When refactoring, we really need unit tests for
this.)
This achieves a massive clean-up. It simplifies comples code in a number
of places. It allows some methods and functions to be moved to a more
appropriate home (for example cannot_review_message to the quiz class).
It moves more logic out of the renderer.
The problem was when output was being started in relation to when the fake block was added.
Took the opportunity to clean up the quiz renderer API a bit.
