A new plugintype has been created for having more than one installed
third-party H5P libraries. Existing libraries have been moved from
lib/h5p to the new h5plib_v124 plugin.
* Plugins can now explicitly declare supported and incompatible Moodle
versions in version.php
- $plugin->supported[37,39];
supported takes an array of ascending numbers, that correspond to a
range of branch numbers of supported versions, inclusive. Moodle
versions that are outside of this range will produce a message
notifying at install time, but will allow for installation.
- $plugin->incompatible = 36;
incompatible takes a single int corresponding to the first incompatible
branch. Any Moodle versions including and below this will be prevented
from installing the plugin, and a message will be given when
attempting installation.
This commit is part of work on Custom fields API,
to minimize commit history in moodle core the work of a team of developers was split
into several commits with different authors but the authorship of individual
lines of code may be different from the commit author.
The new recordset support for Postgres requires transactions and
will cause errors if recordsets are not closed correctly. This
commit fixes problems that were identified during unit tests, and
via some basic code analysis, across all core code. Most of these
are incorrect usage of recordset (forgetting to close them).
Repository instances are stored in the 'repository' table. Repositories
in the table are either 'Enabled and visible' or 'Enabled but hidden'.
Hidden repositories still serve their files, but are not visible in the
filepicker UI. Disabling a repository instance removes its record from
the table.
In the original implementation of the plugin manager (see b9934a17), the
method plugintype_repository::get_enabled_repositories() correctly
returned all records from the repository table. Then as a part of the
bigger refactoring in MDL-41437, the commit bde002b8 replaced the
original method with the new get_enabled_plugins() one which started to
return visible repositories only.
As a consequence, the admin tree stopped populating setting page nodes
for hidden repository instances. So attempting to visit their setting
page threw a section error. Credit goes to Ike Quigley for debugging and
tracing this down.
This patch fixes the way how the list of enabled repositories is
populated by the plugin manager so that both visible and hidden
repositories are returned again. This does not affect the filepicker
itself as it is using its own methods for obtaining the list.
Introducing both APIs in moodle along with:
- search_box widget to add a tiny search box
- admin settings with setup steps helper
- cache for search results
- template for a search result
- php unit stuff
Many thanks to Tomasz Muras, Prateek Sachan and Daniel Neis for their contributions, for starting this development
and for pushing for it to be completed. Also thanks to other contributors: Jonathan Harker and eugeneventer.
The actual loading of available updates info objects is moved back to
the plugin manager class. As we can now mockup the manager in unit
tests, this allows us to bypass the real \core\update\checker and have
unit tests for \core\plugininfo\base::available_updates().
Plugin info objects are owned by the plugin manager (composition
pattern). Even if the plugin manager is a singleton, we need to keep
explicit reference to the plugin manager that owns the plugin info so
that we can mock up things in unit tests.
Therefore this patch introduces a new property of plugin info objects
that holds the reference to the instance of the plugin manager that made
(and hence owns) the given info instance.
The only trouble here is with static methods of plugin info classes such
as \core\plugininfo\base::get_enabled_plugins(). In these cases, the
code keeps using the core_plugin_manager singleton. The solution would
be to pass the plugin manager instance as a parameter but that is not
worth of change for now, IMHO.
Before this patch, whenever core_plugin_manager::get_plugins() was
called, it always attached info about available updates. But this is
needed only in quite rare cases, such as when the admin is looking at
the Plugins overview and Plugins check screens. There is no need to load
this on other places and for non-admin users.
The patch removes the loading from the method
core_plugin_manager::get_plugins_of_type() and implements lazy loading
directly in the plugininfo classes so that it is loaded only when
\core\plugininfo\base::available_updates() is actually called.
