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.
We copy the cachedef_locking string as that cache definition is
used for locking and its name is more than likely the descriptive
word we are looking for.
AMOS BEGIN
CPY [cachedef_locking,cache],[locking,cache]
AMOS END
We now show a warning icon with an explanatory alt if the user
has mapped a store as a mode default that doesn't not fulfill the
requirements of every known definition.
This patch includes:
* version column removed from modules table, now using standard config, this allows decimal version for modules
* version column removed from block table, now using standard config, this allows decimal version for blocks
* module version.php can safely use $plugins instead of module
* new plugin_manager bulk caching, this should help with MUC performance when logged in as admin
* all missing plugins are now in plugin overview (previously only blocks and modules)
* simplified code and improved coding style
* reworked plugin_manager unit tests - now using real plugins instead of mocks
* unit tests now fail if any plugin does not contain proper version.php file
* allow uninstall of deleted filters
Includes:
* no more hacky reloads, everything is written only once and kept until cache reset
* lang menu list is now cached in MUC
* both string and lang menu caches are compatible with local caches on cluster nodes
* config-dist.php cleanup
Issues:
1. Fix setType calls
2. Changing from default to all and editing again, default is still selected.
3. Uncheck all options causes error.
4. Doesn't seem to be restricting based upon option.
5. Picked all and got coding error with the database thing.
6. Bad title: https://github.com/samhemelryk/moodle/commit/wip-MDL-37500-m25#L1R157
7. Amend comments - should only be removed once 2.5 is the minimum version for an upgrade.
8. Document the defaultsharing option.
Outcomes:
1. Fixed - copy paste error.
2. Fixed - mforms was applying the default value despite a value being provided. A quirk of elements with array names.
3. Fixed - validation now requires at least one option to be selected.
4. Fixed - issue rose from definitions not being re-parsed. cache/admin.php now reparses the first time a user visits the page.
5. Fixed - better purging of definitions when working with them anonymously. Unit test added.
6. Fixed - new string added and used.
7. Fixed - comments amended.
New issue to address parsing of definitions during upgrade.
New issue to add debugging notice if definition sets only one possible sharing option and that option is user input.
Bug: There was no way to create an instance of a lock plugin for use
within Moodle.
Solution: Implemented management interfaces as part of cache/admin.php
to allow for instances to be added and deleted.
This was done in along the same lines of adding store instances.
This change is a large change to the way sessions are handled
within MUC after it was discovered that session did not function
as expected when any store other than the default session store
was being used.
As part of this change the session loader has been largely
customised in order to consolidate session data for the loader.
The unit tests have also being greatly increased to provide
better coverage for sessions.
- Course categories caches are purged by event now
- session cache has additional 10 minutes ttl to clear itself and accomodate for permission changes that do not trigger event purging
- additional request-level cache for coursecat::get()
- We store only children of one category in one cache key
- Function coursecat::get_children() can return results sorted and/or paginated. Added tests
