The Flash Player was deprecated in 2017 and officially discontinued
on 31 December 2020, so media_swf player has been completely
removed from Moodle core.
This optional environmental check will look if:
- the site is running php72.
- the site has igbinary extension enabled.
- the igbinary extension version is a buggy one >=3.2.2 <= 3.2.4
- the bug is reproducible.
And will warn if all the conditions are met.
This commit implements the qbank plugin type which
includes the boilerplate for the qbank plugin, the
qbank plugin management admin page and required core
code addition.
Convert to system report API provided by Report builder. The entity
defined the column and filters, which are used by the system
report class we have created.
Report actions are also defined in the system report.
Improve the Test outgoing mail configuration admin page adding:
- Timestamp to the subject and message text.
- Additional subject text to the current text subject.
- From field (username or email) to send the test email from the that Moodle user.
When defining settings that are used by scheduled tasks,
it is also useful, or even needed, to know the status
of that scheduled task to have the whole big picture of
that part of the system.
Based on the admin_setting_description, this new setting
reports its name, its status, a link to the configuration.
When adding a new setting of this type, the user can add
an extra description field to complete the whole meaning.
pdftoppm (from poppler-utils package) is several orders of
magnitude quicker than ghostscript extracting PNG images
from PDF documents.
We add support for this tool and use it whenever set up,
or using gs as before if missing.
Revisited code with peer review comments. In particular:
1. Make default path for pdftoppm empty string.
2. Fix a typo on the method description for get_gs_command_for_image.
3. Added more information why is useful pdftoppm into string pathtopdftoppm_help.
4. Check that path for pdftoppm is executable to prevent errors. Otherwise, use gs.
To support transitions from one search engine to a different one, or
to a different installation of the same kind, this feature allows for
queries to use a different search engine from indexing. So you can
reindex (and do all other search operation) on one server, while
user queries are unaffected on a different server.
This feature supports changing between search engine types, and also
between two Solr installations.
