Feedback code was doing the following, which is incompatible with the
sec-patched quickforms lib:
- appending '[0]' to non-group element names, meaning type checks in
getCleanType() were falling back to PARAM_RAW instead of PARAM_INT,
and meaning _findValue() was comparing elements it thought to be arrays
with scalar submit values (worked with eval() implementation as the 0th
element of a string was the character, but not working when patched).
- external unit tests incorrectly testing multichoice questions in the
process_page tests - patched lib highlighted failures.
It was also doing the following:
- actively setting null as default element values instead of 0 for
radio buttons and dropdowns (for 'not selected'). This is incompatible
with more recent quickforms lib (see MDL-63070).
- creating groups using addElement instead of addGroup - not recommended
This patch addresses the above.
Significant string changes:
* sitepolicies, core_admin - 'Site policies' changed to 'Site security
settings'
* processexpirationstask, enrol_paypal - more explanatory name
* sitepolicy_help and sitepolicyguest_help, core_admin - setting will
only have an effect if the site policy handler is set to default
* sitepolicyhandler_desc,core_admin - improved wording
* pathtodot_help, core_admin - Windows and Mac paths
* debugstringids_desc, core_admin - improved explanation
Floats are evil and unreliable. Even with the clearfix class added to
the response_navigation wrapper, the Next link would remain unaligned.
We need a proper three columns layout here.
It did not feel necessary to introduce a special template here so I'm
making use of the core one.
All these functions were used only by deleted upgrade steps
so it's safe to proceed with straight deletion, considering
them internal. Deletion has been documented in corresponding
upgrade.txt files:
- mod_feedback_upgrade_delete_duplicate_values()
- mod_feedback_upgrade_courseid()
These have been kept because they continue being used:
- @ install: make_competence_scale()
- @ restore: upgrade_course_letter_boundary()
LTS (3.5) requires previous LTS (3.1)
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 3.1.0. Some
small adjustments, like adding missing MOODLE_INTERNAL or tweaking
globals can also be applied when needed.
Also includes an upgrade step to prevent upgrading from any
version < 2016052300 (v3.1.0) as anti-cheating measure.
Next commit will get rid of/deprecate all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase.
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).
