The 'mod/forum:initialsubscriptions' was introduced in 1.7 as a workaround for missing enrolment info - the mod_form forum help was not even updated to mention this capability. Now that we have reliable enrolment info we can significantly improve both enrol and unenrol performance. Hopefully majority of users will not miss this capability...
This change:
- Renames the existing setting 'extrauserselectorfields' to 'showuseridentity'
in preparation for using it in more places. (Upgrade change, new version.)
- Adds a new capability moodle/site:viewuseridentity, now required in order
to see the extra fields; if you don't have the capability, you don't see them
- Slightly improves the display of extra fields in user selector list; it used
to be like 'sam marshall, 01234567, email@address' and is now
'sam marshall [01234567, email@address]' ie the fields are in square
brackets
- Turns feature on for the group selector - the feature was enabled for other
user selectors but not for the group selector. Tim did the disable code, he
thinks this may be to do with more people having access to group selector -
probably not a problem now it is controlled by capability.
For modules that still used the 'old' generic object return from _get_coursemodule_info instead of returning a cached_cm_info object, I changed them to use the new format as part of this. This made a few areas of code regarding onclick links slightly nicer.
* Added the component and ratingarea fields and implemented it throughout
the rating API as mandatory fields
* Cleanup rating indexes
* Upgrade forum/data/glossary ratings
* Moved the logic in the render_rating method to methods of the rating object.
* Added new callback for checking ratingareas
* Cleaned comments here and there
* Mark the xxx_get_participants methods as deprecated
* Refactor rate_ajax and ratingsuser_can_view_aggregate methods
* Cleaned up rating/index.php to use html_table object and moved inline styles to CSS.
* Added missing properties of the rating object that were being set throughout the rating
API.
This commit:
a) moves modinfo code into new library modinfolib.php
b) uses classes instead of stdClass objects, allowing a huge amount of documentation (and IDE completion)
c) adds hooks so that plugins other than forum can display messages like forum's 'unread', and plugins other than label can display html (apart from/as well as their view.php link) on the course view page
d) removes current hacks for forum and label (mainly in print_section but also across the code), replacing with new 'content' and similar variables [this is the reason for the changes in blocks, etc]
e) reduces size of modinfo in database (only when rebuilt) by excluding empty fields
The change is intended to be backward compatible and does not affect the format of modinfo in database.
The only case when sesskey is not available is when we came to
subscribe.php from a link in email. In that case, we display a
confirmation page that redirects back providing the sesskey.
All other links to subscribe.php are fixed now so they provide sesskey
as a parameter.
I also polished $mode parameter handling a bit because the check
against empty string was not correct as the value is cast to PARAM_INT.
