This patch adds better core support for copying courses.
There is now a simplified and dedicated UI for copying
courses. This can be accessed from the course context
menu or course management screens.
All backups are done asynchronously and there can be multiple
copies of a course in flight at once.
- Add MDL codes to @deprecated.
- Add @todo tag for future 4.3 phase 2 deprecation.
- Deprecate global scope functions:
- cron_execute_plugin_type().
- cron_bc_hack_plugin_functions().
(moving them to deprecatelib).
- Document it in main upgrade.txt
In the table that lists the scheduled tasks:
1. There are badges to show which components are disabled.
2. The plugin name (e.g. auth_ldap) is shown as well as the
human-readable name (e.g. LDAP server).
3. Where a time column has a non-default value, it is highlighted
and the default is shown.
4. If the fail-delay is non-zero, the cell is highlighted.
4. If you just interacted with a task (looked at or edited the settings,
did Run now, or cleared the fail delay) that row is highlighted,
and scrolled into view when the page loads.
To support this, some of the methods for loading the default tasks
have been extended with an optional argument to leave 'R' as 'R'
rather than replacing with a random number.
Also, mixed into this commit are a bunch of coding style improvements.
Sorry I did not separate them out, but ultimately this makes the
Moodle code better.
core.php-Avoid to use the factory for each content type
h5p_get_content_types_task-new method to simplify test execution
framework.php-returns error if you get a 404 response after requesting a file
* refactor run automated backup
* new backup status of Queued
* adhoc task for backing up a course
* course locking for course backup adhoc task
* use Moodle locking instead of custom locking for run automated backup task
* add unit tests to extracted methods
In the be8f453b74 the gradelib loading was removed by mistake. So
the library may not be loaded and executing the task may end with
the exception - class 'grade_grade' not found.
This patch adds asynchronous backup and restore functionality
to Moodle. This is an optional feature and is not enabled by
default. It can be enabled by site administrators.
Asynchronous backup and restores are actioned by the Moodle
adhoc task API. The progress of backup and restores is
displayedin the Moodle UI. Users can also be sent a message
when a backup or restore operation completes via the
Moodle messaging API.
This commit shifts the content of legacy completion_cron_criteria()
and completion_cron_completions() functions to completion_regular_task.
Also, those functions are deleted as part of this commit.
