1/ email notification when course requested
2/ course request capability so that we can limit who can request new course
3/ list of my pending course requests on the request form
Implemented in 1.9 by Petr Skoda, and reviewed and merged to HEAD by me.
1. If a user does not have that capability, don't let them change whether the course is visible.
2. Give teachers that capability by default.
3. To avoid regressions, on upgrade, give moodle/course:visibility to any role that has moodle/course:update.
Bugs: MDL-17479, MDL-16426, MDL-16063, MDL-16013, MDL-15658, MDL-15556, MDL-15161, MDL-14925, MDL-13742, MDL-11557.
* Simplify category editing permissions to just moodle/category:manage and moodle/category:seehiddencategories.
* Enforce those correctly. (Note MDL 17502 is still outstanding.)
* Don't screw up category sort order when you just edit name or description.
* Niceties like where redirects go when you cancel or submit forms.
* Make sure a global course creator can see the site admin block.
* Don't allow a category to be made the child of one of its children!
* General code cleanup to bring key files more in line with best pracitice.
Apologies for the fact it is one big patch, rather than a series of smaller patches. However, categoryedit.php, category.php and index.php where in pretty bad shape and needed significant cleaning up. categoryedit.php, in particular, was almost completely rewritten.
* in_null for decimals defaults checks
* store letter settings only in database - no cfg settings
* separate configuration page for letters only - pluginselector+admin tree
* new capability to manage grade letters - similar to scales and outcomes
* added grade_letters db index
* grade letters related minor bugfixing
Issue:
Teachers can edit grader report preferences (including switches for quickgrading and
quickfeedback), but do not have access to the "Turn editing on/off" button, so they
can't do quickgrading.
Solutions:
1.Decouple the quickgrading and quickfeedback modes from the editing mode,
and turn them on/off through the preferences page. New capability: moodle/grade:edit
* preferences: don't show quickgrading if no capability grade:edit
* If quickgrading is switched off as a preference and user doesn't have manage cap, show edit icons around grades when in editing mode
MDL-8868 Set only minimal permissions for creator role
+ improved accesslib to handle changes of context levels in capability definitions
