Fix for subscription and tracking buttons to remove links and improve accessibility and reduce crawler problems http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDLSITE-263
MDL-10376 - since roles and capabilities came along, the quiz was not very gracious if you were logged in as guest, or really logged in on the server, but using guest access to look a a particular course, or were enrolled in a course, but in a role that did not let you preview or attempt quizzes. This patch should clean up the logic for all these cases.
A bit of cleanup on the SQL we use for updates. Unfortunately, MySQL
uses non-SQL-standard syntax for updates reading or updating multiple
tables. After much testing across Pg and MySQL, I boiled it down to
the minimal differences -- but we still have different SQL.
The timings for this on a large reference install, calling
build_context_path(true):
- MySQL incompatible 1s
- Petr's fixes 60s -- DB complains of too many writes
- This commit 24s -- DB complains of too many writes
Also - fixed a remaining problem with $emptyclause
MDL-10903 - Wrong capability checked in get_all_instances_in_course should be moodle/course:viewhiddenactivities, not moodle/course:viewhiddencourses. Merged from MOODLE_18_STABLE.
MDL-10972 - The lang string 'fullname', which is normally used for course fullnames, was being used for a person's full name in some quiz reports. This dual usage is not translatable into all languages. Merged from MOODLE_18_STABLE.
MDL-6043 - supplimental - make corse reset function update quiz open and close dates. Thanks to Shamim Rezaei for the implementation, which I edited slightly.
MDL-11353 Completed the implementation. This included a new method in grade_item: get_displaytype(), since that value could be set to default, and we must then look up to course, then site values. And the get_letter() method in grade_grade has been modified to first check the grade_letters table. All works like a dream!
MDL-6315 - When processing a manul grading action, if both the comment and the score are blank - as might be the case on the 'Grade all' page of the manual grading when the teacher uses it to grade some, but not all of the students - then do not record the question as graded. Merged from MOODLE_18_STABLE.
accesslib: get_dirty_contexts() - fix race condition, forget about CAST()s
In one tiny patch we do two things.
First, we fix the race condition around dirty context and accessdata
timestamps -- it is saner to offset the check than to offset the
recording of the change (as an earlier patch did).
On a cluster, you still need NTP.
Second, we do away with CAST(). Ideally, the values should be compared
as ints but it's hard to get a CAST() syntax that is portable enough
to work on all our supported DBs. And Eloy pointed out (and I
corroborated testing) that we'll never have problems with the string
length, as our timestamps are always 10 chars as a string... and the
day they go to 11 chars we'll hit the unix Year-2038 bug.
accesslib: build_context_path() now sets path/depth for other blocks
Blocks not on the coursepage should have their context "hanging" from the
site context. get_context_instance() was doing this correctly, but not
build_context_path().
accesslib: make_context_subobj() now expects ctxlevel, and fix all callers
make_context_subobj() was not providing a contextlevel property, and
no callers fetched the field. This comes from its humble origins where
it was only ever called for course objects. These days it's used in
many other situations, so this patch DTRT and
- fixes make_context_subobj() expect a cxtlevel and turn it into
contextlevel
- fixes all callers (accesslib, datalib) to provide it
datalib:get_courses_wmanagers() handle empty $CFG->coursemanager more gracefully
Having no roles set as coursemanager is a valid setting.
get_courses_wmanagers() should not produce invalid SQL on it...
actually, it should not even try to get the course managers.
accesslib: get_user_access_sitewide() was skipping rdefs
The SQL query that would fetch rdefs not associated with any ra was
not being executed. Duh! For example, a user with a teacher RA sitewide
would never be affected by a role override at the category
level, because it was not being loaded into accessdata.
accesslib: get_user_access_bycontext() fetches all relevant rdefs
get_user_access_bycontext() was narrowing down too much the rdefs it
was fetching. With this patch, it now correctly retrieves the rdefs for
new roles assigned in lower contexts, and also correctly retrieves
rdefs present in the course context (fixing MDL-11220).
This also means that we now do the job in 2 DB queries (instead of 3),
and we move a bit more data, but those rows are actually needed ;-)
calendar/lib: calendar_set_filters() use pre-fetched context and course recs
Showing the calendar block was causing 2 DB queries per course the
user is enrolled in. Instead, use the data available in the array that
is passed as a parameter, and spare the DB a ton of needless traffic.
Fixes MDL-11221 Calendar not using context stuff from get_my_courses
course/index: remove call to rebuild_context_rel()
Very last caller to rebuild_context_rel() and any XX_context_rel()
function. move_category() already takes care of calling
context_moved(), which does the required context.path maintenance.
course/lib: print_course() fix bug when $course->managers was not set
Fix a thinko in a variable assignment that prevented us from grabbing
the correct roles as managers. Addresses Yu's report at
MDL-11182 admin shows up as teacher.
The initial implementation of has_cap_fad() just added the permission
values regardless of the locality of the context. This patch adds
support (read: fixes bug) for the "local context wins" rule.
Additionally, it removes a related bug where we were exiting early
if we found a CAP_PROHIBIT, ignoring the $doanything flag.
course/lib: print_my_moodle() - ask get_my_courses() for the summary
get_my_courses() now defaults to a much leaner dataset, but accepts an
array of "additional" fields we want. So ask nicely for the summary,
so that we can print_course() later with it.
accesslib - Ensure newly-created categories have a context
New categories need a context immediately, and for top-level
categories, they also need to taint the "root" context to trigger
a reload of $USER->access.
This fixes problems with creation of initial courses(MDL-11178),
duplicate misc categories, etc.
index: use $PAGE->edit_course_allowed() instead of editcourseallowed()
$PAGE->edit_course_allowed() has been reworked and is faster/smarter
than editcourseallowed(). It can also be made more specific on a
per-page-type basis.
