This files describes API changes in /blocks/* - activity modules,
|
|
information provided here is intended especially for developers.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.7 ===
|
|
* The block:addinstance capability is no longer required if the block can only be added to a dashboard.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.6 ===
|
|
|
|
* The timeline view from block_myoverview has been split out into block_timeline.
|
|
* External function core_blocks::get_course_blocks now returns the block visible status and weight for ordering.
|
|
* New method added block_base::get_content_for_external(). It will return all the block contents rendered for external functions.
|
|
If your block is returning formatted content or provide files for download, you should override this method to use the
|
|
external_format_text, external_format_string functions for formatting or external_util::get_area_files for files.
|
|
See block_html as example.
|
|
* External functions core_block::get_course_blocks and core_block::get_dashboard_blocks have a new parameter to indicate if
|
|
you want to receive the block contents.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.4 ===
|
|
|
|
* The block_instances table now contains fields timecreated and timemodified. If third-party code
|
|
creates or updates these rows (without using the standard API), it should be modified to set
|
|
these fields as appropriate.
|
|
* Blocks can now be included in Moodle global search, with some limitations (at present, the search
|
|
works only for blocks located directly on course pages or site home page). See the HTML block for
|
|
an example.
|
|
* Block block_messages is no longer a part of core.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.3 ===
|
|
|
|
* block_manager::get_required_by_theme_block_types() is no longer static.
|
|
* The plugin block_course_overview has been removed from core and is being replaced by block_myoverview.
|
|
During the upgrade process the block_course_overview block will be uninstalled and all its settings will be deleted.
|
|
If you wish to keep the block_course_overview block and its settings, download it from moodle.org and put it back in
|
|
the blocks/ directory BEFORE UPGRADING.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.1 ===
|
|
|
|
* The collapsed class was removed from the navigation block to make it compatible with aria.
|
|
* New aria attributes were added on the navigation block [aria-expanded="false"].
|
|
* The tree JS handling were moved from YUI to AMD module (Jquery).
|
|
|
|
=== 2.9 ===
|
|
|
|
* The obsolete method preferred_width() was removed (it was not doing anything)
|
|
* Deprecated block_base::config_save as is not called anywhere and should not be used.
|
|
* Added instance_copy() function to the block_base class. This function allows for block
|
|
specific data to be copied when a block is copied.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.8 ===
|
|
|
|
* The instance_config_print() function was removed. It was deprecated in
|
|
Moodle 2.0, but without debugging notices. Since it was no longer a part
|
|
of the code path, debugging notices would not have been displayed.
|
|
* Deprecated functions were removed from the block_base class:
|
|
** _print_block()
|
|
** _print_shadow()
|
|
** _title_html()
|
|
** _add_edit_controls()
|
|
** config_print()
|
|
|
|
=== 2.6 ===
|
|
|
|
* Deprecated /admin/block.php was removed, make sure blocks are using settings.php instead.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.4 ===
|
|
|
|
Created new capability 'blocks/xxx:myaddinstance' that determines whether a user can add
|
|
a specific block to their My Home page. This capability was only defined for blocks where
|
|
the applicable_formats function does not include "'my' => false" in the returned array,
|
|
allowing it be added to the My Home page.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.3 ===
|
|
|
|
required changes in code:
|
|
* block_xxx_pluginfile() is now given the 7th parameter (hopefully the last one) that
|
|
contains additional options for the file serving. The array should be re-passed
|
|
to send_stored_file().
|
|
|
|
=== 2.0 ===
|
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
