This files describes API changes in /message/ messaging system,
|
|
information provided here is intended especially for developers.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.7 ===
|
|
|
|
* The message/index.php page used to support viewing another user's messages (if you had the right capabilities) by
|
|
altering the URL and adding the parameters 'user1' and 'user2'. There were only some very rare occurrences where you
|
|
could access a URL generated with these parameters (eg. log report). It was decided to stop supporting this
|
|
functionality and remove all the legacy code (see MDL-63915).
|
|
Note - It's still possible to view another user's messages if you have the right capabilities and are able to
|
|
'log-in as' them.
|
|
* A new parameter 'mergeself' has been added to the methods \core_message\api::get_conversations() and
|
|
core_message_external::get_conversations(), to decide whether the self-conversations should be included or not when the
|
|
private ones are requested, to display them together.
|
|
* A new 'customdata' field for both messages and notifications has been added. This new field can store any custom data
|
|
serialised using json_encode().
|
|
This new field can be used for storing any data not fitting in the current message structure. For example, it will be used
|
|
to store additional information for the "Mobile notifications" processor.
|
|
Existing external functions: core_message_get_messages and message_popup_get_popup_notifications has been udated to return the
|
|
new field.
|
|
* External function core_message_get_messages now returns the component and eventtype.
|
|

|
=== 3.5 ===
|
|
|
|
* Changed the database structure so there are no longer two tables for messages, with the only
|
|
difference being that one stores read messages. The 'message' and 'message_read' tables are
|
|
still present in core but will no longer be populated by core APIs. The data will be
|
|
transferred to the new database structure via an ad-hoc task. Please be patient. This can
|
|
take time.
|
|
The new database structure is as follows -
|
|
'messages' - Stores the messages with a 'useridfrom' field specifying the user who sent the
|
|
message and a 'conversationid' field specifying which conversation it is for.
|
|
'message_conversations' - The list of conversations.
|
|
'message_conversation_members' - The list of users in each conversation.
|
|
'message_user_actions' - The list of user actions against a message, eg. read/deleted.
|
|
'notifications' - This has a very similar structure to the old table 'message' and still
|
|
has a one-to-one relation between users.
|
|
Due to these huge differences the events message_sent, message_deleted and message_viewed
|
|
have changed quite a lot. Please, if you have any observers or are triggering these events
|
|
in your code you will have to make some changes!
|
|
* The webservice external function 'core_message_mark_message_read' now only marks messages as
|
|
read, and not notifications. A new external function 'core_message_mark_notification_read' was
|
|
added to mark notifications as read.
|
|
* Deprecated the following functions.
|
|
- message_move_userfrom_unread2read
|
|
- message_get_blocked_users
|
|
- message_get_contacts
|
|
- message_mark_message_read
|
|
- message_can_delete_message
|
|
- message_delete_message
|
|
- \core_message\api::mark_all_read_for_user
|
|
Please see their declaration in lib/deprecatedlib.php to view their alternatives (if applicable).
|
|
* Final deprecation of the following functions.
|
|
- message_get_recent_notifications
|
|
- message_search
|
|
- message_get_history
|
|
- message_get_recent_conversations
|
|
* Added new events for when a notification is sent and viewed.
|
|
* Removed the database table 'message_working'. The 'message_working' table was introduced when
|
|
the messaging system was first introduced in Moodle, so, a long time ago. It was never necessary.
|
|
* Replaced the usage of the table 'message_popup' to a new table 'message_popup_notifications'.
|
|
|
|
=== 3.2 ===
|
|
|
|
* Removed all message_print_* functions as well as the files search.html, search_advanced.html and
|
|
send_form.php due to messaging UI rehaul.
|
|
* Deprecated the following functions as they are no longer used.
|
|
- message_get_course_contexts
|
|
- message_remove_url_params
|
|
- message_count_messages
|
|
- message_count_blocked_users
|
|
- message_contact_link
|
|
- message_get_recent_notifications
|
|
- message_history_link
|
|
- message_search
|
|

|
|
|
=== 3.1 ===
|
|
* get_message_processors accepts an addition parameter for testing, which will just reset processor and exit.
|
|
* Deprecated method message_current_user_is_involved() has been removed.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.9 ===
|
|
* Renderer method \core_message_renderer::manage_messagingoptions now accepts a user id parameter as well.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.6 ===
|
|
* Message processor extending message_output, should return true in can_send_to_any_users()
|
|
if it supports message sending to internal (noreply/support) users.
|
|
* Message API has been changed to allow attachments. Message processors that can support
|
|
attachments can now use additional parameter as a part of $eventdata. To send attachments,
|
|
$eventdata should contain properties called "attachment" (must be stored_file) and
|
|
"attachname" (string). Currently, email message processor is the only one to support
|
|
attachments.
|
|
|
|
=== 2.2 ===
|
|
|
|
required changes:
|
|
* lib/messagelib.php message_send($eventdata)
|
|
$eventdata->userto should contain a property called "emailstop", $eventdata->userto->emailstop
|
|
If it is absent it will be retrieved from the user table causing an additional database query
|
|
