Moodle 4.5 developer update
This page highlights the important changes that are coming in Moodle 4.5 for developers.
Core changes
Autoloader
ABORT_AFTER_CONFIG
Prior to Moodle 4.5 only a small number of classes were compatible with scripts using the ABORT_AFTER_CONFIG
constant.
MDL-80275 modifies the location of the class Autoloader in the Moodle bootstrap to make it available to scripts using the ABORT_AFTER_CONFIG
constant.
Please note that the same limitations regarding access to the Database, Session, and similar resources still exist.
Course
Reset course page
The reset course page has been improved. The words "Delete", and "Remove" have been removed from all options to make it easier to focus on the type of data to be removed and avoid inconsistencies and duplicated information. Third party plugins implementing reset methods might need to:
-
Add static element in the
_reset_course_form_definition
method before all the options with theDelete
string:$mform->addElement('static', 'assigndelete', get_string('delete'));
-
Review all the strings used in the reset page to remove the
Delete
orRemove
words from them.
Starting from Moodle 4.5, the Reset course page form defined in the _reset_course_form_definition
method should be reviewed because their options should not contain the Delete
or Remove
words.
Check changes in any of the core plugins that implement the reset course method.
TinyMCE plugins
The helplinktext
language string is no longer required by editor plugins, instead the pluginname
will be used in the help dialogue
