1 This files describes API changes in /report/* - plugins,
2 information provided here is intended especially for developers.
6 * The previously deprecated `report_helper::save_selected_report` method has been removed
10 * The method report_progress\local\helper::get_activities_to_show() has an additional parameter $activitysection
11 to support filtering by sections.
15 * The method report_helper::save_selected_report() has been been deprecated because it is no longer used.
19 * The new report plugin's can have drop down, which can be included by calling static
20 methods save_selected_report and print_report_selector in lib/classes/report_helper.php.
21 The save_selected_report helps to remember the most recently accessed report plugin.
22 print_report_selector would help to show the dropdown, on the report page. Make sure
23 to call print_report_selector after the header is printed/echoed.
27 * The final deprecation of xxx_delete_course callback means that this function will no longer be called.
28 Please use the observer for event \core\event\course_content_deleted instead.
31 * Callback delete_course is deprecated and should be replaced with observer for event \core\event\course_content_deleted
32 * The report_log_print_graph signature and behaviour has changed to generate charts using
33 the new Chart API. The third argument has been renamed to $typeormode and it accepts
34 the type (usercourse.png, userday.png) or the mode (today, all).
37 * How to migrate reports accessing table 'log':
38 http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Migrating_log_access_in_reports
39 * All reports that use logstores must implement a callback report_reportname_supports_logstore($storeinstance) in lib.php of the
40 report. Refer MDL-44596 for details.
45 * reports were moved from /admin/report/ to /report/
46 * new support for report settings
