1 This files describes API changes in /availability/*.
3 The information here is intended only for developers.
7 * Method render_core_availability_multiple_messages() is deprecated. Please use core_availability\\output\\multiple_messages
8 The new rendereable will produce output with a 'more' link when there is lots of availability information.
9 * There were existing restrictions on what condition plugins can do in the get_description
10 method (for example they mustn't call format_string), which were not well documented.
11 New functions description_cm_name(), description_format_string(), description_callback()
12 can be used so that condition plugins to behave correctly in all situations.
16 * Condition plugins must replace the CSS selector "#fitem_id_availabilityconditionsjson" with ".availability-field".
17 This selector is often used in your plugin's yui/src/form/js/form.js file.
21 * Condition plugins can now implement a new include_after_restore function to
22 indicate that they should be removed during the restore process. (This is
23 implemented so that group and grouping conditions are removed if groups are
28 * There is a new API function in the info_module/info_section objects (and
29 related functions in internal API): get_user_list_sql. This returns SQL code
30 that does roughly the same as filter_user_list to return a list of users who
31 should be shown as having access to the module or section.
33 * Any third-party availability plugins which return true to
34 is_applied_to_user_lists (and therefore previously implemented
35 filter_user_list) should now also implement get_user_list_sql. If not
36 implemented, a debugging warning will occur when anybody calls
37 get_user_list_sql if the affected plugin is in use, and that user list will
38 not be filtered by the plugin.
