45 * For each course just one instance of this class is created and it will always be returned by
46 * course_get_format($courseorid). Format may store it's specific course-dependent options in
47 * variables of this class.
49 * In rare cases instance of child class may be created just for format without course id
50 * i.e. to check if format supports AJAX.
52 * Also course formats may extend class section_info and overwrite
53 * format_base::build_section_cache() to return more information about sections.
55 * If you are upgrading from Moodle 2.3 start with copying the class format_legacy and renaming
56 * it to format_FORMATNAME, then move the code from your callback functions into
57 * appropriate functions of the class.

508 * course edit form, it may even make sence to use special prefix for them.
510 * Each option must have the option name as a key and the array of properties as a value:
511 * 'default' - default value for this option (assumed null if not specified)
512 * 'type' - type of the option value (PARAM_INT, PARAM_RAW, etc.)
514 * Additional properties used by default implementation of
515 * {@link format_base::create_edit_form_elements()} (calls this method with $foreditform = true)
516 * 'label' - localised human-readable label for the edit form
517 * 'element_type' - type of the form element, default 'text'
518 * 'element_attributes' - additional attributes for the form element, these are 4th and further
519 * arguments in the moodleform::addElement() method
520 * 'help' - string for help button. Note that if 'help' value is 'myoption' then the string with
521 * the name 'myoption_help' must exist in the language file
522 * 'help_component' - language component to look for help string, by default this the component

525 * This is an interface for creating simple form elements. If format plugin wants to use other
526 * methods such as disableIf, it can be done by overriding create_edit_form_elements().

529 * $this->get_course()->OPTIONNAME (inside the format class)
