1 This files describes API changes in /admin/*.
5 * The following functions, previously used (exclusively) by upgrade steps are not available anymore because of the upgrade cleanup performed for this version. See MDL-65809 for more info:
6 - upgrade_fix_block_instance_configuration()
7 - upgrade_theme_is_from_family()
8 - upgrade_find_theme_location()
9 - linkcoursesectionsupgradescriptwasrun setting
10 - upgrade_block_positions()
14 * Admin setting "Open to Google" (opentogoogle) has been renamed to the more generic "Open to search engines" (opentowebcrawlers).
15 This is a more accurate representation of what is being set and the config string has also been moved and updated to reflect this.
19 * Admin setting "Allow blocks to use the dock" (allowblockstodock) has been removed & stings deprecated.
20 Docking of blocks is no longer supported within the core themes (Boost, Classic).
21 Please see MDL-64506 for further details.
25 * The admin settings admin_setting_configselect and admin_setting_configmultiselect now support the optgroup tag.
26 Grouping of options can be created with this new tag.
27 For using it, the option parameters needs the Group names as indexes:
29 "Spain" => ["madrid" => "Madrid", "barcelona" => "Barcelona"],
30 "France" => ["paris" => "Paris", "marseille" => "Marseille"],
35 * Admin settings have been refined to better support right-to-left languages. In RTL,
36 most fields should not have their direction flipped, a URL, a path to a file, ...
37 are always displayed LTR. The admin setting will now best guess if they should be
38 RTLized based on their PARAM_* type. To override that guess, use
39 admin_setting::set_force_ltr(true/false).
