| <strike>I'm currently working on porting the settings to XML and putting together the new index.php admin page. Please use the talk page to leave me any comments, I'll be checking it regularly.</strike>
| | {{Moved_to_dev_docs}} |
| | |
| This just in: no XML! The new format will be PHP/OO-based. New code to come soon. (Till then, take a look at the [[Student projects/Admin page cleanup/Reorg|Reorg]] page, which still contains useful data.)

| == Random Notes ==
| |
| | |
| * <strike>I mentioned (in my proposal) using XML to store the hierarchy. I still think this is ideal (after all, XML seems to lend itself to hierarchical data), but I think there are a few ways to expand this. Notably, along with the settings, we can store
| |
| # whether a setting should appear on the initial (installation) config page (granted, this'll require a rewrite or modification of the initial config page)
| |
| # if a new setting has been set to the default because of an upgrade, then we can have a config page that appears when upgrading which shows only the flagged, new variables (i.e. those that were set to defaults)</strike>
| |
| * Site settings and editor settings could be grouped together (but I won't jumble up settings between the two of them; they'll just have the same parent in the hierarchy).
| |
| * Logs and Site Files sections look good as-is... probably won't make very many changes there
| |
| * Will try to improve on course administration interface (ideas to come soon)
| |
| * (Sort of) redo the user management interface so that we can get rid of the "Assign Teachers", "Assign Admins", etc. options on the main admin page (i.e. have a single link to a "User Management Interface" and do everything else from there.
| |
| * Group Modules, Filters, and Blocks (and other 16 types of plugins) under a top-level category called Plug-Ins (similar to the way it's done on [http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?id=6009 moodle.org])
| |
| * <strike>Will probably use the PHP SimpleXML extension for reading XML files; variable data will be stored in current locations, not in XML, thus no XML changes will be made by PHP</strike>
