Ideen für Glossarlisten-Block:

Some unsorted ideas

Extending the "Context" concept

• extending the concept of Context from courses, roles or site to users
• Development:Roles#Context

"Please note that CONTEXT_PERSONAL (present in 1.7-1.8) was never implemented and was removed in 1.9."

CONTEXT_PERSONAL in the forums

• Development:Roles and modules#Context

• "Roles and contexts in Moodle 1.7" forum discussion

• Development:Roles#Programming_Interface - defining new capabilities with access.php.

• Roles and capabilities
• Role permissions

• Hubert Chathi/Custom Context Levels

• (Development:Competencies for Moodle 2.0)???

Activities Block

• use activity_modules block as a template for glossary_list block

Direct SQL

• request SQL with dmllib.php?
• function get_fast_modinfo in moodle\course\lib.php (1058) - works only on course level ("Returns reference to full info about modules in course")

Is there an equivalent at site level?

Miscellaneous

• Alternatives:

1. get list of all courses (IDs)
2. collect all glossaries
3. show only those for the current user

• http://localhost/moodle_cvs/moodle/mod/glossary/index.php?id=1 gets a list of all glossaries for the current course

Possibly useful functions

\mod\glossary

• glossary/index.php
• exportentry.php

datalib.php

• get_my_courses

Convenience function - lists courses that a user has access to view.

• get_all_instances_in_courses

Returns an array of all the active instances of a particular module in given courses, sorted in the order they are defined.

• get_coursemodule_from_id

Given an id of a course module, finds the coursemodule description.

• get_coursemodule_from_instance

Given an instance number of a module, finds the coursemodule description.

Miscellaneous

• get_user_courses_bycap()

If you really want to know what courses are assigned to the user,

without any hiding or scheming, call the lower-level get_user_courses_bycap().
