Publishflow Block : Requirements
From MoodleDocs
XMLRPC Handling by blocks
The Publishflow block makes an important use of MNET RPC calls at block level.
Running the Publishflow architecture needs to add an identified patch called : extending RPC handling to blocks in Moodle 1.9. This handling is implemented in Moodle 2.0.
Tracker reference is : http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-23194
User Mnet Hosts block
In its actual version, the publish flow uses the blocks/user_mnet_hosts (non standard) block as basic policy to allow or not allow course deployment.
(That is, a user need tohave a granted access to a MNET remote host to be able to deploy or publish).
This was used in some projects.
We should provide a further version that avoid this cross dependancy.
