Blocks 2.0.3 UI
This page specs some refinements to the blocks config UI for Moodle 2.0.3. See MDL-26105 for details.
Home context
Indicate where the "home" context is for this block. The place it was created.
Reduce page types
Reduce the number of page type options using a callback so that all components can exactly specify what they support. If the component doesn't have a callback then fallback to the calculated list we have now.
Upgrade block_instances->page_patterns
All of the existing instances need to be upgraded to remove any settings that are no longer appearing in the UI. This will have to be implemented with an upgrade block in each module, added at the same time as the callback.
Sub-page types
Instead of showing "This specific page (Page 13)" (the sub page id)
- Remove the "Page 13" completely
- Make the navbar show the page name: Sitename -> Site pages -> Tags -> My funky tag -> XXX Block -> Configuration
User blocks
Blocks created on user pages ie the My Moodle page or profile pages (including those that were copied from the default blocks the first time the user tries to customise the page) just need to show the page types menu to select between:
- Public user profile page (user-profile)
- Private "My Moodle" page (my-index)
- All pages (*)
This list will come from a callback function in /user/lib.php
Module blocks
Blocks should looking for page pattern from module callback which comes from /mod/$mod/lib.php
Blocks' page types should be limited to module context only, module will decide what types will be available.
