Czech Hackfest 2009 notes

Hackfest participants, if anything we discussed has been been missed out, please edit the page and add it!

Moodle 2.0

previously teachers moving, renaming files and linking them from everywhere e.g. backup and restore includes all course and site files just in case
can be lots of files in course files not used at all, people upload new version, same file put in lots of courses
2 character directory names
things which really need testing - copying of files during upgrade
need to warn admins in upgrade notes
no longer course files for teachers
in 2.0 file link will contain lots of info - path, file name
if teacher uploads new version of file, students immediately see new version
re draft files, previously editing files in place, no undo, when editing set of files copy of old files made, copied to draft area, after editing click save then option to submit or cancel / discard
no direct editing of files, done in separate area, instead of using course files, use file picker, save rubbish elsewhere
missing piece - management of personal files
interface needs optimizing
not yet done: quotas
editing activity content section ajaxy

Needs to be a block
2 dimensions - context (site, course, activities) and page type (course-view, mod-quiz-view etc)
moodle theme changes, base class, page class
mod/quiz/lang - lang file in plugin folder (same for core and contrib)
mod/quiz/theme - theme file in plugin folder (same for core and contrib)
base theme as simple as possible, install theme will be different - nice-looking theme
no more standard red, blue etc, config options to change colours instead, easier to customize
2.0 themes should have much better performance
should be easy to install new icon sets e.g. tango
sam going to convert/redevelop one theme for 2.0 then patrick to develop 20
