| Main upgrade tasks to be executed on Moodle version bump This function is automatically executed after one bump in the Moodle core version is detected. It's in charge of performing the required tasks to raise core from the previous version to the next one. It's a collection of ordered blocks of code, named "upgrade steps", each one performing one isolated (from the rest of steps) task. Usually tasks involve creating new DB objects or performing manipulation of the information for cleanup/fixup purposes. Each upgrade step has a fixed structure, that can be summarised as follows: if ($oldversion < XXXXXXXXXX.XX) { // Explanation of the update step, linking to issue in the Tracker if necessary upgrade_set_timeout(XX); // Optional for big tasks // Code to execute goes here, usually the XMLDB Editor will // help you here. See {@link http://docs.moodle.org/dev/XMLDB_editor}. upgrade_main_savepoint(true, XXXXXXXXXX.XX); } All plugins within Moodle (modules, blocks, reports...) support the existence of their own upgrade.php file, using the "Frankenstyle" component name as defined at {@link http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Frankenstyle}, for example: - {@link xmldb_page_upgrade($oldversion)}. (modules don't require the plugintype ("mod_") to be used. - {@link xmldb_auth_manual_upgrade($oldversion)}. - {@link xmldb_workshopform_accumulative_upgrade($oldversion)}. - .... In order to keep the contents of this file reduced, it's allowed to create some helper functions to be used here in the {@link upgradelib.php} file at the same directory. Note that such a file must be manually included from upgrade.php, and there are some restrictions about what can be used within it. For more information, take a look to the documentation available: - Data definition API: {@link http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Data_definition_API} - Upgrade API: {@link http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Upgrade_API} param: int $oldversion return: bool always true |
