Class: base_block - X-Ref
Search area base class for blocks.Note: Only blocks within courses are supported.
| get_block_name() X-Ref |
| Gets the block name only. return: string Block name e.g. 'html' |
| get_indexing_restrictions() X-Ref |
| Returns restrictions on which block_instances rows to return. By default, excludes rows that have empty configdata. If no restriction is required, you could return ['', []]. return: array 2-element array of SQL restriction and params for it |
| get_document_recordset($modifiedfrom = 0, \context $context = null) X-Ref |
| Gets recordset of all blocks of this type modified since given time within the given context. See base class for detailed requirements. This implementation includes the key fields from block_instances. This can be overridden to do something totally different if the block's data is stored in other tables. If there are certain instances of the block which should not be included in the search index then you can override get_indexing_restrictions; by default this excludes rows with empty configdata. param: int $modifiedfrom Return only records modified after this date param: \context|null $context Context to find blocks within return: false|\moodle_recordset|null |
| get_doc_url(\core_search\document $doc) X-Ref |
| No description |
| get_context_url(\core_search\document $doc) X-Ref |
| No description |
| check_access($id) X-Ref |
| Checks access for a document in this search area. If you override this function for a block, you should call this base class version first as it will check that the block is still visible to users in a supported location. param: int $id Document id return: int manager:ACCESS_xx constant |
| is_supported_page_type_at_course_context($pagetype) X-Ref |
| Checks if a page type is supported for blocks when at course (or also site) context. This function should be consistent with the SQL in get_recordset_by_timestamp. param: string $pagetype Page type return: bool True if supported |
| get_block_instance($id, $strictness = MUST_EXIST) X-Ref |
| Gets a block instance with given id. Returns the fields id, pagetypepattern, subpagepattern from block_instances and also the cmid (if parent context is an activity module). param: int $id ID of block instance param: int $strictness MUST_EXIST or IGNORE_MISSING return: false|mixed Block instance data (may be false if strictness is IGNORE_MISSING) |
| clear_static() X-Ref |
| Clears static cache. This function can be removed (with calls to it in the test script replaced with cache_helper::purge_all) if MDL-59427 is fixed. |
| get_context_restriction_sql(\context $context = null, $blocktable = 'bi',$paramtype = SQL_PARAMS_QM) X-Ref |
| Helper function that gets SQL useful for restricting a search query given a passed-in context. The SQL returned will be one or more JOIN statements, surrounded by whitespace, which act as restrictions on the query based on the rows in the block_instances table. We assume the block instances have already been restricted by blockname. Returns null if there can be no results for this block within this context. If named parameters are used, these will be named gcrs0, gcrs1, etc. The table aliases used in SQL also all begin with gcrs, to avoid conflicts. param: \context|null $context Context to restrict the query param: string $blocktable Alias of block_instances table param: int $paramtype Type of SQL parameters to use (default question mark) return: array Array with SQL and parameters |
| get_contexts_to_reindex_extra_sql() X-Ref |
| This can be used in subclasses to change ordering within the get_contexts_to_reindex function. It returns 2 values: - Extra SQL joins (tables block_instances 'bi' and context 'x' already exist). - An ORDER BY value which must use aggregate functions, by default 'MAX(bi.timemodified) DESC'. Note the query already includes a GROUP BY on the context fields, so if your joins result in multiple rows, you can use aggregate functions in the ORDER BY. See forum for an example. return: string[] Array with 2 elements; extra joins for the query, and ORDER BY value |
| get_contexts_to_reindex() X-Ref |
| Gets a list of all contexts to reindex when reindexing this search area. For blocks, the default is to return all contexts for blocks of that type, that are on a course page, in order of time added (most recent first). return: \Iterator Iterator of contexts to reindex |
| get_doc_icon(document $doc) X-Ref |
| Returns an icon instance for the document. param: \core_search\document $doc return: \core_search\document_icon |
| get_category_names() X-Ref |
| Returns a list of category names associated with the area. return: array |
