| __construct() X-Ref |
| Constructor. return: void |
| get_levels() X-Ref |
| Returns context levels property. return: int |
| get_area_id() X-Ref |
| Returns the area id. return: string |
| get_component_name() X-Ref |
| Returns the moodle component name. It might be the plugin name (whole frankenstyle name) or the core subsystem name. return: string |
| get_component_type() X-Ref |
| Returns the component type. It might be a plugintype or 'core' for core subsystems. return: string |
| get_visible_name($lazyload = false) X-Ref |
| Returns the area visible name. param: bool $lazyload Usually false, unless when in admin settings. return: string |
| get_config_var_name() X-Ref |
| Returns the config var name. It depends on whether it is a moodle subsystem or a plugin as plugin-related config should remain in their own scope. return: string Config var path including the plugin (or component) and the varname |
| get_config() X-Ref |
| Returns all the search area configuration. return: array |
| get_settingnames() X-Ref |
| Return a list of all required setting names. return: array |
| is_enabled() X-Ref |
| Is the search component enabled by the system administrator? return: bool |
| set_enabled($isenabled) X-Ref |
| No description |
| get_last_indexing_duration() X-Ref |
| Gets the length of time spent indexing this area (the last time it was indexed). return: int|bool Time in seconds spent indexing this area last time, false if never indexed |
| uses_file_indexing() X-Ref |
| Returns true if this area uses file indexing. return: bool |
| get_recordset_by_timestamp($modifiedfrom = 0) X-Ref |
| Returns a recordset ordered by modification date ASC. Each record can include any data self::get_document might need but it must: - Include an 'id' field: Unique identifier (in this area's scope) of a document to index in the search engine If the indexed content field can contain embedded files, the 'id' value should match the filearea itemid. - Only return data modified since $modifiedfrom, including $modifiedform to prevent some records from not being indexed (e.g. your-timemodified-fieldname >= $modifiedfrom) - Order the returned data by time modified in ascending order, as \core_search::manager will need to store the modified time of the last indexed document. Since Moodle 3.4, subclasses should instead implement get_document_recordset, which has an additional context parameter. This function continues to work for implementations which haven't been updated, or where the context parameter is not required. param: int $modifiedfrom return: \moodle_recordset |
| get_document_recordset($modifiedfrom = 0, \context $context = null) X-Ref |
| Returns a recordset containing all items from this area, optionally within the given context, and including only items modifed from (>=) the specified time. The recordset must be ordered in ascending order of modified time. Each record can include any data self::get_document might need. It must include an 'id' field,a unique identifier (in this area's scope) of a document to index in the search engine. If the indexed content field can contain embedded files, the 'id' value should match the filearea itemid. The return value can be a recordset, null (if this area does not provide any results in the given context and there is no need to do a database query to find out), or false (if this facility is not currently supported by this search area). If this function returns false, then: - If indexing the entire system (no context restriction) the search indexer will try get_recordset_by_timestamp instead - If trying to index a context (e.g. when restoring a course), the search indexer will not index this area, so that restored content may not be indexed. The default implementation returns false, indicating that this facility is not supported and the older get_recordset_by_timestamp function should be used. This function must accept all possible values for the $context parameter. For example, if you are implementing this function for the forum module, it should still operate correctly if called with the context for a glossary module, or for the HTML block. (In these cases where it will not return any data, it may return null.) The $context parameter can also be null or the system context; both of these indicate that all data, without context restriction, should be returned. param: int $modifiedfrom Return only records modified after this date param: \context|null $context Context (null means no context restriction) return: \moodle_recordset|null|false Recordset / null if no results / false if not supported |
| supports_get_document_recordset() X-Ref |
| Checks if get_document_recordset is supported for this search area. For many uses you can simply call get_document_recordset and see if it returns false, but this function is useful when you don't want to actually call the function right away. |
| get_document_display_title(\core_search\document $doc) X-Ref |
| Returns the document title to display. Allow to customize the document title string to display. param: \core_search\document $doc return: string Document title to display in the search results page |
| get_search_fileareas() X-Ref |
| Return the context info required to index files for this search area. Should be onerridden by each search area. return: array |
| attach_files($document) X-Ref |
| Files related to the current document are attached, to the document object ready for indexing by Global Search. The default implementation retrieves all files for the file areas returned by get_search_fileareas(). If you need to filter files to specific items per file area, you will need to override this method and explicitly provide the items. param: document $document The current document return: void |
| get_course_level_context_restriction_sql(?\context $context,$coursetable, $paramtype = SQL_PARAMS_QM) X-Ref |
| Helper function that gets SQL useful for restricting a search query given a passed-in context, for data stored at course level. The SQL returned will be zero or more JOIN statements, surrounded by whitespace, which act as restrictions on the query based on the rows in a module table. You can pass in a null or system context, which will both return an empty string and no params. Returns an array with two nulls if there can be no results for a course within this context. If named parameters are used, these will be named gclcrs0, gclcrs1, etc. The table aliases used in SQL also all begin with gclcrs, to avoid conflicts. param: \context|null $context Context to restrict the query param: string $coursetable Name of alias for course table e.g. 'c' param: int $paramtype Type of SQL parameters to use (default question mark) return: array Array with SQL and parameters; both null if no need to query |
| get_contexts_to_reindex() X-Ref |
| Gets a list of all contexts to reindex when reindexing this search area. The list should be returned in an order that is likely to be suitable when reindexing, for example with newer contexts first. The default implementation simply returns the system context, which will result in reindexing everything in normal date order (oldest 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 |
