Basic moodle context abstraction class.
Google confirms that no other important framework is using "context" class,
we could use something else like mcontext or moodle_context, but we need to type
this very often which would be annoying and it would take too much space...
This class is derived from stdClass for backwards compatibility with
odl $context record that was returned from DML $DB->get_record()

| get_short_name() X-Ref |
| Returns short context name. return: string |
| reset_caches() X-Ref |
| Resets the cache to remove all data. |
| cache_add(context $context) X-Ref |
| Adds a context to the cache. If the cache is full, discards a batch of older entries. param: context $context New context to add return: void |
| cache_remove(context $context) X-Ref |
| Removes a context from the cache. param: context $context Context object to remove return: void |
| cache_get($contextlevel, $instance) X-Ref |
| Gets a context from the cache. param: int $contextlevel Context level param: int $instance Instance ID return: context|bool Context or false if not in cache |
| cache_get_by_id($id) X-Ref |
| Gets a context from the cache based on its id. param: int $id Context ID return: context|bool Context or false if not in cache |
| preload_from_record(stdClass $rec) X-Ref |
| Preloads context information from db record and strips the cached info. param: stdClass $rec return: context|null (modifies $rec) |
| __set($name, $value) X-Ref |
| Magic setter method, we do not want anybody to modify properties from the outside param: string $name param: mixed $value |
| __get($name) X-Ref |
| Magic method getter, redirects to read only values. param: string $name return: mixed |
| __isset($name) X-Ref |
| Full support for isset on our magic read only properties. param: string $name return: bool |
| __unset($name) X-Ref |
| All properties are read only, sorry. param: string $name |
| getIterator() X-Ref |
| Create an iterator because magic vars can't be seen by 'foreach'. Now we can convert context object to array using convert_to_array(), and feed it properly to json_encode(). |
| __construct(stdClass $record) X-Ref |
| Constructor is protected so that devs are forced to use context_xxx::instance() or context::instance_by_id(). param: stdClass $record |
| create_instance_from_record(stdClass $record) X-Ref |
| This function is also used to work around 'protected' keyword problems in context_helper. param: stdClass $record return: context instance |
| merge_context_temp_table() X-Ref |
| Copy prepared new contexts from temp table to context table, we do this in db specific way for perf reasons only. |
| instance_by_id($id, $strictness = MUST_EXIST) X-Ref |
| Get a context instance as an object, from a given context id. param: int $id context id param: int $strictness IGNORE_MISSING means compatible mode, false returned if record not found, debug message if more found; return: context|bool the context object or false if not found |
| update_moved(context $newparent) X-Ref |
| Update context info after moving context in the tree structure. param: context $newparent return: void |
| set_locked(bool $locked) X-Ref |
| Set whether this context has been locked or not. param: bool $locked return: $this |
| reset_paths($rebuild = true) X-Ref |
| Remove all context path info and optionally rebuild it. param: bool $rebuild return: void |
| delete_content() X-Ref |
| Delete all data linked to content, do not delete the context record itself |
| delete_capabilities() X-Ref |
| Unassign all capabilities from a context. |
| delete() X-Ref |
| Delete the context content and the context record itself |
| insert_context_record($contextlevel, $instanceid, $parentpath) X-Ref |
| Utility method for context creation param: int $contextlevel param: int $instanceid param: string $parentpath return: stdClass context record |
| get_context_name($withprefix = true, $short = false, $escape = true) X-Ref |
| Returns human readable context identifier. param: boolean $withprefix whether to prefix the name of the context with the param: boolean $short whether to use the short name of the thing. Only applies param: boolean $escape Whether the returned name of the thing is to be return: string the human readable context name. |
| is_locked() X-Ref |
| Whether the current context is locked. return: bool |
| get_instance_table() X-Ref |
| Returns context instance database name. return: string|null table name for all levels except system. |
| get_behat_reference_columns() X-Ref |
| Returns list of columns that can be used from behat to look up context by reference. return: array list of column names from instance table |
| get_compatible_role_archetypes() X-Ref |
| Returns list of all role archetypes that are compatible with role assignments in context level. return: string[] |
| get_possible_parent_levels() X-Ref |
| Returns list of all possible parent context levels, it may include itself if nesting is allowed. return: int[] |
| get_child_contexts() X-Ref |
| Recursive function which, given a context, find all its children context ids. For course category contexts it will return immediate children and all subcategory contexts. It will NOT recurse into courses or subcategories categories. If you want to do that, call it on the returned courses/categories. When called for a course context, it will return the modules and blocks displayed in the course page and blocks displayed on the module pages. If called on a user/course/module context it _will_ populate the cache with the appropriate contexts ;-) return: array Array of child records |
| is_parent_of(context $possiblechild, bool $includeself) X-Ref |
| Determine if the current context is a parent of the possible child. param: context $possiblechild param: bool $includeself Whether to check the current context return: bool |
| get_parent_contexts($includeself = false) X-Ref |
| Returns parent contexts of this context in reversed order, i.e. parent first, then grand parent, etc. param: bool $includeself true means include self too return: array of context instances |
| is_child_of(context $possibleparent, bool $includeself) X-Ref |
| Determine if the current context is a child of the possible parent. param: context $possibleparent param: bool $includeself Whether to check the current context return: bool |
| get_parent_context_ids($includeself = false) X-Ref |
| Returns parent context ids of this context in reversed order, i.e. parent first, then grand parent, etc. param: bool $includeself true means include self too return: array of context ids |
| get_parent_context_paths($includeself = false) X-Ref |
| Returns parent context paths of this context. param: bool $includeself true means include self too return: array of context paths |
| get_parent_context() X-Ref |
| Returns parent context return: context|false |
| get_course_context($strict = true) X-Ref |
| Is this context part of any course? If yes return course context. param: bool $strict true means throw exception if not found, false means return false if not found return: context\course|false context of the enclosing course, null if not found or exception |
| get_cleanup_sql() X-Ref |
| Returns sql necessary for purging of stale context instances. return: string cleanup SQL |
| build_paths($force) X-Ref |
| Rebuild context paths and depths at context level. param: bool $force return: void |
| create_level_instances() X-Ref |
| Create missing context instances at given level return: void |
| reload_if_dirty() X-Ref |
| Reset all cached permissions and definitions if the necessary. return: void |
| mark_dirty() X-Ref |
| Mark a context as dirty (with timestamp) so as to force reloading of the context. |
