Prior to this change the use of temptables lead to the database meta

In upgrading to Behat 3 the way in which we escape xpath literal strings
changed.
We now have to use an escaping class, luckily for us one has been made
available and a static shortcut to escape has been created.
All strings being used in xpath should be escaped by call
behat_context_helper::escape()

This change adds two new columns and filters that are available to report
sources using user data. User Last Access and User Last Login are already
columns available in reports but the new columns use a natural language
relative date instead, so feature descriptions such as 'Within the last
hour', 'Today at 10:45' and '3 months ago'.
TL-12390 Added new 'includenotset' option to date filters and applied to Last Login and First Access filters.
This change introduces a new option flag for report builder date filters
that allows a 'not set' checkbox to be added to a standard date filter.

not set in the report.
The 'not set' option has been turned on for the Last Login and First Access
column filters in this change.
TL-12399 Added option to display border on blocks
Added an option to all blocks that allow the user to decide whether or not
to show the border on a block. This will also remove padding so the block
content is aligned with the outer edge of the block allowing blocks to
define their own outer border to avoid double borders. This is achieved by
a new column in the block_instances table
Added an option in the code for blocks to default to having a border or not
which can be overridden on a per-instance basis in the block configuration.
TL-12513 MDL-52840: Changed default setting for assignsubmission_file max bytes to use site upload limit.
TL-12533 MDL-56836: SCORM player display mode retained after relogin

TL-13031 MDL-11369: Added Choice start and end events to the course calendar
TL-13032 MDL-54891: Allowed admin to set defaults and lock settings for Activity results block
Admins should be aware that enabling a lock on a setting will only prevent
the setting on existing Activity results blocks from being changed, and
does not change the settings in those blocks to the default value.
Consequently, if a locked setting on an existing block contains a value
which is not the default, it cannot be changed to the default. Care should
be taken if the intention is to enforce privacy by restricting visibility,
such as if the "Privacy of results" setting is to be locked on "Anonymous
results".

TL-13035 MDL-53222: Improved UI of global search administration pages

TL-13091 MDL-55140: Improved Choice Activity to allow open and close dates to act separately
TL-13100 MDL-53572: HTTP URL setting for the MathJax filter removed
The MathJax filter previously allowed both an HTTP and HTTPS setting for
its URL. The HTTP URL was accessed if the Totara site was run over HTTP.
This was unnecessary as MathJax can still be retrieved via HTTPS
regardless.
If the HTTP URL was left as it's default, you will not have to change
anything. If it was customised, you will be prompted to set the HTTPS URL
following upgrade, given that this will always be used now and may also
require a custom value.

correctly within mod_assign notification

TL-12556 MDL-57182: Fixed invalid login attempt not displaying correctly in the page footer
When using $CFG->displayloginfailures = true in the config.php file the
number of invalid login attempts should be displayed in the header and
footer. This fixes an issue where the message was missing from the footer.
TL-12558 MDL-57257: Added validation for numerical input values in the Lesson module
TL-12559 MDL-57125: Prevented JS error in comment report

TL-12575 MDL-50643: Fixed redirection bug when external SCORM window closes
Previously when an external SCORM window was closed, it redirected the

TL-12630 MDL-46654: Prevented debug output when user cannot subscribe to forum digests
TL-12631 MDL-55628: Updated completion cache to use simpledata
The completion cache is currently not marked as simpledata. On the course
page it is frequently retrieved hundreds of times which results in many
calls to the slow unserialise function. By making a slight change to the
data format (using arrays instead of objects) we can mark it as simpledata,
which will avoid using unserialise.
TL-12988 MDL-54563: Prevented course completion blocks from being added to non-course pages

TL-13344 MDL-55583: Prevented enter reloading the page in search when searching a user's messages
On the users messages page hitting enter in the search box caused the page
to be reloaded. This behavior is now prevented providing a better user

Release Evergreen (27th February 2017):
Security issues:
TL-6810 Added sesskey checks to the programs complete course code

The new default columns are 'Event capacity', 'Number of attendees
(including waiting approval, approved, and wait-listed)', and 'Places
available'
TL-6011 Added new 'timecreated' and 'timemodified' columns and filters to the Record of Learning Evidence report source
TL-5604 Added new 'completion date' filter to the Record of Learning Program report source
TL-6118 Added new 'submission status' column and filter to the Assignment submissions report source
TL-6210 Added new 'Goal type' column and filter to the Goal Summary report source
TL-6335 Added new 'time created', 'time updated', and 'updated by' columns and filters to Seminar report sources

TL-8126 Added new 'Member count' columns to the Position and Organisation report sources
TL-9759 Added new 'user status' column to the Seminar Events & Sessions report sources
TL-11187 Added new content restriction to Seminar report sources that allows content to be restricted based on Seminar session roles
TL-12416 Added badge description column and filter to the Badges issued report source
TL-12447 Added UTC 10AM date field
TL-11277 Multiselect custom fields no longer have a HTML fieldset per option
TL-11291 Replaced the input button with text when editing a users messaging preferences
TL-11317 Added labels to the add rule dropdown when editing the rules of a dynamic audience
TL-11318 Added accessibility labels to Hierarchy framework searches and bulk actions
TL-12314 Improved HTML validation when searching within a Hierarchy framework
TL-12594 Added default html clean up to the static_html form element
Developers need to use
\totara_form\form\element\static_html::set_allow_xss(true) if they want to
include JavaScript code in static HTML forms element.
Bug fixes:
TL-9982 Improved CSS in Learning plan comments for Roots and Basis themes
TL-8375 Fixed issues with audiences in the table for restricting access to a menu item
Added the correct module to the url when rendering the table rows through
ajax. Also, when the form is saved, if "Restrict access by audience" is not
checked then it will remove all audience restrictions from the database so
they will not be incorrectly loaded later.
TL-9264 Fixed a fatal error encountered in the Audience dialog for Program assignments
TL-10082 Fixed the display of description images in the 360° Feedback request selection list
TL-10871 Fixed duplicated error message displayed when creating Seminar sessions with multiple dates
TL-11062 Seminar events that are in progress are now shown under the upcoming sessions tab
Previously events that were in progress were being shown under the previous
events tab. This lead to them being easily lost, and after a UX review it
was decided that this was indeed the wrong place to put them and they were
moved back to the upcoming events until the event has been completed.
In the course view page, if "sign-up for multiple events" is disabled, then
users who are signed-up will see only the event where they are signed-up to
as they won't be able to sign-up for another event within that Seminar. If
"sign-up for multiple events" is enabled, then the signed-up users will see
all upcoming events ("in progress" and "upcoming" ones).
TL-11106 Fixed row duplication of Seminar events within the Seminar events report source
TL-11186 Changed user completion icons into font icons
TL-11230 Fixed disabled program course enrolments being re-enabled on cron
The clean_enrolment_plugins_task scheduled task now suspends and re-enables
user enrolments properly
TL-12252 Disabled selection dialogs for Hierarchy report filters when the filter is set to "is any value"
TL-12286 Corrected the table class used in Course administration > Competencies
TL-12298 Fixed RTL CSS flipping in Appraisals
Previously there were a number of anomalies when viewing appraisals in
right to left languages such as Hebrew. This fixes the CSS so that they are
now displayed correctly.
TL-12341 Removed unnecessary code to prevent page jump on click of action menu
Removed a forced jQuery repaint of the action menu which was originally
required to work around a Chrome display bug, but which is no longer
required.
TL-12342 Moved the block hide icon to the right in Roots and Basis themes
TL-12443 Fixed RTL CSS flipping in 360° Feedback
Previously there were a number of anomalies when viewing 360° feedback in
right to left languages such as Hebrew. This issue alters CSS so that they
are now displayed correctly.
TL-12445 Fixed completion recording for some SCORMs with deep navigation structure (3+ levels)
TL-12455 Backport TL-11198 - Added support for add-on report builder sources in column tests
Add-on developers may now add phpunit_column_test_add_data() and
phpunit_column_test_expected_count() methods to their report sources to
pass the full phpunit test suit with add-ons installed.
TL-12458 Fixed the visibility permissions for images in the event details field
TL-12463 Prevented the submission of text longer than 255 characters on Appraisal and 360° Feedback short text questions
TL-12464 Fixed a HTML validation issue on the user/preferences.php page
TL-12465 Fixed the display of multi-lang custom field names on the edit program and certification forms
TL-12585 Fixed a fatal error when trying to configure the Stats block without having staff
TL-12593 Fixed double escaping in the select and multiselect forms elements
TL-12596 Reverted change which caused potential HR Import performance cost
A change in TL-12262 made it likely that imported Positions and
Organisations in a Hierarchy framework would be processed multiple times,
rather than just once each. No data problems were caused, but the
additional database operations were unnecessary. That change has been
reverted.
TL-12603 Course reminders are no longer sent to unenrolled users
Email reminders for course feedback activities were previously being sent
to users who were unenrolled or whose enrolments had been suspended.
TL-12606 Fixed resending certification course set messages
The course set Due, Overdue and Completed messages were only being sent the
first time that they were triggered on each certification path. Now, they
will be triggered when appropriate on subsequent recertifications,
including after a user has expired.
TL-12616 Fixed the Certification window open transaction log entry
It was possible that the Certification window opening log entry was being
recorded out of order, could be recorded even if the window open function
did not complete successfully, and could contain incorrect data. These
problems have now been fixed by splitting the window open log entry into
two parts.
TL-12649 Fixed the rendering of Totara form errors when get_data() is not called
TL-12656 Remove incorrect quotations from mustache template strings
Quotations around template strings have been removed to avoid prevention of
key usage in string arrays.
TL-12680 Made the user menu hide languages when the "Display language menu" setting is disabled
API changes:
TL-10990 Ensured JS Flex Icon options are equivalent to PHP API
The core/templates function renderIcon may alternatively be called with two
parameters, the second being a custom data object.

Evergreen 20170125 (25th January 2017):
Security issues:
TL-10773 Added safeguards to protect user anonymity when providing feedback within 360 Feedback
TL-12322 Improved validation within the 360° Feedback request confirmation form
Previously, if a user manipulated the HTML of the form for confirming
requests for feedback in 360° Feedback, they could change emails to an
invalid format or, in some cases, alter requests they should not have
access to.
Additional validation following the submission of the confirmation form now
prevents this.
TL-12327 Added a setting to prevent the malicious deletion of files via the Completion Import tool
When adding completion records for courses and certifications via CSV, a
pathname can be specified instead of uploading a file. After the upload
occurs, the target file is deleted. Users with the capability to upload
completion records may have been able to delete other files aside from
those related to completion import. In some cases they were also being
shown the first line of the file. By default, only site managers have the
capability to upload completion records.
Additionally in order to exploit this the web server would need to have
been configured to permit read/write access on the targeted files.
There is now a new setting ($CFG->completionimportdir) for specifying how
the pathname must begin in order to add completion records with this
method. This setting can only be added via the config.php file. When a
directory is specified in this setting, files immediately within it, as
well as within its subdirectories, can be used for completion import.
If the setting is not added, completion imports can no longer be performed
via this method. They can still be performed by uploading a file using the
file picker.
TL-12411 MDL-56225: Removed unnecessary parameters when posting to a Forum
Previously it was possible to maliciously modify a forum post form
submission to fake the author of a forum post due to the presence of a
redundant input parameter and poor forum post submission handling.
The unused parameter has been removed and the post submission handling
improved.
TL-12412 MDL-57531: Improved email sender handling to prevent PHPMailer vulnerabilities from being exploited
TL-12413 MDL-57580: Improved type handling within the Assignment module
Previously loose type handling when submitting to an assignment activity
could potentially be exploited to perform XSS attacks, stricter type
handling has been implemented in order to remove this attack vector.
Improvements:
TL-2276 Added a User's authentication method column and filter to all Report Builder reports that present user information
TL-6535 Added "HR Import" as a column and filter to the user columns and filters in Reportbuilder
TL-8552 Added additional filters to the Program Overview report source
Program Status and Job assignment filters have been added to the Program
Overview report source
TL-8766 Added a goal description column and filter to the Goal Custom Fields report source
TL-9016 Added content restrictions to the Goal custom fields report source
Content restrictions for restricting records by management, organisation
and position have been added to the Goal custom fields report source.
TL-9211 Added related user filters to the Site logs report source
TL-10849 Improved the language strings used to describe Program and Certification exception types and actions
TL-11074 Added additional text to the manager and approver copies of original Seminar notifications
TL-11099 Added audience membership as a badge criteria
This improvement adds new criteria for site-level badges which allows an
administrator to award a badge based on membership of an audience / cohort.
TL-11174 Improved the display and listing of users assigned to an Appraisal
* The 'Learners' column on the Appraisal Management page has been changed
to 'Assigned' and now show the number of users assigned to the appraisal as
well as the number of users that have completed the assignment. For
'Closed' Appraisals, the number always equals completed
* The Assignments tab for a specific appraisal list the assigned learners
for appraisals in the Draft and Active state, but only lists the users that
completed the appraisal for Closed appraisals. The table headings reflects
what is shown.
* The reported number of assigned, completed and cancelled users shown in
the reports, as well as the status of the listed users now correlates
better to what is shown in the Management and Detail pages.
TL-11288 Improved the accessibility of course home page actions
Accessible text has been added to the following course actions:
* Inline editing of an activities summary
* Changing an activities group mode
TL-12261 Improved code exception validation in several unit tests
TL-12353 Improved program messaging performance
Bug fixes:
TL-10416 Fixed an error when answering appraisal competency questions as the manager's manager or appraiser
TL-10945 Prevented loops in management job assignments in HR Import
Previously, if a circular management assignment was imported, HR Import
would fail without sensible warning. Now, if a circular management is found
when importing a manager with HR Import, then one or more of the users
forming the circular reference will fail to have their manager assigned,
with a notice explaining why. When importing, as many manager assignments
as possible will be assigned.
TL-11150 Fixed an undefined property error in HR Import on the CSV configuration page
TL-11238 Fixed the Seminar name link column within the Seminar sessions report
TL-11270 Fixed Course Completion status not being set to "Not yet started" when removing RPL completions
Previously, when you removed RPL completion using the Course administration
-> Reports -> Course completion report, it would set the record to "In
progress", regardless of whether or not the user had actually done anything
that warranted being marked as such. If the user had already met the
criteria for completion, the record would not be updated until the
completion cron task next ran.
Now, the records will be set to "Not yet started". Reaggregation occurs
immediately, and may update the user to "In progress" or "Complete"
depending on their progress. Note that if a course is set to "Mark as In
Progress on first view" and the user had previously viewed the course but
made no other progress, then their status will still be "Not yet started"
after reaggregation.
TL-11316 Fixed an error when cloning an Appraisal containing aggregated questions
TL-12243 Fixed a Totara menu issue leading to incorrectly encoded ampersands
TL-12256 Prevented an incorrect redirect occurring when dismissing a notification from within a modal dialog
TL-12263 Fixed an issue with the display of assigned users within 360° Feedback
The assigned group information is no longer shown for 360° Feedback in the
Active or Closed state. In these states, the pages always reflect actual
assigned users.
TL-12277 Corrected an issue where redirects with a message did not have a page URL set
TL-12280 Fixed a bug preventing block weights being cloned when a dashboard is cloned
TL-12283 Fixed several issues on the waitlist page when Seminar approval type is changed
The waitlist page showed the wrong approval date (1 Jan 1970) and debug
messages when a seminar changed its approval type from no approval required
to manager approved.
TL-12284 Fixed an upgrade error due to an incorrectly unique index in the completion import tables on SQL Server
Previously, if a site running SQL Server had imported course or
certification completions, there could have been an error when trying to
upgrade to Totara 9. This has been fixed. Sites that had already
successfully upgraded will have the unique index replaced with a non-unique
equivalent.
TL-12287 Ensured Hierarchy 'ID number' field type is set as string in Excel and ODS format exports to avoid incorrect automatic type detection
TL-12297 Removed options from the Reportbuilder "message type" filter when the corresponding feature is disabled
TL-12299 Fixed an error on the search page when setting Program assignment relative due dates
TL-12301 Fixed the replacement of course links from placeholders in notifications when restoring a Seminar
Previously when a course URL was embedded in a seminar notification
template, it would be changed to a placeholder string when the seminar was
backed up. Restoring the seminar would not change the placeholder back to
the proper URL. This fix ensures it does.
TL-12303 Fixed the HTML formatting of Seminar notification templates for third-party emails
TL-12305 Fixed incorrect wording in Learning Plan help text
TL-12311 Fixed the "is after" criteria in the "Start date" filter within the Course report source
The "is after" start date filter criteria now correctly searching for
courses starting immediately after midnight in the users timezone.
TL-12315 Waitlist notifications are now sent when one message per date is enabled
If a Seminar event was created with no dates, people could still sign up
and be waitlisted.
However, they would only receive a sign up email if the "one message per
date" option was off.
Now, the system will send the notification regardless of this setting.
TL-12323 Removed references to the SCORM course format from course format help string
TL-12325 Fixed the Quick Links block to ensure it decodes URL entities correctly
TL-12333 Made improvements to the handling of invalid job assignment dates
TL-12337 Fixed the formatting of event details placeholder in Seminar notifications
TL-12339 Reverted removal of style causing regression in IE
TL-11341 applied a patch for a display issue in Chrome 55.
This caused a regression for users of Edge / IE browsers making it
difficult and in some cases impossible to click grouped form elements.
The Chrome rendering bug has since been addressed.
TL-12344 Fixed an error message when updating Competency scale values
TL-12352 Fixed a bug in the cache API when fetching multiple keys having specified MUST_EXIST
Previously when fetching multiple entries from a cache, if you specified
that the data must exist, in some circumstances the expected exception was
not being thrown.
Now if MUST_EXIST is provide to cache::get_many() an exception will be
thrown if one or more of the requested keys cannot be found.
TL-12369 Marked class totara_dialog_content_manager as deprecated
This class is no longer in use now that Totara has multiple job
assignments. Class totara_job_dialog_assign_manager should be used instead.
Miscellaneous Moodle fixes:
TL-12406 MDL-57100: Prevented javascript exceptions from being displayed during an AJAX request
TL-12407 MDL-56948: Fixed Assignment bug when viewing a submission with a grade type of "none"
TL-12408 MDL-57163: Improved the feedback given when trying to install without the curl extension installed
TL-12409 MDL-57170: Fixed fault in legacy Dropbox API usage
TL-12410 MDL-57193: Fixed external database authentication where more than 10000 users are imported

Evergreen 20161221 (21st December 2016):
Important:
TL-10980 Totara 10 can be upgraded from Totara 9 only
It is important to note that sites running on Totara 2.9 or earlier are
required to upgrade through Totara 9.
If you are intending to upgrade from Totara 2.9 to Totara 10 you must
upgrade to Totara 9 before upgrading to Totara 10.
TL-10994 Introduction of the Evergreen maturity
A new product maturity setting has been introduced, MATURITY_EVERGREEN.
This new maturity will be used only for Evergreen releases and should be
considered stable.
TL-11161 Removed Kiwifruit responsive theme
As Kiwifruit responsive has been deprecated previously, it has now been
removed.
If you wish to continue using Kiwifruit responsive (NOTE: it will no longer
be supported so there is a high likelyhood things will be broken), please
follow these steps (on top of a normal upgrade process):
1. Take a backup of theme/kiwifruitresponsive
2. Update the Totara code base (this will remove the kiwifruit responsive
theme
3. Restore theme/kiwifruitresponsive into it's original location
4. Run the Totara LMS upgrade script.
If step 4 is done before step 3, all settings that were in Kiwifruit
responsive will have been removed (and may need to be restored).
TL-11333 Fixes from Moodle 3.0.7 have been included in this release

This patch adds a new setting to the emails form on the program messages
tab. The new text field "manager subject" sits between the "send notice to
manager" checkbox and the "notice for manager" text area. This new setting
allows you to edit the subject line for managers receiving the email about
their staff member. If the field is left blank the message will continue to
use the old strings.

TL-9756 Removed an HTML table when viewing a plan that has been changed after approval

TL-10414 Ensured collapsable section header is no longer displayed when empty within Appraisals
TL-10670 Implemented position, organisation, job assignment and custom user profile field value sync in Totara Connect
Totara Sync can now be configured to synchronise Positions, Organisations,
Job Assignments, and custom user profile field values between connected LMS
instances.
Please be aware of the following limitations:
* Custom user profile field values will only be synced if the client site
has custom profile fields configured with short names that match exactly
those on the server.
* Positions, and Organisations items will only be synced if the client site
has a framework type with an idnumber matching exactly the type of the
position or organisation on the server.
TL-10833 Added two new settings to control the maximum width and height of graphs within the Report Graph block
There are two new settings for the Report Graph block:
* Max width
* Max height
These allow you to control the proportions of the graph that is displayed
by this block, ensuring that it is suitably sized for the location of your
block.
By default the graph will continue to consume the available space, as it
has done previously.
It should also be noted that the aspect ratio of the graph is maintained.
TL-10952 Links that should be styled as buttons now look like buttons in Basis & Roots themes
TL-10971 Improved Feedback activity export formatting
The following improvements were made to the exported responses for feedback
activities:
* Newlines in Long Text responses are no longer replaced with the html
tag
* The text wrap attribute is set for all response cells
* Long text, Short text and Information responses are no longer exported in bold
TL-11054 Only the available regions are shown when configuring a block's position on the current page
Previously, when configuring blocks, all possible regions were shown when
setting the region for a block on the current page. This setting now only
has the options that exist on the page
TL-11056 Added phpunit support for third party modules that use "coursecreator" role
TL-11075 Improved inline help for Seminar's "Manager and Administrative approval" option
TL-11117 Removed unused, redundant, legacy hierarchy code
TL-11121 Added new program completion criteria to site badges

phpunit_column_test_expected_count() methods to their report sources to
pass the full phpunit test suit with add-ons installed.
TL-11261 Converted folder and arrow icon in file form control to flex icons
TL-11273 Removed an unnecessary fieldset surrounding admin options

This also converts the image icon to a flex icon.
Bug fixes:
TL-4912 Fixed the missing archive completion option in course administration menu
TL-7666 Images used in hierarchy custom fields are now displayed correctly when viewing or reporting on the hierarchy
TL-9500 Fixed "View full report" link for embedded reports in the Report table block

TL-10101 Removed unnecessary permission checks when accessing hierarchies
TL-10744 Fixed footer navigation column stacking in the Roots and Basis themes
TL-10915 Ensured that courses are displayed correctly within the Current Learning block when added via a Certification
TL-10953 Fixed Learning Plans using the wrong program due date
Previously, given some unlikely circumstances, when viewing a program in a
learning plan, it was possible that the program due date could have been
displaying the due date for one of the course sets instead.
TL-11000 When calculating the Aggregate rating for appraisal questions, not answered questions and zero values may now be included in aggregate calculations
Two new settings have been added to Aggregate rating questions within
Appraisals.
These can be used in new aggregate rating questions to indicate how the
system must handle unanswered questions, as well as questions resulting in
a zero score during the calculations.
TL-11063 Fixed a PHP error in the quiz results statistics processing when a multiple choice answer has been deleted
TL-11072 Administrative approver can do final approval of seminar bookings in two stage approvals prior to manager
TL-11076 Fixed the display of the attendee name for Seminar approval requests in the Task/Alert report
TL-11110 Added validation warning when creating management loops in job assignments
Previously, if you tried to assign a manger which would result in a
circular management structure, it would fail and show an error message. Now
it shows a validation warning explaining the problem.
TL-11124 Treeview controls in dialogs now display correctly in RTL languages
TL-11126 Fixed HR Import data validation being skipped in some circumstances
If the source was an external database, and the first record in the import
contained a null, then the data validation checks on that column were being
skipped. This has been fixed, and the data validation checks are now fully
covered by automated tests.
TL-11129 Fixed url parameters not being added in pagination for the enrolled audience search dialog
TL-11130 Fixed how backup and restore encodes and decodes links in all modules
TL-11137 Courses, programs and certifications will always show in the Record of Learning if the user has made progress or completed the item
The record of learning is intended to list what the user has achieved.
Previously, if a user had completed an item of learning, this may sometimes
have been excluded due to visibility settings (although not in all cases
with standard visibility). The effect of audience visibility settings and
available to/from dates have been made consistent with that of standard
visibility. The following are now show on their applicable Record of
Learning embedded reports, regardless of enrolment status and current
visibility of the item elsewhere.
Courses: Any course where a user's status is greater than 'Not yet
started'. This includes 'In-progress' and 'Complete'.
Programs: Any program where the user's status is greater than 'Incomplete'.
In existing Totara code, this will only be complete programs. This applies
to the status of the program only and does not take into account program
course sets. If just a course set were complete, and not the program, the
program would not show on the Record of Learning if it should not otherwise
be visible.
Certifications: Any certification where the user's status is greater than
'Newly assigned'. This includes 'In-progress', 'Certified' and 'Expired'.
TL-11139 Fixed report builder access permissions for the authenticated user role
The authenticated user role was missed out when a report's access
restriction was "user role in any context" - even if this role was ticked
on the form. The fix now accounts for the authenticated user.
TL-11148 Fixed suspended course enrolments not reactivating during user program reassignment
TL-11191 Ensured the calendar block controls are displayed correctly in RTL languages
TL-11200 Fixed the program enrolment plugin which was not working for certifications when programs had been disabled
TL-11203 Allowed access to courses via completed programs consistently
Previously if a user was complete with a due date they could not access any
courses added to the program after completion, but users without a due date
could access the new courses. Now any user with a valid program assignment
can access the courses regardless of their completion state.
TL-11208 Fixed unnecessary comma appearing after user's name in Seminar attendee picker
When only "ID Number" is selected in the showuseridentity setting and a
user does not have an ID number an extra comma was displayed after the
user's name in the user picker when adding / removing Seminar attendees.
TL-11209 Fixed errors in some reports when using report caching and audience visibility
TL-11213 Fixed undefined index warnings while updating a Seminar event without dates
TL-11216 Fixed incorrect use of userid when logging a program view from required learning
TL-11217 Flex icons now use the title attribute correctly
TL-11237 Deleting unconfirmed users no longer deletes the user record
Previously when unconfirmed users were deleted by cron the user record was
deleted from the database immediately after the standard deletion routines
were run.
Because it is possible to include unconfirmed users in dynamic audiences
they could end up with traces in the database which may not be cleaned up
by the standard deletion routines.
The deletion of the user record would then lead to these traces becoming
orphaned.
This behaviour has been changed to ensure that the user record is never
deleted from the database, and that user deletion always equates to the
user record being marked as deleted instead.
TL-11239 Fixed type handling within the role_assign_bulk function leading to users not being assigned in some situations
TL-11246 Added default sort order of attendees on the Seminar sign-in sheet
The sort order was the order in which the attendees was added. This patch
adds a default sort order to the embedded report so that users are listed
in alphabetical order. Note: for existing sites the sign-in sheet embedded
report will need to be reset on the manage reports page (doing this will
reset any customisations to this report)
TL-11263 Loosened cleaning on Program and Certification summary field making it consistent with course summary
TL-11272 Fixed inaccessible files when viewing locked appraisal questions
TL-11309 HR Import now converts mixed case usernames to lower case
Now when you import a username with mixed case you will receive a warning,
the username will be converted to lower case and the user will be
imported.
This patch brings the behaviour in Totara 9 in line with Totara 2.9.
TL-11329 Fixed program course sets being marked complete due to ignoring "Minimum score"
When a program or certification course set was set to "Some courses" and
"0", the "Minimum score" was being ignored. Even if a "Minimum score" was
set and was not reached, the course set was being marked complete. Now, if
a "Minimum score" is set, users will be required to reach that score before
the course set is marked complete, in combination with completing the
required number of courses.
If your site has a program or certification configured in this way, and you
find users who have been incorrectly marked complete, you can use the
program or certification completion editor to change the records back to
"Incomplete" or "Certified, window is open". You should then wait for the
"Program completions" scheduled task (runs daily by default) to calculate
which stage of the program the user should be at.
TL-11331 Fixed HTML and multi language support for general and embedded reports
TL-11341 Fixed report builder filter display issue in chrome 55
Previously there was a CSS statement adding a float to a legend which
appears to be ignored by most browsers. With the release of chrome 55, this
style was being interpreted.
TL-12244 Fixed 'Allow extension request' setting not being saved when adding programs and certifications
TL-12246 Fixed MSSQL query for Course Completion Archive page
TL-12248 Fixed layout of Totara forms when using RTL languages
API changes:
TL-8423 Changed course completion to only trigger processing of related programs
Previously, course completion caused completion of all of a user's programs
and certifications to be re-processed. Now, only programs which contain
that course are processed.
TL-10649 core/block template now uses the same variable for the skip block link
TL-11225 \totara_form\model::get_current_data(null) now returns all current form data
