Bug fixes:
TL-21837 Ensured the category is passed correctly when creating courses from GO1 content marketplace
TL-22965 Fixed a sequencing issue that was leading to seminar attendees being incorrectly booked despite the 'waitlist everyone' setting having being enabled for the event
TL-23605 Fixed sorting of score columns in the SCORM report source
The score columns in the SCORM report source were not sorting correctly
because the data type of the column in the database was not numeric. These
fields are now cast to the correct type ensuring sorting works as expected.
TL-23661 Fixed the alignment of the 'Share' flyout within the catalogue when using IE11
TL-23969 + Uploading seminar attendance records now correctly prevents changes to attendance status for archived attendees
TL-24184 Fixed debugging warnings when attempting to view archived feedback activities
TL-24186 Ensured course upload works correctly when the default site format for courses is the singleactivity course format
TL-24211 Ensured that the custom message is included emails sent when bulk rejecting signups through the self registration with approval auth plugin
TL-24237 Fixed generation of user profile links in seminar administration screens and reports
Prior to this patch, user profile links were added to seminar attendee's
names, even when the user viewing the screen or report could not view the
profile. Additionally, course profiles were used when the user was not yet
enrolled, or no longer enrolled, in the course. Clicking any of these
profile links resulted in an error.
With this patch, seminar attendees names are only linked if the current
user can actually view the profile.
TL-24238 The progress bar within the lesson module now correctly uses the theme defined colour palette
TL-24242 Fixed the display of the user's fullname column within the "Seminar Interest" report source
TL-24245 Fixed an error occurring when attempting to add a user tour to a course enrolments page
TL-24257 Fixed a performance regression on the reports page that was introduced in 12.11
The regression was introduced in TL-22260 when we added new options to
control export formats of the scheduled reports. This has now been fixed.
TL-24294 Fixed a missing include when a user attempted to export calendar events
TL-24310 Fixed the display of the user's fullname column in report sources overriding the user display class
TL-24314 Fixed an issue preventing some sitewide seminar events from display as expected within the calendar
TL-24320 Navigation no longer appears above course details view in grid catalogue when viewed on mobile screens
This will require CSS to be regenerated for themes that use LESS
inheritance.
TL-24403 Fixed the language string in Seminar activity module
The language string "mod_facetoface/signupforthissession" has
been changed to include a hyperlink in August 2019 release.
This change has been reverted to use a new language string
"signupforthissessionlink" instead.
If you have customised the language string, please review the changes.
TL-24456 Fixed the display of the last sent message within the messaging interface
TL-24479 Fixed 'Date started' and 'Date assigned' filters in the certification completion report
Previously the 'Date assigned' filter was mis-labelled and filtered records
based on the 'Date started' column. This filter has now been renamed to
'Date started' to correctly reflect the column name. A new 'Date assigned'
filter has been added to filter based on the 'Date assigned' column.
TL-24508 Tidied up Redis cache store settings
API changes:
TL-24120 + Added a String.fromCodePoint polyfill in JavaScript for IE 11
TL-24287 Fixed phpunit test failures when custom modules are installed
TL-24363 Moved the job_assignment_deleted event trigger outside database transaction in delete job assignment function
TL-24382 Behat library versions were hardcoded in order to prevent future compatibility problems
