get_context_restriction_sql()

core_search\base_mod::get_context_restriction_sql ( ?\context $context, $modname, $modtable, $paramtype = SQL_PARAMS_QM )

protectedinherited

Helper function that gets SQL useful for restricting a search query given a passed-in context.

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 the activity within this context (e.g. it is a block 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.

Parameters

context | null	$context	Context to restrict the query
string	$modname	Name of module e.g. 'forum'
string	$modtable	Alias of table containing module id
int	$paramtype	Type of SQL parameters to use (default question mark)

Return values

array

Array with SQL and parameters; both null if no need to query

Exceptions

coding_exception

If called with invalid params

int

get_module_name()

get_recordset_by_timestamp()

core_search\base::get_recordset_by_timestamp ( $modifiedfrom = 0 )

inherited

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.

Parameters

int

$modifiedfrom

Return values

moodle_recordset

get_search_fileareas()

mod_forum\search\post::get_search_fileareas

(

)

Return the context info required to index files for this search area.

Return values

array

Reimplemented from core_search\base.

get_settingnames()

static core_search\base::get_settingnames ( )

staticinherited

Return a list of all required setting names.

Return values

array

get_visible_name()

core_search\base::get_visible_name ( $lazyload = false )

inherited

Returns the area visible name.

Parameters

bool

$lazyload

Usually false, unless when in admin settings.

Return values

string

is_enabled()

core_search\base::is_enabled ( )

inherited

Is the search component enabled by the system administrator?

Return values

bool

restrict_cm_access_by_group()

core_search\base_mod::restrict_cm_access_by_group ( \cm_info $cm )

inherited

Checks whether the content of this search area should be restricted by group for a specific module.

Called at query time.

The default behaviour simply checks if the effective group mode is SEPARATEGROUPS, which is probably correct for most cases.

If restricted by group, the search query will (where supported by the engine) filter out results for groups the user does not belong to, unless the user has 'access all groups' for the activity. This affects only documents which set the 'groupid' field; results with no groupid will not be restricted.

Even if you return true to this function, you may still need to do group access checks in check_access, because the search engine may not support group restrictions.

Parameters

cm_info

$cm

Return values

bool	True to restrict by group

supports_get_document_recordset()

core_search\base::supports_get_document_recordset ( )

inherited

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.

supports_group_restriction()

mod_forum\search\post::supports_group_restriction

(

)

Confirms that data entries support group restrictions.

Return values

bool

True

Reimplemented from core_search\base_mod.

uses_file_indexing()

mod_forum\search\post::uses_file_indexing

(

)

Returns true if this area uses file indexing.

Return values

bool

Reimplemented from core_search\base.

Member Data Documentation

$levels

array core_search\base_mod::$levels = [CONTEXT_MODULE]
