(See block_manager::load_blocks().)
| stdClass | $instance | data from block_insances, block_positions, etc. |
| moodle_page | $page | the page this block is on. |
|
inherited |
Tests if this block has been implemented correctly.
Also, $errors isn't used right now
| boolean |
| block_accessreview::applicable_formats | ( | ) |
|
inherited |
Function that can be overridden to do extra cleanup before the database tables are deleted.
(Called once per block, not per instance!)
Reimplemented in block_myprofile.
| block_accessreview::can_block_be_added | ( | moodle_page | $page | ) |
This block shouldn't be added to a page if the accessibility tools setting is disabled.
| moodle_page | $page |
| bool |
Reimplemented from block_base.
|
inherited |
Default behavior: save all variables as $CFG properties You don't need to override this if you 're satisfied with the above.
|
protectedinherited |
Convert the contents of the block to HTML.
This is used by block base classes like block_list to convert the structured $this->content->list and $this->content->icons arrays to HTML. So, in most blocks, you probaby want to override the get_contents() method, which generates that structured representation of the contents.
| $output | The core_renderer to use when generating the output. |
| string | the HTML that should appearn in the body of the block. |
Reimplemented in block_list, and block_tree.
|
inherited |
Returns the aria role attribute that best describes this block.
Region is the default, but this should be overridden by a block is there is a region child, or even better a landmark child.
Options are as follows:
| string |
Reimplemented in block_activity_modules, block_admin_bookmarks, block_blog_menu, block_course_list, block_navigation, block_search_forums, and block_settings.
|
inherited |
Return the plugin config settings for external functions.
In some cases the configs will need formatting or be returned only if the current user has some capabilities enabled.
| stdClass | the configs for both the block instance and plugin (as object with name -> value) |

| block_accessreview::get_content | ( | ) |
|
inherited |
Return an object containing all the block content to be returned by external functions.
If your block is returning formatted content or provide files for download, you should override this method to use the core_external\util\format_text, core_external\utilformat_string functions for formatting or external_util\get_area_files for files.
| core_renderer | $output | the rendered used for output |
| stdClass | object containing the block title, central content, footer and linked files (if any). |
Reimplemented in block_html.
|
inherited |
Return a block_contents object representing the full contents of this block.
This internally calls ->get_content(), and then adds the editing controls etc.
You probably should not override this method, but instead override html_attributes(), formatted_contents() or get_content(), hide_header(), (get_edit_controls), etc.
| block_contents | a representation of the block, for rendering. |
|
inherited |
Returns the class $content_type var value.
Intentionally doesn't check if content_type is set. This is already done in _self_test()

protected |
Fetches and groups the relevent error data for the table to display.

inherited |
Default return is false - header will be shown.
| boolean |

|
inherited |
Return any HTML attributes that you want added to the outer.
function html_attributes() { $attributes = parent\html_attributes(); $attributes['class'] .= ' mynewclass'; return $attributes; } | array | attribute name => value. |
Reimplemented in block_html, block_list, and block_navigation.
|
inherited |
Is each block of this type going to have instance-specific configuration? Normally, this setting is controlled by instance_allow_multiple(): if multiple instances are allowed, then each will surely need its own configuration.
However, in some cases it may be necessary to provide instance configuration to blocks that do not want to allow multiple instances. In that case, make this function return true. I stress again that this makes a difference ONLY if instance_allow_multiple() returns false.
| boolean |
Reimplemented in block_badges, block_blog_menu, block_blog_recent, block_blog_tags, block_myprofile, block_navigation, block_rss_client, block_section_links, block_settings, and block_tags.

Allows the block class to have a say in the user's ability to create new instances of this block.
The framework has first say in whether this will be allowed (e.g., no adding allowed unless in edit mode) but if the framework does allow it, the block can still decide to refuse. This function has access to the complete page object, the creation related to which is being determined.
