Member Function Documentation

◆ antivir_scan_file()

static repository::antivir_scan_file	(	$thefile,
		$filename,
		$deleteinfected )

static

Scan file, throws exception in case of infected file.

Please note that the scanning engine must be able to access the file, permissions of the file are not modified here!

Deprecated: since Moodle 3.0

Parameters

string	$filename	name of the file
bool	$deleteinfected

◆ append_suffix()

static repository::append_suffix ( $filename )

static

Append a suffix to filename.

Parameters

Return values

string

Deprecated: since 2.5

◆ build_source_field()

static repository::build_source_field ( $source )

static

Build draft file's source field.

file_restore_source_field_from_draft_file() XXX: This is a hack for file manager (MDL-28666) For newly created draft files we have to construct source filed in php serialized data format. File manager needs to know the original file information before copying to draft area, so we append these information in mdl_files.source field

Parameters

string $source

Return values

string serialised source field

◆ build_tree()

static repository::build_tree	(		$fileinfo,
			$search,
			$dynamicmode,
		&	$list )

static

Builds a tree of files This function is then called recursively.

Todo: take $search into account, and respect a threshold for dynamic loading

Parameters

file_info	$fileinfo	an object returned by file_browser\get_file_info()
string	$search	searched string
bool	$dynamicmode	no recursive call is done when in dynamic mode
array	$list	the array containing the files under the passed $fileinfo

Return values

int	the number of files found

◆ cache_file_by_reference()

repository::cache_file_by_reference	(		$reference,
			$storedfile )

Cache file from external repository by reference repository::get_file_reference() repository::get_file() Invoked at MOODLE/repository/repository_ajax.php.

Parameters

string	$reference	this reference is generated by repository\get_file_reference()
stored_file	$storedfile	created file reference

Reimplemented in repository_dropbox.

◆ callback()

repository::callback ( )

For oauth like external authentication, when external repository direct user back to moodle, this function will be called to set up token and token_secret.

Reimplemented in repository_dropbox, repository_flickr, repository_nextcloud, and repository_onedrive.

◆ can_be_edited_by_user()

repository::can_be_edited_by_user ( )

final

Can the instance be edited by the current user?

The property $readonly must not be used within this method because it only controls if the options from self\get_instance_option_names() can be edited.

Return values

bool	true if the user can edit the instance.

Since: Moodle 2.5

◆ check_capability()

repository::check_capability ( )

final

Checks if user has a capability to view the current repository.

Return values

bool	true when the user can, otherwise throws an exception.

Exceptions

repository_exception when the user does not meet the requirements.

◆ check_login()

repository::check_login ( )

To check whether the user is logged in.

Return values

bool

Reimplemented in repository_dropbox, repository_filesystem, repository_flickr, repository_flickr_public, repository_merlot, repository_nextcloud, repository_onedrive, repository_s3, repository_url, repository_webdav, repository_wikimedia, and repository_youtube.

◆ contains_private_data()

repository::contains_private_data ( )

Is this repository accessing private data?

This function should return true for the repositories which access external private data from a user. This is the case for repositories such as Dropbox, Google Docs or Box.net which authenticate the user and then store the auth token.

Of course, many repositories store 'private data', but we only want to set contains_private_data() to repositories which are external to Moodle and shouldn't be accessed to by the users having the capability to 'login as' someone else. For instance, the repository 'Private files' is not considered as private because it's part of Moodle.

You should not set contains_private_data() to true on repositories which allow different types of instances as the levels other than 'user' are, by definition, not private. Also the user instances will be protected when they need to.

Return values

boolean True when the repository accesses private external data.

Since: Moodle 2.5

Reimplemented in repository_contentbank, repository_coursefiles, repository_equella, repository_filesystem, repository_flickr_public, repository_local, repository_merlot, repository_recent, repository_s3, repository_upload, repository_url, repository_user, repository_webdav, repository_wikimedia, and repository_youtube.

◆ copy_to_area()

repository::copy_to_area	(	$source,
		$filerecord,
		$maxbytes = -1,
		$areamaxbytes = FILE_AREA_MAX_BYTES_UNLIMITED )

This function is used to copy a moodle file to draft area.

It DOES NOT check if the user is allowed to access this file because the actual file can be located in the area where user does not have access to but there is an alias to this file in the area where user CAN access it. file_is_accessible should be called for alias location before calling this function.

Parameters

string	$source	The metainfo of file, it is base64 encoded php serialized data
stdClass \| array	$filerecord	contains itemid, filepath, filename and optionally other attributes of the new file
int	$maxbytes	maximum allowed size of file, -1 if unlimited. If size of file exceeds the limit, the file_exception is thrown.

Return values

array The information about the created file

This function is invoked when we try to unlink the file from the source and convert a reference into a true copy.

Exceptions

exception when file could not be imported

Parameters

stored_file	$file
int	$maxbytes	throw an exception if file size is bigger than $maxbytes (0 means no limit)

return a new reference string pointing to the newly copied file.

◆ sync_external_file()

static

Function repository\sync_external_file() is deprecated.

Deprecated: since Moodle 2.6 MDL-42016 - please do not use this function any more.

See also: repository\sync_reference()

◆ sync_reference()

repository::sync_reference ( stored_file $file )

Performs synchronisation of an external file if the previous one has expired.

This function must be implemented for external repositories supporting FILE_REFERENCE, it is called for existing aliases when their filesize, contenthash or timemodified are requested. It is not called for internal repositories (see repository::has_moodle_files()), references to internal files are updated immediately when source is modified.

Referenced files may optionally keep their content in Moodle filepool (for thumbnail generation or to be able to serve cached copy). In this case both contenthash and filesize need to be synchronized. Otherwise repositories should use contenthash of empty file and correct filesize in bytes.

Note that this function may be run for EACH file that needs to be synchronised at the moment. If anything is being downloaded or requested from external sources there should be a small timeout. The synchronisation is performed to update the size of the file and/or to update image and re-generated image preview. There is nothing fatal if syncronisation fails but it is fatal if syncronisation takes too long and hangs the script generating a page.

Note: If you wish to call $file->get_filesize(), $file->get_contenthash() or $file->get_timemodified() make sure that recursion does not happen.

Called from stored_file::sync_external_file()

@uses stored_file\set_missingsource() @uses stored_file\set_synchronized()

Parameters

stored_file $file

Return values

bool	false when file does not need synchronisation, true if it was synchronised

◆ update_draftfile()

static repository::update_draftfile	(	$draftid,
		$filepath,
		$filename,
		$updatedata )

static

Updates a file in draft filearea.

This function can only update fields filepath, filename, author, license. If anything (except filepath) is updated, timemodified is set to current time. If filename or filepath is updated the file unconnects from it's origin and therefore all references to it will be converted to copies when filearea is saved.

string	$filepath	path to the directory containing the file, or full path in case of directory
string	$filename	name of the file, or '.' in case of directory
array	$updatedata	array of fields to change (only filename, filepath, license and/or author can be updated)
