Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __construct()

grade_object::__construct ( $params = NULL,
$fetch = true )

Constructor.

Optionally (and by default) attempts to fetch corresponding row from the database

Parameters
array$paramsAn array with required parameters for this grade object.
bool$fetchWhether to fetch corresponding row from the database or not, optional fields might not be defined if false used

Reimplemented in grade_item.

Member Function Documentation

grade_object::add_feedback_files ( int $historyid = null)
protected

Handles adding feedback files in the gradebook.

Parameters
int | null$historyid

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ can_control_visibility()

grade_object::can_control_visibility ( )

Returns whether the grade object can control the visibility of the grades.

Return values
bool

Reimplemented in grade_item.

◆ delete()

grade_object::delete ( $source = null)

Deletes this object from the database.

Parameters
string$sourceFrom where was the object deleted (mod/forum, manual, etc.)
Return values
boolsuccess

Reimplemented in grade_category, grade_grade, grade_item, grade_outcome, and grade_scale.

◆ delete_feedback_files()

grade_object::delete_feedback_files ( )
protected

Handles deleting feedback files in the gradebook.

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ fetch()

static grade_object::fetch ( $params)
static

Finds and returns a grade_object instance based on params.

@abstract

Parameters
array$paramsassociative arrays varname=>value
Return values
objectgrade_object instance or false if none found.

Reimplemented in grade_category, grade_grade, grade_item, grade_outcome, and grade_scale.

◆ fetch_all()

static grade_object::fetch_all ( $params)
static

Finds and returns all grade_object instances based on $params.

@abstract

Exceptions
coding_exceptionThrows a coding exception if fetch_all() has not been overriden by the grade object subclass
Parameters
array$paramsAssociative arrays varname=>value
Return values
array|boolArray of grade_object instances or false if none found.

Reimplemented in grade_category, grade_grade, grade_item, grade_outcome, and grade_scale.

◆ fetch_all_helper()

static grade_object::fetch_all_helper ( $table,
$classname,
$params )
static

Factory method which uses the parameters to retrieve all matching instances from the database.

Parameters
string$tableThe table to retrieve from
string$classnameThe name of the class to instantiate
array$paramsAn array of conditions like $fieldname => $fieldvalue
Return values
array|boolArray of object instances or false if not found

◆ fetch_helper()

static grade_object::fetch_helper ( $table,
$classname,
$params )
staticprotected

Factory method which uses the parameters to retrieve matching instances from the database.

Parameters
string$tableThe table to retrieve from
string$classnameThe name of the class to instantiate
array$paramsAn array of conditions like $fieldname => $fieldvalue
Return values
mixedAn object instance or false if not found

◆ get_hidden()

grade_object::get_hidden ( )

Check a grade item hidden status.

Return values
int0 means visible, 1 hidden always, a timestamp means "hidden until"

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ get_record_data()

grade_object::get_record_data ( )

Returns object with fields and values that are defined in database.

Return values
stdClass

◆ insert()

grade_object::insert ( $source = null,
$isbulkupdate = false )

Records this object in the Database, sets its id to the returned value, and returns that value.

If successful this function also fetches the new object data from database and stores it in object properties.

Parameters
string$sourceFrom where was the object inserted (mod/forum, manual, etc.)
string$isbulkupdateIf bulk grade update is happening.
Return values
intThe new grade object ID if successful, false otherwise

Reimplemented in grade_category, grade_item, grade_outcome, and grade_scale.

◆ is_hidden()

grade_object::is_hidden ( )

Returns the current hidden state of this grade_item.

This depends on the grade object hidden setting and the current time if hidden is set to a "hidden until" timestamp

Return values
boolCurrent hidden state

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ is_hiddenuntil()

grade_object::is_hiddenuntil ( )

Check grade object hidden status.

Return values
boolTrue if a "hidden until" timestamp is set, false if grade object is set to always visible or always hidden.

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ load_optional_fields()

grade_object::load_optional_fields ( )

Makes sure all the optional fields are loaded.

If id present, meaning the instance exists in the database, then data will be fetched from the database. Defaults are used for new instances.

◆ notify_changed()

grade_object::notify_changed ( $deleted)
protected

Called immediately after the object data has been inserted, updated, or deleted in the database.

Default does nothing, can be overridden to hook in special behaviour.

Parameters
bool$deleted

Reimplemented in grade_category, and grade_item.

◆ set_hidden()

grade_object::set_hidden ( $hidden,
$cascade = false )

Set a grade object hidden status.

Parameters
int$hidden0 means visiable, 1 means hidden always, a timestamp means "hidden until"
bool$cascadeIgnored

Reimplemented in grade_category, grade_grade, and grade_item.

◆ set_properties()

static grade_object::set_properties ( & $instance,
$params )
static

Given an associated array or object, cycles through each key/variable and assigns the value to the corresponding variable in this object.

Parameters
grade_object$instanceThe object to set the properties on
array$paramsAn array of properties to set like $propertyname => $propertyvalue
Return values
array|stdClassEither an associative array or an object containing property name, property value pairs

Reimplemented in grade_category.

◆ update()

grade_object::update ( $source = null,
$isbulkupdate = false )

Updates this object in the Database, based on its object variables.

ID must be set.

Parameters
string$sourcefrom where was the object updated (mod/forum, manual, etc.)
bool$isbulkupdateIf bulk grade update is happening.
Return values
boolsuccess

Reimplemented in grade_category, grade_grade, grade_item, grade_outcome, and grade_scale.

◆ update_feedback_files()

grade_object::update_feedback_files ( int $historyid = null)
protected

Handles updating feedback files in the gradebook.

Parameters
int | null$historyid

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ update_from_db()

grade_object::update_from_db ( )

Using this object's id field, fetches the matching record in the DB, and looks at each variable in turn.

If the DB has different data, the db's data is used to update the object. This is different from the update() function, which acts on the DB record based on the object.

Return values
boolTrue if successful
