◆ get_page_images_for_attempt()

static assignfeedback_editpdf\document_services::get_page_images_for_attempt ( $assignment,
$userid,
$attemptnumber,
$readonly = false )
static

This function returns a list of the page images from a pdf.

The readonly version is different than the normal one. The readonly version contains a copy of the pages in the state they were when the PDF was annotated, by doing so we prevent the the pages that are displayed to change as soon as the submission changes.

Though there is an edge case, if the PDF was annotated before MDL-45580, then it is possible that we do not find any readonly version of the pages. In that case, we will get the normal pages and copy them to the readonly area. This ensures that the pages will remain in that state until the submission is updated. When the normal files do not exist, we throw an exception because the readonly pages should only ever be displayed after a teacher has annotated the PDF, they would not exist until they do.

Parameters
int | assign$assignment
int$userid
int$attemptnumber(-1 means latest attempt)
bool$readonlyIf true, then we are requesting the readonly version.
Return values
array(stored_file)
