Member Function Documentation

create_content()

testing_module_generator::create_content ( $instance, $record = array() )

inherited

Generates a piece of content for the module.

User is usually taken from global $USER variable.

Parameters

stdClass	$instance	object returned from create_instance() call
stdClass | array	$record

Return values

stdClass

generated object

Exceptions

coding_exception

if function is not implemented by module

Reimplemented in mod_book_generator, mod_forum_generator, mod_h5pactivity_generator, mod_lesson_generator, and mod_wiki_generator.

create_instance()

mod_resource_generator::create_instance	(		$record = null,
		array	$options = null )

Creates new resource module instance.

By default it contains a short text file.

Parameters

array | stdClass	$record	data for module being generated. Requires 'course' key (an id or the full object). Also can have any fields from add module form, and a 'defaultfilename' to set the name of the file created if no draft ID is supplied.
null | array	$options	general options for course module. Since 2.6 it is possible to omit this argument by merging options into $record

Return values

stdClass

record from module-defined table with additional field cmid (corresponding id in course_modules table)

Reimplemented from testing_module_generator.

get_modulename()

testing_module_generator::get_modulename ( )

inherited

Returns module name.

Return values

string

name of module that this class describes

Exceptions

coding_exception

if class invalid

insert_files()

component_generator_base::insert_files ( stdClass $instance, stdClass $record, string $table, context $context, string $component, string $filearea, int $targetitemid )

protectedinherited

Update the instance record, inserting any files that are referenced.

Parameters

stdClass	$instance	The instance record of the already-created record
stdClass	$record	The data passed in to create the instance
string	$table	The table that the data exists in
context	$context	The context of the instance
string	$component	The component of the owning plugin
string	$filearea	The name of the file area
int	$targetitemid	The itemid to use when saving the files

Return values

stdClass

The updated instance record

post_add_instance()

testing_module_generator::post_add_instance ( $id, $cmid )

protectedinherited

Called after *_add_instance()

Since 2.6 it is recommended to use function add_moduleinfo() to create a module.

Deprecated

since 2.6

See also

testing_module_generator\create_instance()

Parameters

int	$id
int	$cmid

Return values

stdClass

module instance

precreate_course_module()

testing_module_generator::precreate_course_module ( $courseid, array $options )

protectedinherited

Create course module and link it to course.

Since 2.6 it is recommended to use function add_moduleinfo() to create a module.

Deprecated

since 2.6

See also

testing_module_generator\create_instance()

Parameters

integer	$courseid
array	$options	section, visible

Return values

integer\$cm

instance id

prepare_moduleinfo_record()

testing_module_generator::prepare_moduleinfo_record ( $record, $options )

protectedinherited

Merges together arguments $record and $options and fills default module fields that are shared by all module types.

Parameters

object | array	$record	fields (different from defaults) for this module
null | array	$options	for backward-compatibility this may include fields from course_modules table. They are merged into $record

Exceptions

coding_exception

if $record->course is not specified

reset()

testing_module_generator::reset ( )

inherited

To be called from data reset code only, do not use in tests.

Return values

void

Reimplemented from component_generator_base.

Reimplemented in mod_book_generator, mod_chat_generator, mod_data_generator, mod_forum_generator, mod_glossary_generator, mod_lesson_generator, mod_survey_generator, and mod_wiki_generator.

set_user()

component_generator_base::set_user ( ?stdClass $user = null )

protectedinherited

Set the current user during data generation.

This should be avoided wherever possible, but in some situations underlying code will insert data as the current user.

Parameters

stdClass

$user
