This functions also handles removing conflicting and less specific formats at the same time.

Parameters

string

$format

one of PORTFOLIO_FORMAT_XX

Return values

void

base_supported_formats()

static data_portfolio_caller::base_supported_formats ( )

static

base supported formats before we know anything about the export

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

check_permissions()

data_portfolio_caller::check_permissions

(

)

Verify the user can still export this entry.

Return values

bool

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

display_name()

static data_portfolio_caller::display_name ( )

static

Return values

string

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

expected_callbackargs()

static

the required callback arguments for a single-record export

Return values

array

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

expected_time()

data_portfolio_caller::expected_time

(

)

How long we think the export will take Single entry is probably not too long.

But we check for filesizes Else base it on the number of records

Return values

one	of PORTFOLIO_TIME_XX constants

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

expected_time_file()

portfolio_caller_base::expected_time_file ( )

inherited

Helper method to calculate expected time for multi or single file exports.

Return values

string

file time expectation

export_config_form()

data_portfolio_caller::export_config_form	(	&	$mform,
			$instance )

If this caller wants any additional config items, they should be defined here.

Parameters

moodleform	$mform	passed by reference, add elements to it.
portfolio_plugin_base	$instance	subclass of portfolio_plugin_base

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

export_config_validation()

portfolio_caller_base::export_config_validation ( $data )

inherited

Just like the moodle form validation function, this is passed in the data array from the form and if a non empty array is returned, form processing will stop.

Parameters

array

$data

data from form.

formats()

static data_portfolio_caller::formats ( $fields, $record )

static

Given the fields being exported, and the single record, work out which export format(s) we can use.

Parameters

array	$fields	array of field objects
object	$record	The data record object

@uses PORTFOLIO_FORMAT_PLAINHTML @uses PORTFOLIO_FORMAT_RICHHTML

Return values

array

of PORTFOLIO_XX constants

get()

portfolio_module_caller_base::get ( $key )

inherited

Override the parent get function to make sure when we're asked for a course, We retrieve the object from the database as needed.

Parameters

string

$key

Return values

stdClass

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

get_allowed_export_config()

data_portfolio_caller::get_allowed_export_config

(

)

Similar to the other allowed_config functions if you need export config, you must provide a list of what the fields are.

Even if you want to store stuff during export without displaying a form to the user, you can use this.

Return values

array

array of allowed keys

Reimplemented from portfolio_caller_base.

get_export_config()

portfolio_caller_base::get_export_config ( $key )

finalinherited

Returns a particular export config value.
