Member Function Documentation

get_components_and_fileareas()

static backup_qtype_plugin::get_components_and_fileareas ( $filter = null )

staticinherited

Returns all the components and fileareas used by all the installed qtypes.

The method introspects each qtype, asking it about fileareas used. Then, one 2-level array is returned. 1st level is the component name (qtype_xxxx) and 2nd level is one array of filearea => mappings to look

Note that this function is used both in backup and restore, so it is important to use the same mapping names (usually, name of the table in singular) always

TODO: Surely this can be promoted to backup_plugin easily and make it to work for ANY plugin, not only qtypes (but we don't need it for now)

get_qtype_fileareas()

static backup_qtype_essay_plugin::get_qtype_fileareas ( )

static

Returns one array with filearea => mappingname elements for the qtype.

Used by get_components_and_fileareas to know about all the qtype files to be processed both in backup and restore.

Reimplemented from backup_qtype_plugin.
