Detailed Description

Course and category management interface helper class.

This class provides methods useful to the course and category management interfaces. Many of the methods on this class are static and serve one of two purposes.

  1. encapsulate functionality in an effort to ensure minimal changes between the different methods of interaction. Specifically browser, AJAX and webservice.
  2. abstract logic for acquiring actions away from output so that renderers may use them without having to include any logic or capability checks.
