◆ notify_changed()

grade_item::notify_changed ( $deleted )

protected

Used to notify the completion system (if necessary) that a user's grade has changed, and clear up a possible score cache.

Parameters

bool $deleted True if grade was actually deleted

Reimplemented from grade_object.

◆ qualifies_for_regrading()

grade_item::qualifies_for_regrading ( )

Compares the values held by this object with those of the matching record in DB, and returns whether or not these differences are sufficient to justify an update of all parent objects.

This assumes that this object has an id number and a matching record in DB. If not, it will return false.

Return values

bool

◆ refresh_grades()

grade_item::refresh_grades ( $userid = 0 )

Refetch grades from modules, plugins.

Parameters

int $userid optional, limit the refetch to a single user

Return values

bool	Returns true on success or if there is nothing to do

◆ regrade_final_grades()

grade_item::regrade_final_grades ( $userid = null )

Performs the necessary calculations on the grades_final referenced by this grade_item.

Also resets the needsupdate flag once successfully performed.

This function must be used ONLY from lib/gradeslib.php/grade_regrade_final_grades(), because the regrading must be done in correct order!!

Parameters

int $userid Supply a user ID to limit the regrading to a single user

Return values

bool	true if ok, error string otherwise

◆ regrading_finished()

grade_item::regrading_finished ( )

Mark regrading as finished successfully.

This will also be called when subsequent regrading will not change any grades. Situations such as an error being found will still result in the regrading being finished.

◆ rescale_grades_keep_percentage()

grade_item::rescale_grades_keep_percentage	(	$oldgrademin,
		$oldgrademax,
		$newgrademin,
		$newgrademax,
		$source = `null`
	)

Update the rawgrademax and rawgrademin for all grade_grades records for this item.

Scale every rawgrade to maintain the percentage. This function should be called after the gradeitem has been updated to the new min and max values.

Parameters

float	$oldgrademin	The previous grade min value
float	$oldgrademax	The previous grade max value
float	$newgrademin	The new grade min value
float	$newgrademax	The new grade max value
string	$source	from where was the object inserted (mod/forum, manual, etc.)

Return values

bool	True on success

◆ set_aggregation_fields_for_aggregation()

grade_item::set_aggregation_fields_for_aggregation	(	$from,
		$to
	)

Update the aggregation fields when the aggregation changed.

This method should always be called when the aggregation has changed, but also when the item was moved to another category, even it if uses the same aggregation method.

Some values such as the weight only make sense within a category, once moved the values should be reset to let the user adapt them accordingly.

Note that this method does not save the grade item. grade_item::update() has to be called manually after using this method.

Parameters

int	$from	Aggregation method constant value.
int	$to	Aggregation method constant value.

Return values

boolean True when at least one field was changed, false otherwise

◆ set_calculation()

grade_item::set_calculation ( $formula )

If no calculation is given, the calculation is removed.

Parameters

string $formula string representation of formula used for calculation

Return values

bool success

◆ set_hidden()

grade_item::set_hidden	(	$hidden,
		$cascade = `false`
	)

0 mean always visible, 1 means always hidden and a number > 1 is a timestamp to hide until

Parameters

int	$hidden	new hidden status
bool	$cascade	apply to child objects too

Reimplemented from grade_object.

◆ set_locked()

grade_item::set_locked	(	$lockedstate,
		$cascade = `false`,

Locks or unlocks this grade_item and (optionally) all its associated final grades.

Parameters

int	$lockedstate	0, 1 or a timestamp int(10) after which date the item will be locked.
bool	$cascade	Lock/unlock child objects too
bool	$refresh	Refresh grades when unlocking

Return values

bool	True if grade_item all grades updated, false if at least one update fails

grade_item::set_locktime ( $locktime )

Set the locktime for this grade item.

Parameters

int $locktime timestamp for lock to activate

Return values

void

◆ set_parent()

grade_item::set_parent	(	$parentid,
		$updateaggregationfields = `true`
	)

Sets this item's categoryid.

A generic method shared by objects that have a parent id of some kind.

Parameters

int	$parentid	The ID of the new parent
bool	$updateaggregationfields	Whether or not to convert the aggregation fields when switching between category. Set this to false when the aggregation fields have been updated in prevision of the new category, typically when the item is freshly created.

Return values

bool	True if success

◆ set_properties()

static grade_object::set_properties	(	&	$instance,
			$params
	)

staticinherited

Given an associated array or object, cycles through each key/variable and assigns the value to the corresponding variable in this object.

Parameters

stdClass	$instance	The object to set the properties on
array	$params	An array of properties to set like $propertyname => $propertyvalue

Return values

array|stdClass Either an associative array or an object containing property name, property value pairs

Reimplemented in grade_category.

◆ set_sortorder()

grade_item::set_sortorder ( $sortorder )

Sets the sortorder of this grade_item.

This method is also available in grade_category, for cases where the object type is not know.

Parameters

int $sortorder

◆ update()

grade_item::update ( $source = null )

In addition to update() as defined in grade_object, handle the grade_outcome and grade_scale objects.

Force regrading if necessary, rounds the float numbers using php function, the reason is we need to compare the db value with computed number to skip regrading if possible.

Parameters

string $source from where was the object inserted (mod/forum, manual, etc.)

Return values

bool success

Reimplemented from grade_object.

◆ update_feedback_files()

grade_object::update_feedback_files ( int $historyid = null )

protectedinherited

Handles updating feedback files in the gradebook.

Parameters

int | null $historyid

Reimplemented in grade_grade.

◆ update_final_grade()

grade_item::update_final_grade	(	$userid,
		$finalgrade = `false`,
		$source = `null`,
		$feedback = `false`,
		$feedbackformat = `FORMAT_MOODLE`,
		$usermodified = `null`,
		$timemodified = `null`
	)

Updates final grade value for given user, this is a only way to update final grades from gradebook and import because it logs the change in history table and deals with overridden flag.

This flag is set to prevent later overriding from raw grades submitted from modules.

Parameters

int	$userid	The graded user
float \| false	$finalgrade	The float value of final grade, false means do not change
string	$source	The modification source
string	$feedback	Optional teacher feedback
int	$feedbackformat	A format like FORMAT_PLAIN or FORMAT_HTML

int	$timemodified	Optional parameter to set the time modified, if not present current time.

Return values

bool success

◆ update_from_db()

grade_object::update_from_db ( )

inherited

Using this object's id field, fetches the matching record in the DB, and looks at each variable in turn.

If the DB has different data, the db's data is used to update the object. This is different from the update() function, which acts on the DB record based on the object.

Return values

bool	True if successful

◆ update_raw_grade()

grade_item::update_raw_grade	(		$userid,
			$rawgrade = `false`,
			$source = `null`,
			$feedback = `false`,
			$feedbackformat = `FORMAT_MOODLE`,
			$usermodified = `null`,
			$dategraded = `null`,
			$datesubmitted = `null`,
			$grade = `null`,
		array	$feedbackfiles = `[]`
	)

Updates raw grade value for given user, this is a only way to update raw grades from external source (modules, etc.), because it logs the change in history table and deals with final grade recalculation.

Parameters

mixed	$rawgrade	float value of raw grade - false means do not change
string	$source	modification source
string	$feedback	optional teacher feedback
int	$feedbackformat	A format like FORMAT_PLAIN or FORMAT_HTML
int	$usermodified	the ID of the user who did the grading
int	$dategraded	A timestamp of when the student's work was graded
int	$datesubmitted	A timestamp of when the student's work was submitted
grade_grade	$grade	A grade object, useful for bulk upgrades
array	$feedbackfiles	An array identifying the location of files we want to copy to the gradebook feedback area. Example - [ 'contextid' => 1, 'component' => 'mod_xyz', 'filearea' => 'mod_xyz_feedback', 'itemid' => 2 ];

Return values

bool success

◆ use_formula()

grade_item::use_formula	(	$userid,
