Member Function Documentation

add_plugin_structure()

backup_structure_step::add_plugin_structure (   $plugintype,   $element,   $multiple  )

protected

Add plugin structure to any element in the structure backup tree.

Parameters

string	$plugintype	type of plugin as defined by core_component::get_plugin_types()
backup_nested_element	$element	element in the structure backup tree that we are going to add plugin information to
bool	$multiple	to define if multiple plugins can produce information for each instance of $element (true) or no (false)

add_subplugin_structure()

backup_structure_step::add_subplugin_structure (   $subplugintype,   $element,   $multiple,   $plugintype = null,   $pluginname = null  )

protected

Add subplugin structure for a given plugin to any element in the structure backup tree.

This method allows the injection of subplugins (of a specified plugin) data to any element in any backup structure.

NOTE: Initially subplugins were only available for activities (mod), so only the backup_activity_structure_step class had support for them, always looking for /mod/modulenanme subplugins. This new method is a generalization of the existing one for activities, supporting all subplugins injecting information everywhere.

Parameters

string	$subplugintype	type of subplugin as defined in plugin's db/subplugins.json.
backup_nested_element	$element	element in the backup tree (anywhere) that we are going to add subplugin information to.
bool	$multiple	to define if multiple subplugins can produce information for each instance of $element (true) or no (false).
string	$plugintype	type of the plugin.
string	$pluginname	name of the plugin.

Return values

void

define_structure()

backup_structure_step::define_structure ( )

abstractprotected

Define the structure to be processed by this backup step.

Return values

backup_nested_element

Reimplemented in backup_workshop_activity_structure_step, backup_wiki_activity_structure_step, backup_url_activity_structure_step, backup_survey_activity_structure_step, backup_scorm_activity_structure_step, backup_resource_activity_structure_step, backup_page_activity_structure_step, backup_lti_activity_structure_step, backup_lesson_activity_structure_step, backup_label_activity_structure_step, backup_imscp_activity_structure_step, backup_glossary_activity_structure_step, backup_forum_activity_structure_step, backup_folder_activity_structure_step, backup_feedback_activity_structure_step, backup_data_activity_structure_step, backup_choice_activity_structure_step, backup_chat_activity_structure_step, backup_book_activity_structure_step, backup_assignment_activity_structure_step, and backup_assign_activity_structure_step.

destroy()

base_step::destroy ( )

inherited

Destroy all circular references.

It helps PHP 5.2 a lot!

execute_condition()

backup_structure_step::execute_condition ( )

protected

To conditionally decide if one step will be executed or no.

For steps needing to be executed conditionally, based in dynamic conditions (at execution time vs at declaration time) you must override this function. It will return true if the step must be executed and false if not
