Member Function Documentation

add_result()

base_task::add_result

(

$result

)

Add the given info to the current plan's results.

See also

base_plan::add_result()

Parameters

array

$result

associative array describing a result of a task/step

calculate_checksum()

base_task::calculate_checksum

(

)

This function will return one unique and stable checksum for one instance of the class implementing it.

It's each implementation responsibility to do it recursively if needed and use optional store (caching) of the checksum if necessary/possible

Implements checksumable.

define_settings()

base_task::define_settings ( )

abstractprotected

This function is invoked on activity creation in order to add all the settings that are associated with one task.

The function will, directly, inject the settings in the task.

Reimplemented in restore_section_task, restore_root_task, restore_final_task, restore_course_task, restore_block_task, restore_activity_task, backup_section_task, backup_root_task, backup_final_task, backup_course_task, backup_block_task, and backup_activity_task.

destroy()

base_task::destroy

(

)

Destroy all circular references.

It helps PHP 5.2 a lot!

get_progress()

base_task::get_progress

(

)

Gets the progress reporter, which can be used to report progress within the backup or restore process.

Return values

core

get_results()

base_task::get_results

(

)

Return the current plan's results.

Return values

array|null

get_weight()

base_task::get_weight

(

)

Returns the weight of this task, an approximation of the amount of time it will take.

By default this value is 1. It can be increased for longer tasks.

Return values

int

Weight

Reimplemented in backup_final_task.
