Member Function Documentation

create_content()

testing_module_generator::create_content (   $instance,   $record = array()  )

inherited

Generates a piece of content for the module.

User is usually taken from global $USER variable.

Parameters

stdClass	$instance	object returned from create_instance() call
stdClass | array	$record

Return values

stdClass

generated object

Exceptions

coding_exception

if function is not implemented by module

Reimplemented in mod_wiki_generator, mod_lesson_generator, mod_forum_generator, and mod_book_generator.

create_entry()

mod_data_generator::create_entry	(		$data,
		array	$contents,
			$groupid = 0,
			$tags = [],
		array	$options = null
	)

Creates a field for a mod_data instance.

Keep in mind the default data field params created in create_field() function! ...if you haven't provided your own custom data field parameters there. The developers using the generator must adhere to the following format :

Syntax : $contents[ fieldid ] = fieldvalue $contents['checkbox'] = array('val1', 'val2', 'val3' .....) $contents['data'] = 'dd-mm-yyyy' $contents['menu'] = 'value'; $contents['multimenu'] = array('val1', 'val2', 'val3' .....) $contents['number'] = 'numeric value' $contents['radiobuton'] = 'value' $contents['text'] = 'text' $contents['textarea'] = 'text' $contents['url'] = 'example.url' or array('example.url', 'urlname') $contents['latlong'] = array('value for lattitude', 'value for longitude') $contents['file'] = 'filename or draftitemid' $contents['picture'] = array('filename or draftitemid', 'alternative text')

Parameters

stdClass	$data	record from table {data}
array	$contents
int	$groupid
array	$tags
array	$options

Return values

int	id of the generated record in table {data_records}

create_field()

mod_data_generator::create_field	(	stdClass	$record = null,
			$data = null
	)

Creates a field for a mod_data instance.

Parameters

StdClass	$record
mod_data	$data

Return values

data_field_{type}

create_instance()

mod_data_generator::create_instance	(		$record = null,
		array	$options = null
	)

Creates a mod_data instance.

Parameters

array	$record
array	$options

Return values

StdClass

Reimplemented from testing_module_generator.

get_modulename()

testing_module_generator::get_modulename ( )

inherited
