Detailed Description

Base converter class.

All Moodle backup converters are supposed to extend this base class.

Exceptions

convert_exception

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct()

base_converter::__construct	(		$tempdir,
			$logger = null
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

string	$tempdir	the relative path to the directory containing the unpacked backup to convert
	null|base_logger	logger to use during the conversion

Member Function Documentation

description()

static base_converter::description ( )

static

Returns the basic information about the converter.

The returned array must contain the following keys: 'from' - the supported source format, eg. backup::FORMAT_MOODLE1 'to' - the supported target format, eg. backup::FORMAT_MOODLE 'cost' - the cost of the conversion, non-negative non-zero integer

Reimplemented in moodle1_converter, imscc11_converter, imscc11_export_converter, and imscc1_converter.

destroy()

base_converter::destroy ( )

protected

Cleans up stuff after the execution.

Note that we do not know if the execution was successful or not. An exception might have been thrown.

detect_format()

static base_converter::detect_format (   $tempdir )

static

Detects the format of the backup directory.

Moodle 2.x format is being detected by the core itself. The converters are therefore supposed to detect the source format. Eventually, if the target format os not backup::FORMAT_MOODLE then they should be able to detect both source and target formats.

Parameters

string

$tempdir

the name of the backup directory

Return values

null|string

null if not recognized, backup::FORMAT_xxx otherwise

Reimplemented in moodle1_converter, imscc11_converter, and imscc1_converter.

get_id()

base_converter::get_id

(

)

Get instance identifier.

Return values

string

the unique identifier of this converter instance

get_name()

base_converter::get_name

(

)

Get converter name.

Return values

string

the system name of the converter

get_tempdir_path()

base_converter::get_tempdir_path

(

)

Return values

string

the full path to the directory with the source backup

get_workdir_path()

base_converter::get_workdir_path

(

)

Return values

string

the full path to the working directory

init()

base_converter::init ( )

protected

end of public API //////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Initialize the instance if needed, called by the constructor

Reimplemented in moodle1_converter.

is_available()

static base_converter::is_available ( )

static

public static methods //////////////////////////////////////////////////

Makes sure that this converter is available at this site

This is intended for eventual PHP extensions check, environment check etc. All checks that do not depend on actual backup data should be done here.

Return values

boolean

true if this converter should be considered as available

Reimplemented in moodle1_export_converter, and imscc1_export_converter.

replace_tempdir()

base_converter::replace_tempdir ( )

protected

Replaces the source backup directory with the converted version.

If $CFG->keeptempdirectoriesonbackup is defined, the original source source backup directory is kept for debugging purposes.

set_logger()

base_converter::set_logger

(

$logger

)

Sets the logger to use during the conversion.

Parameters

null | base_logger

$logger
