Detailed Description

Provides all the settings and steps to perform one complete backup of the activity.

Activities are supposed to provide the subclass of this class in their file mod/MODULENAME/backup/moodle2/backup_MODULENAME_activity_task.class.php The expected name of the subclass is backup_MODULENAME_activity_task

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct()

backup_activity_task::__construct	(		$name,
			$moduleid,
			$plan = null
	)

Constructor - instantiates one object of this class.

Parameters

string	$name	the task identifier
int	$moduleid	course module id (id in course_modules table)
backup_plan | null	$plan	the backup plan instance this task is part of

Member Function Documentation

add_result()

base_task::add_result (   $result )

inherited

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 ( )

inherited

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_my_settings()

backup_activity_task::define_my_settings ( )

abstractprotected

Defines activity specific settings to be added to the common ones.

This method is called from self::define_settings(). The activity module author may use it to define additional settings that influence the execution of the backup.

Most activities just leave the method empty.

See also

self::define_settings() for the example how to define own settings

Reimplemented in backup_workshop_activity_task, backup_wiki_activity_task, backup_url_activity_task, backup_survey_activity_task, backup_scorm_activity_task, backup_resource_activity_task, backup_quiz_activity_task, backup_page_activity_task, backup_lti_activity_task, backup_lesson_activity_task, backup_label_activity_task, backup_imscp_activity_task, backup_glossary_activity_task, backup_forum_activity_task, backup_folder_activity_task, backup_feedback_activity_task, backup_data_activity_task, backup_choice_activity_task, backup_chat_activity_task, backup_book_activity_task, backup_assignment_activity_task, and backup_assign_activity_task.

define_my_steps()

backup_activity_task::define_my_steps ( )

abstractprotected

Defines activity specific steps for this task.

This method is called from }. Activities are supposed * to call {self::add_step() in it to include their specific steps in the backup plan.

Reimplemented in backup_workshop_activity_task, backup_wiki_activity_task, backup_url_activity_task, backup_survey_activity_task, backup_scorm_activity_task, backup_resource_activity_task, backup_quiz_activity_task, backup_page_activity_task, backup_lti_activity_task, backup_lesson_activity_task, backup_label_activity_task, backup_imscp_activity_task, backup_glossary_activity_task, backup_forum_activity_task, backup_folder_activity_task, backup_feedback_activity_task, backup_data_activity_task, backup_choice_activity_task, backup_chat_activity_task, backup_book_activity_task, backup_assignment_activity_task, and backup_assign_activity_task.

destroy()

base_task::destroy ( )

inherited

Destroy all circular references.

It helps PHP 5.2 a lot!

encode_content_links()

static backup_activity_task::encode_content_links (   $content )

static

Encodes URLs to the activity instance's scripts into a site-independent form.

The current instance of the activity may be referenced from other places in the course by URLs like http://my.moodle.site/mod/workshop/view.php?id=42 Obvisouly, such URLs are not valid any more once the course is restored elsewhere. For this reason the backup file does not store the original URLs but encodes them into a transportable form. During the restore, the reverse process is applied and the encoded URLs are replaced with the new ones valid for the target site.

Every plugin must override this method in its subclass.

See also

backup_xml_transformer class that actually runs the transformation

Parameters

string

$content

some HTML text that eventually contains URLs to the activity instance scripts

Return values

string

the content with the URLs encoded

Reimplemented in backup_workshop_activity_task, backup_wiki_activity_task, backup_url_activity_task, backup_survey_activity_task, backup_scorm_activity_task, backup_resource_activity_task, backup_quiz_activity_task, backup_page_activity_task, backup_lti_activity_task, backup_lesson_activity_task, backup_label_activity_task, backup_imscp_activity_task, backup_glossary_activity_task, backup_forum_activity_task, backup_folder_activity_task, backup_feedback_activity_task, backup_data_activity_task, backup_choice_activity_task, backup_chat_activity_task, backup_book_activity_task, backup_assignment_activity_task, and backup_assign_activity_task.
