block_base::formatted_contents |
( |
|
$output | ) |
|
|
protectedinherited |
Convert the contents of the block to HTML.
This is used by block base classes like block_list to convert the structured $this->content->list and $this->content->icons arrays to HTML. So, in most blocks, you probaby want to override the get_contents() method, which generates that structured representation of the contents.
- Parameters
-
- Return values
-
string | the HTML that should appearn in the body of the block. |
- Since
- Moodle 2.0.
Reimplemented in block_tree, and block_list.
block_base::get_config_for_external |
( |
| ) |
|
|
inherited |
Return the plugin config settings for external functions.
In some cases the configs will need formatting or be returned only if the current user has some capabilities enabled.
- Return values
-
stdClass | the configs for both the block instance and plugin (as object with name -> value) |
- Since
- Moodle 3.8
Reimplemented in block_tags, block_tag_youtube, block_tag_flickr, block_starredcourses, block_settings, block_section_links, block_rss_client, block_recentlyaccessedcourses, block_online_users, block_navigation, block_myprofile, block_myoverview, block_mentees, block_html, block_glossary_random, block_course_list, block_blog_tags, block_blog_recent, and block_activity_results.
block_base::html_attributes |
( |
| ) |
|
|
inherited |
Return any HTML attributes that you want added to the outer.
that of the block when it is output.
Because of the way certain JS events are wired it is a good idea to ensure that the default values here still get set. I found the easiest way to do this and still set anything you want is to override it within your block in the following way
function html_attributes() { $attributes = parent::html_attributes(); $attributes['class'] .= ' mynewclass'; return $attributes; }
- Return values
-
array | attribute name => value. |
Reimplemented in block_navigation, block_list, and block_html.
block_base::instance_allow_config |
( |
| ) |
|
|
inherited |
Is each block of this type going to have instance-specific configuration? Normally, this setting is controlled by instance_allow_multiple(): if multiple instances are allowed, then each will surely need its own configuration.
However, in some cases it may be necessary to provide instance configuration to blocks that do not want to allow multiple instances. In that case, make this function return true. I stress again that this makes a difference ONLY if instance_allow_multiple() returns false.
