Member Function Documentation

◆ _load_instance()

block_base::_load_instance (   $instance,
  $page 
)
inherited

Set up a particular instance of this class given data from the block_insances table and the current page.

(See block_manager::load_blocks().)

Parameters
stdClass$instancedata from block_insances, block_positions, etc.
moodle_page$thepage this block is on.

◆ _self_test()

block_base::_self_test ( )
inherited

Tests if this block has been implemented correctly.

Also, $errors isn't used right now

Return values
boolean

◆ applicable_formats()

block_base::applicable_formats ( )
inherited

◆ before_delete()

block_base::before_delete ( )
inherited

Function that can be overridden to do extra cleanup before the database tables are deleted.

(Called once per block, not per instance!)

Reimplemented in block_myprofile.

◆ config_save()

block_base::config_save (   $data)
inherited

Default behavior: save all variables as $CFG properties You don't need to override this if you 're satisfied with the above.

Deprecated:
since Moodle 2.9 MDL-49385 - Please use Admin Settings functionality to save block configuration.

◆ formatted_contents()

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
$outputThe core_renderer to use when generating the output.
Return values
stringthe HTML that should appearn in the body of the block.
Since
Moodle 2.0.

Reimplemented in block_list, and block_tree.

◆ get_aria_role()

block_base::get_aria_role ( )
inherited

Returns the aria role attribute that best describes this block.

Region is the default, but this should be overridden by a block is there is a region child, or even better a landmark child.

Options are as follows:

  • landmark
    • application
    • banner
    • complementary
    • contentinfo
    • form
    • main
    • navigation
    • search
Return values
string

Reimplemented in block_activity_modules, block_admin_bookmarks, block_blog_menu, block_course_list, block_navigation, block_search_forums, and block_settings.

◆ get_config_for_external()

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
stdClassthe configs for both the block instance and plugin (as object with name -> value)
Since
Moodle 3.8

Reimplemented in block_activity_results, block_blog_recent, block_blog_tags, block_course_list, block_glossary_random, block_html, block_mentees, block_myoverview, block_myprofile, block_navigation, block_online_users, block_recentlyaccessedcourses, block_rss_client, block_section_links, block_settings, block_starredcourses, block_tag_flickr, block_tag_youtube, and block_tags.

◆ get_content()

block_calendar_month::get_content ( )

Return the content of this block.

Return values
stdClassthe content

Reimplemented from block_base.

◆ get_content_for_external()

block_base::get_content_for_external (   $output)
inherited

Return an object containing all the block content to be returned by external functions.

If your block is returning formatted content or provide files for download, you should override this method to use the external_format_text, external_format_string functions for formatting or external_util::get_area_files for files.

Parameters
core_renderer$outputthe rendered used for output
Return values
stdClassobject containing the block title, central content, footer and linked files (if any).
Since
Moodle 3.6

Reimplemented in block_html.

◆ get_content_for_output()

block_base::get_content_for_output (   $output)
inherited

Return a block_contents object representing the full contents of this block.

This internally calls ->get_content(), and then adds the editing controls etc.

You probably should not override this method, but instead override html_attributes(), formatted_contents() or get_content(), hide_header(), (get_edit_controls), etc.

Return values
block_contentsa representation of the block, for rendering.
Since
Moodle 2.0.

◆ get_content_type()

block_base::get_content_type ( )
inherited

Returns the class $content_type var value.

Intentionally doesn't check if content_type is set. This is already done in _self_test()

Return values
string::$this-,>content_type

◆ get_required_javascript()

block_base::get_required_javascript ( )
inherited

Allows the block to load any JS it requires into the page.

By default this function simply permits the user to dock the block if it is dockable.

Left null as of MDL-64506.

Reimplemented in block_navigation, and block_settings.

◆ get_title()

block_base::get_title ( )
inherited

Returns the class $title var value.

Intentionally doesn't check if a title is set. This is already done in _self_test()

Return values
string::$this-,>title

◆ has_config()

block_base::has_config ( )
inherited

◆ hide_header()

block_base::hide_header ( )
inherited

Default return is false - header will be shown.

Return values
boolean

Reimplemented in block_course_summary.

◆ html_attributes()

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
arrayattribute name => value.

Reimplemented in block_html, block_list, and block_navigation.

◆ instance_allow_config()

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.

Return values
boolean

Reimplemented in block_badges, block_blog_menu, block_blog_recent, block_blog_tags, block_myprofile, block_navigation, block_rss_client, block_section_links, block_settings, and block_tags.

◆ instance_allow_multiple()
