inherited

Can be overridden to add custom completion rules if the module wishes them.

If overriding this, you should also override completion_rule_enabled.

Just add elements to the form as needed and return the list of IDs. The system will call disabledIf and handle other behaviour for each returned ID.

Return values
arrayArray of string IDs of added items, empty array if none

Reimplemented in mod_assign_mod_form, mod_choice_mod_form, mod_data_mod_form, mod_feedback_mod_form, mod_forum_mod_form, mod_glossary_mod_form, mod_lesson_mod_form, mod_quiz_mod_form, mod_scorm_mod_form, and mod_survey_mod_form.

◆ after_definition()

moodleform::after_definition ( )
protectedinherited

After definition hook.

This is useful for intermediate classes to inject logic after the definition was provided without requiring developers to call the parent self::definition()} as it's not obvious by design. The 'intermediate' class is 'MyClass extends IntermediateClass extends moodleform'.

Classes overriding this method should always call the parent. We may not add anything specifically in this instance of the method, but intermediate classes are likely to do so, and so it is a good practice to always call the parent.

Return values
void

Reimplemented in core\form\persistent.

◆ apply_admin_defaults()

inherited

Get the list of admin settings for this module and apply any defaults/advanced/locked/required settings.

Return values
void

◆ apply_admin_locked_flags()

◆ validate_defined_fields()

moodleform::validate_defined_fields (   $validateonnosubmit = false)
inherited

Validate the form.

You almost always want to call is_validated instead of this because it calls definition_after_data first, before validating the form, which is what you want in 99% of cases.

This is provided as a separate function for those special cases where you want the form validated before definition_after_data is called for example, to selectively add new elements depending on a no_submit_button press, but only when the form is valid when the no_submit_button is pressed,

Parameters
bool$validateonnosubmitoptional, defaults to false. The default behaviour is NOT to validate the form when a no submit button has been pressed. pass true here to override this behaviour
Return values
booltrue if form data valid

◆ validate_draft_files()

moodleform::validate_draft_files ( )
protectedinherited

Internal method.

Validates filepicker and filemanager files if they are set as required fields. Also, sets the error message if encountered one.

Return values
bool|arraywith errors

◆ validation()

moodleform_mod::validation (   $data,
  $files 
)
inherited

Dummy stub method - override if you needed to perform some extra validation.

If there are errors return array of errors ("fieldname"=>"error message"), otherwise true if ok.

Server side rules do not work for uploaded files, implement serverside rules here if needed.

Parameters
array$dataarray of ("fieldname"=>value) of submitted data
array$filesarray of uploaded files "element_name"=>tmp_file_path
Return values
arrayof "element_name"=>"error_description" if there are errors, or an empty array if everything is OK (true allowed for backwards compatibility too).
