Get the course display value for the current course.
Formats extending topics or weeks will use coursedisplay as this setting name so they don't need to override the method. However, if the format uses a different display logic it must override this method to ensure the core renderers know if a COURSE_DISPLAY_MULTIPAGE or COURSE_DISPLAY_SINGLEPAGE is being used.
| int | The current value (COURSE_DISPLAY_MULTIPAGE or COURSE_DISPLAY_SINGLEPAGE) |
|
finalinherited |
Returns id of the course (0 if course is not specified)

inherited |
Method used in the rendered and during backup instead of legacy 'numsections'.
Default renderer will treat sections with sectionnumber greater that the value returned by this method as "orphaned" and not display them on the course page unless in editing mode. Backup will store this value as 'numsections'.
This method ensures that 3rd party course format plugins that still use 'numsections' continue to work but at the same time we no longer expect formats to have 'numsections' property.

Reimplemented from core_courseformat\base.
|
inherited |
Returns true if the course has a front page.
This function is called to determine if the course has a view page, whether or not it contains a listing of activities. It can be useful to set this to false when the course format has only one activity and ignores the course page. Or if there are multiple activities but no page to see the centralised information.
Initially this was created to know if forms should add a button to return to the course page. So if 'Return to course' does not make sense in your format your should probably return false.

Definitions of the additional options that this course format uses for section.
See course_format\course_format_options() for return array definition.
Additionally section format options may have property 'cache' set to true if this option needs to be cached in get_fast_modinfo(). The 'cache' property is recommended to be set only for fields used in course_format\get_section_name(), course_format\extend_course_navigation() and course_format\get_view_url()
For better performance cached options are recommended to have 'cachedefault' property Unlike 'default', 'cachedefault' should be static and not access get_config().
Regardless of value of 'cache' all options are accessed in the code as $sectioninfo->OPTIONNAME where $sectioninfo is instance of section_info, returned by get_fast_modinfo($course)->get_section_info($sectionnum) or get_fast_modinfo($course)->get_section_info_all()
All format options for particular section are returned by calling: $this->get_format_options($section);

To make section unavailable set: $available = false; To make unavailable section completely hidden set: $availableinfo = ''; To make unavailable section visible with availability message set: $availableinfo = get_string('sectionhidden', 'format_xxx');
| section_info | $section | |
| bool | $available | the 'available' propery of the section_info as it was evaluated by conditional availability. Can be changed by the method but 'false' can not be overridden by 'true'. |
