core_customfield\data_controller::__construct	(	int	$id,
		stdClass	$record )

data_controller constructor.

Parameters

int	$id
stdClass | null	$record

Member Function Documentation

create()

static core_customfield\data_controller::create ( int $id, stdClass $record = null, field_controller $field = null )

static

Creates an instance of data_controller.

Parameters $id, $record and $field can complement each other but not conflict. If $id is not specified, fieldid must be present either in $record or in $field. If $id is not specified, instanceid must be present in $record

No DB queries are performed if both $record and $field are specified.

Parameters

int	$id
stdClass | null	$record
field_controller | null	$field

Return values

data_controller

Exceptions

moodle_exception

datafield()

core_customfield\data_controller::datafield ( )

abstract

Return the name of the field in the db table {customfield_data} where the data is stored.
