Detailed Description

Cohort assignment candidates.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct()

cohort_candidate_selector::__construct	(		$name,
			$options )

Constructor.

Each subclass must have a constructor with this signature.

Parameters

string	$name	the control name/id for use in the HTML.
array	$options	other options needed to construct this selector. You must be able to clone a userselector by doing new get_class($us)($us->get_name(), $us->get_options());

Reimplemented from user_selector_base.

Member Function Documentation

display()

user_selector_base::display ( $return = false )

inherited

Output this user_selector as HTML.

Parameters

boolean

$return

if true, return the HTML as a string instead of outputting it.

Return values

mixed

if $return is true, returns the HTML as a string, otherwise returns nothing.

exclude()

user_selector_base::exclude ( $arrayofuserids )

inherited

All to the list of user ids that this control will not select.

For example, on the role assign page, we do not list the users who already have the role in question.

Parameters

array

$arrayofuserids

the user ids to exclude.

find_users()

cohort_candidate_selector::find_users

(

$search

)

Candidate users.

Parameters

string

$search

Return values

array

Reimplemented from user_selector_base.

get_exclusions()

user_selector_base::get_exclusions ( )

inherited

Returns the list of user ids that this control will not select.

Return values

array

the list of user ids that this control will not select.

get_name()

user_selector_base::get_name ( )

inherited

Returns the id/name of this control.

Return values

string

the id/name that this control will have in the HTML.

get_options()

cohort_candidate_selector::get_options ( )

protected

Note: this function must be implemented if you use the search ajax field (e.g.

set $options['file'] = '/admin/filecontainingyourclass.php';)

Return values

array

the options needed to recreate this user_selector.

Reimplemented from user_selector_base.

get_rows()

user_selector_base::get_rows ( )

inherited

Returns the number of rows to display in this control.

Return values

integer

the height this control will be displayed, in rows.

get_selected_user()

user_selector_base::get_selected_user ( )

inherited

Convenience method for when multiselect is false (throws an exception if not).

Exceptions

moodle_exception

Return values

object

the selected user object, or null if none.

get_selected_users()

user_selector_base::get_selected_users ( )

inherited

The users that were selected.

This is a more sophisticated version of optional_param($this->name, array(), PARAM_INT) that validates the returned list of ids against the rules for this user selector.

Return values

array

of user objects.

initialise_javascript()

user_selector_base::initialise_javascript ( $search )

protectedinherited

Initialises JS for this control.

Parameters

string

$search

Return values

string

any HTML needed here.

invalidate_selected_users()

user_selector_base::invalidate_selected_users ( )

inherited

Invalidates the list of selected users.

If you update the database in such a way that it is likely to change the list of users that this component is allowed to select from, then you must call this method. For example, on the role assign page, after you have assigned some roles to some users, you should call this.

is_multiselect()

user_selector_base::is_multiselect ( )

inherited

Returns true is multiselect should be allowed.

Return values

boolean

whether this control will allow selection of more than one user.

is_validating()

user_selector_base::is_validating ( )

protectedinherited

Returns true if this control is validating a list of users.

Return values

boolean

if true, we are validating a list of selected users, rather than preparing a list of uesrs to choose from.

load_selected_users()

user_selector_base::load_selected_users ( )

protectedinherited

Get the list of users that were selected by doing optional_param then validating the result.

Return values

array

of user objects.

output_optgroup()

user_selector_base::output_optgroup ( $groupname, $users, $select )

protectedinherited

Output one particular optgroup.

Used by the preceding function output_options.

Parameters

string	$groupname	the label for this optgroup.
array	$users	the users to put in this optgroup.
boolean	$select	if true, select the users in this group.

Return values

string

HTML code.

output_options()

user_selector_base::output_options ( $groupedusers, $search )

protectedinherited

Output the list of <optgroup>s and <options>s that go inside the select.

This method should do the same as the JavaScript method user_selector.prototype.handle_response.

Parameters

array	$groupedusers	an array, as returned by find_users.
string	$search

Return values

string

HTML code.

output_user()

user_selector_base::output_user ( $user )

inherited

Convert a user object to a string suitable for displaying as an option in the list box.

Parameters

string

a string representation of the user.

Parameters

string

$u

the table alias for the user table in the query being built. May be ''.

Returns the string to use for the search button caption.

Return values

string

the caption for the search button.

search_sql()

user_selector_base::search_sql ( string $search, string $u )

protectedinherited

Returns an array with SQL to perform a search and the params that go into it.

Parameters

string	$search	the text to search for.
string	$u	the table alias for the user table in the query being built. May be ''.

Return values

array

an array with two elements, a fragment of SQL to go in the where clause the query, and an array containing any required parameters. this uses ? style placeholders.

set_extra_fields()

user_selector_base::set_extra_fields ( $fields )

inherited

Set the user fields that are displayed in the selector in addition to the user's name.

Parameters

array

$fields

a list of field names that exist in the user table.

set_multiselect()

user_selector_base::set_multiselect ( $multiselect )

inherited

true = allow multiple selection.

set_rows()

user_selector_base::set_rows ( $numrows )

too_many_results()

user_selector_base::too_many_results ( $search, $count )
