possible deprecation of plagiarism_get_form_elements function #24

Closed danmarsden closed 2 years ago

danmarsden commented 5 years ago

Hey team - just an FYI - I'm thinking about deprecating plagiarism_get_form_elements for the standard module callback (supported since Moodle 3.1)

coursemodule_standard_elements

One of the big advantages of this is that it's called by every coursemodule type in Moodle and it also comes with corresponding validation and edit_post_actions callbacks.

Feel free to add any objections here: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-65835

More info on callbacks is here: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Callbacks

No particular timeframe - I'm not in a big hurry to do this, just seems like something that makes sense - particularly as it gives us the ability to perform validation a bit better.
