Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
[2.2] - 2026-06-11
- Fixed Moodle 4.2 compatibility on the manage applications page by removing the missing
core/modal_types AMD dependency and using the default modal type exposed by core/modal_factory.
- Fixed applicant-facing attachment display after the application file itemid migration, and added an upgrade step to move legacy attachment records to application-id itemids.
[2.1] - 2026-06-02
- Added check to make sure the users who were set to receive application notifications are still enrolled in the course before sending them the notification.
- Applied format_text to the application text.
- Added restriction to application attachment (only application owner and enrol_gapply:manage capability can view).
- Added support for format_mtube (MooTube) to display and process applications directly from the MooTube interface.
[2.0] - 2026-05-07
🔄 Architectural Shift: AJAX to Web Services
- Removed
ajax.php: The legacy AJAX handler has been completely replaced.
- New External API:
classes/external.php and db/services.php have been added, implementing a robust Web Service layer. This handles all application lifecycle actions (approve, reject, waitlist, delete, withdraw) with better security and structured JSON responses.
-️ UI/UX Overhaul (Native Moodle Modals)
- Migration to
core/modal: The custom modal logic has been replaced with native Moodle Modals for better accessibility and theme compatibility.
- Dual-Pane Detail View: New Mustache templates (
modal_body.mustache, modal_header.mustache) implement a side-by-side layout for simultaneous document preview and application data management.
- Record Navigation: Added "Next" and "Previous" buttons within the modal, allowing admins to cycle through applications without closing and reopening the view.
- Custom messages for approval/rejection/waitlist and withdrawal.
- Search and launch application by application ID (aid).
- Notification now links to the specific application.
' Participants Page Integration
- Automated Helper: Added
amd/src/participants_helper.js, which automatically initializes on the course participants page.
- Group Management: Improved "Add to Group" and "Remove from Group" functionality directly within the participants' interface.
📂 Critical Fix: File Storage Logic
- Standardized
itemid: Changed the file storage logic to use the application's unique ID (appid) as the itemid. Previously, it used a concatenated string of $instanceid . $userid, which caused issues with multiple applications.
- Withdrawal Reason: The withdrawal workflow now captures a mandatory reason, which is included in the admin notification.
📈 Versioning & Compatibility
- Moodle 5.2 Support: Updated compatibility to support Moodle 5.2 (
$plugin->supported = [401, 502]).
🚀 Optimized Performance
- Batch Database Updates: Refactored bulk actions (approve/reject) to use optimized SQL
JOINs and UPDATE ... WHERE IN (...) statements, eliminating N+1 query performance bottlenecks.
