Changelog

All notable changes to block_coursectrldates are documented here.

[1.1.0] – Moodle Plugin Directory Review

Added

• classes/external/block_action.php: Moodle External Service
  (block_coursectrldates_block_action) handling dismiss_help and disable_help
  splash actions


• db/services.php: service registration with ajax => true, loginrequired => true

Changed

• amd/src/block.js: splash actions now use core/ajax instead of raw fetch()


• templates/splash.mustache: data-action-url and data-sesskey removed;
  only data-instanceid and data-courseid remain


• block_coursectrldates.php: $actionurl and sesskey() removed from template context


• action.php: reduced to reset_help only (browser GET from block config form)

Fixed

• Issue #2: global PHP function update_block_show_help() eliminated; logic moved
  into the External Service class as a private static method (Frankenstyle compliance)


• Issue #3: legacy custom AJAX endpoint replaced by a registered Moodle External Service
