Description
Grade categories have a number of settings to "Aggregate only non-empty grades" and so on.
The problem is that some sites want settings always to be a certain way and would have to manually edit each category (could be thousands) to get what they want.
The solution is to add more options to a new grade category settings page to force certain settings: admin/settings.php?section=gradecategorysettings.
By default none of these are set. If they are set, then
- those specific form controls on the category editing pages should be disabled,
- any editing of that form should force those vales into the grade_category table (for completeness), and:
- any code that depends on those values should check for and use the sitewide value instead of the actual value
Grade category settings -------------------------------------------------
Aggregation: [Menu of options here, including "Don't force" as default]
Aggregate only non-empty grades: [Force: On / Force: Off / Don't force]
Include outcomes in aggregation: [Force: On / Force: Off / Don't force]
Aggregate including subcategories: [Force: On / Force: Off / Don't force]
Keep the highest: [Menu of numbers, and Don't Force]
Drop the lowest: [Menu of numbers, and Don't Force]
All done, except that changing global settings doesn't update grade_categories records.
