Description

When using IMPORT function, if the course being imported has more weeks/topics than the course being imported to, the activities and resources are all automatically shoved into week/topic 1. It would be handy if it could auto-create the extra weeks/topics needed for the new course.

Here is a patch which creates additional topic sections as required when importing into an existing course.

It also increases the numsections setting for the target course where required.

This is an amended patch which is better because it handles the case where the extra topic sections already exist. (eg. teacher creates course with 40 sections, then reduces it to 1 section, then does an import of a course with 10 sections).

This patch is against today's 19_STABLE branch.

thanks ! works great

( i had that issue on moodle 1.9.4 )

only little update to the second patch
http://tracker.moodle.org/secure/attachment/17188/mdl19-restore-numsections.patch

was that instead of the lines:

$new_section->summary = "";

i used :

$new_section->summary = $sect->summary;
$new_section->visible = $sect->visible;

for a full summery and visibility restore.

Thanks for the patch, Ashley!

Eloy, can you see any problems with making this behaviour standard?
