Description

« Hide

The current code for bulk importing user pictures expects the picture files not to be in subdirectories inside the zip file at all. If the zip file has subdirectories inside it, any files inside those subdirectories are ignored as we skip over directories.

The attached patch improves uploadpicture.php to recursively proccess any subdirectories in the zip file (and the files inside them), in addition to processing the files at the 'root' of the zip file.

Saludos. Iñaki.

Iñaki - Great idea to process the subdirectories. That way any image file in the zip file will be processed which seems much more thorough IMO. +1 Peace - Anthony

Looks interesting! +1

Anyway I've take a quick look to the implementation.... and have found some things:

Use of globals... err... uhm... couldn't them be passed via parameters or so? It seems that $userfields and $userfield can be easily skipped and changed to one $fieldname to be used in queries. And $usersupdated and $userserrors can be handled by returning +-1 by process_file() and acumulated in process_directory() that will return them via parameters by reference. And $overwritepicture is one simple parameter.
There is one "continue" that shouldn't be there IMO (return instead).

Ciao

Hi Iñaki....

are you going to work on this. Or do you prefer to assign it to somebody else? 100% your election!

TIA!

I can work on it, but it'll have to wait til Wednesday evening, as I'll be quite busy tomorrow. If it can't wait that longer, feel free to assign it to somebody else.

Saludos. Iñaki.

Here is an updated patch that should address all of your concerns. In addition to that, I've added a bit of documentation to the internal functions.

Note that I'll be out of town (without network connectivity) until sunday at night, just in case.

Saludos. Iñaki.

Hi Jerome, can you, please, take a look to this? It's interesting stuff to be added ASAP.

Sorry by the delay, Iñaki! And thanks!

Iñaki's patch works fine on 1.9 and the code looks good (thanks for code documentation :o). I'll update the patch code for mdlib 2.0 support during the merge to HEAD.

Tested on 1.9 and HEAD (head version updated to use mdlib 2.0). Commited on 1.9 and HEAD.
Thanks Iñaki (really appreciate your code improvement and documentation :o)
Thanks Eloy as well

the $userfields might be better passed through the form contructor as $customdata parameter

Jerome - I am closing this because the patch does work; however, I wanted to call your attention to Petr comment that the $userfields might be better passed through the form contructor as $customdata parameter. Peace - Anthony

Thanks, I have a look at that

Ok I updated the code. I use $userfields as _customdata parameter during moodleform declaration.

That the first time I'm working with moodleform. I'll wait for review from Petr before commiting in order to know if it's what he expected.
