Description

Hi Vy,

you've deleted the string teacherforum in forum.php. In 1.7 I didn't find the teacherforum in the admin block. Whats with this type of forum in 1.7?

New function or what else?

Up to now I used the same set of language files for 1.6 and 1.7. Thats a problem if strings are deleted.

Hi Ralf,

Since roles are dynamic now, we can not ensure in 1.7 users always have a teachers role. So hardcoding teacher's forum does not make sense anymore. However, to use any forum like a teacher forum you can set the proper roles settings with the forum (capability overrides, normally just need to disable it for students).

The deleted string to the trainerforum has the consequence that updated 1.6 systems haven't a langstring for their teacherforum. Koen made a posting somewhere about it, and added the string again, but its gone again.

There are lots of system not updating to 1.7 for a longer time and they need the string.

I've added back the string:

$string['nameteacher'] = 'Teacher forum'; //depreciated after 1.7
