Description
There is an error in method for generating new temporary name for a restored course. Method is located in
<moodle>/backup/util/dbops/restore_dbops.class.php
restore_dbops::calculate_course_names
|
That method uses
$DB->get_record_select
|
Which throws exception if query returns more than one record and debugging is turned on. It does not break anything but it annoys suspicious users(clients).
Quick fix would be to change these lines:
$coursefull = $DB->get_record_select('course', 'fullname = ? AND id != ?', array($currentfullname, $courseid));
|
$courseshort = $DB->get_record_select('course', 'shortname = ? AND id != ?', array($currentshortname, $courseid));
|
To:
$coursefull = $DB->get_record_select('course', 'fullname = ? AND id != ?', array($currentfullname, $courseid), IGNORE_MULTIPLE);
|
$courseshort = $DB->get_record_select('course', 'shortname = ? AND id != ?', array($currentshortname, $courseid), IGNORE_MULTIPLE);

No. The error you are mentioning occurs when somebody call's a quiz index.php without passing a required parameter id.
Attaching a patch with a proposed solution. Darko, changing the DB call on courseshort shouldn't be necessary since it should be unique for all courses. Please correct me if you found that not to be the case.
Although Moodle enforces uniquenes of course short name in the code in the database there is no such constraint, hence duplicates are possible. I even asked about that in Moodle dev. forum

Thanks for reporting this, guys. There has been some recent work in the area. Hopefully we can get this sorted out soon.
Thanks for providing a patch for this. I have given credit as author to you Mark. Cheers!

Thanks Ankit! Pushing for integration.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Integrated to 22, 23 and master.
Thanks guys!
Tested on master first to replicate the error and then tested on the 2.2, 2.3 and master integration branches.
No errors are being displayed.
Test passed. 
Hurray!
You did it, congratulations! You have on Mojito credit to redeem after the release of Moodle 2.4
