Description

This issue is part of the course hierarch project.

Issue goals

Any content in a delegated section must also be checked in the parent context. This can be done in several ways. This task is about evaluate how to deal with this new subsection concept inside the activities and regarding the course capabilities.

There are several approaches that must be evaluated:

Check if it is possible to infer the parent section form the context in the has_capacility function.
Create a get_context in the section_info class that will return the correct context to check capabilities
Create an ad-hoc method to check capabilities in a subsection
Any other creative solution we can think of.

Future issues

Any capabilities inside a subsection must first be checked by the delegated plugins.

Testing Instructions

Create a course C1:

Create a subsection S1 with an assignment activity A1
Create an assignment activity A2 in a section S2 (not subsection)
Create a subsection S3 with an assignment activity A3
Create an assignment activity A4 in a section S4 (not subsection)
Enroll a Student student1
Hide S1
Hide S2
Set restriction for S3 so it is visible on the day after today
Set restriction for S4 so it is visible on the day after today
Copy the direct URL for S1, S2, S3, S4, A1, A2, A3, A4 (you might login as admin for example and keep this in a private browser window)

Go to the direct URL for S1, S2, S3 and S4
Ensure that you have the message "Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (View hidden sections)."
Go to the direct URL for A1, A2, A3 and A4,
Ensure that you are redirected to the course index and have the message "Sorry, this activity is currently hidden"
