possible deprecation of plagiarism_get_form_elements function

danmarsden opened this issue · 0 comments

Hey team - just an FYI - I'm thinking about deprecating plagiarism_get_form_elements for the standard module callback (supported since Moodle 3.1)

coursemodule_standard_elements

One of the big advantages of this is that it's called by every coursemodule type in Moodle and it also comes with corresponding validation and edit_post_actions callbacks.

Feel free to add any objections here:

More info on callbacks is here:

No particular timeframe - I'm not in a big hurry to do this, just seems like something that makes sense - particularly as it gives us the ability to perform validation a bit better.
