    • 1.9.1
    • 1.7.1, 1.7.2, 1.7.3, 1.8, 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3
    • Blocks
    • None
    • MOODLE_17_STABLE, MOODLE_18_STABLE
    • MOODLE_19_STABLE

      The attached diffs add the following functionality to blocks:

      • Write to the backup file during the backup routine.
      • Encode links during the backup routine.
      • Restore its information written to the backup file during the restore routine.
      • Decode links during the restore routine.
      • Decode content links during restore routine.

      Basically, everything a module can do a block can do (in regards to backup/restore).

      The diffs were made off of a Moodle 1.7+ install.

      Please note that the diffs remove the block method after_restore and replaces it with a more robust instance_restore method. This method was not used by any core blocks in our 1.7+ Perhaps it was added for 3rd party blocks?
