The following steps should be run on a Moodle site without the patch.

• Login as admin
• Go to Site admin > Plugins > Plugins overview and search for "Assignment 2.2 (Disabled)"
• Verify that you see 2 results.

• Apply the patch and run the site upgrade.
• Verify that you cannot continue the site upgrade due the environment check being failed with Assignment 2.2 is in use .

Test scenario for upgrade

• Stand up a fresh site from master branch
• Apply the patch
• Perform the upgrade
• Login as an admin
• Go to "Site administration > Plugins > Plugins overview".
• Verify  there is no longer a mention of 'Assignment 2.2'.

Test scenario for fresh install

• Create a new freshly install site
• Verify that there is no longer a mention of 'Assignment 2.2' in Site admin > Plugins > Plugins overview

Test scenario for backup and restore (Post mod_assginment removal)

• Access to "Site administration > Courses > Restore course".
• Restore as a new course
• Verify that you see an error saying "Invalid get_string() identifier: 'pluginname' or component 'assignment'. Perhaps you are missing $string ['pluginname'] = ''; in mod/assignment/lang/en/assignment.php?"
• Finish the restore process as a new course
• Access to the restored course.
• Verify that the "Preparation" section has only 2 activities ("Assignment 2: Join our discussion forum" and "Assignment 3: Give your vote"). The assignment activities "Assignment 1: Create your personal profile" and "Assignment 4: Create and submit a paper" shouldn't be created.

Test scenario for backup and restore (Reinstall the mod_assignment)

• Get the mod_assignment plugin from here
• Put all the plugin files in mod/assignment
• Run the the site upgrade
• Follow the steps from Test scenario for backup and restore (Post mod_assginment removal)
• Verify that you don't see any errors and you should also see what you did not see in step 8 in Test scenario for backup and restore (Post mod_assginment removal)

Description

The Assignment 2.2 activity module has been disabled by default since 2012 but was kept to enable pre-2.2 backups to be restored and have the assignments auto-converted to new assignments.

Let's remove it from Moodle 4.2 and add it to the git repository for anyone who still needs to restore pre-2.2 backups.

Assignment sub-plugins

The mod_assign activity can be extended using two sub-plugin types, namely:

• submission plugins, used to provide different ways for students to submit their content
• feedback plugins, used to extend the ways in which feedback may be provided to students on their submissions

Modulo-Assign Operator %=

This page was translated by a robot.

The modulo assignment operator performs remainder division by dividing the value of the variable to the left of the operator by the value to the right of the operator. The result is stored back into the variable.

The modulo assignment operator expects an lvalue on the left and an rvalue on the right and is processed from right to left . The return value is an rvalue in C : the value of the left operand after assignment. in C++, the return value is an lvalue : the (now assigned) left operand itself.

The modulo assignment operator behaves exactly like the assignment operator except that it performs an additional modulo calculation. For details about the properties of a modulo assignment, reference is made here to the description of the assignment operator and the modulo operator . The following two program lines, which are absolutely equivalent, suffice as an additional explanation of the modulo assignment operator in relation to the simple assignment operator :

The set round brackets indicate that due to the operator ranking in the modulo assignment, just like in all assignment operators, the complete right-hand part after the equals sign is evaluated as an operand.

Kontakt doesn't respond to expression pedal while Cinesamples do on MK3

Just booted up a new S88 MK3. The expression pedal work fine with my Cinesamples but won't register with my Kontakt sounds. Any ideas?

Best Answer

@Tom Hojnacki Not all libraries have a MIDI assignment for expression (CC). You can easily assign it yourself by right clicking a control and choose MIDI learn or by going into the MIDI aautomation menu:

You will have to set the preset as a user preset if you don't want to make the MIDI assignment every time.

not all instruments react to an expression pedal set to the same CC, so it depends as what you have set it, as damper pedal or whatever.

Thanks for the advice! I appreciate it.

List of Moodle plugin types

Obtaining the list of plugin types known to your Moodle

To get the most exact list of types in your version of Moodle, use the following script. Put it to a file in the root directory of your Moodle installation and execute it via command line.

Things you can find in all plugins

Although there are many different types of plugin, there are some things that work the same way in all plugin types. Please see Plugin files page that describes things that work the same in all plugin types.

Naming conventions

Warning if you have to choose a plugin (directory) name. The name is validated by the method lib/classes/component.php::is_valid_plugin_name() with a regexp: /^[a-z](?:[a-z0-9_](?!__))*[a-z0-9]+$/ . In particular, the minus (-) character is not considered as valid, and the plugin will be silently ignored if the name is not valid.

There is an exception for activity modules that can not have the underscore in their name for legacy reasons.

Difference between Object.assign and just assign

I would like to know the difference between this:

And.. which one is faster?

• Used that way, there is no difference, the property of the second object is simply copied to the first object. Object.assign does however have other uses than just adding a single property. Which is faster probably doesn't matter, you'll never notice the difference. –  adeneo Commented Feb 6, 2016 at 13:55

• crazy @VickyGonsalves !!!!!!!!! –  user5526811 Commented Feb 6, 2016 at 14:00
• If you only want to assign a property, use the later. If you want to assign several and don't want to repeat otherObject. each time, use the former. –  Oriol Commented Feb 6, 2016 at 14:16

The Object.assign() method is used to copy the values of all enumerable own properties from one or more source objects to a target object. It will return the target object.

Whereas otherObject.someNewProperty = ''; is a method to directly assign a value to some property of an object.

Obviously the Object.assign pattern is much slower : jsperf.com/assign-vs-equals

For single property, direct assignment ( otherObject.someNewProperty = '' ) is twice faster, but for multiple values - time will grow. Each property + 5% to 10%. Also, code-wise Object.assign is nicer for multiple options.

You simply can run Profiles tab in Chrome Development tool and run few tests.

Object.assign() is a pretty versatile function that is designed to do complex object composition.

The property dot notation is a straight forward way to assign a single value to a single property.

Regarding which is faster, that's irrelevant considering these are not equivalent, and as one of my all time favorite posts noted " asking which one runs faster is maybe a non-starter ".

There is another important thing to show here about the differences between assign directly and using Object.assign(actually, not exactly a difference, but a important thing to be aware).

If you have a Object that's assigned to another variable in JS, like this:

then, you decided to use Object.assign to change the value in a and assign to another variable( d ), you will change the value in b as well(even you not assigning the Object.assign return to a , in this example let's assign to a new variable d ).

Basically, it's important to know that Object.assign will mutate the target object as well all variables pointing to it.

Now, if you use directly the assignment to d , it'll not change the value in a (and in b as well will not change).

This is actually a good question: We just found a bug, where we would assign properties to a file using Object.assign.
