Custom context levels

Good day,

it's been a while since I contributed to Moodle. I am back to Moodle coding and I have a few questions for you developers:

  1. Is anybody using $CFG->custom_context_classes setting to inject custom context levels?
  2. Did you ever want to have a custom context level in your Moodle plugin?

I am asking because of a proposed patch in MDL-74936 which refactors all context classes to namespaces and adds support for new plugin context levels. I also created MDL-74937 which demonstrates how it could be used to add new Cohort context level.

I'd be nice to hear your opinions, ideas or potential use cases.

Ciao,
Petr

Hi Petr,

welcome back smile.
I would love that. This would solve a lot of workarounds I use to not modify the core.

Best regards
Andreas

Absolutely! I know of several plugins that use custom contexts, including the metadata one I maintain, which creates contexts for groups and cohorts.
Having a maintained way to do this would be far preferable. Thanks.
