1) Every certificate is a template. Before a user would create a certificate then had
the option to save it as a template. This could potentially be chaotic with numerous
users creating templates, making the template system a mess. Now, rather than creating
a certificate first, then saving it as a template, you are always creating a template.
Each template is associated with a context, so depending on where you are creating it
the context is different. This means users in the CONTEXT_MODULE context are creating
a template specific to that module, where as a user creating a template in the
CONTEXT_SYSTEM context would be creating a general template that can be used by others.
This meant we can remove the 'customcert_template_*' db tables. Yay - no duplicated
tables.
2) Created new helper classes and moved functionality there.
3) Moved files to classes/ for autoloading.
4) General tidy up.
An option named "replace" has been added to the same
template form so user can choose to overwrite an existing
template (i.e. modify and save an existing template).
This file is barely accessed in Moodle, if it all. However, it is
required in order to upload this module to the plugin database as
it is needed to pass validation.
The elements for each page are listed in a table below the other page settings, meaning each page has a separate table for listing their elements. Each element is now edited in a pop-up, rather than having all the element settings displayed at once on the form causing it to look overcrowded. There is also no longer any need for the function add_element to add default values for the elements when they are added, as a a form is shown when you click to add an element where you can enter the values before it is created.
Note: I did not create a db/upgrade.php script to add the new database columns as this module should not be currently used by anyone.
Rather than using grouped elements which can span across multiple lines on a small screen, the elements are now generated within a header element, keeping them separated and making the form more manageable. The base class was also changed to accomodate this by making it easier for elements to utilise common features.
