Deprecated function signature #33

Description

@mhughes2k

Deprecated: Required parameter $contextlevel follows optional parameter $instanceid in /var/www/html/local/metadata/lib.php on line 68

Running on Moodle 4.x (master) and PHP 8.0.

Function's signature is function local_metadata_definition($mform, $instanceid = 0, $contextlevel)

But needs to either become:

  1. function local_metadata_definition($mform, $contextlevel, $instanceid = 0)

  2. function local_metadata_definition($mform, $instanceid = 0, $contextlevel = null)

  3. function local_metadata_definition($mform, $instanceid, $contextlevel)

(1) "breaks" existing calls by fixing the order of required / optional parameters.

(2) keeps existing calls working but will require an extra validation set to do something in the case that $contextlevel is not passed.

(3) removes the optionality of $instanceid

I think that (1) is the correct option as it's inline with what I believe is the sentiment of making a minimal call to this...
