Add optional read-only mode for copied modules and optional update auto-sync for read-only copies. #2074
Conversation
…ons before rendering copy/preview buttons in a module's public page. Adds 'normal' and 'read-only' copy options to a module's public page. Replaces 'edit' button with 'synchronize' button in module dashboard for read-only modules. Adds a new dialog and relevant backend logic to automatically synchronize a read-only copied module with its original if any changes have been made.

Everything appears to be working when testing. I looked through the code and it seemed good too, but there is alot of code, and I didn't quite understand everything so another reviewer should also review to be sure.
One thing I noticed is the synchronize button appears on a copied module read-only when you click on it from the dashboard, however if you select more and open up the full module options it no longer appears. I do not know if it should appear in module options or how hard it would be to add.

Good catch. Should have a button in the expanded options menu, too. Will fix. |

It just occurred to me that there's a 'Make a Copy' option in the document editor. There should probably also be a 'Make a Read-Only Copy' option adjacent to that one. Setting this back to a draft until I can do that. |

The base branch was changed.
Closes #2005.
It turns out tracking copies isn't a problem because metadata has always been generated for that purpose.
Adds support for optionally making copies read-only with the ability to automatically synchronize updates from the original. This will allow users to have copies of modules that they can see assessment statistics for while also allowing them to keep their copy up-to-date with any content changes.
