Allow local custom profile fields also be accessible via webservices

[Robert Lyon]

What is wanted:

Have the mahara_user_external.php webservice function be able to set / fetch the information for local custom fields.

Currently we have to hardcode in the extra fields in the _parameters() or _returns() functions

It would be better if the local/lib/artefact_internal.php had a function to call to fetch webservice info for the local profile fields

So in your local/lib/artefact_internal.php file you would need something like so:

class PluginArtefactInternalLocal extends PluginArtefactInternal {

    public static function get_artefact_types() {
        return array(
            'cat',
            'dog',
        );
    }

    public static function get_profile_artefact_types() {
      return array(
          'cat',
          'dog',
      );
    }

    public static function get_contactinfo_artefact_types() {
      return array(
          'cat',
          'dog',
      );
    }

    public static function get_webservice_options() {
      return array(
          'cat' => new external_value(PARAM_TEXT, 'Cat name', VALUE_OPTIONAL),
          'dog' => new external_value(PARAM_TEXT, 'Dog name', VALUE_OPTIONAL),
      );
    }
}

class ArtefactTypeProfileLocal extends ArtefactTypeProfile {
    public static function get_all_fields() {
        $out = array(
            'cat' => 'text',
            'dog' => 'text',
        );
        return $out;
    }
}

class ArtefactTypeCat extends ArtefactTypeProfileField {}
class ArtefactTypeDog extends ArtefactTypeProfileField {}

Bug 1892794: Allowing custom profile fields have custom titles

Currently all profile fields title/label named via the artefacttype
But if we want different titles in differnet contexts we can now do
this by adding to our ArtefactTypeWhatever class something like

public static function static_display_title() {
if (... some condition ...) {
return get_string('altoption', 'artefact.internal');
}
return get_string('option', 'artefact.internal');
}
