Synchronization of group description and picture

[paulholden]

Thanks @vadimonus! Don't we need to actually move the picture too? e.g. the picture used in the "meta group" should exist independently from the original?

In our case we use groups with meta synchronizaion to make groups be the same in many courses. If we do not move picture and description, groups will not look like the same, and teachers or administrators will need some more time to clone description and pictures to many courses.
We can add plugin config setting to determine, if picture and description should be synced. What do you think about such solution?

Hi @vadimonus - I was just trying out your PR. My previous point stands, if a group in the parent course has a "picture" set, or an image within the "description" field, then those files need copying to the child course and linked to the new meta-group

Testing now, I can see this isn't the case. The "picture" is missing, and the image within the "description" field is missing in the meta-group - are you able to address that (I've added screenshots to demonstrate)?

Also, could you revert version change?

@paulholden That's just part part of commits, that was made more than two years ago. I've just rebased them. I will test it on latest moodle version and fix it

@paulholden Вetter late than never. I've rewritten code to fix problems. Images in description and icon now should sync as expected.

@paulholden Would you have some time to check this pull request?
