The URL is resolved by checking that the resource exists but then referencing the parent resource. This is unlikely to be the resource that the user wanted to access. I would suggest instead that a permanently moved response is returned with the URL corrected by adding a slash to the end. That would be closer to what users expect and if the URL was found via a search engine it is possible that the engine will correct the URL. Does the release notes refer to the 2.8 release notes? If so the trailing URL fix only applies to /site being redirected to /site/ we could redirect other resources but the problem is that at the moment you can have an uploaded files named: /site/building/floor/example and a suite named: /site/building/floor/example/ and they both work as the trailing URL is used to distinguish them. We have two namespaces overlapping (files and resources) and we never check for clashes. There are methods in the API that are designed for this (nice one Jon) but currently they don't do checking. -- -- Matthew Buckett, VLE Developer -- Learning Technologies Group, Oxford University Computing Services -- Tel: +44 (0)1865 283660 http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ltg/ |

We have a fix for this in WebLearn that creates a Metadata rebuild job that runs once and rebuilds the metadata for all resources (even if they already have metadata). org.bodington.installation.MetadataBuilder On WebLearn this gets called from BuildingContextListener which means the metadata gets rebuild the first time the context is reloaded.

Sorry to bring the thread back on topic O:-) but here is the result of some further work on styling. Ive tested on a large range of browsers (if you're all very good I'll tell you how) at 100% font size and at 150% font size. Some examples (including Safari) are attached to this message. You can try the mock-up page yourself at: http://www.beechtreecommon.org/consultancy/test/bs_template_top.htm Jon |

Jon, thanks for all the work here. And thanks to those who got the fixes = in. If you haven't seen it, there is a detailed set of comments and BUGS / RFCs at http://www.bodington.org/wiki/index.php?title=3DTestRel2.8#Outline It appears unlikely to me that we will make a Monday release, which is a shame, as there are other people out there who are watching us at this point and making judgements about the professionality of releases, qa, etc. I ask that those of you with new code in 2.8 please visit the above url and respond if not fix the stuff. If it is a feature, not a bug, then it would take a wee bit of editing on the template to make it explicit behaviour and jon and others would be less likely to be confused. thanks s <quote who=3D"Jon Maber"> > Many thanks to the people who very promptly fixed problems that I > identified in the putative Bodington 2.8. > > Now, there are quite a large number of issues that arose out of the > testing which need some very prompt action to fix by the target release > date which is very very very soon.

Many thanks to the people who very promptly fixed problems that I identified in the putative Bodington 2.8. Now, there are quite a large number of issues that arose out of the testing which need some very prompt action to fix by the target release date which is very very very soon. Who knows what influential and powerful people will download the 2.8 release so let's make it a reliable and glitch free experience for one and all. I have reserved some of the time that I have left to do further testing after the next round of bug fixing. Keep up the good work. Jon |

It's better to define the box within which the text should appear and make sure that the text doesn't escape from that box.

Apologies for cross posting this. *If* any one is interested in looking over the wall, there is a European Sakai Conference being held in Luebeck on September 6-7, 2006. Information can be found at http://www.oncampus.de/sakai In the words of the organizers, 'Would be cool if we also would have some non-Sakai believers at the conference', not to be converted, but to provide a perspective and challenge the thinking.

The title of the resource will still appear in full at the top of the resource page, this is just truncation for navigation div - the method could truncate at a reasonably logical place I guess!

If we are going to truncate peoples titles we should decide where we normally truncate and tell people so that they can try and have shorter titles so they are aware where it would be truncated. 30 characters? Even in our default install we have titles of 50+ characters ( User Administration for System Administration zone. ). I don't think actually limiting people to only 30 characters is sensible. -- -- Matthew Buckett, VLE Developer -- Learning Technologies Group, Oxford University Computing Services -- Tel: +44 (0)1865 283660 http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ltg/ |

How about a much simpler approach?!! Just add a method 'public static String trimText(String text, int maxLength)' to org.bodington.util.TextUtils and use that whenever there's a limited space for displaying text? Could always use title attribute in link to display full text. As I said we've also removed search and links from the navigation div so we have more space to play with.
