I don't think you could construe this as "releasing" email addresses Paul. The emails are never displayed. When the tool does it's work, it gets them dynamically.

We're pretty much heads down getting a new WebLearn version tested for release on Tuesday. There are quite a few things that need fixing/tweaking/testing on Bod HEAD, so I feel a release may still be a way off...

Naomi has been working on functionality to allow users to email all
(and individual) members of groups that they belong to. The list of
groups is found by the following select statement:
Group.findGroups("name like '" + zonePrefix + ".%' and group_id in
(select group_id from members where user_id=" +
user.getUserId().intValue() + ")");
at uhi e.g. students and staff are in the 'uhi' zone so this will
ignore bodington default groups (allusers, allstaff... etc.) and
localgroup.owners/adhoc. This is pretty general so could I guess go
into head. Have a look at http://www.dev.clan.uhi.ac.uk/site/ - login
uhistdnt3/uhistdnt3.
The tricky bit is presenting groups in a logical way. E.g. we have
uhi.uh.upel70309.staff and uhi.uh.upel70309.students
(zone.faculty.module.*) so we have some String searching to find the
corresponding group name depending whether the user is staff or student
and presenting the user with the option of selecting staff or student
for a given group. This wouldn't be so easy to generalise but could
possibly be done with a regx set in template or bodington.properties -
depends of course on how an institution names groups and if this is
consistent. However, it's not essential and all groups could just be
presented with full description.
Any interest in this functionality out there? Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Antony

oh dear ( 2006-04-03 05:55:21 - Project CVS Service ) On 2006-03-30 the developer CVS server had a substantial system failure. Due to the implementation of the CVS service, there is a single point of failure with multiple points of recovery (there is more than one data source we could potentially recover from if there is any data loss as a result of the failure). This outage currently affects developer CVS access directly, but we have disabled tarball updates and data syncs from the developer CVS server to the anonymous pserver/ViewCVS hosts as an additional level of precaution. Our main focus since the outage was detected has been to safegaurd all data on the developer CVS server as well as possible. We are currently attempting to backup the data on the host, which is taking longer than we initially anticipated it would, but is a necessary step to fully safegaurd the host's data. Next, we are going to perform some data validation to ensure the data set appears valid. Pending successful completion of those steps, we'll reenable developer CVS access. A few days after, we'll reenable CVS tarballs and syncs to anonymous CVS. In the mean time, we're currently advancing plans for a CVS architecture change based upon the knowledge we gained during Subversion deployment to eliminate the single point of failure that developer CVS currently has, add horizontal scalability and overall service resiliance. However, we still do not have an estimate on when developer CVS services will be restored, but we have been, and currently are actively working to restore access to CVS. We appreciate your patience with us while we work to properly resolve this major outage. --=20 Alistair Young Senior Software Engineer UHI@Sabhal M=F2r Ostaig Isle of Skye Scotland |

Regarding ctrl+ that's what I was refering to when I mentioned users setting large fonts. In the old design it didn't matter much because the title frame was much simpler - icons on left, icons on right, title of resource in the middle. The frame was sized to fit the icons and for average size text the height of the frame was 3 times the height of the text. Therefore the font could be increased to 300% and still fit the title into one line. Now the frame is more cramped and there is stuff below the title and icons which can get pushed down. I think this can be improved a lot on the present design with better use of CSS styling. For example, there seems to be a top margin or padding that for big text gets very very big so not even the first line of the title remains visible. So, set the top margin and padding to zero or fixed measure in pixels. Also the grey bpx needs to be set to a fixed height so that large text is clipped rather than push the white area down. By the way having the top as a frame does have some uses for accessibility (as long as the user knows how to properly configure their browser). Also, does it matter that IFRAME is only available in the loose DTD, not strict?

The top frame is a bit more tricky - ideally it should never need a scroll bar because it's going to look bad. On the other hand with the recent redesign it's got less unused space. An additional problem is that users may set different font sizes which may make it even more cramped. Can frame sizes be specified in units of em? It might be a good idea if it's size was relative to the font size. Really you want a more complex size calculation based on the greater of (the icon size in pixels plus a margin) and (the height of a couple of lines of text in ems.)

Probably a historical hangover. The original purpose of the frame was to display an illustrative (i.e. non-essential) graphic. If the window is too small to show the whole graphic it is better for it to be cropped than to have an ugly scroll bar appear in the middle of the frame set. If the frame is now functional rather than decorative then a scroll bar is needed.

Yes - the problem was the fact that I'd missed giving the nickname. I now have another problem with the navigation bar giving me a 500 error. I'll get there eventually...

Is it the introduction, search, etc that you get in the search tool? In which case it's probably because it's using the default template for the tool (which Bod incorrectly thinks is the search tool -- that's another story...) I'd check that you have a nickname for your tool in the properties (default properties) file. > How do I get my contents.html to display properly? > > Aggie > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language > that extends applications into web and mobile media.
