Bodington by default doesn't allow UPLOAD rights to admins although they can add themselves (as they have MANAGE rights). I have changed this in the WebLearn tree. Is there a reason why this was the case? Should I push this change across to Bodington? -- +--Matthew Buckett-----------------------------------------+ | VLE Developer, Learning Technologies Group | | Tel: +44 (0) 1865 283660 http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ | +------------Computing Services, University of Oxford------+ |

Sounds a good idea. While you are at it, could you make owners have MARK privilege by default in pigeonholes and short answer papers? Aggie -----Original Message----- From: bod...@li...

I think thats in our list as well :-) I'll have a look at it in the next few days hopefully. -- +--Matthew Buckett-----------------------------------------+ | VLE Developer, Learning Technologies Group | | Tel: +44 (0) 1865 283660 http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ | +------------Computing Services, University of Oxford------+ |

I'm going mad. I'd actually fixed that in WebLearn HEAD already! This was the method I added to PigeonHoleFacility: > /** > * Setup the PigeonHole resource to a sensible state.

Has anyone tried IBM Cloudscape (now Apache Derby) with Bodington? It is a Java-based SQL RDMS originally developed by Cloudscape, then purchased by IBM and finally donated to Apache as the open-source Derby. At first sight it looks like it might be a reasonable candidate for = bundling with Bod. Possibly more suitable for a production Bod than hSQL? Aggie |

I'm not convinced Derby would scale for the latter case and in the former case is not as lightweight! (I don't think it can be run in memory for instance). Alexis |

Possibly more suitable for a production Bod than hSQL? Dunno. My quick glance suggests that it doesn't have those bitwise operators (manual may be out of date) which Bodington currently needs. More than that I don't know anything about it. The reason I orginally picked HSQLDB was I'd heard of it and other products (uPortal) used it in a similar way (quickstart) to the way I was looking to. If derby looks better I'm all for updating but I can't see any reason to change. -- +--Matthew Buckett-----------------------------------------+ | VLE Developer, Learning Technologies Group | | Tel: +44 (0) 1865 283660 http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ | +------------Computing Services, University of Oxford------+ |
