Hi all, Currently the homework sets editor page provides, among other things, the option to "Edit selected sets," and lists sets in a table with columns Select - [select checkbox] Edit Set Data - SetName (link to edit set visibility and dates) Edit Problems - # (link to set detail page) Edit Assigned Users - #/# (link to edit assigned users page) Visible - Yes|No Open Date - MM/DD/YY at TT:TT Due Date - MM/DD/YY at TT:TT Answer Date - MM/DD/YY at TT:TT Clicking "Edit selected sets" or the "Edit set data" link goes to the "Hmwk Sets Editor" edit page that allows editing of visibility, open, due and answer dates. From there one can go to "Edit All Set Data" on the set detail page. Clicking "Edit problems" goes directly to the set detail page, where all aspects of the set can be edited. This is semi-intuitive, in that "editing set data/selected sets" allows one to edit most of the data appearing in the table. But it's also non-intuitive, in that clicking "Edit set data" or "Edit selected sets" doesn't actually take one to the full set editing page. Questions: 1. Is this the behavior we want on this page? 2. Would it be more intuitive to change the table to have columns Select - [select checkbox] Edit Set Data and Problems - SetName (link to set detail page) Edit Assigned Users - #/# (link to edit assigned users page) Visible - Yes|No Open Date - MM/DD/YY at TT:TT (link to edit dates) Due Date - (similar) Answer Date - (similar) (where "link to edit dates" goes to the "Hmwk Sets Editor" edit page allowing editing of visibility and dates). The only disadvantage I can see to option (2) is that it loses the information about the number of problems in the set. So another option would be 2a. Have columns Select - [select checkbox] Edit Set Data and Problems - SetName (link to set detail page) Number of Problems - # Edit Assigned Users - #/# (link to edit assigned users page) Visible - Yes|No Open Date - MM/DD/YY at TT:TT (link to edit dates) Due Date - (similar) Answer Date - (similar) Danny Glin (U Calgary) pointed out that the behavior of the page is not entirely intuitive, so I thought I'd push this out to a larger list of people to comment. Please respond if you have any opinion.

Hi, I have created a new National Problem Library (and copied the old one into it). It is at cvs -d:ext:you...@cv...:/webwork/cvs/npl co NationalProblemLibrary check that you can download from this repository (and commit to it) Once I'm sure this is functioning I will make the /webwork/cvs/ asu database_problib directory read only. I have changed the directions for downloading the NationalProblemLibrary on the wiki at http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/National_Problem_Library Arnie -- would you change the directions on your install applications as well? Davide -- could you make sure that the /webwork/cvs/npl/ NationalProblemLibrary/Union tree is up to date? Once it is I will make the other repositories read only as well. I have already made rochester_problib, tcnj_problib and other repositories which had been moved under database_problib read only. Let me know if something isn't working. Take care, Mike |

Hi Gavin, The main reason for the "edit selected sets" mode was so that you could edit the dates (the most common change) for several sets at once using copy paste, etc. My suggestion would be to modify the page you reach with "edit selected sets" by adding a link to the page where you could edit the all of the data for that set. Would that help? I personally find the hint about how many problems are in a set useful -- it alerts me to bogus homework sets (no problems) and sometimes even to problems with real homework sets ("I thought I assigned more problems than that ....") My 2 cents. Take care, Mike On Jul 17, 2008, at 2:41 PM, P.

I just ran the checkout command below, and the ".pg" files are ".pg,v". So, file names are slightly different, and they contain versioning information in them.

Hi John, try it again and see if it works for you this time. thanks for helping to debug.

Both checkout and committing a file worked.
