Assignments
- 7-2-08 nw sak-8589 - there are still problems downloading/uploading assignments/attachments/comments/etc. the upload page has a number of checkboxes which don't reflect reality, as even if you check them the appropriate data is not being imported. plus, in my testing, submissions had attachments which weren't downloaded. I seem to remember this being the case as there were problems with the upload. so if the function has been disabled the checkbox should be removed. additionally, if there were submissions, I got an error window that said "there is already a file with the same name you specified. specify a different name...submission attachments" the same number of times as there were attachments. I added comments to the feedback.txt file which were not uploaded. and there's still the problem w/uploading grades.csv and the grades, status don't reflect the changes. I couldn't figure out how to attach IOR feedback attachments from the downloaded files...but didn't spend forever trying to do it. you need to use Word or HTML editor to add comments to the students' FCK submissions, but you lose images. I think a plain text editor won't work well. maybe faculty already know this?
I think a lot of these problems are also in 2.4, so to me they haven't been corrected. I'd also remove the non-functional checkboxes from the import page.
7-28-08 nw note - the file w/same name error above happens when Vista default unzip program is used. it makes files instead of folders for the submission attachments and IOR feedback attachments. if I use 7-zip I get appropriate folders.

Gradebook
...
- The following error occurs when I try to submit final grades to Final Grade Submission:
.-->myCourseList is empty, this is a problem: 200810-83385,83386,83387-1430915 by SMS 7/8/2008. This was a data error for Final Grade Submission. SmartSite's Gradebook's interface with Final Grade Submission passed 7/10/2008. - 7-11-08 nw I CAN create GB items with the same name and point value. see sak-2007 for sites where I did it and an example of how. as/test plan, you should get an error message if you try to create an item with the same name as an existing item.
- 7-11-08 nw from any page in GB, the ? does not open the help window with GB info. it's the technical support page. you can then access GB info from the left window. both browsers. maybe the help files have not yet been updates/migrated to -test??

QA re-testing of WebDAV on NG server results in Pass.
Using PC Windows XP SP3 Firefox 2.0.0.15 & IE 7 on:
UCD NG SERVER
SmartSite@UCDavis - [sakai_2-5-x-test-005] - Sakai 2.5.x-R48531 - Server mario.
QA TEST PLAN:
1) Create WebDAV access on the NG server.
2) Test WebDAV IAW SAK-1097: QA Test for Resources-WebDAV issues reported by user.
QA RESULTS:
1) Now able to create WebDAV access to site WLC 120 001 FQ 2008 on the NG server.
2) Basic functionality verified, Pass, with notes.
Note # 1: Change of local file or folder names on SmartSite does not immediately change the corresponding names on Web DAV and vice-versa. Use care when changing names and refresh as appropriate.
Note # 2: Automatic resetting folder permissions to the standard default settings would seem to be an appropriate security feature, in that excessive permissions might result when changing file names otherwise. Use caution when making folder changes after altering permissions and verify customized permission settings after other changes are made.
QA COMMENTS:
Recommendations:
1) Be cautious about changing folder and file names, especially after permissions have been customized.
2) Verify customized permission settings after other changes are made.
3) WebDAV appears to fully sync up with SmartSite only after signing out completely and then signing back into the WebDAV access via Network Places.

Tests and Quizzes (Samigo)
All issues basically resolved except the confusing export feature
- Test and Quizzes suffers a major failure when trying to import quizzes and assessment pools.
- 7-2-08 nw sak-3943 IOR is supposed to be able to change feedback settings after an assessment is published. I have to fail this on the -ng server because it doesn't work. however it DOES work on our 2.4 -test server and on the indiana 2.5 server. so the initial problem has been corrected but the -ng server does not reflect the change.
- 7-3-08 nw sak-5419 re:export assessment w/attachments in QTI v1.2 and content packaging (=zip) and import assessment. never mind the attachments, I couldn't get import to work! exported assessment w/images, sounds, RTE text. seemed to work as I did get an .xml file or a zipped folder. import failed at every attempt, in firefox and ie7, on different sites, multiple attempts. got unexpected error/bug report page every time.
- 7-3-08 nw sak-6993 attempting to import XML compliant assessment into question pool from QP page fails as above. there is a new feature that allows an assessment to be copied into a pool from the specific assessment page, which works. but as the JIRA said import that's what I tried. sak-8642 also refers to importing into a question pool (specifically using a text saved in Word using save as xml). didn't check as obviously import into t&q is having a problem
- 7-7-08 nw our sak-2064 tested import on Indiana 2.5 server. I CAN import an assessment (xml format ONLY) on this server. BUT if there are links to images, etc they appear to function correctly in IOR view but NOT for student taking the assessment. the links would have to be updated after importing the assessment for the test to function correctly. verified that I still get an error message on -ng server when attempting to import assessment. I do.
- 7-8-08 nw tadaaaaaaaaaaaa. our sak-2064 (see sak-6993 and -5419 above) today I CAN export and import an assessment (ok...it's a short and simple one) as an assessment AND as a question pool from the question pool page. so it appears Thomas got this problem fixed. note that I only exported as QTI-xml format. import does not support content packaging (=zip), even though it is an export option.
- 7-8-08 nw tadaaaaaaaaaaa. our sak-2067 (see -3943 above) now the IOR CAN change feedback settings after an assessment has been published.
