File Name	Proposed Addition/Modification
qz_win_ques_list.cfm	Added an Export Question Pool link to this page. Limited to code where mode=question, since this same list box is used for questions and quizzes under various pages. Code modifications include adding a link with JavaScript function exportPool() to open a new window as "qz_quiz_exportxml.cfm?quizID=0&export=questionPool" where no data is passed through the url.
qz_col_title.cfm	Added the Export Collection link. Limited to code for editing an existing collection. Code modifications include adding a link with JavaScript function export_collection() to open a new window as "qz_quiz_exportxml.cfm?quizID=0&export=collection&collectionid=#collectionid#" so that the collection id is passed via the url.
qz_quiz_properties.cfm	Modified Export Quiz url to add export="quiz"
qz_quiz_exportxml.cfm	Modified export instructions on this display page to reflect whether the export is a quiz, question pool or collection. Added total number of questions, Download Pool button, and output for media files.
qz_quiz_exportxml.cfc	Separated out section functions from question functions. getSectionArray populates the section array from quiz data while setSectionArray populates the section array with sectionid=0 and name="Default". The section array is then fed into setSectionData for attaching items and their parameters for delivery to the xml file generation page. Added several functions specific to qpools and collections plus a media function. Modified certain functions where query output passed into a "where variable in ()" clause might exceed 1000 records due to Oracle limits.
qz_quiz_exportxmldoc.cfm	This file generates the downloadable xml file for a quiz/assessment. This file will be modified Modified file by adding logic based on quizid and export url values to determine which function calls (quiz, question pool, or collection) will be made. Modified the xml file generation to allow question pool or collection data to be delivered in the same downloadable xml format.
qz_quiz_exportfiles.cfm	The export media code is being developed at the same time and is an active link on qz_quiz_exportxml.cfm, so it needs to be released concurrently, even though the test plan will be separate.

Info

title	Useful Information

After struggling with multiple non-standard ascii issues, I discovered this ColdFusion code for dealing with the issue at http://www.octadyne.com/html_entity_acsii_table.cfm. Wrapping this function around user generated text solved the invalid xml issues I was running into.

Code Review

Brian Donnelly, or another qualified member of the MyUCDavis team, will perform code review on these file changes.

QA Testing

A test document Question Pool Export Test Plan will be created to allow testers to step through the expected new feature behaviour and function results. Export question pools will be tested as a stand-alone feature and the same test will be used when all parts of the MyUCDavis-Samigo quiz/question pool migration features are accessible. The separate tests for each process encompass the test plan.
