[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 620161] Re: Distinction between Name and Profile not clear
I would not introduce a larger font. We don't do that anywhere on Mahara. Right now it looks though as if we did not align the picture correctly because the bold text appears above. Could you please left- align it with the image so that it just starts above the image? Do you link to the edit page for the profile page? I think I would prefer that instead of the display of the profile page so that they don't have to take the extra step of clicking on Edit because we want them to go to the edit screen when they need to arrange content. We used to have the View profile in the tab and it was not ideal. I would not put it in the tabs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/620161 Title: Distinction between Name and Profile not clear Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Triaged Bug description: I still have trouble clicking on the correct link and think and adjustment may be necessary.

Public bug reported: Note from Felicia Berryman on bug 547394 My institution would like to be able to offer students the ability to add certified artifacts.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 722497] [NEW] Place non-author content, e.g. merit badges, on a page
Public bug reported: On MyPortfolio we had the enquiry about having merit badges displayed on a student's page / profile. As these should not be tampered with by the student, the enquiry / wishlist item is similar to bug 722495 as it boils down to giving somebody else besides the page owner some control over artefacts placed on a page. My suggestion for a solution that is open for discussion: Thank you for your suggestion with the Merit Badges. I think they would be a good addition. However, the not be able to tamper with part is tricky because Mahara / MyPortfolio puts the student in the centre and s/he is the author of all her / his pages. A teacher or administration cannot put anything on a page that a student can't remove as he doesn't have the authority on the student's pages. Thus, introducing such badges for profile pages is not a simple thing to do. At the moment, the only way I can see this work, besides Craig's suggestion with the electronic verification [of a PDF file à la Moodle], would be to develop a database in which each institution admin can store merit, sports etc. badges (would it be important to categorise them?). He would then have an area on the student account page where he can add the badges the student has earned over time. On the edit page screen, the student would have a new blocktype, e.g. under General, Badges, which s/he can pull into the content area. That would work not just for the profile page but for any personal page on MyPortfolio so that he could also include the badges on a CV page. If the bages are categorised, s/he can choose which badge categories to display (if that is necessary). The badges are all displayed as thumbnails or in a series to scroll through like in the image gallery. As the student cannot choose the badges individually, but displays them from the central institution database, they are as tamper-safe as can be because even when the student allows the copying of that page, the badge block would display the badges of the student who copies the page into her / his portfolio as the block would always display the current student's badges. ** Affects: mahara Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722497 Title: Place non-author content, e.g. merit badges, on a page Status in Mahara ePortfolio: New Bug description: On MyPortfolio we had the enquiry about having merit badges displayed on a student's page / profile.

Basic Idea:Add another tick box similar to the Allow Copying tick box which is called Allow Editing. This allows all people who can access the view the same editing rights as I have myself. More complex idea: It would be even better if I could configure whether editing is possible or not - allowing some individual members to edit but not others. You might say that I could facilitate this functionality by using group views for each invidividual member but it would be nicer in certain contexts to allow editing of views I own myself. A case scenario for this would be in the delivery of NVQs in the UK. A candidate and an assessor/trainer could collaboratively edit a view containing a progress tracking table in a text box. This view could then be submitted to a course group for assessment in the same way as other views representing untis of their qualification. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : mahara-contributors@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 655631] Re: Forum post downloads should be publicly available in a public forum
Planning to fix this using the attached patch. First, whenever a forum post is saved, it'll use a basic regex to add the post id as a query parameter into any download links inside the post body, so wwwroot/artefact/file/download.php?file=77 would become wwwroot/artefact/file/download.php?file=77post=88. Then in download.php, it tries to check all the appropriate permissions (the user can see the post, the post author owns (or is allowed to publish) the artefact, the artefact id is in the post body). I hope it's fairly solid, but it's easy to overlook stuff when doing this kind of thing, so it'd be great if someone else could take a look at it and try to think of ways a user could gain access to an artefact they shouldn't be able to see. ** Patch added: bug655631.patch https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/655631/+attachment/1864995/+files/bug655631.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655631 Title: Forum post downloads should be publicly available in a public forum Status in Mahara ePortfolio: In Progress Bug description: In a public forum (such as the mahara community forum), posts are readable when users are not logged in.
