She later discovered that she was STILL logged in as the student (from the previous day), and was leaving comments as the student, not as herself! I suspect the faculty member didn't log the student off properly the day before, or there was a cache problem with her browser. If there was an indication in the window of who she was logged in as, this problem could have been avoided.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 897439] Re: Need identity plate when viewing Pages
Hello again! We've installed this patch on our staging server and I tested it out. Unfortunately, I don't think the change addressed the issue. Here is what I found, please correct me if I'm wrong. This was true before the fix, and is still true: The logged in user's Profile Site Block is visible at the top of the right-hand column, clearly indicating who is logged in and provides access to their Profile. This is true for all areas of their Portfolio EXCEPT when they were viewing or editing a Page. When viewing (their Page own or another user's Page), or editing their own Page, the Profile Site Block is not visible. The only way to know how you are logged in, is to hover-over the Portfolio link in the top-left of the page to reveal a breadcrumb link trail, which includes the logged in user's name. After the fix: The fix added the logged in user's name to the same pages that already display the Profile Site Block visible. This seems to just add a redundant element to those pages. I do not see such an identity plate when viewing or editing a Page in the Portfolio, which is where I believe it is needed. I guess, a simple (though perhaps non-elegant) solution is to make that breadcrumb trail un-hidden? I propose that we un-committ this fix, and revisit it. I am happy to provide more ideas/help from the user's perspective! PS: I also noticed that the very helpful Created By title is omitted from the top of the window when viewing a Collection, whereas is it visible when viewing individual Pages. Should I create a separate feature request for this? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897439 Title: Need identity plate when viewing Pages Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Fix Committed Bug description: This is a feature request.

Hello Sean, When I viewed an earlier iterration I think the name was displayed on the pages that didn't have the profile block. So maybe it was a slight miscommunication as another developer had taken over. There is already a bug for the missing author information for collections: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/897057 and it's being worked on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897439 Title: Need identity plate when viewing Pages Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Fix Committed Bug description: This is a feature request.
