Re: Names displaying in course participants

Aaron, Yes, the CourseMember name need to be set, otherwise, the constructor set the name value to be null. Also please take a look at SAK-5681, I think you still need the fix for your problem. Thanks, - Zhen On Aug 5, 2006, at 7:49 AM, Aaron Zeckoski wrote: John, You might be on to something but I am working off of trunk and my most recent update was yesterday morning. I did notice that I am not setting the name in CourseMember but I thought someone told me that was not needed. Here is the code where I set the CourseMember: CourseMember cm = new CourseMember(); cm.setUniqname((String)membership.get("userid")); // this should be username cm.setId((String)membership.get("userid")); // this should be like student id cm.setCredits((String)membership.get("credits")); cm.setRole((String)membership.get("role")); cm.setProviderRole((String)membership.get("role")); cm.setCourse((String)membership.get("courseid")); cm.setSection(courseId); // this should show the section id (CRN normally) I don't do getName because I thought it was handled elsewhere but maybe it isn't. Anyone know whether that is required or not? -AZ On 8/4/06 7:14 PM, "John Leasia" <jleasia@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Maybe it is http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-5681 We were seeing something similar (I think - your snapshot didn't display the bottom part of Site Info where the users are listed).

Instead of the name, I am seeing $participantName. This seems to only exist in the site-manage velocity templates so I am guessing there might be a bug there but maybe I did something wrong with one of my providers.

Parsing User Preferences

Hello, Are there utility methods for parsing/retrieving the user preferences from the PreferencesService? If not, are there any docs for the currently possible rules? I'm mostly referring to the site tabs on/off and ordering: sakai:portal:sitenav -> order siteid1 siteid2 exclude siteid3 etc Thanks, Steve ---------------------- This automatic notification message was sent by Sakai Collab (https://collab.sakaiproject.org//portal) from the DG: Development site.

Future Release Plans for Melete & JForum

Colleagues - Just a quick update on future development work planned by the ETUDES Project team at Foothill. Attached please find two ppt presentations outlining planned releases for Melete AND one for JForum. I designed the slides on the plane on various recent trips, so they are not as polished as they could be. But, I wanted to get these out to you and give you a visual representation of the user requirements (also listed on our respective tool project web pages). -- Melete 3.0 is a major release and won't be out until June of 2007. Melete 3.1 will follow in the fall. -- Due to the big gap between now and Melete 3.0, we decided to put out a smaller release early this fall to tackle a few critical requirements to satisfy user needs, and then focus on 3.0 fully. Melete 2.3 will be out on September 15, 2006. See: http://etudesproject.org/melete_features.htm -- JForum 2.3 will focus primarily on IMS import/export of 'tagged' topics. It will also be out some time this fall.

RE: Jforum - plans for group support?

Yes, Dave - we do plan on integrating Sakai's support with JForum. JForum HAS its own support for groups right now (Manage >> Groups and then assign users to the custom groups you design), but it is clumsy and difficult to manage (both workflow and UI). I think we cover this in our tutorial (available in IMS CP as a Melete module), if you can't figure it out. Because we plan on integrating Sakai's groups with JForum, we don't even introduce Jorum's built-in groups to faculty in our training. Having said that, it'll be a while before this is implemented. IMS CP import/Export is first (this fall) and peer reviews and grading of participation in the spring. I am pretty sure it will be at the top of the list after that....
