2007-02-08

• New feature: Added a Recent Activity section to the Segue home page that shows a dashboard view (sorted by recent first) with Recent Discussions on all sites of a given users as well as on all content blocks a given user has added. Recent Activity also shows all sites ordered by those the user has most recently edited with links to the most recent content. (Alex Chapin)
• New feature: Redesigned Segue home page (default.inc.php) so that all sections except Current Classes can be shown or hidden and by default are set to hidden so as to speed up the loading of home pages and to allow users to decide what sites they want to display (Alex Chapin)
• New feature: Added a "custom css" theme that allows users to have full control over the style sheet for their site. (Adam Franco)
• Change: Added view source to discussion version of HTML editor (Alex Chapin)

Version 1.5.3

2006-06-08

• Change: Added the gsp mime type for files created with Geometer's sketchpad. (Alex Chapin)
• Change: Changed how RSS feed links are displayed in the pop up window for more RSS. Specifically added RSS icon and made the description of the RSS feed the link to that RSS feed. (Alex Chapin)
• Change: Added the text RSS to the right of the RSS icon for the link to page RSS. As well added the RSS icon to the left of the more RSS link for additional RSS feeds. (Alex Chapin)
• Change: There has been a problem with inadvertant session-hijacking. This is caused when a user (with cookies diabled and the PHP Session ID passed in their URL) copy/pastes a Segue url containing the session ID into an email or external website. When students (or others click on that link, they are now using the session with the id specified in the url. Multiple users clicking such a link would all end up using the same session, causing login/logout actions of one user to apply to state of all users who clicked that link. As there is no technological trick in PHP that would allow the continued passing of the Session ID in the URL without this problem, Segue will now force the use of cookies for authenticated users. (Adam Franco)
• Change: Changed display of sections with single pages. Specifically, when a section has only one page, a sidebar link is still created. (this change undoes a new feature introduced in version 1.5 whereby sections with only one page would not display a link to that page in the left sidebar). To avoid confusion as well as inform users of options, when a section has only one page, a note is displayed at the top of the sidebar indicating the section has only one page and a link is provided to change the section display settings to hide the sidebar. (Alex Chapin)
• New feature: Added section display options. Specifically added a display option to hide sidebars. When this option is selected, both the left and right sidebars are hidden and if the section has more than one page, links are displayed to the previous and next pages. If this section setting to hide sidebars is turned on, then a note is displayed at the top of each sidebar indicated this and a link is provided to change the section display settings to show the sidebar.

• Change: Content blocks without titles display a link to their detail view (i.e. unique URL) to the right of attribution and timestamp display (this link used to display above attribution display). This means that the url for a given content block without a title will be displayed only if attribution/timestamp is set to display and/or discussion/assessment is enabled and/or there is extended content. (content blocks with titles use the title itself as the unique link for that content block) (Alex Chapin)

• *** IMPORTANT *** Change: The semester-handling changes involve new config options if upgrading from Segue 1.2.x or earlier.

When text content blocks are saved to database the $cfg[uploadurl] and $sitename portions of Media Library file urls (i.e. entire url except filename) are converted to a placeholder (i.e. unique string). When text content blocks are displayed or edited (i.e. fetched from database), the url placeholder is converted back to actual current media file url (based on current $cfg[uploadurl] and site name.

• New feature: #957605 Added user registration UI that appears in public discussions when posts are made without authentication. User registration UI requires unauthenticated users to submit their name and email address when posting to public discussions. Email address in user registration UI is checked against email addresses in user table. In addition, their is a new config option for specifying emails that cannot be registered as visitor (these would be emails address that are set up for an institution' users and part of their user account and authentication. Segue user accounts are created for users who register this way and these users are sent an email with their username (=email address) and a auto- generated password. These users are visitor usertypes. (Alex Chapin)

This new functionality will allow the discussion/assessment UI to function as an assignment/assessment dropbox. (Alex Chapin)
