Patched in original work on SPWS.

Last week I finished patching in the original work I did on SPWS (bodington_2_1_1_rc4_SPWS branch), onto the current version of WebLearn, which is also on it's own branch (branch_WebLearn_copyUI). The points below encapsulate what this was:

  • was only enabled for logbooks.
  • from within a logbook you can choose to export (copy) it to the 'best practice area' (a specially designated area of the site labelled as such!).
  • user enters 'copy mode' (via use of HttpSession variable).
  • brings up another view of Bodington / WebLearn within a new window.
  • affordance of suitable destinations is offered via annotations on the corresponding resources, e.g. suitable rooms, suites, etc are marked with a radio button.
  • the user can execute the copy by selecting a resource and pressing the 'Copy' button.
  • if successful, user exits 'copy' mode.
There are many parts of the implementation that I was always unhappy with and the requirements have now changed, but hopefully having performed the above shouldn't prejudice proceedings too much; I needed to start somewhere! What these new requirements are, what I intended to remove, what I intend to add I am going to capture in the WebLearn wiki, which will be linked to from there and more precisely in forthcoming posts.
