• GR.pm: Add an "all" argument to generate_select()
• action_section.cgi: Remove the separate "view all assignment types" section, and instead add "all" to the general types menu.
• view_grades_section.cgi: If the type sent in is "all", set it to "" so that it pulls up all types under Tony's scheme of null=all.

SCALE 1997

SCALE 1997

• gr/add_multiple_assignments.cgi: Rewrote the utility to add multiple single-component assignments. One change: single written components now are given the name "Part #1". Not the best. Shouldn't need a name at all but it's better than inheriting the name of the entire assignment, maybe.
• gr/print_edit_assignments_menu.cgi: Rewrote to call the above new program.

alpha

SCALE 1997

• GR.pm: Added boobytrap routine, also debugs (commented out) in the print_assignment_detail() method.
• gr/record_grades_group.cgi: Added boobytrap (if we save a null, record that information to a file "boobytrap" in the course home and also mail it to me).
• gr/record_grades_login.cgi: Added boobytrap
• gr/record_grades_section.cgi: Added boobytrap

alpha

SCALE 1997

• GR.pm: In generate_histogram(), to get the color for a bar, mod the current bin number by the number of colors, not bins. Also fixed a small (non-fatal) typo in the boobytrap.

alpha

SCALE 1997

• warnings/nowarnings.html: Fixed typo.

SCALE 1997

• gr/enter_grades_section.cgi: Changed -5 to -4 in the javascript "fill in all entries" loop. Apply the check if the grade is greater than max to the "fill in all entries" blanks, and also changed the wording of the confirm box that comes up when the grade IS greater than the maximum points.
• gr/print_generate_stats_menu.cgi: Changed the select_all() javascript to account for the fact that the two submit and reset buttons at the top take up space in the form.elements[] array.
• gr/enter_grades_group.cgi: Changed -3 to -2 in the javascript "fill in all entries" loop for similar reasons as above.

alpha

SCALE 1997

• gr/record_grades_group.cgi: Removed the bad meta-refresh to the nonexistent gr.cgi page.

alpha

SCALE 1997

• gr/print_configure_groups_menu.cgi: Javascript function update() should not be recursive. Also, apparently you cannot call form.reset() from inside an event handler on an element inside that form. Instead, I'm unclicking the boxes explicitly. Finally, make sure that when the page first comes up, the people in group 0 are selected.

Improved the exclusion notices to first give sections, then give users separately. List the excluded users by name (rather than login), since you choose them by name.

alpha

SCALE 1997

SCALE 1997

alpha

SCALE 1997

alpha

SCALE 1997

• gr/print_edit_assignments_menu.cgi: Modified the delete assignment section to delete multiple_assignments.
• gr/delete_assignments.cgi: New utility to delete multiple assignments. NO error checking, should definitely be fleshed out later!

alpha

SCALE 1997

• material.cgi: Print the dev_navigator bar if the user has DEV access and the referer is either edit_material.cgi or edit_material_.cgi. Note that this is somewhat less than optimal because if you come to the material from ITSELF while "trying" it, once referer turns into material.cgi (like when you answer an example question) from that point the navigator bar is gone.

alpha

SCALE 1997

• browser_home.cgi: Reduced amount of bold face in quizzes area. Much of it must remain bold though simply because those things ARE headers. Quizzes just have more headers than the other items - there's more we can do with them!
