In some cases, the CourseUserLoad service doesn't always identify reported errors so they then don't convery to the staff.

When an existing user comes into Ares through LTI with the role of Instructor, their Ares user type will be set to Instructor only if Ares needs to create the course. If the course already exists, they will be assigned as the instructor but their Ares user type can remain as User.

This may be an opportunity to just remove the "Create" option in favor of instructors just uploading docs or pdf files.

In CreateNewCourse of main.pas, there is code using the FSemester values before the FSemester.Name has been set causing log statements to show invalid start date. The use of FSemester.StartDate and FSemester.StopDate shouldn't be used until FSemester.Name has been set.

Bug# 7394

When the Ares client is opened, it looks like the cursor is focused on the username field, but you are not able to type until you click it again.

Bug# 7604

The #CourseInstructor tag does not correctly load the InstructorDisplayName (although it does correctly write to Instructor). This tag should load a value from the InstructorDisplayName field.

Bug# 7060

When an Instructor or FullProxy creates a course:
- The course's Instructor field is set to the instructor's name (should be left blank)
- They are not assigned as a user for the course

As a result, the instructor receives the following message:
"Your course has been added to Ares. You do not have the authorization to access this course. "

When submitting a message to the Ares message board you can "submit" an empty message without any error message but the message doesn't show up. There is not currently an error message that will pop up if the message or subject fields are left blank.

Bug# 4568

A vulnerability was discovered in the LTI standard that allows people to construct a link which uses the attacker's session and could trick a user into performing actions with the attacker's identity. Atlas is working with Brightspace to ensure Ares accommodates any functional changes Brightspace will be making to combat this vulnerability.

Bug# 4403

Workaround: Redirecting back and forth by clicking another tab will make the button appear since it will prompt the buttons populated on the LTIContentItem.js to become visible in the frame.

Bug# 4402

Even though a user subscribes to an instructors course by toggling the subscription on, if course user loads are performed to add new users then all subscriptions to the course will be deleted. This is because all course users and their subscriptions are being deleted and then re-added during course user loads without any original subscription preferences.

Bug# 4287

Any free text entered into the Ares web pages doesn't follow the HTML formatting when displaying on the web pages. See the attached image for an example of how free text is being formatted.

v4.7
Bug# 4240

Workaround: Replace line 180 in aresajax.js with the following line:
data: { action: 70, type: 785, PickupLocation: pickupLocation, LoanPeriod: $('#LoanPeriod').val() },

Bug#4140

Bug#3601

The show tag editor button is not aligned to float to the right above the Reserve Items table.

To fix the "Show Tag Editor" button so it appears on the right side of the page instead of up against the "Save Item Order" button on the left, add the text below to main.css right below the .float-left entry (default row 978)

.float-right {
float: right;
}
