  2. Web DLL Item Search queries have ambiguous access counts

    The ItemSearch queries in the DLL join access counts for 2 different purposes in the DLL. In student mode the icon to indicate if the user has reviewed the item or not is based on usage statistics (and requires AnonymousUsageStatistics to be disabled). The usage count in the search is also enabled when displaying the Items available for cloning if the CloneItemsRequireUsage custkey is greater than 0.

    Log into Ares Web as an instructor.
    Go to the full proxy page & Enter the instructor's username as the proxy to add.
    Click the Add button

    Confirmed that the client does not allow staff to add a full proxy of the instructor that is currently being viewed. The search results excludes the current instructor username.

  4. Sorting course items in the web with the mouse requires an additional click outside of the field dropdown.

    n the web interface, go to the course home of a course with several items. Using your mouse, select a field in the SortBy dropdown. The list of items will not reload/resort until you click on something outside of the dropdown.

    This is because the sort event on the dropdown was changed from onchange to onblur because navigating through the dropdown options with a keyboard raises the onchange event every time they cursor down or up, causing the page to reload with that option, making this feature unusable from the keyboard.

  5. The IItemDelete page should be removed from new installs

  8. The RSS Channel Title and Channel Descriptions do not allow for static text

    Currently the RSSCourseItemsChannelDescription and RSSCourseItemsChannelTitle are customization keys that support Course table fields. When the TagProcessor proccesses the values if there is no match for a tag, it is not returning the original input. Currently the 2 keys must contain a <#Courses.Field> or the custom display text will not appear.

  9. The Alert Status Area in the Ares web pages will overlap the tables on the main menu.

    Because the text input elements in the column headers have a fixed size, the table can expand beyond its normal are and be overlapped by the sidebar.

  10. PasswordHint should be modified to show as a required field on NewUserRegistration.html

    PasswordHint is seeded in WebValidation for new installs to be a required field on NewUserRegistration. The NewUserRegistration.html page should be updated to indicate the Password Hint field is required. This bug was discovered when researching the automatic clearance email feature from Ares 4.6.

  14. When exporting course information to a spreadsheet from the web, a blank worksheet is focused instead of the course details.

    The spreadsheets are created with three worksheets - Details, Items, and Sheet3. Sheet3 is focused and blank, which may cause confusion for customers.

  15. Personal tags are visible for items in courses that a user is no longer enrolled in

    Be sure to address the question if there is any need to preserve tags if the site does not allow authorization to a course and the user can find the item is accessible via searches.

  16. The calendar widget in the Ares webpages uses deprecated javascript functions.

    The Xin Calendar 2 (xc2*.js files) widget makes calls to document.routeEvent() in two places. This function has been deprecated for a while now and was recently removed from Firefox altogether. Even so, the calendar still seems to be working correctly, aside from the errors that are raised in the javascript console.

  18. A course's semester is read-only in the web but is displayed in a dropdown that indicates it can be changed.

    I think that not allowing instructors to change a course's semester makes sense, and the issue seems to be the misleading appearance of editability.

  19. The <#ITEM field='BuildURL'> tag used to return an empty string if the field was irrelevant to that item.

    The <#ITEM field='BuildURL'> tag used to return an empty string if the field was irrelevant to that item, but this led to blank spaces with back to back pipes.
    The <#ITEM field='BuildURL'> tag always returns link text now, which may alter some pages that relied on it returning an empty string when the item's link URL was not relevant.

  20. Empty ListItemID values give an error in the flagged requests list

    Repro Steps
    1. Click on a list of Flagged Requests.
    2. Any empty ListItemIDs are tripping the InvalidCastException catch

    We can fix the problem by changing the if rowCellValue != null to if rowCellValue as(T) != null, so that the casting happens before we attempt to add it to the list.
