Message-ID:
If this is a library server, that file should have been generated at
lonsql startup, or at searchcat.pl runs.
The reason it is queried for is that we are starting to monitor the
cluster status, 35.8.63.xxx is a machine in our lab.

Thins I want to do
Big things:
- conditionals
- scantron working
- better units support
- Discussion timeframes, (need parameters on things other than problems)
- numerical problems allowing a greater variety of answers modes (and
better about poorly formatted responses) (I think there are 6 bug
reports about this)
- timed intervals (open for one hour tommorrow)
Small things:
- the chem responses to be advertised
- better (at least click and submit to be seperate
actions)
- revist to get to work better for simple cases, and
to allow multiple correct string (regexps?)
- multiple correct answer support in numerical, organic, and reaction
responses.
- CSTR able to select problem status mode to preview problem
- lonindexer,
- ability to hide some users
- ability to set 'bookmarks'
Wishful thinking:
- support QTI

Hi All,
No there isn't a 1.0.2 needed as of yet, but there are always some
little annoyances that I'd like to fix if something makes us have to
have a 1.0.2, so anyway I have tagged a branch for 1.0.2 and am
starting some backports as requested.
So far 2 things are in the diff
- in should be able to bre course
- edit.pm screwng up stringresponse editing
Let me know if there is anything else that should go.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-dev] Suggestion of new author tool: upload of .ZIP files and unzip it
in the current work directory in the Construction Space area

Hello.
I'm a new user of LON-CAPA, and I don't know many thinks about its
code, but I'm investigating it. now.
In our laboratory, we used another e-learning software called
TELEDUC (http://teleduc.nied.unicamp.br/teleduc/), very good, but it
doesn't bring all the advantages offered by the LON-CAPA.
However, an important feature that is missing in LON-CAPA, and it
exists TELEDUC, is a tool that allows to do upload of several files
compacted in one only .ZIP file, and allow to unzip the .ZIP file in the
server later.
So, when developing a page using some HTML editor like Netscape
Composer, we used compact the file .HTML and << many >> images files
(.GIF, .JPG) in only one .ZIP file. Soon after, through the WEB
interface of TELEDUC, we transfer (upload) the .ZIP file in to the
TELEDUC server. Then, the WEB interface provides a new button that
allows unzip that file in the server and to publish them as a new
Content Page, with the .HTML and images files totally decompressed.
I tried to do the same task in LON-CAPA, but it doesn't present this
resource. So I needed to do upload of file by file, using the tool
Construction Space, and that is a annoying task (upload file by file...).
I know that I can use SSH file transfer or Samba, but It's difficult
to teach all this thinks to a Geography teacher, for example, that
usually don't know and don't like computer a lot. And another advantage
is that we don't need to open smb and ssh ports to every author. He can
do all this thinks through http server, in a much more secure way, using
the simple and easy Construction Space tool of LON-CAPA.
Then I would like to propose to the LON-CAPA development, to create
a new tool in the Construction Space area of LON-CAPA, that allows to
upload a .ZIP file, and automatically unzip it into the server. Or
alternatively, a tool that allows to upload of a whole paste with many
files at the same time (like select many files in Windows Explorer using
Shift key), without the need of currently file by file upload tool
available today in LON-CAPA.
I saw in the TELEDUC code
that the function responsible for unzip the .ZIP file in the server
after the upload is implemented in PHP. The PHP code is more or less
like this:
/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * *
DescompactarArquivoZip function - Unzip compressed cribs.
Input: $zip - path and name of the zip cribs
$destination - destination path to unzip
Output: true i all ok
* /
function DescompactarArquivoZip ($zip,$destination)
{
$command = " unzip -q -o \"". $zip ". \ " -d \"". $destination ". \"";
system($command,$status);
CreateIndexFile ($destination);
SetPermissions($destination);
return (! $status);
}
So, I think it's not difficult to insert an equivalent function in
LON-CAPA code, not in PHP, but in perl, the main LON-CAPA language. It
would be enough to add a button in the Construction Space area to allow
the upload of .ZIP files. After the upload, the system of the LON- CAPA
will be able to automatically unzip the file in the current work
directory of Construction Space area, or to show a new option for the
.ZIP file that allows unzip it into the server, to be published later.
I await suggestions to implement this new tool. And sorry for my
poor English.
Thanks,
Ricardo Luis Kulzer.

Ricardo,
Thank you very much for your input. There is actually a bug report
regarding ZIP files, see
http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659
I have changed the milestone on that enhancement request to "1.1" - I
had similar experiences trying to teach faculty about having to upload
ALL files associated with an HTML file.
If you open an account on Bugzilla, you can put yourself on the cc-list
of the above bug to see what happens.
Please let us know if you would like your machine connected to a
cluster.
- Gerd.
