10-23-2006 and 10-30-2006 week (Kapil and Lucy):

1. Meeting on monday tasks:
   1. In eval_assign_course table make instructor_view_results and student_view_results both 'true' by default (this is need by Columbia). Also, add a column called 'sakai_site_id' in this table. This column is basically has foreign key to the courses.
   2. Instead of Javascript validations use BeanGuards from www.springframework.org/docs/reference/validation.html (See the note in each page where validation needed separately).
   3. Drop the user_courses table as both users and courses are picked from Sakai.
      1. Note 1: To setup the Hibernate Configuration you need to refer to ReadMe in api/model/src/java.
      2. Note 2: When you delete a A.hbm.xml file you need to remove references from following 6 places: (a) Delete the A.hbm.xml, (b) Delete A.java, (c) Remove entry from impl/dao/src/test/hibernate-test.xml, (d) Remove entry from /impl/pack/src/webapp/WEB-INF/hibernate-hbms.xml, (e) Remove entry from /impl/pack/src/webapp/WEB-INF/spring-hibernate.xml (f) Modify Hibernate console configuration (refer to the Readme.txt pointed in the Note1 above).
   4. For sending email we need details of users in a course. So from SITE API get list of users. Then from USER API get details of each user. - MOVED TO NEXT WEEK.
   5. In the email templates (both Available and Reminder) remove Course Id. For creating deeplink refer to the email from Tony.
   6. For actual sending email refer to the Email API (Email Service class).- MOVED TO NEXT WEEK.
   7. In the preview evaluation page we need to show the course related questions separately and instructor related questions separately. So need to go through the User API for this (looks a little fuzzy).
   8. Also, note that student and instructor have different views in the preview eval page. That is information about 'who added this question' is visible to instructors and not to students. Thus, how do we know whether the person is a student or an instructor. We need to go to auth_api for this. See the code in RSF Plus class written by Aaron and method 'canWriteItem' where there is if-else construct. More details are:Call getGroups in AutzGroup class. Then from the group get the users who have access. This is a little fuzzy. You first need to create 4 roles (as below) from admin console and look up the code pointed above: - MOVED TO NEXT WEEK.
      1. Create template
      2. Assign template / evaluation

   6. Pick the email template from database and show it on PreviewEmail page. Also show on ModifyEmailTemplate page (both for Available and Reminder).

4. Update RSF jars

   6. Email reminder dropdown mennu should select 2nd option for the first time
   7. Pass tempalteId from ModifyTemplate page( when click the Begin Evalaution link )to StartEval page, and binding to evaluation bean

      1. Filter out the Admin Workspace.
      2. Move code for fetching site from EvaluationBean to logic layer.
   2. Accessing 'site' in Producer is bad (Site, Authz and Entity API's). Make hashmap in logic and send.

8. Miscellaneous tasks (IMPORTANT)
   1. On the summary page make the link disabled if no templates available.
      1. logic file: check if there is any template or not

      6. Remove dummy the links from Summary page.
