Non-critical Tasks

  1. (info) debug: EvalStart page only show public template (it should include private template)

  4. the radio button of the first template need to selected by default for Start Eval Page
  5. Create a include file for preview_eval.html and take_eval.html.
  6. Actual sending email:
    1. logic, functionality-- Actual sending email
      1. get siteID
      2. get UserInfo, get userEmail
      3. use EmailService to send email
    2. 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.
    3. For actual sending email refer to the Email API (Email Service class).
  7. On settings page if you use Cancel button several times...sometime something goes wrong.
  8. If you remove items randomly many times you get null pointer in remove producer because of some N/A not set in template Bean (seem to be fixed but need more robust testing).
  9. Improvement: move the setScale to logic layer and clean it more.
  10. Add a comment question to all evaluations (use system setting to determine this)
  11. In EvaluationDAOImpl.java see why DetachedCriteria not working.
  12. Resolve bug: Item page check box "N/A" not value binding correctly when "preview" button was clicked before "save" button clicked
  13. Resolve bug: Item Page radio button group "category" not value binding correctly when "preview" button was clicked before "save" button clicked
  14. In assign eval page: Javascript checks on the HTML page (to be done by BeanGuards).
  15. In eval settings page: Javascript checks on the HTML page (to be done by BeanGuards), Calendar should be deferred for a while...it would be supplied by Antraing.
  16. Also, we would use date widgets so don't worry about all this. Use dates wigets by Antranig (see this attached file which is transcript of chat with Antraing
