[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 660762] Re: Collection and Plans descriptions should have WYSIWYG editor
An issue here is that the collection description only seems to be shown in the Collections list. In the equivalent list for Views, HTML tags are stripped out and the description is displayed as plain text - the only time the description is displayed with formatting is when you're viewing the page. As far as I can tell the collection description isn't displayed in the same way, so allowing HTML wouldn't have any effect (you wouldn't be able to see the formatted text anywhere). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Thus, to be consistent, Collections and Plans should also have a WYSIWYG editor. Additionally, the task descriptions in a plan should also get the visual editor. At some point we had talked about allowing admins (if possible institution admins) to decide whether to allow a visual editor or not. I can't find such a setting right now, but thought it is somewhere.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1453632] Re: Skins break on major version upgrade
Hi Gregor, That's a good point. The CSS identifiers don't change that often. Though they do occasionally change. In Mahara 15.04 we're rewriting the whole front end to use the Bootstrap CSS framework, so there may well be some big changes coming. Perhaps what we should do, is add additional classes specifically as a "handle" for skins? But yeah, this might be useful to discuss at the next dev meeting. I'll add it to the agenda.

This means that skins will break when you do a major version upgrade (unless the skin author edits the skin to be compatible with the new version). And that could provide quite a disincentive for people to upgrade their Mahara site. I'm not sure what the best solution for this problem is, so I'm opening this bug partly to discuss the issue.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 853662] Re: Use newer and flashier graphing framework to generate graphs in Mahara
I too think that JQPlot will be a good way to go for rendering graphs - looks simple enough to code for and the documentation is good. However, one of the big things with the graphs that mahara currently displays is the complexity/slowness to generate the data for the graphs in the first place. In the past the mahara system would run cron jobs to generate the data and then generate the resultant graphs as an image file all in one step so that later the system could call these images to display on page load. If we are to make the graph generator be a javascript one then we should probably still generate the data via crons for the existing graphs and then save that data into a table so that JQPlot (or whatever) can call the JSON formatted data via ajax on page load. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1453632] Re: Skins break on major version upgrade
If my memory serves correctly then skins (if we dont take the "Advanced" tab into consideration) are only dependant on some small subset of CSS classes. How often do these CSS class names change? Introductiong version compatibility number is definitely one way to go, but what to do next during the upgrade process is a bit blurred at the moment - might be a good thing to talk about in the DEV meeting... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
