Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Two new ideas for improving Share Resources Activity Tool

> 1. The ability to have Instructions on Share Resources can be formatted using the Rich-Text Editor (e.g. you need to write maths ...).

Indeed! With the new CKEditor we are adding to LAMS 2.4, this will be a walk in the park.

The main big advantage of the CKEditor upgrade is that it loads itself only once and then applies to all textareas. In the odl FCKEditor, each textarea loaded its own so that's why it took a long time to load and was generally very slow to respond.

We'll be adding HTML online editors pretty much everyone in LAMS 2.4. Including the Instructions page.

See http://bugs.lamsfoundation.org/browse/LDEV-2585

Thanks,

Ernie

That's good news. When do you plan to release LAMS 2.4 next May or earlier?

I hope to include the idea about an activity tool which combine Share Resources and Q & A

I hope it will be earlier. We'll have to see. It's a bit of a job as there's quite a few important upgrades (ie: jboss5, CKEditor, etc).

If I remember correctly parallel activities should not be too difficult to put together. So It should be alright for 2.4

Thanks Spyros,

Ernie
