I am testing this on practice.oncourse.iu.edu and am finding the procedure confusing. I am in Site Setup and click on "Import from Site". That takes me to a screen named "Import Grades". That makes it sound like I can only import the *Grades* from other course. If I am not interested in importing Grades per se, this screen title is really confusing. Shouldn't it be something different, like Import Method? And the the options would be "I would like to replace my data" or "I would like to merge my data"?--more like what is in the screen shot attached to this issue!
Kristol, is there more information available on this change somewhere? You're adding the "delete" behavior during import for all tools in a site, not just Gradebook, correct? Is there any relationship between this work and the recently discussed site template patch on sakai-dev? (See http://www.nabble.com/Create-a-new-site-using-a-template-to14411328.html#a14411328.) It sounds like the goals here may be the same?
Peter, no, this is the extent of the information that we have written about this issue. You are correct, we are adding the "delete" behavior during import for all tools in a site that support delete. This work is not related to the recently discussed site template patch on sakai-dev. That conversation appears to closely resemble the original import from site functionality. However, it appears that rather than performing an import from an already created site, the user is generating the site and then importing the content from the template site.
The work that we are doing allows us to delete content for selected tools in an existing site and replace it with content from a site chosen by the user. This is in answer to a functionality request from our user base to allow them to import categories and weighting in the Gradebook. In order to import categories and weighting, we must first ensure that the Gradebook to which we are importing does not have existing categories and weighting set up. You can imagine a situation where a Gradebook has the following categories and weighting set up: Homework 50% Quizzes 25% Tests 25% ------------------------ Total 100% If we were to allow a user to import categories and weighting into this Gradebook that already has categories and weighting, we may end up with the following situation: Homework 50% Assignments 25% Quizzes 25% Mid-Term 25% Tests 25% Final 50% -------------------------- Total 200% This would cause big problems with calculations in the Gradebook. So, in determining how to allow users to import categories and weighting without running into a problem such as this, we decided that we would first need to delete the existing content in the Gradebook prior to importing content from another site. This model goes against the current site import model, which merely adds content to a site in addition to existing content. Rather than changing a working model and having to explain the difference between the Gradebook import and the rest of the tools, we decided to add a new model for those users who wish to do a 'clean' import. Does this help? Do you have any additional questions? Thanks! What is the status of this work? I see it is still Open. Is the work being done in a Branch, or has it being finished up in trunk? Thanks.
The change has been merged back to sakai trunk. This task has been completed.
