Simply pressing the delete button and pressing ok is too easy to delete a course. I see people accidentally deleting courses.

I see two solutions for this:

1: Use the Github method, you have to type DELETE in and then press a big red I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING BUTTON. To confirm the deletion of a course.

2: Simply let users delete them, but delay the deletion by a few days or maybe a week, so they have plenty time to cancel the deletion request.

Auto-save course edits during creation and update. This may require some cached session variable, in local storage for instance, to avoid excessive database activity.

Steps to reproduce

1. When viewing a course page in edit mode, click a title in the sidebar.
2. Click the green checkmark button (submit)

Observed behavior

The inline edit dialogue stays open.

Expected behavior

The inline edit dialogue would close. This is the behavior when clicking the submit button, and/or when pressing the return key, while editing section titles.

mambo-form

https://github.com/DerMambo/mambo-forms
not maintained but it's a simple package, so we could just fork + update the package.js to 1.0
at some point in the future maybe better to convert to aldeed:autoform ?
esp if we start building many more forms, or adding custom formats.

TODO:

• short-term just convert the package to 1.0
• long term move to autoform

Track which course lessons a learner has completed. E.g. 'Mark as done'. Trust the learner input, as this is a self-select, self-motivated learning environment.

Display to the user their prigress through the course, indicating which lessons they have marked as complete.

ms markdown

not maintained
https://github.com/DerMambo/ms-markdown-editor
this relies on ace-embed, which hasn't been ported to 1.0 yet although there is a workaround.
I have a fork of reactive-ace, we could maybe use instead, but this is a complex package
and so ms-markdown would have to be changed too.
https://github.com/dcsan/meteor-reactive-ace.git

if we shift to use autoform, that will support custom templates in the future
yogiben/meteor-admin#11

todo:

• short-term: use workarounds to get ace-embed to work with 1.0 and upgrade both packages
• longterm - use different embedded markdown editor?

if i want to fox example add a list of vocabulary words to a course, do you anticipate a way to manage this type of more structured data?

seems a simple enough package, can just port to 1.0

Consider what aspect ratio, and how to allow users to crop image uploads. Alternatively, this can be automated by the server.

E.g. course cover photos.

given many of ms packages are not maintained, I would suggest to put them right into the app/packages dir.

my removing the .git files and directory, git for the app will NOT treat this as a separate git repo which will make it a lot easier to commit changes - rather than dealing with multiple subrepos all with different permissions.

https://github.com/Crowducate/crowducate.me/tree/port-to-Meteor-1.0/packages

from memory, this should do it:

cd packages
git clone $REPOURL
cd $REPODIR
rm -rf .git

be careful with the rm -rf that you're inside the dir for that specific package. or you could bork your main repo...

so after doing that for each of manuels packages, then:

cd ..
# make sure you're in the main app dir
git status
# check what new files are there - all the /packages/PACKNAME should be listed
git add .
git commit -m -a "flattened repo"

to add all those packages to the main crowducate repo

basic-auth

https://github.com/DerMambo/basic-auth
a small package, but I'm not sure what it does?
https://github.com/DerMambo/basic-auth/blob/master/basic_auth.js
first line has a ; so maybe its patching onto some other code?

WebApp.connectHandlers.use(connect.basicAuth(Meteor.settings.basicAuth.name, Meteor.settings.basicAuth.password));

maybe this is some app specific logic?

If you are in edit mode of your lecture and you are on the quiz tab and you change then to the next lecture on the left-menu, the title of the lecture does not show up. If you would then click update, the lecture does not have a title anymore.

mambo-authenticate

https://github.com/DerMambo/mambo-authenticate
-> this is an old fork of an old package accounts-entry
not sure why this was created, I guess something lacking in the differential package.
I have had problems with the differential accounts-entry that this is based on, and I prefer to use Splendido's packages
porting the whole login system could be a lot of work though.
Trying to understand the commit log for what was added to the differential package:

When I try to start up the meteor application, the browser won't show anything.
Looking at the browser console you get this:

After you answer a question, you'd normally get a "this is correct" or "this is incorrect" popup.

This should be remembered. It's probably a good idea show a how you did as (crappily) illustrated in this image

As an educator,
I would like to sync my Crowducate course materials on Git/Github repositories
So that I can have them under revision control

"Syncing source material for the courses to GH seems like it would be very useful for contributors." -- Joe Corneli

After completing a course, it should be marked as complete. And maybe store it a "completed courses" section of your profile or something. It's rather dull at the moment.

Copied from original issue: Crowducate/crowducate-next#20

this is a very cool project, but currently its based on an old meteor.
I'd like to help bring it up to 1.0, but there are quite a few custom packages that haven't been brought up to/don't exist for 1.0

@DerMambo if you could suggest the best way to migrate that would be very helpful..

we could just add whatever minimum is needed and republish the packages for 1.0 - if there are no other changes this is the quickest.
but there are some core pieces of the infra that maybe better switched out before building any new features? eg I use autoform rather than "mambo-forms". But porting the UI to a different forms package, Schema validation etc seems like a major undertaking?
mambo forms hasn't been touched for 4 months, does it work with latest router etc?

additionally the auth related stuff looks very out of date, but I'm loath to mess around with those type of packages. they always take ages to get working nicely...

@yauh any thoughts?

Hi Amir,

e.g. you have a longer email, like I do, then the top navigation content is to big and is shown in 2 lines. Especially if you make your window smaller the responsive view shows two lines in the top menu.

For that I would suggest:

• Put "Change Requests" and "My Profile" into the dropdown on the upper right
• Make the char count of the dropdown-link (your email) max X chars (eg "mail@manuel-sch...")
• Maybe show the responsive Bootstrap Dropdown Menu not only on small but also on medium sized screens

What do you think?
