visaplan.plone.groups 1.3.3.1

Extended groups management for Plone

Extended groups management for Plone

This package contains some additional groups management pages and a simple feature for scheduled activation and termination of group memberships, using a few tables in a PostgreSQL database (with currently hardcoded names).

The purpose of this package (for now) is not to provide new functionality but to factor out existing functionality from an existing monolitic Zope product. Thus, it is more likely to lose functionality during further development (as parts of it will be forked out into their own packages, or some functionality may even become obsolete because there are better alternatives in standard Plone components).

The additional fields for groups are not (yet) part of this package.

Features

• Group administration pages

• A very simple bulletin board for the group members

• A simple scheduler for group memberships

[tobiasherp]

1.3.3 (2023-05-02)

Requirements:

• importlib_metadata

• If we have visaplan.plone.search, we want v1.7.0+

[tobiasherp]

1.3.2 (2023-01-20)

Miscellaneous:

• @@groupsharing._update_view_duration added to the interface; we need this for @@auto_enroll (in visaplan.plone.elearning)

[tobiasherp]

1.3.1 (2022-04-25)

Fixed regression in version 1.3.0:

• Personal desktop: “our-thingies” pages were broken!

[tobiasherp]

1.3.0 (2022-04-22)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed the bookings list

  (note: this functionality might become moved to visaplan.UnitraccShop anyway)

New Features:

• New browser @@forum; for the form actions, we’ll continue to use @@groupboard

• New browser @@myfellows

Requirements:

• visaplan.plone.base 1.2.2+

• visaplan.plone.tools v1.4.14+ (for bookings list bugfix)

Miscellaneous:

• METAL macros:

  • Macro group-selector copied from group-desktop.pt to new template group-macros.pt;

  • new macro group-selector-grouped added there as well.

  These two macros can now be tested by visiting /@@group-macros; please change your references to the old location of the group-selector macro, as it will be removed soon.

• New GroupsBase class to provide some new methods, returning lists of groups of the current user:

  • .desktop_groups

  • .admin_or_desktop_groups

  • .my_groups (the working horse for the former)

  This class is currently injected into

  • @@groupdesktop

  • @@groupboard

[tobiasherp]

1.2.4 (2022-02-03)

Bugfixes:

• Don’t crash the group_administration_view if no title could be found

Improvements:

• The group-selector macro considers the context variable class (which is by default chosen-autosubmit, for historical reasons); the allows to specify something like chosen and thus suppress auto-submitting.

• Moved info factory functions to new subpackage .infofact

[tobiasherp]

1.2.3 (2021-07-09)

Bugfixes:

• Error in desktop breadcrumbs for erroneous group id

Miscellaneous:

• For anonymous users, don’t try to create dexktop breadcrumbs anymore.

[tobiasherp]

1.2.2 (2021-06-30)

Bugfixes:

• Don’t fail anymore when trying to delete memberships in meanwhile deleted groups

Miscellaneous:

• Removed DevelopmentMode value from @@groupdesktop (which apparently didn’t cause extra output)

[tobiasherp]

1.2.1 (2021-01-12)

Bugfixes:

• Empty group boards sometimes caused errors

Miscellaneous:

• Use Javascript API functions (Unitracc.*)

• moved group-desktop.js here, from visaplan.UnitraccResource

[tobiasherp]

1.2.0 (2020-12-16)

Breaking changes:

• crumbs modules renamed to oldcrumbs

  (With zope.deprecation installed, imports will continue to work; a DeprecationWarning will be logged.)

Requirements removed:

• visaplan.plone.breadcrumbs (still supported; hard requirement removed)

• visaplan.plone.sqlwrapper (An SQLWrapper class with that very functionality is alternatively implemented by the visaplan.zope.reldb.legacy module)

Bugfixes:

• Don’t include the (now) non-required packages in the configure.zcml anymore:

  • visaplan.plone.breadcrumbs

  • visaplan.kitchen

[tobiasherp]

1.1.6 (2020-08-20)

Miscellaneous:

• Python 3 compatibility, using six

[tobiasherp]

1.1.5 (2020-08-03)

Bugfixes:

• Switch to group desktop via group selection didn’t work.

• Access codes page now linked absolutely, and thus works now even if the desktop was loaded via AJAX.

[tobiasherp]

1.1.4 (2020-06-12)

New Features:

• On the desktop, list unbooked but accessable courses (e.g. demo courses, “for authenticated” / “for all”) after the booked courses (and without statistics, of course). This is so far considered too tiny to rectify a “minor” version change.

Miscellaneous:

• Switched off the disfunctional personal calendar (more precisely: removed the section from the desktop) which crashed when clicked (#50)

[tobiasherp]

1.1.3 (2020-04-08)

Miscellaneous:

• Don’t use the course titles for a link to the course anymore; we have “Start course” and “Continue course” for this purpose

[tobiasherp]

1.1.2 (2020-03-27)

Bugfix:

• group-desktop.pt now loads correctly via AJAX (including the DataTable; a minor layout problem remains)

• To start course via desktop link (rather than continueing), specify uid=1 explicitly; this is currently necessary to make the AJAX load work.

[tobiasherp]

1.1.0.1 (2020-03-24)

Miscellaneous:

• New SQL script src/visaplan/plone/groups/groupsharing/sql/update-0003.sql: modifies the SQL view course_statistics_overview to always report course_view as the (last used) page_view_type (to load that page via AJAX; #393)

[tobiasherp]

1.1.0 (2020-03-06)

New features:

• Views for AJAX navigation (registered if visaplan.plone.ajaxnavigation is installed)

• group-desktop views (for full-page and - not yet used with visaplan.plone.ajaxnavigation v1.0 - for AJAX loading; {my,our}-{images,…} views currently linked with data-fullpage-only attributes)

[tobiasherp]

1.0.2 (2019-05-13)

Bugfixes:

• Fixed incomplete conversion of Tomcom adapters usage to getToolByName

[tobiasherp]

1.0.1 (2019-05-09)

Note: Due to a regression, please proceed to version 1.0.2!

• New functions utils.generate_{structure,course}_group_ids, generate_structure_group_tuples

• Support for option resolve_role for the following functions:

  • split_group_id

  • generate_structure_group_tuples

  With resolve_role=True, these functions tell a role a role, and a suffix a suffix; e.g., the Author group of structures is not given the Author but the Editor local role.

  For now, the default value for resolve_role is False; this may change in future versions.

[tobiasherp]

1.0 (2018-09-19)

• Initial release. [tobiasherp]
