Updates to Mallard From November 1999

• Javascript.pm: Got rid of "with(filename)" on a string, which works for Netscape but not MSIE, apparently.

• edit_user_pwf.cgi: Moved the "reset" and "submit" buttons to the bottom of the table and renamed them "Reset" and "Save Changes" to match other pages.

• Authent.pm: Print an optional $msg argument and the $! error for user support-mallard in file_open_error().

• Authent.pm: Have $DEBUG_SHOW_SCRIPT_NAMES and $DEBUG_SHOW_COOKIES flags to print the name of the current script and all the cookies respectively at the bottom of the page in print_tail().

• Quiz.pm: Don't say the students can't change a tweaked grade, in the grade report - they now CAN, by improving on it.
• view_grades.cgi: Rewrote the actions on the buttons to point to the new grade viewing and modification pages, display_mallard_grades.cgi and modify_mallard_grades.cgi.
• display_mallard_grades.cgi: New program for displaying Mallard quiz grades. We now display the score as well as the grade.
• modify_mallard_grades.cgi: New program for modifying Mallard quiz grades. We now modify scores, not grades, and we allow students to improve on tweaked scores.
• rebuild_mallard_grades.cgi: New program for rebuilding Mallard quiz grades.
• GradePolicy.pm: Make the "pass cutoff" apply to the real SCORES too - cut off quiz_adj if it's failing, in record_quiz_grade().
• RebuildGradePolicy.pm: Make the "pass cutoff" apply to the real SCORES too - cut off quiz_adj if it's failing, at the end of each quiz rebuild.
• Quiz.pm: Removed the notation saying you can't change a tweaked grade, at the end of the grade report.
• ShowGrades.pm: Indicate that grades have been hand-modified if they have been, in print_grade_detail().

• Parser.pm: When searching for the end of tags, look for />\s*$/ instead of />$/ (allow spaces) in fill_buffer().

• ShowGrades.pm: Fixed the capitalization of "No record in grades file" when not taken, in print_grade_detail().

• EditQuiz.pm: Add cheesy link to "Edit Lessons Page" if the user is an admin, in update_quiz().
• edit_quiz_.cgi: Change perl5 to perl, require access before printing the header.

• modify_quiz_list.cgi: Eliminated stage 2. Now stage 1 both prints the form and saves changes, and we just continually spin around in stage 1.

• Authent.pm: Moved the license to $MALLARD_HOME/license to allow clustering. Also put it in a variable $Authent::LICENSE_FILE for easier changes/moves.
• license_info.cgi: Changed perl5 to perl, reference the license file as $Authent::LICENSE_FILE for easier moving (only need to edit Authent.pm)
• $encrypt/install_remote_new: A version of install_remote that copies the license into the new location. This will be moved over install_remote, eventually.

• icons.cgi: Replaced the icon for "mail staff" with that for "view grades", got rid of the old "perl5" in the #! line.
• view_grades.cgi: Added a line to force displaying in the main window if coming from the icon bar.
