Another batch of changes:
* I have updated the Help tab, so that it now contains the sections
"manual", "faq", "tutorials" and "about". The content of the three
sections can be changed by any researcher, like the way the group
presentation works. There is now a great need for better documentation
of all the features of the site, and I will starting working on the
manual. I also intend to add a FAQ-button to the FAQ-page, so that
anyone can pose a question which will then be handled by us.
* I have added tutorial as a report type. These are intended to be short
howtos for either ToonTalk or the WebReports site, or both. They work
just like tools or report templates: select tutorial as your report type
on the properties tab of a report, publish it, and it will show up under
tutorials.
* The comment system has seen several major changes:
- The comment system now includes a set of predefined comment types,
which gives the general title of the comment. These are available as
radio buttons next to the comment button. This idea has been presented
by the London team, I'm sure they can present a more detailed
discussion of this than I can. The set of available comments is not
static, in any way, so if anyone wants to discuss the available
comment types, feel free to do so. We will also make sure that these
types are included in the various translations.
- Comments can now be edited with the WYSIWYG editor. Apart from writing
stylish comments, this also opens up for easier linking etc, as the
toolbox of the WYSIWYG editor is now available.
Note however, that there is no "insert object" field on the comment
editing form: this would not be simple to add. If you really want to
include some file in your comment, you need to use the "insert link"
functionality of the WYSIWYG editor.
- The parent is now visible in the comment editing form. This means that
if you comment on a report, the report will be visible while you edit
your comment. If you, on the other hand, reply to a comment, the
comment you're replying to is the one visible.
