I've just been looking to see if there was a tracker entry for this.
There is a capability, http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/moodle/blog:associatecourse
I think there needs to be these levels of visibility:

World, Site, Course, Personal (Draft) and Teacher Only.

How does one create a META entry here to group all the blog-related tracker items? (Like MDL-13588, MDL-25333, MDL-9877 etc)

-Derek

Sending to stable backlog, aimed to see if those capabilities ('moodle/blog:associatemodule' and 'moodle/blog:associatecourse) should be working at other, fine grained, context levels.

Feel free to move this to DEV_BACKLOG if won't be implemented for 2.0.x series.

Hi Derek, a bunch of issues could be moved under one META issue as subtasks, sure, but that's one practice that we aren't using too much lately, mainly because we are working based on 1-2 weeks scrum sprints since some months ago, and areas of interest / development focus are evaluated without using METAs. Also, you always can look to the component page (for example http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL/component/10095) where you can get complete info about its status and associated tasks.

Ciao

OK, thanks Eloy.

1. http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL/component/10095 contains only some of the items in the tracker associated with blogs. Is 10095 a list of what is ACTUALLY being worked on? Or a list of issues that have been noticed and is not a complete list yet?

2. Where do you go to find out what scrum sprints are on? And ones that are planned?
I'm trying to balance my needs (course level blog like entities) and corperate Moodle needs where blogs are concerned (I cannot find any real information about this)
In other words, where is this item (MDL-25347) in the scheme of things, or is it so far down the list (or not even on the list) and I should start looking for a cludge/workaround now?

3. If you are not using META to group items what are you using?

Hi,

I've changed the permission checkings to check capabilities at course and module level instead of system level. If there associations for a concrete context and the teacher prevents the associations afterwards, these associations remains visible. Submitting for peer review

code seems good David

The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.

TIA and ciao

Pull branches rebased

The integration of this issue has been delayed to next week because the integration period is over (Monday, Tuesday) and testing must happen on Wednesday.

This change to a more rigid timeframe on each integration/testing cycle aims to produce a better and clear separation and organization of tasks for everybody.

This is a bulk-automated message, so if you want to blame somebody/thing/where, don't do it here (use git instead) :-D :-P

Apologizes for the inconvenient, this will be integrated next week. Thanks for your collaboration & ciao

Hi Eloisete! Pull branches rebased

Aha, so it's not possible to associate existing entries to courses or modules. What a limited thing.

Aha2, so the blogs block is required in order to be able to blog about modules (but courses allow it from the navigation block). Inconsistent.

Aha3, it would be amazing to have one "Blog about this" link everywhere (perhaps controlled with one "promote course/module blogging" $CFG setting or so. To be shown automatically in all the possible contexts...

Anyway, your changes look spotty, so integrating... feel free to make whatever you want with the 3 "ahas" above (new issues, ignore, whatever...).

Ciao

This has been changed to "improvement" type (from bug).

So has been integrated in 23_STABLE (because it's recent-recent) and master. No way for this to land into older branches.

Ciao

Test result: Success!

Tested in 2.3 and master with MySQL.

I noted that there is still a link to "Blog about this...(course,assignment,etc.)" on the blog page with a courseid or modid. He is raising an issue about this minor bug.

For the good and the bad... this is now part of Moodle and people around the world will start using it immediately, what a responsibility!

Many thanks for your collaboration, yay!

Closing, ciao
