Abandon Adding Certificates in Personal Workspace

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

At the time being certificates can be added as objects to the user's personal workspace. This feature was implemented years ago, where user certificates did not have a persistent character. With ILIAS 5.4.x persisting certifactes have been introduced. This makes this feature kind of obsolete, especially when considering the purpose of this feature: Adding certificates to portfolios.

Therefore we suggest to remove all functionallitay from the Personal Workspace component to add new certicates as objects to the workspace tree.

Use the following discussion section to express your objections against this request or your consent to get rid of this feature.

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], 16 JUN 2020 : The wrong page template was used for this request to abandon a feature. Page has now correct structure.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 22 JUN 2020 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept to abandon the option to add certificates from the Personal Resources with ILIAS 7. If possible (funding and technically), please introduce an option that allows to remove the non-persistent certificates, e.g. through a dummy certificate object. This could be done for ILIAS 7 as well.

6 Implementation

Implemented as described above.
