Download folders and files from Sessions
Page Overview
[Hide]1 Initial Problem
1. Sessions should have the the "Download"-functionality (folders and files)
2. The functionality "Download multiple Objects" should also support folders and files of Sessions.
2 Conceptual Summary
Session get the same "Download"-functionality as folders already have.
3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 List of Affected Views
In the dropdown-menu of a session, a new entry "Download" occurs. According to guidelines, a decision is needed what is the right place of this entry.

3.2 User Interface Details
1. Sessions can contain folders and documents.
- Users with Read-rights should be able to choose a download-entry in the dropdown-menu of each session.
- ILIAS then uses the background-task. ILIAS writes: " Success Message ILIAS is generating a ZIP archive of all available files. You can download them from the Notification Center (bell icon) on top right."
- ILIAS creates a zip-archive. The user can download this archive in the notification center.
2. Courses and groups can have multiple sessions, and each session can contain folders and files.
- When users choose the "Download multiple Objects"-button in the action-menu of a course/group
- They should be able to choose one or multiple session.
- Then when they click the Download-button
- ILIAS then uses the background-task. ILIAS writes: " Success Message ILIAS is generating a ZIP archive of all available files. You can download them from the Notification Center (bell icon) on top right."
- ILIAS creates a zip-archive. The user can download his course-archive in the notification center. In this archive, ILIAS also presents the sessions with folders and files.
In both cases (1 and 2), the name of the first folder is
- when available, the name of the session
- when no name is available then ILIAS uses the following name: "Session Files 2020-04-27 08.00 - 16.00
When a session has folders, then ILIAS create these as subfolders.
3. I additionaly suggest to change the behavior of ILIAS, if a user downloads a session
- Actually, when a user download a folder
a) Then ILIAS changes inside the folder
b) and then ILIAS then uses the background-task. ILIAS writes: " Success Message ILIAS is generating a ZIP archive of all available files. You can download them from the Notification Center (bell icon) on top right."
I think ILIAS should not change inside the folder.
