Add pdf export option for downloading submission within an assignment

1 Initial Problem

After having submitted a portfolio within an assignment one can only download a copy of the submitted portfolio as zip file (i.e. html file). However, experience shows that students feel more comfortable with a pdf file on their local machine.

2 Conceptual Summary

We suggest to add a "Print to PDF" function besides the zip/html download functionality. So, the user can choose whether he/she wants to download the submitted portfolio as zip file or save it as a pdf file.

3 3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

  • Button "Download Submission" in slate after submission of portfolio within an assignment (no matter if deadline for submission has already been exceeded or not) should offer a Print/PDF Result in addition to HTML Export.  

3.2 User Interface Details

The additional "Print to PDF" function could for example be realized by a button in the portfolio content view:

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

{ If the proposal introduces any completely new user interface elements, you might consult UI Kitchen Sink in order to find the necessary information to propose new UI-Concepts. Note that any maintainer might gladly assist you with this. }

3.4 Accessibility Implications

{ If the proposal contains potential accessibility issues that are neither covered by existing UI components nor clarified by guidelines, please list them here. For every potential issue please either propose a solution or write down a short risk assessment about potential fallout if there would be no solution for the issue. }

4 Technical Information

{ The maintainer has to provide necessary technical information, e.g. dependencies on other ILIAS components, necessary modifications in general services/architecture, potential security or performance issues. }

5 Privacy

{ Please list all personal data that will need to be stored or processed to implement this feature. For each date give a short explanation why it is necessary to use that date. }

6 Security

{ Does the feature include any special security relevant changes, e.g. the introducion of new endpoints or other new possible attack vectors. If yes, please explain these implications and include a commitment to deliver a written security concept as part of the feature development. This concept will need an additional approvement by the JourFixe. }
