Abandon Dynamic Parameters in Weblinks

1 Reasons to Abandon Feature

Adding dynamic parameters to weblinks allows personal data to be passed on:

  • user ID,
  • ILIAS ID and
  • matriculation number

The transfer of this personal data is not made transparent to end users. This violates privacy rules and should be abandonned. 

Additionally if the feature was dropped the Form could be replaced by a KS-Form. 

Outdated Screen shot

Additionally, the corresponding setting in the Weblink administration can be dropped, and with that the whole Weblink administration.

2 Technical Information

To abandon the Weblink administration, the object 'ilObjWebResourceAdministration' has to be dropped entirely. With that, clean up in various components will be necessary, especially in database tables: Access, Administration, etc.
