DeVCONF

The next ILIAS Development Conference takes place at 10 and 11 September 2025 at University of Marburg. We start on Wednesday at 13:00 and end on Thursday at 13:00.

2 Technical Board

This topic on our agenda should improve the information flow between the Technical Board and the society members and ILIAS users.

Abandoned Components (see: https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/pull/9177)

  • We started to look into each and every component that is listed and we are trying to find individual solutions for all components.
  • Please remove your usage of the component "CSV" or replace it with "Excel" until coding completed of ILIAS 11. You might either use that component directly or you might still have a legacy table that supports CSV exports. Please make sure to drop that dependency in both cases. There also is a mail about this on the developer-mailinglist.

5.2.4 Test Case Lab will return

After the culmination of the test phase for ILIAS 10, our Test Case Lab will return to improve existing test cases. 

Please contact Fabian Kruse if you would like to participate.

5.2.5 Test11 will be set up soon

Fabian Wolf will set up our next test installation soon. During a recent Jour Fixe, a discussion was started about whether to update the existing installation or start from scratch.

The product manager and the test manager prefer to keep major parts of the existing content from test10. We would delete the old sandbox and also prune parts of the existing objects in our test category before updating.

If you need an empty test environment for select purposes, please contact Fabian Kruse to discuss on how to proceed. Additonal existing (or possibly also new) test installations could be used for retests if required. Test cases could be amended accordingly.

6.8 Suggested Features for 11

  1. Recurrence Form to Kitchensink: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk. Please add a short notice to the byline of the 'end date' input to clarify if this end date is the last possible recurrence date or the first one after the recurrences. And adding the info about the technical availability of the feature to chap 4.2 would be great.

  2. Licenses in Search Results: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk.

  3. Option for Delete all Answers in ILIAS Test: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk. Concerning the modal to confirm the deletion of all test we would like to have a third option:

    • The interruptive modal contains an additional checkbox as shown for option 2.
    • But unlike shown for option 2 the primary button for finally deleting als questions is set to status 'Unavailable action' and does not get green unless a user has enabled the checkbox to 'Delete all Answers'.

  4. Revision of the suffix ‘- copy‘ for object copies: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk.
