[Bug] When there are errors while creating course sections through course edit, the server throws an exception

The page no longer crashes if a course section is being created through the course edit page, but there are errors in it.


[Course section] Course section edit allows edit of tasks from other course sections

There was a mistake in the definition of the relation for tasks that returns content refs. It is fixed now.


[Tutorials] Author can't access own video. Says to buy subscription.

Users didn't have full access to tutorials that they created. They would go to the tutorial's page and it would tell them to purchase a subscription in order to see the content. Now authors have full access to their own tutorials.

Platform

[Content] Let users create Tasks

Users can now create tasks. They can go to a course section's edit page (/course_section/:id/edit) and find the "Contained tasks" section. There they can create a new task that will immediately get added to the course section. Also, they can edit the tasks that are in the course section and are authored by the user.

On their dashboard users can find all of their authored content (tasks, courses, course sections, etc.).


[Course Section] When looking at contained tasks, sort them in the way that they are sorted in the course section

On the course section edit page, users can directly edit the tasks that they author and are in the course section. Those tasks are now appear in the same order in which they appear in the course section.


[BUG] Section 266 materials are not rendered in edit view

Currently not reproducible. Probably fixed in another change.


[Tasks] Don't show archived tasks in course sections

Duplicated with another card for "Have the ability to archive a Task"


[Content] Let users create NonReusableContent

Users can now create labels like they can do with Tutorials, Materials, etc. They can do that through the dashboard's "Labels" section. Afterwards, they can add the label to a course section through the course section's edit page.

They can see all of the labels that they author on the dashboard's "Labels" section.


[Platform] Refactor and group common functionality from controllers

There was a problem when admins tried to tag or publish a content when the content had errors in it. The fields didn't appear. It is fixed now.

Also, some of the functionality behind it is abstracted, so that it is more reusable now.


[Labels] Rename Label to NonreusableContent (Непреизползваемо Съдържание)

The Label has been renamed to Nonreusable content. The name was chosen, because this content type is meant to be used for content that is specific to the course and isn't meant to be reused elsewhere like the other types of content are.

New Nonreusable contents could be created at

https://www.fllcasts.com/nonreusable_contents/new The Label has been renamed to Nonreusable content. The name was chosen, because this content type is meant to be used for content that is specific to the course and isn't meant to be reused elsewhere like the other types of content are.


[Authorable Content] Make authors able to edit THEIR content whether it is published or not

Now users can edit the content that they author even if it is already published.

This is available in the menu of the content, there is an Edit button. Now users can edit the content that they author even if it is already published.


[Bug] Materials and tutorials with no publish date set are not shown in the Unpublished content section of the course.

On the course show page the "Unpublished content" area now properly shows content that has no publication date set.


[Translation] Change bulgarian Yourcourseenrollments translation

The translation for "Your course enrollments" in Bulgarian on the dashboard was changed from "Записвания в курсове" to "Записани курсове" for better clarity.


[Release Notes] Add readme on how release notes are generated to the infrastructure_admin repo

The README is located in infrastructure_admin/planning with detailed steps on how the release notes are generated.


[Release Notes] Add release notes for SP28 in the release notes

Release notes are added for SP28. Available at

https://www.fllcasts.com/release-notes/sp028-2018-11-16


[Bug, Group User]: Can't add a user to group1 with usertype=x if he also belongs to group2 with that same usertype

Fixed a bug where you couldn't add a user to group1 with user type X if he belonged to another group with that same user type.


[Plans] Change the name of maxadditionalusers to max_users

When administrators create plans they could have maxusers that would be allowed in the subscription for this plan. Previously this was called maxadditionalusers but it is actually just maxusers.


[SSS 1.0] remove episode_type. Should be dependent on Plans.

Episodes no longer rely on the episodetype field, now they use subscriptionaccess like the rest of the content on the platform and each tutorial could be marked accessible only for people with a certain plan
