Dear List,
For the most part, Blackboard annoys me. However, one feature they
have that I think is cool is useful is that when a user uploads an
html file, it is scanned for relative links. Anything that is going
to be broken by its new location generates a screen prompting you to
upload the appropriate file or (I think) modify the link. This is a
pretty spiffy feature. If you wanted to upload a page that has an
image in it somewhere, you upload the page and are prompted to upload
the image on the next screen. This isn't amazing functionality to
anyone with any html experience at all, but it is useful for someone
who has just recently discovered the "save as HTML" option in their
word-processor.
So here's the question: Does this functionality exist in openACS
somewhere already? (I'm using 3.2.5.) Or if you've implemented it,
would you consider sharing? Otherwise, I'll slap something together,
and can release it if anyone is interested.
