[Contrib: Evaluation System] EvalSys-1063 -viewing results

[Beth Kirschner]

Version 1.4.1 of evaluations is running on the http://qa5-us.sakaiproject.org/portal server -- this shows the behavior of the checkbox always checked but also always grayed out. 

It looks like a pretty easy change to both remove the checkbox and have it default to unchecked. Do you have developers that can work on this? I'd suggest the following:

1) Select the "Subversion" link from https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/EVALSYS-1063 to see the changes made to implement this
2) Modify the EvalAssignHierarchy.java and evaluation_settings.html files to set the value to false and remove the checkbox

We'll try to do some testing to see if the UI is misleading or if the "instructorsViewAllResults" is indeed always true, but are interested in if you are able to find more out as well.

Thanks,
- Beth

The checkbox on the individual eval remains checked and greyed out regardless of what the admin setting is.

However, now that we've upgraded to 1.4 when our staff go in to create course evaluations even though it says instructors are not allowed to view results in the eval settings ui page-- to the right of that text is a checkbox that is on by default that allows the instructor to view the results of other instructors.
