[Building Sakai] TurnItIn Integration

So what is the current line of thinking regarding the problem that the originality report displays in the format that the previous site maintainer was using? Is the a query string param that can force a specific version of the report?

This is obviously the catalyst to Raad asking the below mentioned question.

Hi Raad,

Currently the answer is no.  However, this has been a long standing item 
on the wish/requirements list.

During the last round of refactoring to add some functionality to the 
TurnitinContentReview service we factored out all the connection/account 
information into 
org.sakaiproject.contentreview.impl.turnitin.TurnitinAccountConnection, 
which is not independently declared in the spring config, with the idea 
that in the future you can have multiple accounts.

The remaining work that needs to be done includes:

- Adding a database column to the content review items table, so that 
each content item is assigned to a specific account, so when the queue 
processes them they are sent to the proper place.
- Add overloaded methods to take the account, or just make multiple 
TurnitinContentReviewService components.  Either way keeping the 
original signatures as well with a default account specified. Also add 
the internal logic there to check the site the content item belongs to, 
so you don't have to have the tools themselves check the account.

This isn't currently scheduled to be implemented by anyone, but I keep 
it in mind everytime I need to refactor it a bit for some piece of other 
functionality.

Maximum Cheers,
Steve
