[Building Sakai] How to register a new function and make it effective?

[Diego del Blanco Orobitg]

Maybe it's not the problem and you have done this fine but.. but if you
change the !site.template.course, you only change the template, but all the
old sites created before that moment doesn't update their realms. So it only
will work on new sites and if you enter in a previously created site, the
role won't change.

You must change in all the sites you want the aid201105.questionpool.new
permissions (manually or with a webservice...)

If you don't want, you can update the site helper realm.

As said, I'm not sure that's the problem but the xml seems fine.

Asunto: How to register a new function and make it effective?

I'm now developing an app based on sakai 2.8.0. I want to make my tool
hidden to student and visiable to teacher, so I do the following
steps, but it doesn't work:

1. register new fuctions in registration xml (I don't want to use the
existed "content.new" function).
<registration>
    <tool id="aid201105.questionpool" title="Question Pool" description="">
        <category name="course" />
        <configuration name="functions.require"
value="aid201105.questionpool.new" />
    </tool>
    <function name="aid201105.questionpool.new" />
    <function name="aid201105.questionpool.read" />
    <function name="aid201105.questionpool.revise" />
    <function name="aid201105.questionpool.delete" />
</registration>

2. authorize

Admin's workspace --> Reams --> Edit: Realm !site.template.course -->
Set the Functions for Role "Instructor" --> check
"aid201105.questionpool.new"

3. then I login and enter a course site as an instructor, but I can
not see "Question Pool" tool on the left hand menu.

   And securityService.unlock(userId, "aid201105.questionpool.new",
siteService.siteReference(siteId)) returns false.


I'm confused now.

Thanks!
