[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] JForum Grading Forums Issue

[Vivie Sinou]

Bob ~ 

Jforum doesn't support weighted categories in the gradebook. It was never
designed to participate in that function. It probably explains your issues. 


Best,

> We have encountered a problem when an instructor grades a forum that is in
> the Gradebook in a weighted category.
> 
> Information:
> 1. Sakai 2.7.x (r. 89149)
> 2. JForum 2.8.1
> 3. Gradebook 1
> 
> Scenario:
> 1. JForum forum is created with a group access and grading enabled
> 2. The gradebook item that is created is added to a weighted category in
> Gradebook
> 3. Then instructor adds grades for the students in that forum and presses
> "Release evaluated posts" or "Update"
> 4. The gradebook item is deleted and recreated, removing it from the
> weighted category previously set
> 5. The instructor then has to re-add it to the category
> 6. Rinse and repeat any time a forum is graded
> 
> Things I noticed:
> 1. Upon releasing or updating, the row in GB_GRADABLE_OBJECT_T is removed
> and recreated with a new ID
> 2. All the associated rows in GB_GRADE_RECORD_T are deleted and recreated
> to associate with #1 above
> 3. The category ID is now set to 'null' in #1
> 
> Is this the expected behavior? This seems like overkill when a score is
> updated. Not to mention, it frustrates many end users when they have to
re-
> add the GB item to the category every time a score is added.
> 
> Help/suggestions please?
