Blackboard 9 Testing

Limited menu of a created blog

tjdownes — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 22:18:34 +0000

I created a blog but cannot edit the blog because the drop down menu does not show correctly. Links below show the menu which is not correct on the bbtest9 system and the correct menu which is from the demo system.

Bad menu on test system.

Correct menu on demo system.

Grade center – interactive view

cabrown — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 21:22:11 +0000

When I attempt to change from static view to interactive view I get a permanent hourglass. I’ve tried it with standard classes (like MAT), my old Demo course, and a new course Tom created for me. This is true in both IE and Firefox 3.0.1

classes in which student is enrolled not listed in my courses module

cabrown — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 18:08:38 +0000

Two instances of this problem:
1. A student who is enrolled in many courses sees none of those in the Courses Module including the test course in which I have enrolled him.
2. Diane enrolled me in a MAT course and although I see all the other courses I am enrolled in, I do not see this one.

All courses mentioned above are marked ‘available. I have a screen shot of the student’s account.

In MyPlaces I can sometimes see the missing MAT course.

Discussion Board

In the discussion board, I collected several posts, then changed the order from ascending to descending. When I was done reviewing the posts, I clicked on the OK button, and received the following errors (first error in an org, second in a course):

Unable to generate id. The provided key value is invalid: blackboard.data.discussionboard.Message – - {2}
For reference, the Error ID is 77ed06e9-62c2-49a5-8f26-1d7d08c0a427.

HTML – Anchor links no longer work

kflint — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:43:48 +0000

I have an organization with a syllabus in the About this Course section, that uses html anchors (links within the page) to allow users to move to specific parts of the syllabus without scrolling through the entire document. This no longer functions correctly in BB9. When clicking on a link, it takes the user to a blank, non-existent page.

Start at: About this Course

click on link, now at: About this Course > Syllabus and page is blank

Is this something that will be fixed?

Community Tab – Modules still loading

kflint — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:55:02 +0000

When clicking on the Community Tab, the modules appear to have loaded, but the following message remains just above the Organization Search module:

Please wait while the module loads…

Waited 10 minutes, message never went away.

My Organizations Plus – Document not found

kflint — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:52:02 +0000

When clicking on an Organization link in the My Organizations Plus module on the BB@SU tab, receive the following error:

Error: Document Not Found

Document Not Found
Check to make sure that you entered the URL correctly.

This occured for every Organization I have access to. When clicking on Organization links in the My Organizations Module on the BB@SU tab, all orgs come up normally.

Will this be available in the production system or disabled?
