Previously on the send email page of the instructor dashboard, instructors could only view task information about emails they've sent for their course in the past. In addition to this, I've now added the ability to see the content of all previously sent emails. A "Sent Email History" button has been added to the page. When clicked, a table displaying the subject line, number of emails sent, and date/time of submission for each previously sent email is created. An instructor can then click on any subject line to see the content of that email, displayed in a modal window that appears on the page. The window is also equipped with a "copy email to editor" button, which copies the emails contents to the tinyMCE editor, so that an instructor can easily resend an email that they've sent in the past.
CoffeeScript
This folder contains the CoffeeScript file that will be compiled to the static
directory. By default, we're compile and merge all the files ending .coffee
into static/js/application.js.
Install the Compiler
CoffeeScript compiler are written in JavaScript. You'll need to install Node and npm (Node Package Manager) to be able to install the CoffeeScript compiler.
Mac OS X
Install Node via Homebrew, then use npm:
$ brew install node
$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
$ npm install -g git://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script.git
(Note that we're using the edge version of CoffeeScript for now, as there was some issue with directory watching in 1.3.1.)
Try to run coffee and make sure you get a coffee prompt.
Debian/Ubuntu
Conveniently, you can install Node via apt-get, then use npm:
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs npm &&
$ sudo npm install -g git://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script.git
Compiling
CoffeeScript is compiled when you update assets using the command:
$ paver update_assets
Testing
We use Jasmine to unit-test the JavaScript files. See docs/internal/testing.md for details.
