Just a quick update to add the default roles and question types that should have shipped with version 1.8 (they have been added to the end of the /install/ilearn_install.sql script) and a quick feature addition. You can now create 'news' announcements from within the admin. Some other minor modifications were added too - minor CSS things, etc. Thanks to Thomas Messier for pointing out that I didn't ship the roles and question types. Download iLearn at RIAForge.
I sent you a MS SQL script not realizing you used MySQL functions in your code (e.g. concat and current_date). So it may be of little use.
One feature request I would like to make is that a user can have multiple roles. There are some time when an instructor may be the admin (like me) or even the student.
Thanks for all you effort.
I could see multiple roles being useful. Just so you know, I don't think there is anything functionally different from the instructor and admin roles at this point. They can both access the administrator as far as I remember - but it's been a while since I wrote it so my memory may be hazy :)
Thanks for the script - I will try to integrate MSSQL support and the multiple roles in the near future. I can see a few settings necessary in the XML config file like dbtype and table prefix - but it shouldn't be that hard to add support for other db's.
