{{Historical  }}


* Added warning comment

 # URL of WeBWorK handler. If WeBWorK is to be on the web server root, use "". Note 
 # that using "" may not work so we suggest sticking with "/webwork2".


* Added comment
 $webwork_courses_dir = "/opt/webwork/courses"; #(a typical place to put the course directory


* Added SMTP timeout constant
  # Seconds to wait before timing out when connecting to the SMTP server.
  $mail{smtpTimeout}           = 30;

* Limits distribution of feedback (so that for example, it might only go to the TA of that section, not to all TA's

  # If this value is true, feedback will only be sent to users with the same
  # section as the user initiating the feedback.
  $feedback_by_section = 0;
  

* Changed url for the main webwork site
  $webworkURLs{docs}          = "http://webwork.maa.org";

* removed style sheet url -- wasn't working properly anyway
  # $webworkURLs{stylesheet}    = "$webworkURLs{htdocs}/css/${defaultTheme}.css";
  # this is never used -- changing the theme from the config panel
  # doesn't appear to reset the theme in time?
  # It's better to refer directly to the .css file in the system.template
  # <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<!--#url type="webwork" name="htdocs"-->/css/math.css"/>

* cosmetic adjustment
  ################################################################################
  # Hardcopy snippets are used in constructing a TeX file for hardcopy output.
  # They should contain TeX code unless otherwise noted.
  ################################################################################

* change blankProblem.pg to blankProblem2.pg to get current best practice template for questions.
 $webworkFiles{screenSnippets}{blankProblem}    = "$webworkDirs{conf}/snippets/blankProblem2.pg"; 

* added button that enables you to find to all of the subdirectories of the NPL, Rochester, Union, etc. This allows you to manually find  a problem in the NPL if you know its path
  # subdirectories or links to other directories. The "NPL Directory" button
  # activated below gives access to all the directories in the National 
  # Problem Library.

        Library          => "NPL Directory",


* fixed change in coding -- may not change the name of th file at all
  $webworkFiles{logs}{transaction}    = "$webworkDirs{logs}/${courseName}_transaction.log";

* adjust this permission level for gateway tests to student from ta
        view_proctored_tests           => "student",

* new permission level for gateway tests
        create_new_set_version_when_acting_as_student   => undef,
* new: part of the interaction to determine who can see the "path to file" printed when viewing a question. You can set this to 15 if you only want specifically named users to see this "path to file" string.
        print_path_to_problem                           => "professor", # see "Special" PG environment variables
* new: gateway quiz permission level
        record_set_version_answers_when_acting_as_student => undef,

* second part of the permission level that determines who will see file paths printed when viewing a question.
  $pg{specialPGEnvironmentVars}{PRINT_FILE_NAMES_FOR} = [ "professor", ];  
     # ie file paths are printed for 'professor'
  $pg{specialPGEnvironmentVars}{PRINT_FILE_NAMES_PERMISSION_LEVEL} = $userRoles{ $permissionLevels{print_path_to_problem} }; 
     # (file paths are also printed for anyone with this permission or higher)

* new optional modules -- Applet and FlashApplet should be standard now.  Chromatic.pm is used by some Northern Arizona U. problems but is not currently distributed with rel-2-4-5
  #     [qw(SaveFile)],
  #       [qw(Chromatic)],
        [qw(Applet FlashApplet)],
