The next release will come out near the end of this month!

Part of this release will include a revamped RSS module - adding a caption is a great idea.

I'm glad to see that drag and drop tab placement is coming in the next release - we are now importing production content, and that request came up today. Do you have a ballpark date as to when the next release will be ready?

Another thing a librarian asked for was to have the option of adding a short caption to RSS modules.

Thanks for all your work on A la Carte!

I see. We use the share/assign function. When someone goes on leave they share their guides with their replacement. The replacement will usually add a contact module of their own to the guides.
Alternatively, you can assign guides in the admin panel. I can see some type of mass assignment being useful though.
I will keep it in mind.

Keep the feature requests coming!

Hi Kim,

Ownership change:
This could either be admin or by the original author. This came up because we had someone go on maternity leave from mid-semester until late in the summer term. During the interim, an adjunct is filling the position. It would be nice to transfer all the guides via the admin panel rather then through MySQL.

Now that I think about it, I should probably rate these requests by importance. If one were critical on a scale of one to five, this is a five.

Glad to hear the other features will make it into the next release - especially the drag and drop tabs.

Hi Ian,

The next release will include sorting the tabs with drag and drop and cloning guides.

For changing ownership:
Do you see this as an admin function? Or can you give me some use cases for what you are looking for?

Here are a couple more ideas for new features. My apologies if these were previously submitted elsewhere.

- Batch change of guide/module ownership

- Ability to change guide owner

- Drag and drop re-sorting of tabs

- Cloning guide and all it's attached modules

Thanks for considering.
