display FW and AT versions in UI
Affected Area
The AT UI does not display the authoring tool version or the version of the framework that it is running.
Requested Feature
Display both the AT version and the FW version somewhere in the frontend that is easily accessible.
Use Case
Client requests the use of a certain type of plug-in in an already established course. Decisions must account for the AT and FW versions. Much time could be saved by getting this info from the UI.
Current Workaround
FW version is currently found within the <html> tag of a running course. AT version is not (understandably, as a course runs independently of the environment that produced it). AT version is found using the server command line which most users and many developers/consultants don't have access to.
Additional Information
Perhaps convert the current Help link to a menu:
- authoring tool version: x.x.x
- framework version: x.x.x
- how to upgrade (link to wiki page)
- Adapt community forum (link to tech forum)
- Gitter room for developers (link to authoring tool gitter room)
Displaying versions in UI is also mentioned in #2425
We now have the data-adapt-framework-version and data-adapt-authoring-version attributes on the html tag of any authoring tool post-v0.7.0 (see #1944).
However, I'd also say there's still a need for a GUI version of this, so will leave this open.
How about utilising some of the extra nav space for versions? (I'd be happy to work on this. Would just need to find the right file etc.)
