CP-435	Expo Journal Teams Search	The "OK", "Cancel", and "Go Back" buttons are not always reliable.
CP-1033	Expo	When users visit an Expo blog via an RSS link, the Quick links options are not relevant to the current user. Instead, they direct the user to the blog owner's sites, resulting in an "Access Denied" message.

CP-1897	Expo Journal Teams	Files that contain a single quote in their filename were causing an error when the file is uploaded to a blog or wiki.
CP-1898	Podcast	The "Play" link in a podcast episode was being displayed on the same line as the description. This link has been moved to its own line to improve readability.
CP-1903	Teams	Students are not able to export the content from the course wiki tool even when the instructor has enabled export for that wiki. Note that this same setting does work for wikis created in course content areas.
CP-1922	Expo Journal Teams	In some browsers, the "delete" link for comments was covered by the right sidebar. The "delete" link has been moved to the left side of the comments block to ensure that the link is always accessible even when there are display issues.
CP-1923	Expo Journal Teams	Nested lists, either numbered or bulleted, created in the rich text editor were not displayed correctly in the blog or wiki.

CP-1941	Expo	New Expo sites created in Expo 2.8.19 were automatically shared with "Everyone in the World" by default. Users who created sites on the 2.8.19 version of Expo should check sharing settings for those sites to ensure that they are not shared with people who should not access the site. Sites created in this release and future releases will not be shared with anyone after creation, unless the site owner enabled RSS for the site or explicitly shares the site with a user or group. If RSS is enabled for an Expo site, the site will be shared with Everyone in the World.

CP-1974	Journal Teams	On the Create Blog and Create Wiki forms, the date and time restriction fields for editing were grayed out and not editable in Internet Explorer 7.

This has been changed, so that unparseable files are marked as unparseable and no longer included in future index runs.
CP-2005	Expo Journal	The author filter in Journal LX was sorting users by username rather than users' last names.
CP-2006	Expo Journal Teams	Changes made to file locking in Campus Pack 2.8.x resulted in file locking errors even when NFS locks were configured correctly on the institution's servers.
CP-2009	Journal Teams	When the "Private Journal" option is selected on the Create Blog form, checkboxes are disabled elsewhere on the form for options that are not selectable for private journals. When these checkboxes were disabled in previous releases, the checkbox still appeared to be checked even though it was actually disabled and not selected.
CP-2011	Expo Journal	When a blog entry was edited, the entry creator was always listed as the last editor even when someone else subsequently edited the entry.

Release 2.8.21

Fixed Issues

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-1926	Podcast	In Campus Pack 2.8.19, an error was sometimes received when creating a new episode if external storage was enabled or if the episode was linked to an externally-stored file.
CP-1946	Search	In 2.8.x releases of Search LX, the indexer is not indexing any courses when ".*" is specified as a course pattern in the Configure Courses to Index admin page.
CP-1956	Podcast	When external storage was enabled in Podcast 2.8.19, files that were uploaded to episodes sometimes were not copied to the designated folder on the external server.
CP-1960	Expo Journal Teams Podcast Search	Campus Pack was tested for compatibility with Blackboard 8.0 and changes were made to allow installation on that Blackboard release.

Release 2.8.20

Fixed Issues

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-1934	Expo	Re-ordering Expo sites on the Manage My Sites page deleted contents of that site from the file system.

Release 2.8.19

Fixed Issues

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-1795	Expo	Previously, administrators could only create a link to the Expo Directory in the Tools module that appears on the My Institution tab. Administrators can now also add a link to the Expo homepage, so users can easily access their Expo homepage with one click.
CP-1811	Journal Teams	If the administrator set the logging level to FINE or FINEST, instructors were receiving an error message when attempting to create a new blog in their course.
CP-1815	Journal	When creating a blog in a course, the "Allow blog members to view Instructor's entries" field was functioning incorrectly in Internet Explorer.
CP-1816	Journal	In a blog with multiple authors, when a user commented on a post in the blog, the blog was filtered by the author of the post on which the user commented after the comment was submitted.
CP-1818	Expo Journal Teams	Users were receiving error messages when attempting to access wikis that were created in on a Blackboard 7.1 server with Campus Pack 2.7 installed and archived and restored to a Blackboard 7.3 server with Campus Pack 2.8 installed.
CP-1824	Expo	The Manage Default Directory Layout administrator tool in Expo was not working.
CP-1825	Expo	Links to attachments in Expo site exports were broken.
CP-1831	Podcast	If a user linked to an external media file to create a podcast episode and set the URL to the URL of the course podcast feed, a connection timeout would result.
CP-1832	Expo	When enabling RSS for a blog in Expo, it is necessary for users to share their blog with everyone. Previously, users were required to modify the sharing setting and enable RSS -- making this a two-step process. This has been changed so that enabling an RSS feed for a blog in Expo will automatically create a new share with everyone.
CP-1835	Podcast	The inline podcast episode player was not working on the Podcast Tool page when URL encoding was enabled for Podcast LX.
CP-1839	Podcast	Podcast episodes that were linked to media files in the Content Collection were not showing up in the Podcast feed.
CP-1843	Expo	Orphaned Expo sites caused errors in Expo when it was upgraded to Expo 2.8.17.
CP-1846	Journal Teams	When a gradebook item was created at the same time as creating a blog or wiki, the selected gradebook category was duplicated in the gradebook. It is not possible to assign a new blog or wiki to an existing Blackboard gradebook category without creating a duplicate. A workaround was implemented so that gradebook entries created for new blogs and wikis are assigned to the Blog Project or Wiki Project categories. If the instructor wishes to categorize the gradebook item differently, this must be done in the gradebook.
CP-1864	Journal Teams	Instructors were receiving Javascript errors when they modified the properties of a blog or wiki in which at least one group and/or one individual course member had previously been selected as a member of the blog or wiki. These errors were preventing the instructor from modifying membership of the blog or wiki.
CP-1867	Journal	An error message was received when blog members created a link in one blog entry to another entry in the same blog.
CP-1873	Expo Journal Teams	Some UNIX users were receiving error messages when attempting to upload images to wikis or blogs if they did not have the X11 libraries installed on their server. These libraries were being used to add the size to images that were uploaded when width and height were not specified, in order to improve performance and to meet accessibility guidelines. This has been resolved so that users who upload images in this case will not receive an error message, and the image will be added without the size being automatically specified.
CP-1875	Journal LX	When a blog member permanently deleted an entry in a blog and another member of the blog immediately thereafter created a new entry, the new entry created by the second member was attributed to the blog member who previously deleted their entry.
CP-1882	Teams	If non-members were given permissions to view and add comments to a course wiki and a wiki member shared the link to the wiki with a user who does not have a login to the course, that guest user was able to view the wiki and view and add comments to the wiki, even if guest access was disabled for the course. This has been fixed so that course wikis cannot be viewed by anyone without a course login unless guest access is enabled for the course and the wiki is viewable by non-members.

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-1713	Podcast	The Podcast LX external storage feature now supports a more generic implementation for the Windows environment.
CP-1780	Podcast	For Podcast episodes where the media file was an mp3, the "Play" link was removed in the 2.8.16 release and replaced with a Flash-based mp3 player. For these types of episodes, the "Play" link was added back to allow users to either play the episode with the player or to download the episode using the "Play" link.

Fixed Issues

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-1484	Journal	The creation date for user comments in blogs and wikis is being displayed as the current date rather than the date the comment was posted.
CP-1644	Expo Journal Teams	Links to users' Expo sites from Journal LX and Teams LX would result in an error message if Journal LX and Teams LX were upgraded to a 2.8 release, but Expo LX remained on a 2.7 release. This has been resolved so that the links to Expo sites only appear in Journal LX and Teams LX if Expo LX has also been upgraded to 2.8.
CP-1665	Expo	In an earlier version of the 2.8 beta release, instructor users received an error when attempting to delete the "My Students" module from their Expo Directory.
CP-1672	Journal	In an earlier version of the 2.8 beta, exporting wikis and blogs resulted in some broken links in the exported files. Specifically, links to pages that were recently added after upgrading to that beta release would be broken.
CP-1698	Journal	In the 2.8 beta release, the blog filters were not working in Internet Explorer 7.
CP-1709	Podcast	In an earlier 2.8 beta release, the "Check URL" button on the Add Podcast Episode form always indicated that the URL was invalid, even when a valid URL was entered when linking to an externally-hosted media file.
CP-1731	Expo Journal Teams	In the 2.8.16 beta release, the "Revert" button was missing from the Revision Details page in Expo wikis. As a result, Expo users were unable to revert to previous versions of a wiki page or to restore deleted pages.
CP-1743	Expo	In the 2.8.16 beta release, the "Revert" button was missing from the Revision Details page in Expo wikis. As a result, Expo users were unable to revert to previous versions of a wiki page or to restore deleted pages.
CP-1744	Expo	On the Share with Course and Share with Organization forms, the permission checkboxes were inactive, so users were unable to assign any permissions other than "View."
CP-1746	Expo	In Internet Explorer, the "Share with Everyone" form could not be submitted. When attempting to submit, users would previously get a pop-up message indicating that they must select a group, even though a group was selected.
CP-1747	Expo	List sorting was not working on the Manage Default User Sites admin page in Internet Explorer in the 2.8 beta releases. This has been fixed and is now working in Firefox and Internet Explorer.
CP-1755	Expo	In the 2.8.16 beta release, when an Expo user selected the sharing link on the "Send an Email Invitation" form prior to submitting the form and actually creating the invitation, the user would receive an Access Denied message. The link has been removed and replaced with the URL for the sharing invitation. Users can copy this URL and share it with others to give access to their Expo site.
CP-1761	Journal Teams	On the Create Wiki and Create Blog forms in a course, the course members were not listed in alpha order. This has been fixed so that course members are listed in alpha order by their last name.
CP-1784	Expo	Expo was ignoring Blackboard users' privacy options set in their personal information area. This has been fixed so that users' personal information is not displayed if a user has not selected in the Blackboard "Set Privacy Options" to display their name in the User Directory.

Release 2.8.16

New Features

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-130	Expo	Expo users can grant permissions to their Expo sites to non-Blackboard users. This is done by sending an invitation containing permissions to a site via email to external users. The invitation includes a link that allows the invited user to access the site with the assigned permissions.
CP-168	Expo Journal Teams Podcast	Administrators can assign quotas to Expo, Teams, Journal, and Podcast. In Expo, administrators are able to set a size limit on Expo sites, and they can specify users who should be allowed unlimited space for their Expo sites. In Teams, Journal, and Podcast, administrators are able to enforce course quotas for the Campus Pack course applications, and they can specify courses in which the quotas should not be enforced.
CP-407	Expo Journal Teams	URLs for Teams wikis, Journal blogs, and Expo sites and directories no longer include query strings, long IDs, or any other strings that are not user-friendly.
CP-582	Expo Journal Teams	Users are able to create links within wikis and blogs in Expo, Teams, and Journal to other wikis and blogs.
CP-595	Expo	Administrators can now create templates for Expo sites. When Expo users create a new Expo site they can create a blog or wiki from scratch, or they can create the site from a template created by the administrator. Sites created from a template will include all formatting and pre-populated content in the template.
CP-683	Expo Journal Teams	Anywhere a user's name is listed in course blogs and wikis, clicking on the name now directs the user back to that user's Expo homepage, if available.
CP-830	Expo Journal Teams	Permalinks are generated for each blog post or wiki page, so users can link directly to a specific entry.
CP-1031	Expo	Expo users can share their sites with other users based on their course or organization enrollment.
CP-1117	Podcast	A Flash-based mp3 player has been added to Podcast LX, allowing users to play Podcast episodes directly in the browser if the episode is an mp3 file. Previously, Podcast episodes were launched in the user's external mp3 player.
CP-1385	Expo Journal Teams Podcast Search	New tools have been added for administrators to give them an easier way to upload and download Campus Pack files from the file system for support purposes.
CP-1614	Expo	Site creation is disabled in Expo for users who have exceeded their quota.
CP-1632	Expo	After a user added a site from their Expo homepage, they were directed to the Manage Sites page. This has been changed so that users are returned to the page from which they initiated the site creation.
CP-1661	Expo Journal Teams Podcast	When installing a 2.8.x version of Campus Pack, file quotas will now default to 1024 MB. This value should be changed by the administrator if file quotas should not be enforced.

Feature Enhancements

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-417	Expo Journal Teams	The user interface on the delete confirmation page has been improved. The term "purge" has been replaced with "permanent deletion", and the links have been replaced with a form that provides more details about the deletion options.
CP-768	Journal Teams	The Create Blog and Create Wiki forms have been improved so it is easier for instructors to navigate and to assign permissions to members and non-members. As part of these improvements, additional permissions can now be assigned, including more granular permissions for commenting and exporting.
CP-783	Journal	The setting for creating private journals on the Create Blog form was not clear. This has been improved so that instructors can select to create either a private journal or a group blog when creating a blog in a course content area.
CP-920	Expo Journal Teams	It was difficult to distinguish different items in the Recent Posts and Site Navigation lists in blogs and wikis, especially when entries in the list were longer than one line. To improve readability of these lists, all lines other than the first line are indented for each list item, if the item is longer than two lines of text.
CP-970	Expo	The profile image can now be made optional in the same manner as other profile fields. The administrator can also choose the caption for the profile image, and can configure the path to or URL of an existing source of user images.
CP-1010	Expo Journal Teams	The rich text editor is enhanced to include an easy way for users to link to anchors without requiring knowledge of HTML.
CP-1038	Expo Journal Teams	Change the navigational elements in Campus Pack to respect the case of the text entered by the user rather than displaying in all lowercase.
CP-1044	Expo Journal Teams	When users upload images, the height and width of the image is now automatically detected and inserted into the image tag. This improves page rendering performance on blog and wiki pages that contain images.
CP-1081	Expo	Variable expansion can now be used in course and organization identifiers when defining relationships. This allows administrator to set up faculty advisor groups as blackboard organizations and then define expo relationships for the organization id ADVS-@X@user.user_id@X@. Advisors can then see their advisees in a directory relationship.
CP-1137	Expo Journal Teams Podcast Search	Logging granularity is now configurable so that the level of detail recorded in logs can be defined by the administrator. This allows the administrator to decrease the size of logs by reducing granularity. Additionally, the size and total number of log files stored on the system have been reduced, so that logs are a more manageable size.
CP-1191	Search	Search results now include summaries from all text-based documents including HTML, PDF, DOC, etc. In addition, the document titles are retrieved from PDF and HTML files, and HTML entities are unescaped in search summaries and contents.
CP-1205	Expo Journal Teams Search	Upgrade tasks, such as filename migration, should occur automatically upon upgrading Campus Pack.
CP-1302	Expo Journal Teams Search	Instructors should be allowed to configure blogs and wikis to display users' first names only.
CP-1316	Journal	In private journals, students were unable to view entries added by the instructor. Students are now able to view entries added by instructors, as well as their own entries.
CP-1353	Journal Teams	The permissions for Comments in course blogs and wikis are more granular so that instructors can enable or disable write and read permissions separately, as well as permissions for blog and wiki members versus non-members.
CP-1354	Journal Teams	Instructors can enable or disable the Export Sites feature in course wikis and blogs.
CP-1430	Journal Teams	On the Create Wiki and Create Blog forms, the gradebook entry fields are now disabled unless the "Create Gradebook Entry" checkbox is selected.
CP-1438	Expo Journal Teams Podcast Search	The "Adjust Logging Granularity", "Migrate Backpacks", and "Migrate Filenames" tasks that existed in the Campus Pack admin pages have been moved to a new "Upgrade Tasks" area, and these tasks now occur automatically upon upgrade so the administrator no longer is required to manually initiate them. Additionally, an "Archive/Restore Links" function has been added to this area so that links to Campus Pack tools can be preserved during the upgrade process.
CP-1460	Expo Journal Teams	The printer icon is removed from the print preview page when the page has actually been printed.
CP-1461	Expo Journal Teams	A "Close Window" link has be added to the print preview page in wikis and blogs.
CP-1541	Expo Journal Teams Podcast Search	When administrators activated a Campus Pack Building Block, there was a delay of several minutes as the application's pages are pre-compiled. This delay has been eliminated. Instead, the application now pre-compiles in the background, and the status of this process can be viewed in the Upgrade Tasks area in the application's Management area in the Administrator Panel.

Fixed Issues

ID	Component(s)	Description
CP-94	Expo Journal Teams	The rich text editor cannot be used in the Safari browser. A workaround was to use Firefox or Netscape 7.1 or higher. The rich text editor will now work with Safari 3.0 and future releases of the Safari browser.
CP-334	Journal Teams Search	Tool links created to Building Block tools will be broken after removing and reinstalling the Building Block. In Campus Pack 2.8.14, a mechanism was added to archive tool links prior to upgrading and to restore tool links after upgrading. This feature can be used for all upgrades subsequent to upgrading to 2.8.14.
CP-416	Expo Teams	When a link is created to a new page in a wiki, the new page does not appear in the page list until the user clicks through to the new page. This was fixed in this release so the page is automatically added to the page list.
CP-482	Teams	When creating a new Teams site, if the "Allow Edits Until" field is set to a date before the date in the "Allow Edits After" field, the user receives a success receipt even though the site is not created.
CP-721	Search	The Monitor Status page will always display "Dec 31, 1969 7:00:00 PM" as the last index date after rebooting Tomcat on the server where indexing is run.
CP-750	Journal Teams	In course wikis and blogs, non-group members who are enrolled in the course are always able to comment.
CP-751	Teams	If HTML special characters are entered in the Institution Name on the Manage Settings page, the Configure Portal Module page will not display correctly.
CP-758	Journal	Links to blogs that contain special characters in their names will sometimes display a RuntimeException error when clicking on the link.
CP-859	Expo	When a default wiki site is created in Expo and the home page name is modified, the modified name will not display in users' copies of the wiki.
CP-874	Expo Journal Teams	The Comments field is partially covered by the sidebar in Internet Explorer 6 and 7.
CP-927	Expo	The page title for the home page on new Expo wikis has a title of "blank" instead of "Home."
CP-932	Expo Journal	When a user attempts to view a blog feed in the Internet Explorer or Firefox aggregators, the user is prompted to login to Blackboard if they haven't already been authenticated. Other aggregators allow the user to view blog entries without authentication, as expected.
CP-940	Teams	The date restrictions setting for non-group members in Teams LX are working inconsistently. Occasionally, when the specified date for this setting has expired, group members are not able to access the wiki.
CP-1025	Search	Links to some Journal or Teams items returned in search results are broken.
CP-1030	Journal	When viewing a Journal RSS feed in IE7, images in entries will appear as broken links. The workaround is to view the feed in another feedreader.
CP-1035	Expo	System administrators receive a Null Pointer Exception when they attempt to access another user's Manage Profile page.
CP-1055	Expo Journal	The index page in an exported blog displays posts in chronological order instead of reverse chronological order as the posts appear in the blog itself.
CP-1427	Podcast	The "Play All" link on the Podcast tool page redirects users to the Blackboard home page.
CP-1431	Expo Journal Teams Podcast Search	Transparent PNGs are not supported in Internet Explorer 6.
CP-1443	Podcast	When a podcast episode content item is made unavailable, users who had previously subscribed to the feed are still able to access the now unavailable content item via the feed.
CP-1450	Teams Journal	On the "Create Wiki" and "Create Blog" forms, users are unable to tab between the Name and Description fields.
CP-1476	Expo	The "OK" and "Cancel" buttons on the Manage Sites and Sharing pages in Expo do not behave consistently or as expected.
CP-1514	Expo Teams Journal	Changes made to prevent cross-site scripting prevent embedded videos from appearing in blogs and wikis. YouTube videos have been explicitly allowed in this release, but embedding other media will continue to be disallowed until further development is completed.
CP-1548	Search	Search returns results from unavailable courses and organizations.

Some unnecessary warnings were logged in the catalina log files.
