display FW and AT versions in UI #2507

Open chucklorenz opened 4 years ago

chucklorenz commented 4 years ago

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:

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.) versions-aat
