Make it so you can see leaders permission on course activities GH1675
When you sign up for course related activities you are doing it through the manage registration portal and there is no note showing that the leader asked for leaders permission.
3 votesCompleted April 2016. Now you can see leader’s permission via the Manage Registration dialogue box and on the course requirements tab along with links to get you to the form to request permission.

Ability to hide climbs for specific SIG's or Branches.
Let climb leads be able to hide climbs from the public until they are done getting members from their SIG or branch.
As a basic student its time consuming to see climbs just to sign up or email the climb leader and find out its only for a specific group of people and that I can't be on the climb.

Add info to the "Course Requirements" tab GH1484
On the "Course Requirements" tab:
Stack the dates if there are Start and End Dates.
Add 1-2 columns that show the participant availability and status.
- Availability is either "29 available" or "8 waitlisted."
- Status is Opens mm/dd/yy, Closes mm/dd/yy, or Closed.
- If we have room for two columns great if not, one column titled "Availability/Status" with the info stacked should be okay.Add a column with the leader's name that is a link to their My Profile modal dialog.
3 votesMore information is now listed in the course requirements tab for all lecture and field trip listings.

Organize course field trips in My Courses area better for admins/leaders GH1629/1645
In the My Courses area I currently see too many activities populating under the Courses I am leading and managing. Can we make the field trips,lectures, optional activities for that Course only show in one of these two ways
1) Only activities within the start and end date range of the course for which they are shown
2) Show first ten trips with a More link to show the rest.
3) any other ideas?
If we do number 1 would that make it so that participants who are in their second year unable to see the field trips they are…

Course-Related Activities website architecture change
Summary:
Course-Related Activities need to be connected with the pertinent Course offering. (i.e. Course-Related Activities should NOT be connected to the generic Course Template and thereby connected to all offerings of Courses based on that Template).Detail:
With the current setup, the process for creating an instance of a Course is to start with the pertinent Course Template. The Course is then filled out with more detail by creating Course-Related Activities (such as lectures, field trips, etc), which are at specific locations at specific dates / times.
It is important for each unique offering of a Course to have its…
6 votesWe had a chance to discuss our course architecture in depth on June 9 in Everett and how to best utilize the structure we have to avoid almost all of the problems listed in this thread. The one item we are working on for fall is having a single seminar style course type which is much more activity like in nature but has an instructional component to handle special instructor clinics and workshops that we often offer in The Mountaineers. We hope to meet again with Everett leaders in the fall to help schedule courses and make sure that everyone understands the most efficient way to set up and manage courses and the activities that go with them.
If you’d like to know more about or comment on the single activity course please comment here: http://feedback.mountaineers.org/forums/273688-general-feedback/suggestions/6836270-create-a-new-course-content-type-better-suited-for

Close registration for courses that were created before registration close date field existed GH 1148
Is it possible to close registration for all courses that happened last year. The default when we added registration open and close dates to courses was to have them perpetually open which has meant we have had a handful of these incorrect sign ups.
From Jeff- The best fix actually might be blocking registration for a course whose end date is in the past.

You can currently "offer" more spots than are actually available GH 1152/1188
Fix course capacity so that you can only offer as many spots as are actually available for that course. Right now you can have 5 spots available but make an offer to 10 people on the waitlist.

Make course materials tab linked to course template rather than individual course GH1260
Right now last year's students can't see the current course materials. It'd be cool to have this linger from course to the next upcoming course so 2nd and 3rd students would have the most up to date information. You could have a folder that contains archive materials but this would be an area that is always up to date, or maybe you could have the option of whether your course template has this evergreen course materials folder or whether leaders want it on a year by year basis. Leaders and admins of courses any thoughts?
2 votesCourse materials can now be more easily shared year to year. Leaders can now also delete and archive materials from their committee area and course material folders

Skill Badges SD312/313/415
Skill Badges: Documents skills (not courses) Mountaineers members have gained through Mountaineers courses OR that have been demonstrated to and vetted by Mountaineers Leaders.
How do skills interact with courses?
• Students can see what skills a course teaches
• Instructors can see what skills students have, and allow them to miss certain field trips if students already have those skills (at the instructor’s discretion)
• Skill badges help expedite equivalency, or negate the need for equivalency.How do skills interact with trips?
• Trips can add more detail to prerequisites. Students will be able to participate in Alpine Rock…4 votesAssigning “earned” skill badges for successfully completing an activity. This will be most useful for stewardship activities and clinics and seminars.

Fix Rolling Enrollment Date Structure
Make sure that you can set up a course for rolling enrollment that then closes after the course end date so if you have 8 workshops under one course header for 2014 you can start over in 2015 with a new course and 8 new field trips that don't get rolled into one. This helps avoid huge course rosters to maintain.
1 voteCompleted at the end of December 2015 thanks to testing from First Aid coordinator Mary Panza.

Create a new course content type better suited for our single seminar courses SD296
Create a type of content that is similar to courses but is more useful for the once a year, one-off seminars that we do. It would be connected to a route/place like activities but have course graduation function or the ability to add badges to it and mostly would be good for things like winter scramble seminars or pool sessions that are activities that have learning attached to them but aren't full fledged courses.

Registration Date/Time for Cancelled Students should change GH1755
When someone drops from a course, update the registration date to reflect the date of cancellation. Currently the original registration date remains in that field. This makes is hard to track when individuals drop from the course.
