Skillport 8 Patch 30 (8.0.3786) February 2015

Changes and Modifications

• Skillport now treats custom content as Java-free for Admin display and hide purposes. This change allows Java-free Skillport content to be enabled on sites which also have custom content. (CR 175261)

  Prior to Patch 30, Skillport treated custom courses as Java-dependent, even though the majority were Java-free. When the Java-free and Java-dependent content control was enabled in Skillport 8 Patch 22 (using skp parameter enable_java_free_content), Skillport sites with custom content installed were advised to disable the parameter because the Java status of custom content was unknown. Now, when this parameter is enabled on sites with custom content, all custom content will be displayed and treated as being Java-free.

  For more information, see Java-Free and Java-Dependent Content.
