This file is now useless.

i- navmaps wants the Apache request object as an argument now

Accidentally committed this code with lonnavmaps. This is a minor change
so I can document the lonwizard's last commit.

lonwizard now stores data in the temp directory on the server side, except
for a couple of small pieces of information in the user-received HTML.

It is stored as if were a query-string dumped into a file. It may not scale to
more then a couple hundred kilobytes very well, but that should do.

A randomly-constructed string based on the user, the domain, the date and
a random number is turned into an MD5 string, and that token is visibly sent
back to the user. The actual filename is the MD5 hash of the MD5 hash, so
we are not directly revealing a filename on the server to the user. Not likely
to matter, but a small layer of security-through-obscurity on top of
existing webserver security can't hurt any.

Not well-tested but seems to be working, and I don't think

Another multiple display fix: If there is no open date for the problem
at all, don't display it twice.

Ensure that the first resource or choice is checked when showing
radio buttons.

Dumb error preventing compiling.

Can't CVS f'in check for updated-ness *before* I write a lengthy commit
message?

Fixing some stylistic issues.

message_after parameter dropped from all states due to Rule of Three;
three wizards have been built and none of them need it, so axe the
feature.

Removed a couple of places where there was code trying to handle the
user going back, before I realized I could just lean on the browser's
"back" button to do a better job then I could code.

Better student selecter. Still not perfect; need to work out
how to select by section. (Probably going to go with adding
it to the form value after login and dom.)

Changes to the multiselect routine, to use checkboxes.

Minor bug fix in the resource choice; now Wizards must know where they
are, as states may need to know. Gotta document this right.

Because, like, the Number One rule of coding is "Duplication is the
Spawn of the Devil."

Down with copy/paste coding! Forward the revolution! ;-)

Require passing the wizard the data source, so that multi-part selections
can be processed correctly.

Added resource_multichoice, which lets the user select multiple resources
from a given sequence, which is used in lonprintout.pm.

Dropping masking 'my'.

Date now uses hours+meridian instead of seperate hours and meridian fields.

Rendering fixed to work more smoothly with nav maps. Resource and
map selection should work, with some possibly user-confusing possibilities.
Will research those in my next user meetings.

Change state order and labeling based on user testing.

Also a minor new change in form handling; wizard now automatically
handles remembering the form if the form element is named
{VAR_NAME}.forminput, which is convenient for dynamizing (to coin
a word) messages as the wizard progresses.

- damn cable modem

- Good Perl 6 syntax, Bad Perl 5 syntax :-)

Resource chooser now using the lonnavmap render code. Folder expansion
doesn't work but that's the navmap's fault; see later checkin for fix for
that.

Adding in the wizard code to the database.

This file is not yet ready for use, or indeed anything else.

This should be all the help information necessary for the next stable
release.
