- Prevent localization of group description in breadcrumbs for group tools.

- Bug 6780. No "Groups" item in inline menu for users with unprivileged
  course roles if all group home pages are hidden, and no group tools
  enabled.

  Move &display_group_links() from lonsimplepage.pm to longroup.pm to
  facilitate re-use.

- Modifications to facilitate translation.

Consistent wording:
Replaced "bulletin board" by more modern (in web context) and better fitting word "discussion board"
as already started in redesign project and already in use

- Update some keys in de.pm which were originally multi-sentence,
  for consistency with code simplification made in resetpw.pm rev 1.29.
- Reduce number of phrases required for contacting helpdesk in case of a problem
  by unifying such phrases to a single phrase:
  "Please contact the [_1]helpdesk[_2] for assistance."

Exclude HTML tags from translation phrases.
Update corresponding German translation file phrases and translations.

XHTML: JavaScript event handlers in lower case

- Code to obtain unique unix timestamp-based identifier for new group board
  moved to lonnet.pm -- &get_timebased_id() -- to facilitate re-use.
- perldoc added for get_timebased_id().

- course's environment now has: internal.contentchange to store timestamp
  of when folders/composite pages uploaded to main content area of a
  course last changed.
- map::storemap() includes additional (third) arg -- if true, will cause
  update to internal.contentchange in course's environment.db
- internal.contentchange is also updated by nightly run of refresh_courseids.db
  in case course modification occurred on pre-2.11 server.
- internal.contentchange is stored for 10 mins in memcached, via &get_coursechange()
  routine in lonnet.pm

Added missing CVS Ids for automatic version numbering to script header
(Irrespective if the script is still in use or not)

Discussion Board Title edited.

- Wrapped list of group discussion boards in data_table
- Optimized &mt() call

Additional changes in de.pm:
- Some updates related to 2.8.0 release

- switch Store to Save

- complet switch to LONCAPA::map

loncommon::start_page() takes care of the &mt() call for the page title.

Creating group bulletin boards now uses lonnet::newput() to lock a record in groupboards.db file to ensure a unique numeric id used for the url.  New group id is stored in db file in combination with groupname as a new key.

Fix priv checking for roles with sections.  Breadcrumbs includes link to all groups when page is displayed from 'Groups' link in inline menu.

- BUG# 4921

Adding breadcrumb trail for group discussion boards display. Also putting groupID in bulletinpage_$boardid when creating group.  This is used by lonbulletin.pm to determine which group a group bulletin board belongs to for the purposes of privileges checking.  This setting is currently unchanged when a group board is moved from one group's folder to another using DOCS (could cause some confusion). Some sanity checking could be in order here (e.g., checking identity of enclosing map).  Still need to add locking device to prevent possible namespace collision when new boards are created.

Moving get_bbfolder_url() and get_group_bbinfo() to longroup.pm.  symb no longer needed for each bulletinboard when building links in groupboards.pm.  Total number of discussion boards now displayed in view group table for each group.  Also some alignment changes in this table.

No need to specify register=1 and symb=$symb n links as these occur automatically when bulletinboard page requests are handled.

- style

Display of discussion boards in a group, and the ability for users with board creation privileges in the group to add new boards.  When a group is first created a group folder is created containing the group homepage, and a discussion boards folder is created if discussion is enabled for the group. A "course groups" folder is also appended to the top level map in the course, if it does not already exist. Only works with standard courses which use default.sequence as the top level map. Hidden resource parameter is also applied to course group folders with default as hidden, and unhidden set for corresponding groups. Group bulletin boards use coursedom and coursenum as identifiers (instead of user domain and username as for normal boards) to allow them to be differentiated in lonfeedback.pm.  A locking mechanism should be implemented to make group creation atomic to avoid overwriting of .sequence files if two groups are created within a second of each other in the same course. Also need to address modification to group settings, when discussion functionality is enabled/disabled, as folder may need to be created and/or hidden parameter modified.
