We have just discovered a problem with Reading Lists in the 3 site templates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Template for content<\/li>\n
  2. Template for tutors<\/li>\n
  3. Template for lecturers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It would appear that when a site is copied (duplicated) any Reading List contained within that site is not<\/strong> copied<\/strong>; in other words, the Reading List in the copy of the site is the same ‘physical’ list as that in the original.<\/p>\n

    To illustrate this simply, if you edit the Reading List in the original site then the Reading List in the copy will also change.<\/p>\n

    This has severe implications when the site in question has been created from a system-wide site template: all copies made from a particular template contain the same Reading List<\/strong>. If one person edits the Reading List then everybody else’s copy will also change without notification.<\/p>\n

    As far as we can tell nobody has yet edited a Reading List in a site created from a template.<\/p>\n

    We have now removed reading lists from the templates so new site created from templates should be safe.<\/p>\n
