Hey guys!
I am administering the atutor LMS in a russian school. This is not a big project yet, but it is growing and as the scope of the possible scenarios expands, i become incrisingly concerned about the stability of the system. currently i have submitted 3 bugs regarding encoding and sorting which is understandable as atutor was not tested with russian language, but here comes the new thing that can be only explained by the LACK of testing.

So here is my use/test case:
1. set up the test course with some students
2. enable gradebook as the course tool
3. set up like 10-15 external tests to enter marks manually
4. you will see that the table width expanded to the right beyond the window borders.

the paginating of these results does not work

This is not a bug. That's what happens when there are more tests than can fit on the width of the screen. The paginator is for paging down through users, not across through test.

If you're able to describe a better design, we might consider it.

Yes, i am.
and from the common sense point of view only the feedback from customers can show if the product is user-friendly. If you don't believe me - post my screen shot on your main page to advertise the Gradebook and then monitor how the number of downloads decreases with time....
so my suggestion is to:

1. define a number of tests per page, say 10
2. select the last ten (by date) tests and put it on the front page
3. generate the OLDER link to display the table of next ten tests
4. put NEWER link onto the page from point 3
5. repeat

More considerations: if this is a design, then why the background white color vanishes right in the middle of the table cell?

once again you can help me with the coding, especially since this will be a valuable addition to the further version and a lot of customers will appreciate it.

This might be a good project for a community member to take on. Rarely would a single course have 10+ tests, but for those who have courses that do, they might take on the responsibility of programming in the paginator. We try to accommodate the majority. For those with specific needs, they need to take on that development themselves, or hire someone to do it.

If you want to give coding a try, be sure to work with the live source code from our repository. And, read the developer docs.
