Following the previous update, the system failed a regression test and reported a 4441 error while trying to submit a new Lab report.
This was due to the condition added on line 298 in Course.php and reversing this change solved the problem.
This condition was added to allow all Group members to be updated once the Tutor Marks the Lab Report but a better method to
archieve this has been implemented on line 367 in Course.php
Two Issues have been Fixed
1)Firstly
Only Group Admins were able to submit group assignments and the system was indicating to other members that they missed the deadline.
This Problems was solved through the following stages:
Create 4 new columns 'Member_ID1-4 Varchar(50) DEFAULT 0' in the database table 'course_group_table' (this will limit each group to max 5 members you can check the file Script.php from line 1071.)
Changing the SQL query in SubmitLab.php to allow both Group Member and Group Admin to submit assignment. (However for this feature to take effect with backward compat, the group admin might need to invite other members again into the group or else they still wont be able to submit but all the group assignments will indicate that they have been submitted by the admin. For any new group after the update it works perfect.)
Changing the Course.php allows other members to be updated once 1 member submit the assignment.
2)Secondly
The Tutor couldnt modify assignments once posted.
Adding an 'Edit' Button on the Tutor's page allows him to modify new and old assignment without any duplications. This feature afftected Courses.php from line 109.

Edited by Ashly
Removed the insertion of encripted password into the 'HashPassword' column. All passwords are kept in the 'Password' Column.
Also adjusted the Column size of database to hold the long hashed password
Make sure the really old, legitimate users could still login.
Note that these users' passwords were first encrypted by SHA512 then stored in column HashPassword.
In recent updates, we totally disuse HashPassword. The hashed password (using Php's built-in function password_hash) is stored in column Password instead.
