[ARCHIVED] CSS for hiding "Delete Course" and "Cross-listing" buttons from faculty?

[wbreitbach]

We used the following code snippets to hide the Delete Course and Cross-listing buttons from faculty. However, the code also hides the buttons from system admins. We would like the buttons to show for systems admins and not faculty. Any thoughts on how we might accomplish this?

#right-side .crosslist_link {

        display: none;

}

a.btn.button-sidebar-wide.delete_course_link {

display: none !important;

}

Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I can't help with the coding, but I can say that our CSM was able to apply to do this for our Institution, we didn't have to do it ourselves.

You could accomplish something like this with Javascript, using Canvas's ENV variable:

var hideDelete = true;

for (role in ENV.current_user_roles) {

    if (ENV.current_user_roles[role] === 'admin') {

        hideDelete = false;

    }

}

if (hideDelete) {

    $('.delete_course_link').hide();

}

(The above can be improved upon--for example, first checking to see if the delete button exists on the page before checking the user's admin status.)

Will,

The only way I can find to accomplish this without removing modifying their permissions is using JavaScript. Below is something quick i whipped up.  This should do what you are looking for but I would definitely do some testing in your test environment before adding to live to ensure it works for your institution.

$(document).ready(function () {

       var urlFifthLoc = document.URL.split('/')[5];

       var isTeacher = false;

   //Checks to see if user is a teacher

        var roles = ENV['current_user_roles'];

        var arrayLength = roles.length;

        for (var i = 0; i < arrayLength; i++) {   

       if(roles[i] === 'teacher'){

            isTeacher = true;

         }   

  }

  if(isTeacher === true)

  {

       if( urlFifthLoc === 'settings'){

            var el = document.getElementsByClassName("btn button-sidebar-wide delete_course_link");

            if (el.length > 0) {

                 el[0].style.display = "none";

       }

  }

  if( urlFifthLoc === 'sections'){

       var el = document.getElementsByClassName("btn button-sidebar-wide crosslist_link");

       if (el.length > 0) {

            el[0].style.display = "none";

           }

       }    

  }

});

Thank you so much for the help. We will give it a try.

Sorry for the delayed reply. We appreciate the support.

Can you also post the appropriate code snippet for hiding the moderate tool option in Assignments?

We have disabled the tool in the permissions so staff cannot use it, but it still appears as a selectable option when creating an assignment.

Thanks
