(external app) course navigation link "default" option

[jihoon_yoo]

Hi all,

I am trying to add a course navigation link in an account level with hide option enabled, i.e. course_navigation[default]=false, by default. However, the course navigation link is shown up in every courses under the account automatically, and also there is no way for each teachers of courses to hide/show that app in settings. Below is the settings for the external app.

the external app's settings:

{

consumer_key: "1234"

created_at: "2015-06-11T20:18:29Z"

description: null

domain: null

id: 11242

name: "Online Research Help"

updated_at: "2015-06-11T20:30:25Z"

url: "http://campusguides.lib.utah.edu/c.php?g=226647&p=1502336"

privacy_level: "public"

custom_fields: null

workflow_state: "public"

vendor_help_link: null

user_navigation: null

course_navigation:

{

default: "false"

enabled: true

label: "Online Research Help"

selection_width: 800

selection_height: 400

}

-

account_navigation: null

...

not_selectable: true

}

In course settings > apps area:

Again, this external tool is added with an account level. Please let me know any ideas or comments.

jihoon.yoo​, I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but I think you might get a faster answer/response if we moved this over to the Canvas Developers​ group. Would it be ok if I moved your question over there?

Yeap, that sounds good to me.

Thanks! It's been moved!

With the XML configuration for LTI applications we are writing, setting the following will add the tool to the course but hide it until the instructor enables it:

<lticm:property name="default">disabled</lticm:property>

So maybe try default:"disabled" instead of default:"false"?

It is working for one course only. External app created for one course is not visible in another course.

Is their a way to make it available for all courses.

Deactivated user​, I see you posted a similar question here--External App for all courses at a time--so anyone coming across this should click on the link for the response.
