Hi - I saw one thread on this in regards to resetting every student's password via SIS import but this has not worked for me. Is there a way to bulk reset every students' password? Thank you! Matt

Thanks Scott! The issue I'm having (and why I thought I might need to access the API) is that I need to have the same button go to the same module that exists in different courses. If I understand you correctly, your answer would have the button link to a module in one specific course. Is that right? Thank you! Best, Matt

Hi - What might be the javascript/API call to have a button in an embed advance to the next module. I plan on hiding Canvas Next Previous buttons and have the external page button advance the module. Thank you! Matt #javascript‌

Thank you James so much! I've been so frustrated by this so I greatly appreciate your help. I verified all of your suggestions and everything checked out. Is this not working because I'm misunderstanding how to use the masquerading feature?? User 2398 is a student without permissions to masquerade and I'm using my access token in the header. This feature is supposed to work the other way around right? A user would masquerade as someone with permissions that can masquerade.... (???) I've attached a pic for what it looks like in ARC for me... I'm building an app that needs to allow the user (after going through the Oauth dance) to submit an assignment. Should I be doing this some other way?? The reason I put the as_user_id in there was because I wasn't being allowed to submit an assignment as a student.

Hi - I'm getting a 422 Unprocessable Entity error when I try to test this API call (I'm using Advanced REST Client) : https://class.yciw.net/api/v1/courses/114/assignments/3784/submissions?as_user_id=2398&submission[submission_type]=online_url&submission[url]=www.google.com I'm using my admin access code in the header. Trying to submit this on behalf of student "2398." Is it formatted incorrectly? Thanks Matt

Hi - I need to make an HTTP (XHR) PUT request that targets a particular module on my self hosted canvas install and mark it done. I see this in the API: PUT /api/v1/courses/:course_id/modules/:module_id/items/:id/done Could someone show how I might write this using AJAX? Thank you! Matt

Hi - What would the javascript be to hide certain menu items from displaying? I particularly want to hide Assignments from the course navigation for Teachers. Thank you! Matt

Hi- I have some custom CSS that was helping to make my iframe content responsive. For some reason it is no longer working on iOS. Did some naming parameter change with for iframes on iOS? Any other thoughts as to why I can't seem to be able to targaet my iframes on iOS would be helpful. Thank you! Matt

Hi- I'd like to add a background-image to the course badge in the dashboard. Does anyone know how I might do that? Would it be a javascript/css combo? I tried finding just the css target but could only get: div.ic-DashboardCard_header_hero but this did not seem to work. Thank you! Matt

matt5834 · ‎08-04-2016

That did it! I actually got it to work by hiding the elements for 'student'. Here is my code inside of the condition you provided above. : if (document.URL.indexOf('courses') > -1 && ENV.current_user_roles.indexOf('student') > -1) { $('div#left-side nav ul#section-tabs').append('<li class="section"><a class="collaborations" href=" https://www.samuelmerritt.edu/online_faculty_resources ">Faculty Resources</a></li>'); hide(document.querySelectorAll('.target1')); function hide (elements) { elements = elements.length ? elements : [elements]; for (var index = 0; index < elements.length; index++) { elements[index].style.display = 'none'; } } } Any div with the class 'target1' will be hidden for students.

Thanks for this! However, I'm really looking to add unique items directly on individual Course pages (mostly Content and Assignment pages) only Teachers will see when they view the course. The course is quite long and involved and I'd like for teachers to be able to link directly from a particular course page to the exact teacher resource that will help them. It will also link to a specific teacher discussion on a separate forum community. Is what I'm asking even possible? Thanks! -Matt

matt5834 · ‎08-04-2016

Hi- We want to include content (likely just links) directly within certain course pages that will only display for the teacher role. These links will go to teacher resources for the course as a way to provide a teaching guide. Can anyone suggest a way I might do this? I have Kynnethware installed already .... maybe some javascript to go along with that? Thank you! Matt

Hi- This thread is great! I've done a fair amount of customization of the login page but I am having difficulty resizing the logo area so that it will display my logo larger. Does anyone know the CSS class I should be targeting? Thank you! Matt
