Hi there,
I'm trying to create links to pages which are listed in the Modules page in Canvas.
I'm using the API to get a list of module items (/api/v1/courses/:course_id/modules/:module_id/items) but I'm finding that the html_url link listed in the app does not work in the Canvas app - it takes students to the modules page rather than the relevant module item. What is the best way to get a link to the module item that will work on both the website and the App?
Many thanks in advance
Matthew

I agree it would be better would be if you could set a default alt text for each image or mark as decorative when it is uploaded. In addition to this if this was unchanged when inserted in a page, the accessibility checker flagged-up to check that this was appropriate in the current context. Alt text for a specific image may be different depending on its context: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/person-shoes-tree-is-the-person-naked-what-people-with-vision-impairments-want-in-image-descriptions/
The default of the filename is unhelpful, because it it is rarely/never appropriate. On top of this, if the file name is in the alt text the accessibility checker doesn't pick up on the fact the alt text is poor.
Where no custom default is provided no alt text may be preferable to the filename.

I'd like to see the ability to add a rich text header and footer to the Modules page as well as rich text blocks throughout the page (currently you can only add a text header). Ideally these would allow you to add text links and images around the Modules.
I'd also like to have greater control over the appearance of the links under each module themselves so they could be displayed as a list or as cards.
We'd like to use the Modules page as a homepage for our courses but generally we don't because we can't provide information we want up front on the homepage (so extra clicks are required) and because the Modules page is so visually unappealing.

Hi there,
We regularly come across an issue with the Canvas editor where if you delete the text in a link, without using the unlink button, the html for the link remains in the page. This then appears as additional or broken links in the link checker but unless you know HTML it's not clear how to remove them.
Is there a way to remove these links in the RCE without using the HTML view?
Best,
Matthew

I've found that Canvas seems to dynamically add a max-width size to images based on the width of the browser window when you open a page. This means when you change the browser window size, even if an image is set to scale to 100% width, it caps at a lower width. Has anyone found a way around this problem?

I just found another issue with responsiveness of the the See all courses/Modules page: The table is squashed with text truncated and the stars to the left obscured. Will these issues be fixed before the 15th? Best, Matthew

Hi there, The new responsive theme looks like a real improvement. In testing I found a couple of small issues: 1) When I try to add a page or assignment in the Units view the modal window for this is not responsive. 2) SpeedGrader does not appear to be fully responsive for smaller screens - this is in admin/teacher role. Thanks, Matthew
