I wrote a script I would like to run right after the Course Summary on the Syllabus page has loaded. I also wrote another script I would like to run right after the people on the People page in the course menu are loaded. What is the best way to listen for this in javascript? What do you suggest?

Idea concurred with much gusto. 😉 It seems that because of recent updates to the way browsers like Google Chrome and others handle passing referral URLs to other sites, it is now critical that Canvas considers the whitelisting of HTML attributes. Our institution is now presented with the limitation in Canvas that our students can not click on a weblink to access a legitimate site to sign up for student discount cards because of this. The consequences are that students are forced to go off Canvas to conduct other essential business. I raised this with Support desk only to be referred to the Community. The nub of the case, therefore, is this. When deliberating risks, Instructure should consider (though no doubt they already have) the possibility that the definitive learning platform of the future that holds its own against the ever increasing competition, not least from Microsoft or Google, will be the one that not only dazzles with features and functionality from within, but presents the least learning obstacles and difficulties without!

Hi @rn1 You are correct! I was intrigued, and so did some experimenting. If you have a Canvas page set as the Front Page, then you can link to it in the Blueprint course, and that link will work in any associated courses. However, if you have set another content area as your home page, like the Syllabus area, then subsequently hide that content area, then there is nothing Canvas can display for student users. Since your plan is to hide the Syllabus area, have you considered creating a syllabus page (Canvas page with syllabus template added) in the first Module of your Blueprint course, then linking to that page? If you have an HTML coder available, you could even build that syllabus in HTML with blanks to be filled in for course/teacher specific information. Kelley
