Creating an redirect LTI using XML Paste

[yra]

I am trying to create a redirect link using XML paste. I got the code online, but when I create it, it has the "assignment and Link Selection" and "Course Navigation" placements. I only want this to appear on the course navigation. How do I set it up so it does not include the "assignment and link selection" placement?

I can go there is x-out the assignment and link selection, but I rather not have it there at all.

Thank you

The XML bit you want is:

<lticm:property name="not_selectable">true</lticm:property>

this should prevent it from being selectable.

You can see how this should fit into the config on the Redirect Plus tool: https://www.eduappcenter.com/apps/6328

If you don't select to make the redirect selectable (the default) then you get that in the XML, you can see the generated XML at the bottom, for example a redirect that goes to https://www.instructure.com/

https://redirect.wyelearning.com/config.xml?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instructure.com&nav_course=true

I hope that helps.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but it works. It saves me a step to go to the apps page and manually turn off the "assignment and links selection" option.

Thank you.

You mean that it's still available as a placement for the LTI tool, but just disabled by default? If so, yeah, I agree it's not ideal. All the tools we write are now LTI 1.3 tools and when configuring a LTI 1.3 Developer Key in Canvas you have to select "Link Selection" if you want it to appear there, so it's much better.
