Is there a feature on Canvas on the Student Profiles to have their student identification number for ease of access for themselves and us as teachers? Thanks in advance, Roxanne
Hi Canvas admin: I just have a question on uploading custom cascading style sheets (CSS) and JavaScript (JS) files on the theme editor page in this article: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-upload-custom-JavaScript-and-CSS-files-to-an-account/ta-p/253 My question is: in which cases we need to write…
Hi all! 👋 Background I'm new to Canvas LMS and working on integrating it with my tool (a knowledge assessment system) to allow students to take tests relevant to their courses. What I'm doing I deployed Canvas in a Docker container and created a new LTI key along with an app in Canvas. My tool is added to an assignment as…
Hi everyone, We’re integrating a self-hosted Canvas back-office with a frontend that fetches data via the API. While developing the authentication system, we encountered an issue with user roles. Our assumption was that each user would have a single, clearly defined role (e.g., Student or Teacher). However, we’ve noticed…
Hi all, I am an admin and Python novice. I am trying to create a script that will pull a user's pageviews within a date range and save that to a CSV file. To date, I have only be able to access the first page of results. I can't seem to get the script to navigate through subsequent pages. I have seen posts with example…
I'm looking for someone that has some knowledge on building Canvas from github. We have noticed that it uses outdated node/yarn libraries that have vulnerabilities in them. Does anyone know anything about building Canvas with updated node/yarn libraries?
Currently I see that Canvas opens the content selection view as a modal. Can I open it in a new window? Or can I change the height and width of this modal to increase it?
I am working on an LTI 1.3 integration and having issues figuring out why nothing seems to happen to Deep Link Response items returned from content selection. I am successfully launching the content selection from the drop down in the course_assignment_settings_link. Once content is selected and the form submitted, Canvas…
Hello: I have a chat widget thats sourced via iframe. (This is manage-hosted Canvas). I want a behavior similar to the Panda widget icon thats part of this community page. I included the iframe at the bottom of my page content like this: <</SPAN>div><</SPAN>iframe id="widget-parent" style="position: fixed; right: 0;…
Has anyone else experienced getting non-English words in their response data from the API? It has happened with other fields like name before but it stopped before I could get a copy of the data. This time it is the pronoun field for users and it looks like Arabic instead of English. This is the data that I get back in the…
Wondering if anyone knows how to navigate around or has any idea why my iframe slider isn't rendering when I try to view it in the Canvas App (I am on my iPhone but I have tested it in the Teacher and the Student apps). The iframe connects to an .html file, but THAT file--when accessed through the files section--opens in…
Hello, I'm trying to see if there is a way to automatically resize the popup iframe when creating a new assignment and choosing submission type external tool. I was able to make use of postMessage but it seems that using lti.frameResize only works on the iframe when you open an existing assignment, but not when you are…
We create IMSCC packages for import into Canvas. These packages contain LTI 1.1 links. We are having a problem whereby an extra non-functioning LTI tool is being created in the Canavs course when these packages are imported. We believe we are structuring the file "interoperabilitywebserviceltitool.xml" properly to avoid…
I'd like to know how to generate the PageViews_for_.csv file that you can get when you click on the Download as CSV button. The endpoint is //page_views.csv that I can see in the network tab of my developer tools: I suppose using a GET request would do the trick but I need to narrow it down to a specific date range. The…
