Newbie here. With a minimal coding background - I am curious about the best way to get CSS started in a new theme & new subaccount to enhance the student experience. Any help is greatly appreciated! @James I've run across multiple posts where you have shared detailed knowledge over implementation of CSS - in case you'd…
Is there anyway to fetch course material file contents for example all the files under modules for the class using a Canvas LTI key?
I'm writing a course extension process and am stuck at this step. Currently the way we extend courses beyond course/term dates is through the GUI in this manner (luckily they are few and far between): - create a new section in the course and assign the new end date to it - check the box that limits student access -…
Howdy! I'm currently on an adventure to deploy course rubrics from a central course and apply them to courses that need them. I am trying to accomplish using the Content Exports and Content Migration APIs. I can get the entire course to export, but I am trying to export just the rubrics, ideally specific rubrics. The body…
Hi, all. I have been trying for literal weeks to get JavaScript to fire in Canvas using event listeners -- no taboo HTML tags -- and I can't seem to get it to work. The JS works fabulously on other servers, but something about the way Canvas calls it is throwing an error that the properties haven't loaded. (For those who…
Hello, I am new to the API and DAP. Is there any easy way to calculate current marks for students? It sounds simple but it looks like a complicated calculation, roughly the average of all required assignments mapped to a mark using the grading scheme for the section. Is there a handy GitHub repo that I can leverage? Thanks…
I have my own self hosted instance of Canvas for development testing of the Canvas API. I created a developer key and followed step 1 for rerouting the user to Canvas for authentication. I am led to the Canvas instance page and asked to input my login credentials as expected. The problem arises after I enter my credentials…
Hi, all. I'm trying to do an API call to generate a 'proserv_student_submissions_csv' report with the 'updated_last' parameter. I saw that parameter was available after running the available reports request and getting this for that report's available parameters: { 'enrollment_term_id': {'required': False, 'description':…
Hi all! I deployed canvas lms for my school. Previously we had a server for student to submit programming problem and return the score. I want to use canvas ui and student can just submit their code in the ui and return the results. Can i have some guidance how to do this? Thanks!
Hi All, Customer keep copying the course for multiple times, but "Context.id.history" : ID of most recent copy not appearing first item in string. Does any one faced this issue ? Thanks, Deepak C S
We have someone in our organization developing a customer application for building Canvas quizzes. As the admin, I've provided them an API Developer Key with scopes enforced. The application supports classic quizzes, but they also want to build for Canvas New Quizzes. Some of the New Quizzes REST API endpoints they are…
Hello, I am a programmer recently assigned to support canvas and I am using Post Man to test out the API and I am encountering an issue with the search all API endpoint. The end point I am using is this, /api/v1/search/all_courses?public_only=1&per_page=100 and I am getting a unauthorized error, { "status": "unauthorized",…
Hi everyone! We are trying to use the Calendar Events API ( https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/calendar_events.html#method.calendar_events_api.user_index ) to pull only assignments. Unfortunately, despite testing it only returns an empty bracket []. I attached images of both the Postman call and the calendar of the…
I'm trying to identify the login URL for a student so I can automatically email them the message "click here to login with your username and password." Why don't I just send everybody our login? Not all of our students login via our college. Because we have both "home" students (enrolled directly) and "external" students…
I wanted to build something cool during my summer break and decided to make a chrome extension with the Canvas api. I spent a couple of weeks on it and spent much time on it each day. After that, I went to apply to be a partner. A week has gone by and no response. I'm not sure if I should just give them more time, but I'm…
