I found each enrolled student's current points in the Enrollments API by adding a "include[]=current_points" parameter. There is a similar parameter to get a course by id in Courses API, but I don't get a total score back (no…
Hi all, (I use sandbox with AWS Canvas Subscripiton.) Our tool requires user authorization for using Calendar API. However, users would be redirectd to Canvas login page when asking for permissions with authorization code path in iframe. It works perfectly when opening in a new tab, though.

EDIT: Updated the post to reflect some of the things I learned in comments and feedback to make this more clear. Good day! First time posting here, so here's to hoping I can make this easy to understand. I'm an instructor with a passion to automate manual tasks. Foregoing the fact that I'm using the Python canvasapi, I'm…

Hi, everyone. There are a few posts referencing Bootstrap/CSS that go back a few years, so trying to bubble this back up to the surface. I'm reviewing CSS as a way to increase instructional design workflows, as well as make code more equitable and useful for our team. Currently, I'm running into an issue with iconography…
Hi All, We are looking for a Grade Passthrough LTI or something along those lines which allows for the following: * Doesn't necessarily need to be in the gradebook. Perhaps a new page which opens. * Instructor sees Final Score, they can choose to override it if desired. * If the grade is an F they would get a drop down…

I am a Canvas Student user. I submitted a support ticket with my institution, which was elevated to Canvas' support team, but unfortunately the ticket never received any response so I thought I'd try my luck here in the community forum. My question is exactly as described in the subject above: how can we directly enumerate…
I am looking for a way to apply the "Restrict students from viewing course after term end date" to a select list of Canvas courses. You can set this for an account using the account Settings option, but I don't want to apply this for all courses in the account, only for a select list. Any advice on how I might be able to…
Hi, I have a technical question regarding QTI imports of quizzes, and I was wondering if someone familiar with Canvas imports could help me pin down the problem.

We've been launching jQueryUI tools in our custom JS file in Canvas for pretty much since we went live 6 years ago. A couple of weeks ago it came to my attention that a user was having a problem with their screen freezing when they would close an announcement from the dashboard. After much troubleshooting and some back and…
