Hello all, I've searched the community but can't find this scenario. First, I'm little more than a beginner/intermediate coder. I don't live in html and css, although I understand it fairly well. I just have minimal experience writing it. So, my code may not be pretty or the most efficient. I can take some constructive…
I'm wondering if anyone is working on a way to see SharePoint files to use as Cloud Assignments like with Office 365? Our District utilizes SharePoint for collaboration between our staff and it would be awesome if they could store all their departmental assessment files (word, ppt, etc.) in SharePoint to create assignments…
Is there a way to hide Reset Course Content for everyone but the Admins? I found this code but it doesn't work. $('aside#right-side a.reset_course_content_button').hide();document.querySelector('aside#right-side a.reset_course_content_button').style.display='none';document.querySelector('aside#right-side…
A few years ago, there was an issue with too much of the API being locked behind an Admin token. Most of that got fixed so that anything a teacher could see in their course was made available with a teacher token. BUT... I found one that I think was missed: Grading Standards set at the parent/root account level. A teacher…
Hi all, I'm relatively new to Canvas APIs and APIs in general. We are getting ready to set up a new campus portal. Currently, we are exploring a Sharepoint option since we use Office365. I'm curious if anyone has ever set anything like this up where a user logs into the campus portal and can access their To-Do List. If so…
https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/courses.html#method.courses.user_index So in this partition is a line that states: "Returns a paginated list of active courses for this user. To view the course list for a user other than yourself, you must be either an observer of that user or an administrator." The partition that I…
I have asked the same question in an existing post thread. (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Developers-Group/Notification-Preferences-API/m-p/153878#M3972) I hope the new post will be exposed to a larger audience. The notification setting(icon) of "announcement_created_by_you" does not show the correct setting after the…
For a few days I have been trying to create a javascript that fetches json from the api. Finally I figured out something that works more or less... The idea is to generate a list of assignments on a course page. The locked ones will be grey, the unlocked ones will be green. For now I am just trying to fetch the json fromt…
I am trying to get me head around the Content Exports and Content Migration APIs. If I want to import the content from one course to another (all content), do I first need to run the Content Exports before I can run the Content Migration? Or can I just run the Content Migration and import the material from one course to…
Is it possible to create a data stream (what we would normally create in the Data Services tab using the UI) on behalf of the user? I've checked the API documentation and I couldn't quite find any endpoints that would assist in the creation/retrieval of information concerning data streams for an organization. It would be…
I am trying to add 2 more link to the login page and my custom javascript code doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know a better solution?
I'm hoping to just get some confirmation that what I see is accurate. If we have an LTI Tool that we want a user to be able to add via EduAppCenter or by URL (using consumer token and shared secret) this is expected to be confirmed via the oauth_signature on launch. If the app additionally needs to access the API on behalf…
I am struggling to properly verify an oauth signature. What I have done so far... * Added an LTI app via Paste XML and provided a consumer key and shared secret * Tried to verify the oauth_signature that is passed by Canvas on the launch I'm using C#/.net-core and libraries for this seem to be non-existent. I've attempted…
Hi, I am developing a tool that creates pdf's of all submissions of a quiz. I am able to retrieve the given answer and the score of a submission, but not the correct answer. Does anyone have a clue how to retrieve this information from the REST API? Here is an example screenshot of the current tool. In case of an incorrect…
Hello everyone I am trying to set integration between our PeopleSoft system and Canvas. One of the things I have been asked to do is to deactivate a student when they withdraw from a course. I think I have everything working as planned. Except I am receiving an error message on the delete call. Here is the URL I am using.…
