[Using Sakai] How to create a URL reference to an assignment in a course?

[Kevin Takacs]

If your Sakai instance is 2.8 or lower, you can use the Entity Picker
FCKEditor plugin, the install guide is here:

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SAKDEV/Entity+Picker+Installation+Guide

If your instance is a 2.9+, there is currently work in progress to add the
functionality of the Entity Picker to the linktool.

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22283

These links can also be created manually and pasted into the source tab of
your wysiwyg editor.

1. Create an assignment and copy the title link on the assignments list in
the tool.

Ex.
http://localhost:8080/xsl-portal/tool/86070927-294c-416a-bd49-e37606ea3d84?assignmentId=/assignment/a/da32d289-977d-47f8-b4bc-17ed8766e83c/3bfd6f10-0111-4a5f-b6d4-0294fe30c0f2&panel=Main&sakai_action=doView_assignment

In this example 3bfd6f10-0111-4a5f-b6d4-0294fe30c0f2 is the assignment id.

2. Create an html anchor and set the href to your instance +
/direct/assignment/ + assignment id.

Ex.
<a href="
http://localhost:8080/direct/assignment/3bfd6f10-0111-4a5f-b6d4-0294fe30c0f2">Assignment
1</a>

3. Click the source button for your wysiwyg editor and paste this anchor
tag then save.
