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

[Gregory Guthrie]

I think we are not patched – will have to see how to do that.
We just have a binary install of 2.8 – we were not sure if 2.9.x was stable and mainstream yet – will upgrade now!
Thanks.

-------------------------------------------
This code was added about a fortnight ago, into trunk only. I presume you have patched? What do you get when you go to /direct/assignment/describe ?

Hmm, sorry to be dense, but I am trying to get the list of assignments as you describe, and copied the site-id from the front page
   http://sakai.mysite/portal/site/48745a63-5bab-4f9b-9420-34c9dc8bbf36
and tried:
   http://sakai.mysite/direct/assignment/site/48745a63-5bab-4f9b-9420-34c9dc8bbf36.xml

  But get this error – am I missing something simple here?
   Attempted to access an entity URL path (/assignment/site/48745a63-5bab-4f9b-9420-34c9dc8bbf36.xml) for an entity (/assignment/site) that does not exist

-------------------------------------------
Yep

/direct/assignment/site/siteid.format gives you a list of assignments for the site. That's for trunk and was part of project Keitai. Search jira and there is a commit or two you can pull back to other versions. The URL API is documented in that jira too.

Cheers

I see how I could copy URLs from the assignments page, and then extract the internal ID from the URL, and then paste that into a /direct/assignment/id/ and form a new URL, and then paste that in as a hyperlink (phew!), but is there a simpler way? (using 2.9.2)

-------------------------------------------
Steve,
Thanks – how do I get the ID to use for each assignment?

Greg
You can use entity broker to get a URL directly to an assignment. /direct/assignments/id

Note that it opens without the portal surround.

I want to have a daily lesson overview syllabus, and include in it the topics, readings, and a link to the assignments for that day.

How do I create those links? When I try to insert a hyperlink and browse, so far I only see resources as candidate links.
