[Gordon, Patricia (psg3a)]

P.S. We have been running this code in our environment since 2.8 (we are now running 2.9.1).

Subject: Re: [Using Sakai] Assignment URLs in a lessons page?

All,

Our Sakai developer team at UVa (University of Virginia) has contributed patches to the Sakai community for using the Resources Browser in Sakai's CKeditor to link to Assignments, Forums, and Tests & Quizzes (in addition to Resources). We also contributed patches to handle the link migration from one site to another. These can all be found in https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22283.

I believe these contributions are slated for the Sakai 10 release.

If you have questions, please let us know.

Don't know what entity broker is. We used to have a feature in the CK Editor that allowed one to browse, find quizzes, etc., and insert the links into a document. This broke around Version 8 or 9 of Sakai.

Can you get a link to the assignment via entity broker?  I thought there was a provider to give you direct links.

I'm not sure if what I do is what you mean by "manually browsing
around," but here's the kludge I use. At the bottom of the Lessons page
in question, I put an html block with a dashed line and text saying to
ignore everything below here. Then under the line I put any
user-unfriendly Lessons blocks I need. Back above the line, I compose my
HTML pages how I want them. When I need a link to the user-unfriendly
stuff, I just right-click, copy the link, and put it in the nicely
formatted stuff above the line.

In some cases, I'm even able to hide a lessons page, insert all the
blocks on it that want, copy a URL, and then go to unhidden pages and
insert the link wherever I need it.

Hope this helps. Even more, I hope Lessons fixes this obvious need.

Is there any way to have a single page Lessons block, and include links to assignments in it?

Having to  have individual blocks for every item in every assignment seems too piecemeal to me; and I typically have a single document with a list of assignments, readings, descriptions, etc.

I understand that if one wanted to have individual pages for every lesson that might be also a reasonable structure, but I prefer to have the entire wholeness of the flow in one place.

I can insert URLs for resources, but not for assignments associated with a lesson that I can see.

I'd be happy to just have this as a html page under another tab instead of Lessons, but fined the same problem, html (easily) cannot link to assignments.

[Yes, I've seen before that I can manually browse around and copy URLs of assignment pages as a fallback.]
