We needed to be able to grab the user's email address so that we could send
it to an external API, so we changed the file:
edx-platform

/html_module.py
in the class HtmlModuleMixin(HtmlBlock, XModule) (lines added are in green)
def get_html(self):
data = self.data
if self.system.user_is_staff:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
user = User.objects.get(id=self.system.user_id)
data = data.replace("%%USER_EMAIL%%", user.email)
elif self.system.anonymous_student_id:
data = data.replace("%%USER_ID%%",
self.system.anonymous_student_id)
if getattr(self.system, 'get_real_user', None):
user =
self.system.get_real_user(self.system.anonymous_student_id)
if user and user.is_authenticated():
data = data.replace("%%USER_EMAIL%%", user.email)
return data
