All,
Any more ideas, please share and we?ll try them! We?re stumped.
If any list subscribers encounter similar intermittent disordering of
resources in a folder, as reported for a single course in the purdue
domain on January 29th (see:
mail.lon-capa.org/pipermail/lon-capa-users/2018-January/005273.html )
I wanted to report back on the resolution of this issue.
The cause of the problem was traced to the %randomorder package hash
in lonuserstate.pm.
To prevent this (rare) bug, domains running LON-CAPA 2.11.1 or 2.11.2
can patch their LON-CAPA instances with lonuserstate.pm rev.1.149.2.1,
as follows:
All on one line:
wget -O /home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache/lonuserstate.pm
'http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/rat/lonuserstate.pm?rev=1.149.2.1;content-type=text/plain'
then, depending on Linux distro/version:
service httpd reload
or
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload
or
/etc/init.d/httpd reload
This code change will also be incorporated in the next LON-CAPA release.
For details of the code change, see:
mail.lon-capa.org/pipermail/lon-capa-cvs/Week-of-Mon-20180326/028076.html

Thanks for the suggestion, Justin! I don?t believe that?s it,
though.
I?m attaching screenshots of the differences. It?s at the folder level.
Any more ideas, please share and we?ll try them! We?re stumped.
Thanks,
Joyce

Subject: Re: [Elt-dev] [LON-CAPA-users] Order of Contents Different
Between Course Coordinator/Students
LON-CAPA gives students a few options for sorting their contents:
* Default
* Title
* Due Date
* Has New Discussion
Have you verified that the affected students have used the default
sorting?

All,
We are having an issue where the Course Coordinator
of a course sets up the order of contents in a folder in the order
she wishes the students to access them. She has noticed that in the
student?s view, the order doesn?t always appear in that sequence,
however.
I?ve searched the Content Settings and there are no
special settings. I can?t recreate the issue by enrolling myself as
a
student. The order appears correct for me. But she has provided a
screenshot of a student?s screen, where the 7 folders within the
main
folder appear in a different order. She has noticed this different
view for 2 unique students. She has seen the different order appear
for the student on more than one device. She also witnessed this
happening last term.
Not a huge deal, but annoying for the instructor who
is trying to manage the order in which her student?s proceed through
the course.
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Joyce
