Sorry to clutter the airwaves today... It may be worth noting for others that 
while the code provided by Yuk below works when the problem is brought into a 
course, it does NOT suppress feedback when in the authoring space. This is in 
contrast to, for example, coding into the xml the number of attempts on a 
question, which does manifest in the authoring space.

Hi Doug,

You can add the following parameter in your XML to turn off feedback.

<parameter type="string_problemstatus" default="no" description="Show Problem 
Status" name="problemstatus" />

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] XML parameter controlling feedback options?

HI All,

I know that the general authoring preference is to leave things as generic as 
possible to let instructors set things at the course level, but we have some 
content used in very specific contexts and not really generalizable beyond 
those contexts. To facilitate uniform usage there it would be convenient to 
code a default behavior into the multiple choice questions of not providing 
feedback until the answers date is reached. I'm guessing this is possible but 
can anyone confirm and provide the necessary code, similar I'm assuming to the 
code below for hard-coding the time limits?

Thanks as always,

Doug

    Mark,

    Yes, by adding something like this to the XML of the problem, where the 
default value (500) is the time-limit (in seconds):

    <parameter name="interval" type="date_interval" default="500" 
description="Time-Limit" />

    In the table view of parameters (in course context) for the specific 
resource, the default value set in the published problem will be displayed in 
the Resource level (default) column.  If the problem has been imported into a 
course, and a Course Coordinator preferred not to use a time limit, this 
parameter could be overridden by setting the time limit to 0, using a column to 
the right of the Resource level (default) column, e.g., the" in Course, for 
Resource" column.
