Doug,
Use conditions of the following type (for each link between resources in your
conditional sequence)
((&EXT('resource.0.answerdate','alias') > 0) &&
(&EXT('system.time') > &EXT('resource.0.answerdate','alias')))
with "Blocking this link if false" checked, where alias is the appropriate
mapalias for each problem for which the answerdate should be checked.
If you already have an existing condition for each link of type: "Blocking this
link if false", you could use || (i.e. OR) between the two conditions, such
that the link will be unblocked if either the existing condition, or this new
one, (based on answerdate), evaluates to true.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] checking for SHOW_ANSWER status in a Sequence
Conditional?
Hi All,
I know that within a problem you can use $external::datestatus to check for
"SHOW_ANSWER" status. Is there any way to do this within a conditional in a
sequence? I'm thinking there must be a way to allow students who did not
complete a conditional sequence to see all the parts of the sequence once
answers become available but I'm not finding a way to embed
$external::datestatus successfully into the conditional in a sequence and I'm
not seeing another way to check for that. Guidance as always appreciated!
