Re: [edx-code] Xblocks course export version support

[Peter Pinch]

Unfortunately, there is no documentation on OLX version compatibility. There 
was some discussion at the last open EdX conference about creating some better 
tooling around versioning, but we didn’t get very far. 

If you have a concern about moving between specific versions, please share the 
details here or on the open edX slack channel. There are likely folks there who 
have tried it before.

Re: [edx-code] Open edX Video Management Survey

I’m finding myself frustrated by the form because I can choose only one option

everything into “other”

Thanks,

Re: [edx-code] When importing course with manage.py in Hawthorne, the "run" part of the course id is wrong

[Peter Pinch]

HI Rebecca. This was a change that we were struggling with at MIT for a long 
time. 

When you import a course in studio, the course run is already established. But 
when you import using the management command, it has to determine the course 
run from the course data (OLX). 

Unfortunately, the OLX format has varied slightly over edX releases. In 
particular, in birch, the course run was set in a few locations. But in 
subsequent releases, it was omitted from the OLX*. We (MIT Open Learning) 
submitted a PR to revert to the old export behavior, which will be part of 
Ironwood. 

In the meantime, it’s not too difficult to patch up your OLX export:

1. In the course.xml file at the root of your course data, set the value of the 
`url_name` on the root course node to the name of your run.
2. In the policies directory, change the name of the “course” directory to the 
name of your run. 
3. In the policy.json file, change the root key from “course/course” to 
“course/”

We had to do this enough times that we wrote a post-commit hook for git. If 
that’s helpful, I can see if we can share that. 

Good luck, and let us know if this helps.

* - technically, this didn’t change in a particular named release. It changed 
with the upgrade in modulestore from mongomodulestore to splitmodulestore. At 
MIT, we had delayed the change of modulestore for several releases, so it 
wasn’t until ginkgo that we realized this was an issue.

Re: [edx-code] Deprecation/Removal: External Auth Django App (DEPR-6)

[Peter Pinch]

The JIRA ticket isn’t open. I was hoping to get a better idea of the scope of 
the deprecation. 

Also, is a 2019-02-15 removal expected to be a change in Ironwood, or in 
Ironwood's successor?

Re: [edx-code] cannot connect to "latex2edx" server

[Peter Pinch]

As it says in the docs 
<https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/exercises_tools/problem_in_latex.html#problem-written-in-latex>,
 this is a prototype feature and not supported by edX. In particular, it relies 
on a web services run by a faculty-member at MIT. The service was down, but 
should be up again now. If isn’t working for you please let us know if a) you 
can reach https://studio-input-filter.mitx.mit.edu/latex2edx?raw=1 and b) what 
errors you are getting from the server. 

The server code is open source and is available from 
https://github.com/mitodl/latex2edx_xserver . If you rely on the server being 
available, you may want to try running it yourself. 

If you’re working with small snippets of Latex, you might find it easier to 
work with MathJax, which is supported by edX. See 
https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/exercises_tools/mathjax.html
 for details. 

Some course teams at MIT like to maintain their entire course (or chapters of 
it) in Latex. Most of them use the code at https://github.com/mitocw/latex2edx 
which lets you compile Latex into OLX offline for importing into edX. 

Sorry I can’t be of more help,

Re: [edx-code] limit or cap on the number of students enrollments

[Peter Pinch]

There's an advanced setting on courses called "Course Maximum Student 
Enrollment"

If I recall correctly, admin and staff are omitted from that count. I think 
it's limited to learners.

Re: [edx-code] Hand-written XML not appearing

[Peter Pinch]

Hi Colin. 

Error reporting on course imports is definitely lacking. If you're up for it, 
I'd recommending running a devstack locally and doing a test import. You can 
watch the logs while the course is imported and you might see some helpful 
hints. 

If you have an installation of open edX set up with the sysadmin feature turned 
on, you can see more logging by importing via git. This is equivalent to using 
the import management command, but the log output is stored in mongo and 
there's a "git logs" page in the sysadmin panel for viewing them. 

Even then, some errors don't show up in the logs and I've sometimes had to 
resort to a bisect and import strategy to identify the part of the course 
causing issues. 

- Peter

Re: [edx-code] How can i add a button after a section only for submitting a submission to a local folder on edx?

[Peter Pinch]

I’d recommend you start by looking at the “Staff Assessment” option of open 
response assessments: 
http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/exercises_tools/open_response_assessments/OpenResponseAssessments.html#staff-assessment-step

If that doesn’t meet your needs, you may want to try the SGA (Staff-Graded 
Assignments) XBlock. It comes packaged with open edX but you will need to 
enable it. There’s more documentation at 
https://github.com/mitodl/edx-sga/blob/master/README.rst

Re: [edx-code] OpenEDX custom courses

[Peter Pinch]

CCX is a lightweight way to re-use course content. Authorized "coaches" can run 
a "custom course" that allows them to change the enrollment and schedule, but 
not the content of the original course.

It doesn't have any impact (that I'm aware of) on the course catalog search. 
Neither does it allow changes to the about or info pages (although that's been 
in the backlog).

Re: [edx-code] How do I import class content onto a local server?

[Peter Pinch]

You just need to create a new course in studio and then import your .tar.gz 
file through the tools menu. 

See 
http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/releasing_course/export_import_course.html#import-a-course
 
<http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/releasing_course/export_import_course.html#import-a-course>

There's also a django management command for importing courses. And if you 
enable the sysadmin panel you can import courses from a git repository. Those 
options aren't well documented but we use them regularly at MIT.

Hi Ethan. You may want to take a look at the Custom Courses on edX feature

Re: [edx-code] help to up to date CAS integration

[Peter Pinch]

Hi Mahyar. I didn't realize you were using django_cas_ng. If it's working for 
you, then there's probably not much point for you testing our fork of 
django-cas. 

We have not been using django_cas_ng because it doesn't support django 1.4 (!) 
which the prior version of edX used (Cypress). Perhaps we should have switched 
to it when we upgraded to dogwood, instead of forking django-cas. 

What bugs have you run into with CAS and dogwood? There is an issue with 
profiles that we fixed with commit 9220c4d. You might want to cherry pick that.

Re: [edx-code] help to up to date CAS integration

[Peter Pinch]

Hi Mahyar. We're in the process of deploying Dogwood and CAS on campus at MIT 
right now and we've updated the django-cas library that open edX depends on.

Our latest version is at 
https://github.com/mitodl/django-cas/releases/tag/v2.1.1 
<https://github.com/mitodl/django-cas/releases/tag/v2.1.1> 

And we've submitted a pull request to edX to update edx-platform accordingly: 
https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/12998 
<https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/12998>

It would actually be super helpful if you could try this out and give some 
feedback on the pull request.

Re: [edx-code] Improving our support for the Open edX community

[Peter Pinch]

Thanks for asking Shauna. 

I'd add a couple of requirements:

- not only should it be easy to search, it should also be indexed by Google. 
Any new, authoritative information needs to crowd out old, non-official links 
in Google search results. 
- all threads (and ideally, all comments) should be addressable by unique URL. 
This makes it a lot easier to point people to specific answers and conversations

Re: [edx-code] Unable to import edX.org course into Dogwood.3

[Peter Pinch]

It’s pretty easy to edit the exported course. You just need to untar/unzip it, 
edit the policy.json file, and then tar/gzip it again. 

In the policy.json you just need to change the order of the tabs so that 
courseware is first. 

If you need more details, let me know (you can also try to find me on Slack).

Can I confirm that you encountered this problem when you exported a course from 
edx.org and then imported it into a dogwood devstack? 

Thanks,
Peter

Re: [edx-code] Unable to import edX.org course into Dogwood.3

[Peter Pinch]

I suspect this is the same issue as described in 
https://openedx.atlassian.net/browse/ECOM-4409 


If it is, you would see a message about an `InvalidTabsException` in your 
servers logs. 

It would be super helpful if you could add some steps to reproduce in on the 
JIRA ticket, because the original case that I reported doesn't exhibit error 
any more.

Re: [edx-code] OEP Suggestion: Display XBlocks as Course Tab

[Peter Pinch]

How would this affect course import and export?

I believe unrecognized blocks are ignored on import, but that may be harder to 
do with tabs, since they are specified in policy.json.

I'd also want to make sure that there is some meaningful logging and error 
messaging to the user when a course is imported and the proper XBlockTab hasn't 
been installed.

Re: [edx-code] Re: Search engine for course content

[Peter Pinch]

Unfortunately, there's no documented process for upgrading it.

If you don't need the student data to be migrated, I would recommend exporting 
the courses and importing them into a new (dogwood) instance of edX. The export 
OLX has been relatively stable and any compatibility issues can be addressed by 
editing the XML and JSON.

Apollinaire, that VM is quite old -- it predates edX's first named release.

The current search feature won't work with it. Have you considered upgrading?

Try this documentation:
http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/latest/configuration/edx_search.html

By default edx search will be installed automatically when you install the Open 
edX Platform. And you should just enable course indexing...
