The course_visiblity field can have one of three values:
1. private (default): This keeps the standard access rules.
2. public_outline: Allows unenrolled and anonymous users access to the outline.
3. public: Allows unenrolled and anonymous users access to both outline and
course content.
When an unenrolled user accesses course content, instead of student_view(),
public_view() is used. A default implementation is provided for XBlocks
which do not implement this view. The public_view() must not have any
functionality which assumes the presence of a valid User and should show
a readonly only interface for the XBlock content.
- Updated styling on date in the top left corner
- Added horizontal line between updates
- Removed ability to toggle updates on and off
- Cleaned up code to always show all updates:
TNL-4115. Previously, course updates (which are intended to be posted with
dates, for sorting in the LMS) could be authored in studio with a valid
date, nothing, or a random string as the "date" for the update. As there
is no validation for this in studio, everything succeeded with no warning.
However, the LMS has problems parsing some of these values, and barfs when
loaded by learners.
The fix does two big things:
- gracefully handles invalid dates in LMS. These updates are now treated as
having a date of today, for sorting purposes.
- turns on validation in studio. Now, it is not only impossible to enter
invalid dates in studio, but notifications will draw the course author's
eye if any invalid updates were previously saved.
Test additions for this commit:
Adds:
- unit test for LMS parsing
- Jasmine test to confirm invalid dates cannot be set by the user
-also adds event to setAndValidate instead of using a global object
- fix for lettuce test
-It is no longer valid to enter the string "January 1, 2013" as this test
had been doing. Keyed-in entries must use MM/DD/YY format.
