[LON-CAPA-users] Using Advanced editor for sequences

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:16:12 -0400

<div>So, I need to always check the Blocking this link if false. OK, I can =
deal with that. Do I only get one statement? For example, does the f=
ollowing work? $a =3D 2; $b =3D 4; $a gt $b For just ch=
ecking &amp;EXT values I imagine a single (perhaps complicated) expression =
should be fine, but I can imagine wanting to do some logic first. An=
d, where is Problem Grades? I'm sorry, I know I saw this once before, but I=
 can't find it anywhere. I have looked in "Modify user grades for this reso=
urce", but it seems to want an actual student. I looked around in problem p=
arameters with no luck; I don't see anything in the Main Menu that sounds r=
ight:( Thanks, brew </div>-----lon-ca=

bsp; &gt; code in there, but this sounds like I get one boolean expressi=
on. Yes, only one boolean ... but that's enough to do what you want =
above. &gt; If there is documentation somewhere describing how t=
o use this &nbsp; &gt; editor, please point me to it! The help file just=
 shows adding a &nbsp; &gt; resource to the map, basically the same as I=
 can do in the simple &nbsp; &gt; editor. I don't see any mention of cod=
ing the conditions. You would make use of the &amp;EXT()-functio=
n. Others on this list have &nbsp; done this, and someone might already =
have an example of your scenario &nbsp; above. &gt; &gt; &g=
t; Also - how do you test these sequences? If I go in as Course &nbsp; &=
gt; Coordinator and try the problem, I cannot reset the randomization/ =
&gt; clear my answer and retry the problem. Once I have answered a &nbsp;<b=
r>&gt; problem, it seems to be set in stone, even if I delete the sequence =
&nbsp; &gt; from the course and re-add it as a new resource. How do I cl=
ear my &nbsp; &gt; answer? In Problem Grades you can clear the st=
atus of the problem. &gt; &gt; Can I test the sequence from withi=
n the editor (as author for &nbsp; &gt; example)? Nope. &g=
t; It seems that I have to publish the sequence, delete the previous &nbsp;=
 &gt; version from the course, and re-add the new version. Even then, it=
 &nbsp; &gt; seems to still use the old version - yes, I did the course =
re- &gt; initialization button. No, simply re-publishing the seq=
uence and then re-initializing the &nbsp; course should do the trick. Yo=
u can also re-initialize your role on &nbsp; the Roles screen, that does=
 the same thing. - Gerd. =5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=5F=
