Ah, thanks, Stuart! I've been scratching my head for the last couple of
days, testing and re-testing it, thinking that I had done something wrong.
Yes, we are in the process of upgrading from Version 2.5.0-2007081514 to a
newer version. I guess we need to upgrade to 2.10.0 then if we want to use
time slots properly.
If we are stuck with an older version of Lon Capa, can we create s separate
course (called, say, the "time-slots-sign-up" course) just for the purpose
of students signing up for time slots? Such a course will be separate from
the course containing the Test/Exam. If that works, I understand that I
need to have at least one ".problem" in this "time-slots-sign-up" course.
Does this ".problem" have to be the one that Felicia gave previously
(/res/msu/felicia/sign-up.problem)? I can import it, but how do I see the
internal coding of it?
Thanks,
Amos Lee
