[LON-CAPA-users] {Disarmed} Re: Invalid Access when using colleague's Problem in a Sequence?

[Mills, Douglas G]

Thank you Ray. May was a long time ago, but I now recall you mentioning that back then. I’ll go back and doublecheck the sequence I did back then, but I’m fairly certain you’re right and that’s what I’m missing.  Back to it tomorrow. Thanks!

Doug

Possibly you need to:
Use the RAT (advanced sequence editor) and make sure you have an alternate branch to, say, the Finish resource of the sequence using a contition that is valid whenever the other condition is not.

I seem to recall, vaguely, that the correct statement of the conditions was somewhat confusing, though.

(1) Ok — looks like that was a quirk of my browser (Safari 5.1) insisting on encoding all inputs into the text boxes in the Sequence dialogues. I noticed it was encoding the conditions I was putting in, went over to Firefox and then thought to try re-entering the paths to the resources as well and it now works.

(2) Although I said below that using the same problem multiple times under different aliases seemed to work when it was a problem I had authored, I hadn’t gone far enough — the conditionals do not seem to work for that. No matter, the same problem can be cloned to multiple instances and that works.

(3) ONE REMAINING ISSUE/QUESTION:  I worked on sequences back in May after the users conference and all seemed to be fine. Just getting back to it now and I’m finding that in contrast to the conditional sequence I successfully created back then, the ones I’m creating now seem to be insisting on hiding ALL subsequent content in the course, not just the subsequent content in the sequence itself.  Anyone else seen this happen? Once the condition is satisfied, everything, not just the following parts of the sequence, becomes available.  You’d think I was missing a closing tag somewhere if it were html markup.  The conditional sequence I created in May is the first thing in my practice course and doesn’t affect any subsequent content...

Thanks in advance for any /all help!

HI All,

I’m attempting to use a colleague’s problem in a sequence I’m creating and getting the following message when I try to access it within my course:

LON-CAPA Access Control

Access  : Browse resources
Resource: /res/uiuc/cyerkes/Chem_102_/problems/on-line%20quizzes/Calculation_Quiz.problem
Action  : Invalid Access
Sorry ...
This action is currently not authorized.

Am I doing something wrong?  If I import her problem directly into my course that works fine. If I click on the sequence within the course editor, the first problem (same as the one causing the message above) shows up.  Clicking on it though from Course Contents produces the error message above.

We are attempting to use the same problem three times in the sequence (each time it’s for fewer points — we’re wanting to use a conditional in the sequence to prevent students from taking attempt 3 first for the least amount of points and finishing on attempt1 for total points...) I thought that might be the cause, but it works fine using the same problem multiple times if it’s my problem...

I believe the documentation says I should be able to use any resource I have permission to use in a sequence, right?  Thanks for any guidance!
