[LON-CAPA-users] View problems after due date with no answers?

Hi,

No, there is no setting like that. This goes back 20 years to the original CAPA.

There are "permutations" of these settings already in Bugzilla, see

http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4797
http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6206

for related functionality (score/no problem, answer/no score, …). Interestingly, I could not find this exact enhancement request in Bugzilla.

The problem is that all of this needs to be implemented for every response type, and some of them still have inconsistent "show answer" implementations:

http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31

In short, in order to really address this, a more comprehensive solution for the answer target needs to be found, so that all response types use the same functions instead of each implementing their own. This could also address

http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1889
http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6262

It's open source! Go for it!

- Gerd.
