[LON-CAPA-users] offsetting due dates, etc. from semester to semester?

When shifting by a number of days (say 126 or 133 perhaps) when cloning a Fall to a Spring semester, you'll want to check and revise some of the actual cloned time parameters because there will be no correction for the changes from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. Those added 126 days will be all exactly 24 hours each.
Heh.

P.S. In case you are not already using this,
Modify parameter settings --> Set parameter setting default actions
is very useful for reducing the number of parameters that one has to set manually.

At the time of cloning a course, a domain coordinator can shift all date parameters by a fixed number of days.

Hi All,
Is there a way I'm forgetting or ignorant of to more or less offset the due dates from Fall semester to Spring semester in a course site? We copy over our course sites from semester to semester and normally just make those changes by hand, but in a course with 84 sections and section-specific opening and due dates, it would be a great thing to discover there's a way to offset the original times by 20 weeks or whatever it is (and of course manually adjust for Spring break, etc.). Does that exist somehow, somewhere? Thanks,
Doug
