[LON-CAPA-users] linking to Lon-Capa content inside the same course

[Mills, Douglas G]

For reference, here's the URL I'm using to link from an index page to a specific problem in the course site:

/res/uiuc/decoste/202/video/1-01.problem?symb=uploaded%2fuiuc%2f5H4786101036d599euiuclibrary1%2fdefault_1503071711%2esequence___3___uiuc%2fdecoste%2f202%2fvideo%2f1%2d01%2eproblem

So my question is whether or not in a future semester when this course is copied, will the link above still work in the new course, or are there portions of the URL that reference this semester's course exclusively and will not work in the course course copy in a future semester?

Thank you!

HI All,

I'm working with an instructor who wants an index page to a particular set of problems. I know that I can create an HTML page with links to the problems inside the course and that works, but I'm wondering if there is a correct way of doing this so that when this course is copied over next time it's taught, the ids in the URLs are not all pointing to the old version of the course.  I'm pretty sure I've seen discussion of this before but am not sure what term(s) to search for to find it.  Thanks as always for your help!
