[LON-CAPA-users] Easiest way to characterize a problem set in a course

[Stuart Raeburn]

Itay,

I have uploaded a perl module -- countresptypes.pm -- to a jce  
directory in my LON-CAPA portfolio in the msu domain. The file will be  
available until Sept. 1 00:00 EDT.

The URL you can use to download it is:
https://s10.lite.msu.edu/uploaded/msu/raeburn/portfolio/jce/countresptypes.pm

If you download this file and ask your system administrator to place  
it on your LON-CAPA server in /home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache with  
permissions:

-rw------- 1 www www /home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache/countresptypes.pm

and also add the following text:

<Location /adm/countresptypes>
AuthType LONCAPA
Require valid-user
PerlAuthzHandler       Apache::lonacc
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::countresptypes
ErrorDocument     403 /adm/login
ErrorDocument     406 /adm/roles
ErrorDocument     500 /adm/errorhandler
</Location>

to loncapa_apache_localjce.conf
in /etc/httpd/conf
with permissions/ownership on the file of: -rw-r--r-- root root

then do:
service httpd reload

a Course Coordinator will able to use:

/adm/countresptypes

to display totals of response types in a course.

Later today I will upload a modified version of countresptypes.pm  
which will display response type counts separately for each folder in  
the course.
