[LON-CAPA-users] Application of new style after problem opening

Sun Nov 8 19:54:38 EST 2020

Itay,

When a student displays a problem with the parameter CSS file to link(cssfile) set to point at a CSS file, and in effect for the current student, then the styles defined in that file will apply when rendering the problem.  Whether the folder was previously opened (and submissions were made) is immaterial.

However, currently if you select "Manual Grading/View Submissions" from the Grading interface and select "Select individual students to grade and view submissions" and the choose either "one student" or "all students" in the "View Problem Text" row, those CSS styles are applied when rendering the student's current view of the problem.

The reason is that for each resource, when LON-CAPA adds the <link> tag(s) which reference(s) the css file(s) in effect, those tags are included between the <head></head> tags in the resource, but during assembly of the grading page the HTML in the head portion of each rendered resource is removed.

Anyway, I filed a bug report: https://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6943, implemented changes so css file(s) for resource(s) will be incorporated in the grading page, when rendering of the student's current view of the problem for the grading interface, and marked 6943 as resolved.

Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] Application of new style after problem opening

Hi

I applied a new display style (parameter : css file to link) to a folder containing already-opened problems.
My assumption was that the new styling will apply (after the standard 10min grace period).
Looking at previous student submissions, the problems are displayed with the old style.

Am I correct to assume that when the student will revisit a problem she will be presented with the new shiny style?

Thank you
