[LON-CAPA-users] uploading test scores

The 'Upload' resource is in fact a very simple homework problem:
<problem>
<displaytitle />
<script type="loncapa/perl">
$weight=&EXT('resource.0.weight');
if ((!defined($weight)) || ($weight eq '')) { $weight=1; }
$awarded=&EXT('user.resource.resource.0.awarded');
if (!defined($awarded)) { $awarded=0; }
</script>
<startouttext />
You have <display>$awarded*$weight</display> out of $weight possible points.
<endouttext />
<notsolved><numericalresponse id='score' /></notsolved>
</problem>

If you want it to round, make a new resource with the above contents
but change:


You have <display>$awarded*$weight</display> out of $weight possible points.

To

You have <display>&roundto($awarded*$weight,0)</display> out of $weight possible points.

Publish this and use it as the upload problem.
