Needs help with about.html page..

[Sang Won Lee]

I am trying to customize '/edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/template/static_template/about.html' page.

However whenever I add the following code, and restart lms, I encounter 500 server error

<h1>${_("About")}</h1>

<section>

<div class="photo">

<img src="${static.url('images/executive.png')}" height="100" alt="" />

</div>

</section>

According to the log, it looks like that 'static.url' cannot be recognized during utf-8 conversion.

Any helps would be greatly appreciated :)

Thank you

Hi,

It is probably as simple as missing the import of the static namespace, which should look like this:

https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/master/lms/templates/footer.html#L9

Let me know if that doesn't fix your issue and I can help you further.

 - Andy

Dear Andy

I have posted the following problem in Open-OPS forum. But could not get any response. It was quite urgent.

Kindly help or refer to someone who can help me on this. First time I am facing such a problem with LMS after the fresh install.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openedx-ops/L6uhblHtw_c

I have installed Dogwood release 3. and successfully setup the environment.
As a staff user or super user, I am able to see all the courses when I find courses to enroll in my LMS dashboard.
However, if I login as learner user (user is active), I don't get to see any courses when I click on "Find Courses" . Even the default account like ho...@example.com, cannot find any courses. For the default accounts, they are already enrolled in Demo course. For new learner users, even Demo course is not appearing in "Find Courses". It was working fine in a master installation I had done before. Is there any change in the Dogwood release? Attached file shows, how my dashboards looks when I find courses.

LMS and NGINX logs are not showing any errors. I can see only following entry corresponding to that time in lms/edx.log
May 13 13:25:32 EDX-TEST [service_variant=lms][edx.footer][env:sandbox] INFO [EDX-TEST  19159] [api.py:286] - Failed to find footer logo at 'themes/edx.org/images/logo.png', using 'images/logo.png' instead

The page that course schedule gives for users to enroll also gives a page not found error. Everything is working fine as a staff user and super user.
I am attaching the screen shots.

Thanks

Bindu Rajesh
