Course creation on Runestone

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

On my Runestone server, I've done the following:

1. Build a PreTeXt book, which creates the basecourse (Math3410)

2. Add a course (3410 Test), using rsmanage addcourse, with the previously created basecourse

3. Add a user, using rsmanage adduser, assigned to the 3410 Test course as an instructor

When I log in using the instructor account, I get a page that looks like the screenshot below, and if I try to access the Instructor's Page, I get an Insufficient Privileges message.

I am missing something, but I'm not sure what.

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

I tried adding the instructor account to the basecourse instead.

I no longer get the broken page of raw HTML, but I still get sent to http://vrunestone.uleth.ca/user/not_authorized (with the Insufficient Privileges message) when I try to view the instructor page.

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

Apparently it was necessary to restart the server. (The documentation seems to suggest otherwise.)

But the "3410 Test" course that I tried to build using the base course still turns up as raw HTML

[Sean Fitzpatrick]

OK I think the problem there is the space in the name. (rsmanage does not complain when you do this!)

[Jones, Bryan]

Sean,

Does eliminating the space in the name fix all your problems, or is there more to do? (Obviously, we need to change rsmanage to reject course names containing spaces...)

I think things are under control now.

Not urgent, but I noticed that the instructions for setting up LTI don't work for me: there's supposed to be an LTI option under the admin tab on the instructor's page, but it's not there for me.

Sean,

Would you mind creating an issue at https://github.com/RunestoneInteractive/RunestoneServer/issues to remind me (or Brad) to fix rsmanage? (Disallow spaces and any other characters that cause problems when creating a new course).

To fix the missing tab, you must set setting.lti_integration = True. You can simply rename RunestoneServer/models/1.py.prototype to 1.py, since it's on by default there. Let me know if that helps!
