Overview

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/Code-with-Ski/Canvas-LMS-Mods Website with Feature Overviews: https://code-with-ski.github.io/Canvas-LMS_Mods-Website/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOST PERMISSIONS CHANGE To allow all Canvas LMS users on a custom domain to use this without needing to request and wait for the next update, the host permissions have been changed to allow all domains optionally. By default, the Instructure hosted Canvas LMS domains should work upon installation. To ensure these features aren't accidentally applied to a website that isn't the Canvas LMS, all other domains are permitted as optional. To use this extension with a custom domain, you will need to update the settings on the extension to list it as a specific approved site or when clicked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This Chrome extension modifies and adds to the Canvas LMS GUI to improve productivity and functionality for users. Most features are targeted to support admins and/or teachers, but some features are useful to all users. It adds additional information that may be useful to users by adding new elements with details that are in the source code, but not currently visible and/or from Canvas LMS API calls. It also adds additional features like search functionalities on pages without a native search/filter. Users are able to control which features they want to use through the options. This allows them to disable features they don't want and/or that may conflict with other settings/customizations they have on their instance of Canvas LMS. Updates with version 7.5.1: - Updated column sort on People page of course to work with new UI. - Updated column sort on People page of course to use the Canvas API to get the last activity time of users (if applicable) for easier handling of comparisons for sorting that aren't language dependent. - Updated sorting of total activity time to be based on expected format of cells rather than requiring a specific column name - Removed specific column name requirements so it should be able to work with other languages (*May need additional testing) Updates with version 7.5.0: - Updated rubric import feature to work with UI changes in classic rubric design Updates with version 7.4.1: - Updated icon file paths in manifest - Updated better handling of when no student courses are found for the course grades feature on the Dashboard Updates with version 7.4.0: - Updated the Export Grades button on the Assignment page to be based on the SpeedGrader link rather than the graded ratio - Updated the Sub-Account features to work with the new re-design - Added a browser option to auto-expand the Sub-Accounts on page load (enabled by default) Updates with version 7.3.2: - Added console error messages for failed paginated requests - Added error handling when account IDs are not found when loading the Admin Quick Access account select menu - Fixed placement of checkbox for showing inactive enrollments - Grouped add people and export button together for better handling on smaller screens - Grouped the role select and section select menus together for better Updates with version 7.3.1: - Fixed bug with terms select menu for user's course enrollment filter (admin) Updates with version 7.3.0: - Added ability to load SIS course ID under each of the courses in the user's course enrollments (admin) - Added ability to filter user's course enrollments (admin) by SIS course ID - Grouped user's course enrollments filters by type (search inputs grouped together, and select menus grouped together) - Added "rejected" enrollment state as option for the course enrollments report Updates with version 7.2.0: - Added ability to clear and/or download loading messages on custom reports - Added new filters to course enrollments when admin view a user's profile from account People search: roles filter, course name search, and course code search - Added support for Simple Search on course enrollments of a user's profile from account People search - Updated design and style of dialog for Simple Search to include a header, body, and footer to more closely resemble dialogs in Canvas Updates with version 7.1.0: - Updated loading message area on custom reports to scroll - Updated reports to append loading messages rather than replace to be able to review loading messages - Improved error messages and handling of failed requests in custom reports to assist with debugging and making it clear to the user when a part of the report generation fails.
