eox-tagging 7.0.0

eox-tagging

Eox-tagging (A.K.A. Edunext Open extensions) is an openedx plugin, that adds the capability to tag edx-platform objects. These tags can be used to categorize, include extra information, and so on.

Installation

Open edX devstack

• Install a supported version of the Open edX devstack. See versions for more details.

• Clone the git repo:

cd ~/Documents/eoxstack/src/  # Assuming that devstack is in  ~/Documents/eoxstack/devstack/
sudo mkdir edxapp
cd edxapp
git clone [e-mail]:eduNEXT/eox-tagging.git

• Install plugin from your server (in this case the devstack docker lms shell):

cd ~/Documents/eoxstack/devstack  # Change for your devstack path (if you are using devstack)
make lms-shell  # Enter the devstack machine (or server where lms process lives)
cd /edx/src/edxapp/eox-tagging
pip install -e .
python manage.py lms migrate eox_tagging --settings=<your app settings>

Open edX with Tutor (Maple)

If you are using Tutor to deploy the Open edX instance, please follow this steps:

1. Install a new fresh instance of tutor following this steps. If you already have a tutor instance running you can skip this step.

2. Add to the Tutor configuration in the file cat "$(tutor config printroot)/config.yml" this lines that install eox-tagging and eox-core lib:

   OPENEDX_EXTRA_PIP_REQUIREMENTS:
   - eox_core
   - eox_tagging

3. Create a new tutor plugin that adds this settings to openedx common settings:

   EOX_TAGGING_GET_ENROLLMENT_OBJECT = "eox_tagging.edxapp_wrappers.backends.enrollment_l_v1"
   EOX_CORE_USERS_BACKEND = "eox_core.edxapp_wrapper.backends.users_m_v1"

   Note

   Here is an example of creating a tutor plugin with a yaml file. But there are other ways to create tutor plugins, please go to tutor docs and see how to add settings in Open edX common settings.

4. Install the plugin doing tutor plugins enable eox-tagging-plugin and then tutor config save.

5. Build the openedx image doing tutor images build openedx.

6. Start the tutor instance with the new config doing tutor local quickstart.

7. All set to use eox-tagging lib!

The following changes to the plugin settings are necessary. If the release you are looking for is not listed, then the accumulation of changes from previous releases is enough.

Ironwood

EOX_TAGGING_GET_ENROLLMENT_OBJECT: "eox_tagging.edxapp_wrappers.backends.enrollment_i_v1"
EOX_TAGGING_GET_COURSE_OVERVIEW: "eox_tagging.edxapp_wrappers.backends.course_overview_i_v1"
EOX_TAGGING_BEARER_AUTHENTICATION: "eox_tagging.edxapp_wrappers.backends.bearer_authentication_i_v1"

Koa, Lilac, Maple, Nutmeg, Olive, Palm and Quince

EOX_TAGGING_GET_ENROLLMENT_OBJECT: "eox_tagging.edxapp_wrappers.backends.enrollment_l_v1"

Those settings can be changed in eox_tagging/settings/common.py or, for example, in ansible configurations.

NOTE: the current common.py works with Open edX Lilac version.

Usage

See the How to section for a detailed guidance on: Model, configurations and API usage.

Important notes:

• All the comparison with string objects are case insensitive.

• If a tag owner is not defined, then it is assumed to be the site.

Examples

Example 1:

{
    "validate_tag_value":{
        "in":[
            "example_tag_value",
            "example_tag_value_1"
        ]
    },
    "validate_access":{
        "equals":"PRIVATE"
    },
    "validate_target_object":"OpaqueKeyProxyModel",
    "owner_object":"User",
    "tag_type":"tag_by_example"
}

This means that:

• Tag value must be in the array

• The field access must be equal to private

• The target type must be equal to CourseOverview

• The owner type must be equal to User

• Tag_type must be equal to tag_by_example

Example 2:

{
    "validate_tag_value":{
        "exist":true
    },
    "validate_access":"Public",
    "validate_target_object":"User",
    "tag_type":"tag_by_edunext"
}

This means that:

• The tag value must exist, it can take any value.

• The field access must be equal to public.

• The target type must be equal to User.

• Tag type must be equal to tag_by_edunext.

Example 3:

{
    "validate_tag_value":"tag_value",
    "validate_access":{
        "in":[
            "Private",
            "Public"
        ]
    },
    "validate_target_object":"CourseEnrollment",
    "tag_type":"tag_by_edunext",
    "validate_activation_date":{
        "exist":true,
        "in":[
            "Dec 04 2020 10:30:40",
            "Oct 19 2020 10:30:40"
        ]
    }
}

This means that:

• The tag value must be equal to tag_value.

• The field access can be private or public.

• The target type must be equal to CourseEnrollment

• Tag type must be equal to tag_by_edunext.

• The tag activation date must exist and be between the values defined in the array. This means: value_1 <= activation_date <= value_2. The array must be sorted or a validation error will be raised.

Auditing Django views (Optional in Maple)

The majority of views in eox-tagging use an auditing decorator, defined in our custom library called eox-audit-model, that helps saving relevant information about non-idempotent operations. By default this functionality is turned on. To check your auditing records go to Django sysadmin and find DJANGO EDUNEXT AUDIT MODEL.

For more information, check the eox-audit-model documentation.
