1: .LRN Homework dropbox download - single click
Posted by Matthew Coupe on 10/01/08 10:10 AM
Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. Is it possible to donwload the entire contents of the homework folder in a single click, as it is with the contents of a file storage folder for instance? If so, does anyone have some nice code for doing this as it is causing us some problems to have to individually download 500+ assignments for moderation.

Thanks!

hi,

you could in homework provide a link to /dotlrn/classes/x/y/y-2011/file-storage/download-zip?object_id="folder_id" and substitute folder_id with the folder_id from homework. It's probaly not the right way, but it seems to work (tested in version 2.4.0 / 2.4.1).
