sort a rubric

[mona-lisa]

My script no longer works and the original post from Canvas, etc is not available anymore.

Most of the links from the old community got broke when they switched to the new community software last week. They are in the process of updating them to work.

The blog post is still there. I found it by searching for Sorting Rubrics Made Easy

I just tested my script and it still works, so I'm not sure if the issue is that you couldn't find it or that the script is really broken. If your Canvas instance URL changed, that could break things. The script itself doesn't do much, just add a sortable() to the proper element.

thank you so much, and believe it or not, just being able to reorder rubric rows after adding elements is a dream! I think my script doesn't have my university canvas piece anymore, and I couldn't find the instructions where it explained how to edit the script to personalize it. The script I have also has an error box near the bottom about some missing info after a $. I will check this out again tomorrow with the link you sent me and see if I can troubleshoot it

If you're looking at the code and seeing a message near the $ that's expected and doesn't affect things. $ is jQuery and Tampermonkey doesn't recognize it as a function. If the error is showing up in the browser's developer tools Console screen (in Chrome/Firefox, it's F12 then Console), then it may be that jQuery isn't getting loaded before the script runs. That would help me track down the issue. I've had to do that in some other scripts.

If reloading the script doesn't work, give me more information like your Canvas URL (the hostname is sufficient), what operating system and browser you're using, and any errors that show up in the console window.

Also, I know this sounds silly, but make sure you're on a page that you can actually edit the rubric. When I was testing this evening, but the rubric I was used in more than one place and Canvas told me I couldn't edit it. It turned out it wasn't my script, but the rubric I picked.

Thanks James, will do! For the last part, I know what you mean and I did go to the main rubric , not the one in the assignment.

Not exactly. I also went to the main rubric page, but the rubric I picked had already been used in more than one location and Canvas gave me a message on the right side of the screen instead of the Edit button. "Rubrics cannot be modified once they have been used in more than one place."

It had been so long since I had been there that I had forgotten there was an edit button and so I naively tried to drag things around without it working.

Now that I refresh my memory, the script doesn't add the sortable() widget until after you click the Edit button, which means that jQuery should be present on the page unless you're just super-super-fast and click the button before the page fully loads. There may still be something showing up in the console, but I don't think it's going to be a lack of jQuery.

Ok, It does have the templeu.instructure in the very top code, but here is a pic of the warning sign at the bottom [image: image.png]

The image didn't come through. tempeu.instructure.com should be good -- you're not using a custom domain.

I'll reach out to you by Gmail so it will be easier to attach.

[jamesjonesmath]

Resolved via email. No changes needed to the script.

Hi James,

I am currently having issues with the plugin. in Chrome. It allows me to drag the rows, but as soon as I release it drops the row back to where it was in the first place.

Sorry for posting to a closed bug report, but it seemed better than creating a new one.

[jamesjonesmath]

@EnsignR

I just tested the script and it is still working for me with the latest Chrome on Windows.

I found a couple of minor annoyances, but I was not able to replicate what you're describing.

• When I tried to edit a rubric a second time, the row would just disappear when I started to drag it. I had to refresh the page before it would work a second time.
• If I edit a rubric and update it, then it appears to let me drag rows and even put them in a new location. But refreshing the page restores it to its previous location because I wasn't actually editing the mode.

Do any error messages about undefined things (not the yellow warnings) show up in the Developer Tool's console (F12, then console tab)? Be sure to reload the Canvas page after going to the console.

Are you using Tampermonkey or a different user script manager?
