Course start / end date

Frédéric.C.425

Hello,

Is there a way to have the course start and end dates show somewhere on the course homepage? There is a replace string for that but only works with intelligent agents, doesnt work when adding {OrgUnitStartDate} in a custom widget…

@Frédéric.C.425, we don't have a standard way to do this at the moment. The main Replacement Strings that we have are listed here: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/6105-automatically-customize-course-content-using-replace-strings . There are a few more Replacement Strings that aren't covered on here, but are specialized for specific tools like Intelligent Agents. Otherwise the ones listed there are the ones that will work within widgets on a Course Offering homepage.

Hope that helps!

@Frédéric.C.425 You may be able to customize this code to add start and end dates to a widget on the homepage: https://github.com/rijksuniversiteit-groningen/BrightspaceWidgets

I found this which I was able to make work with a bit of playing around:
