Forum LAMS for Tech-Heads - General Forum: Re: Edit tools' default content

Hi Ernie,
and thank you. I'll try to explain it better. :)
I tried to edit Assessment default content (picture 1).
Then you get this (picture 2), when you can change default title, default instructions...
When you try to edit default questions (picture 3), you can not do anything different from what you do when adding an Assessment tool in your sequence (add question type, title, the answers...).
If you select "permitir respuestas múltiples" (allow several answers), students will get this (picture 4).
My question is: can we edit this sentence ("Elija por lo menos una respuesta" - Choose at least one answer)?
This is just an example among several others I'd like to edit. But in my context this is the most important :)

Hola Luca,

Ok, I see this now.

Quick question then, the "Elija por lo menos una respuesta" what would you like to change this to? Escribelo en castellano que yo tambien entiendo

Gracias


Ernie

Ciao Ernie!

(so, switch language to Spanish right now)

Mira, yo hago una secuencia en la que trato de tú y no de usted (y sería "Elige por lo menos...").
Sin embargo, si pudiera elegir cómo cambiarlo (esta y otras frases 'automáticas' parecidas), yo no pondría nada. Así que, si el diseñador de la unidad quiere escribir una información de este tipo, puede escribirlo directamente en el texto de la pregunta. Así todo sería mucho más flexible y adaptable a cada contexto.
¿Sería posible editar todo esto en mi determinada instalación de LAMS?

Many, many thanks and merry Christmas!
Luca

Hola Luca,

Ok, I understand what you are trying to do.

Yes, you can change these labels for your own server.

You just need to edit the appropriate label in the
ApplicationResources.properties file. This file is located in the lams-dictionary.jar folder, where all the translations labels are located. In the specific case of assessment, you can find it in:

.../jboss-5.1/server/default/deploy/lams.ear/lams-dictionary.jar/org/lamsfoundation/lams/tool/assessment

Now, these files only reload when LAMS starts up. So in order for them to take effect you need to:

1) Stop LAMS
2) Delete the following two folders:

• .../jboss-5.1/server/default/tmp
• .../jboss-5.1/server/default/work

3) Restart LAMS and next time these labels should show as per your changes.

Thanks,

Ernie

Ciao Ernie!
I tried and it works perfectly! And it's also very easy to do, with your explanation.
Thanks a lot!
