    Coders unite? Need a little help - Adding IP Address and Time checks

    in Coding

    Posted

    64.26.100.114 is our IP address for the school.  It is static.

    Yes, We would like those conditions to be met.  That 1.  The student is physically present on our servers in the school. 2.  The student is here during the school day and 3. That it is not on the weekend.  This would be a widget assigned to a for a site that prevents a pdf or text widget to be available to a student.

    Coders unite? Need a little help - Adding IP Address and Time checks

    in Coding

    So we have been working on coming up with a way to limit information shown on a page either by IP (does not seem easily feasible) or by date and time.  

    I have been working using this code

    <DOCTYPE html>
    <header>
        
     
    </header>
    <body>
        <input 
               id="btthider" 
               class="bttnhider"
               type="submit"
               onclick="showHidden(); showbtthidden();" value="Add a new notice here"
               >
     
        <script>
            var h = new Date().getHours();
            var d = new Date(). getDay();
            var butn = document.getElementById('btthider');
            if (h <= 7 && h >= 11).btn.disabled=true;
            if (d = 0 && d = 6). btn.disable=true
            
        </script>
        
        
        
    </body>
     
    </DOCTYPE>
     
    To hide a button based on time and thought that I may be able to show and hide a .pdf or a widget.  
     
    The reason for this need is that we have some activities that can ONLY be seen during the day which could then disappear during the evening and weekends.  This is not a rules function ability or I would have used that.  So any thoughts if this would work on a Frog page?

    IP address lock

    So what you are saying is that we may be able to pull this and do a query that compares IP to IP and if IP matches then it shows PDF if it does not, it shows a statement that it can be only accessed in the school.

    So what I would love to have is the ability to lock down a Frog site by IP address.  The thought behind this is that we need to be able to prevent students from accessing a specific site unless they are in the school.  It is for testing as well as corrective education.  Can this be done in html?

    Would love to have you!  @Graham Quince  Try to convince them a fact finding mission is needed or that we should all go to ISTE in Chicago.  :) ISTE is like BETT but BIGGER.  I would make some joke about everything being bigger in the US but...

    Not sure about the rest of you, but new teachers really try to push the boundaries of the way I have done things.  In our Earth systems class they wanted to create a full lab on Frog.  So we have been digitizing the paperwork for the lab and the structure.  One thing they wanted was a wall in the assignment they would send out.  Now Walls cannot be assigned.  So I decided to try to use the wall as a nested page on a site I assigned.  Whalha it worked.  Amazingly, it functions as a shared page (because that is what I nested.)  This opens a whole new avenue of a wall and forum features.  

    So off to talk to that teacher :)  Will probably post the site when we are done... this is gonna be cool.

    What we have been doing is doing things the Froogle way.  We use Frog and embed Google Forms in them.  This gives us a timestamp and a user id for each.  That allows us the freedom to give works to groups.  

    Now if you would like to assign work to staff ( which would be awesome for PD purposes, teacher tracking and a whole lot of other things) I would vote for https://ideas.frogcommunity.com/ideas/FRG-I-165  Which is the idea in the portal.  Share with your friends and everyone can vote on this.

    Assignments - send same work back-and-forth

    I am a big proponent of feedback and we have decided to do a test.  One of the items that we decided to test was a WACOM pad with the computer and using feedback.  I have been thinking that this may be a way that we can limit paper usage.  Now we have run into a couple things that makes feedback not as good, but still pretty awesome.  

    1. A bug is involved where a longer document cannot be written on beyond a certain point. 

    2.  A tablet makes using the paint functions easier  I would love either a pen function (thinner line) or the ability to control line thickness.  I sometimes write on the sentences, and it is unclear because of thickness.

    3.  Next to mark on the screen put a fraction of how many widgets were completed 

    4.  Highlighter needs to be more clear on what we highlight.  It is a bit unwieldy.

    5.  The ability to hover over the sticker and see what the sticker means.

    HELP with some codes

    in Coding

    Posted

    Soooooo....

    I am a novice coder at best.  I would love to crowd source something.  

    Situation:

    We are coming up to the testing season in Maryland, USA.  The administration would love for us to be able to send out a notification to students who are testing which room they are going to be in.  They would like it to be personalized with the student's name the test and the room number.  I can create an excel document with this information, and I may be able to get the students Google ID or their FrogID incorporated on the list.  

    My thoughts:

    Use html on the dashboard to query a table that has the information.  If the Frog ID is = to the FrogID on the table then it send them a message with

    "(Student Name), you are going to be taking the (Test name) on (Test Date) in Room (Test Room)"

    How would I go about doing this, and could be make this a FrogCode widget for testing?
