Site Configuration#

This functionality allows you to configure a custom site. To add this functionality, edX has extended the Django sites framework. The Django sites framework allows you to map domains to a Site object, which consists of an ID and a name.

You must make sure that there is only one configuration per site.

Site Configuration Model#

To add or update a custom site’s configurations, including the basic theming, use the SiteConfiguration model.

The following image shows some of the fields in the SiteConfiguration model in the Django administration panel for a configured site.

Each site can have only one configuration.

Add Another Site and Site Configuration#

If you want to add additional sites, you can use the create_or_update_site management command. Run ./manage.py create_or_update_site --help to view all of the parameters.

Signatory Configuration#

This configuration adds certificate signatories. This configuration is required. Every certificate must include at least one signatory.

Signatory Configuration Model#

To add or update a signatory’s configuration, use the Signatory model.

The following image shows the Signatory model in the Django administration panel for a configured signatory.

Course Certificate Configuration#

This configuration adds course certificates. This configuration creates a new CourseCertificate object that is used to award course certificates to learners.

Course Certificate Configuration Model#

To add or update a course certificate’s configuration, use the CourseCertificate model.

The following image shows the CourseCertificate model in the Django administration panel for a configured course certificate.

The CourseCertificate model has a unique together constraint on the Site, Course ID and Certificate type fields. In this model, the same site, course ID, and certificate type cannot have more than one entry.

Program Certificate Configuration#

This configuration adds program certificates. This configuration creates a new ProgramCertificate object that is used to award program certificates to learners.

Program Certificate Configuration Model#

To add or update a program certificate’s configuration, use the ProgramCertificate model.

The following image shows the ProgramCertificate model in the Django administration panel for a configured program certificate.

If Use organization name is checked then organization full name will be displayed on the certificate else short name will be displayed.

User Credentials Model#

Record of a user’s completion of certain learning material, at a certain point in time.

To add or update a user credential, use the UserCredential model.

The following image shows the UserCredential model in the Django administration panel for a configured user credential.

User credentials may contain arbitrary user-defined name/value attribute pairs related to the context in which they were awarded. At this time, the only name/value pair that we watch is “visible_date” holding a date string value. Credentials may also be assigned a “revoked” status, which essentially implements soft-deletion (credentials/certificates are no longer publicly accessible, but the stored data is retained).

Records#

This functionality adds student records, along with the grades and pathways associated with a record.

Shared Program Records#

To add or update a shared program record, use the ProgramCertRecord model. This model is used to track publicly shared records. To manually unshare a public record, you can delete an entry in this table.

The following image shows a configured ProgramCertRecord model in the Django administration panel.

User Credit Pathways#

To add or update a user credit pathway, use the UserCreditPathway model. This model is used to track which users have sent which records to which credit pathways for which program.

The following image shows a configured UserCreditPathway model in the Django administration panel.

User Grades#

To add or update user grades, use the UserGrade model. This model is used to track the highest grade a user has earned for a record. Grades are added from the LMS whenever a grade is updated there.

The following image shows a configured UserGrade model in the Django administration panel.
