Oops. I missed a file in the commit. adding it now. One more caveat. For security, the first user is the teacher and registration is enabled by default. For all other users of admin (students) registration requires verification. That means the teacher must login, user /admin/appadmin and clear the content of the "registration_key" field for approved students.
This is for preventing non-students from getting their hands on the system. Massimo On Jan 4, 10:44 am, David Bain <[email protected]> wrote: > Massimo, > Nice!
