Enabling CCX

Starting with a fresh install of devstack,

  1. Create a private.py for cms (edx-platform/cms/envs/private.py) with the following lines:
from .devstack import * # pylint: disable=wildcard-import, unused-wildcard-import

FEATURES['CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX'] = True

  1. Create a private.py for lms (edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py) with the following lines:

    ``` from .devstack import * # pylint: disable=wildcard-import, unused-wildcard-import

FEATURES[‘CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX’] = True

Custom Courses for EdX

if FEATURES.get(‘CUSTOM_COURSES_EDX’): INSTALLED_APPS += (‘ccx’,) FIELD_OVERRIDE_PROVIDERS += ( ‘ccx.overrides.CustomCoursesForEdxOverrideProvider’, )


3. As the edxapp user in vagrant, run `paver update_db`

   The output put should include something like the following:

Running migrations for ccx:

  • Migrating forwards to 0002_convert_memberships.

    ccx:0001_initial ccx:0002_convert_memberships

  • Migration ‘ccx:0002_convert_memberships’ is marked for no-dry-run.
  • Loading initial data for ccx. ```

  1. Start the servers with paver run_all_servers

  2. Continue with the user instructions at http://edx.readthedocs.org/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/latest/building_course/custom_courses.html
