Linking to Online Courses

Provide users with links to the starting page for online courses in which they're enrolled.  To do so:

1. Enter the URL into the AsyncLink INI setting in one of the following formats:

• Asynclink=http://yourserver.com/courses/##ALLTRIM(tQuery.coCrse)##.html

This assumes you have a folder called courses which contains an html page for each online course, named after the course code (e.g. 24SMGT500.html).

• Asynclink=http://yourserver.com/courses/##ALLTRIM(tQuery.coCrse)##.html?userid=##pcStuID##

Same as above but also passes the student ID number as a parameter.

• Asynclink=http://yourserver.com/courses/online.html?userid=##pcStuID##&crseid=##ALLTRIM(tQuery.coCrse)##

All courses are launched from the page online.html with both student and course IDs passed as parameters.

2. Add the btnLaunch button (and separator span) to the ShowTranStatus.htm template to:

<input type="submit" NAME="btnLaunch" value="Online Course Links" />

Students will be able to access the pages with the Async Course Links button on the Registration Status page.  The system uses the LinkAsync.htm page to display the online course links.  When the page opens, users click the appropriate link to enter the online course pages.
