Drag and Drop Problem: Go to edx/var/staticfiles/Xblock/resources and install using pip the module you want to add, pip install my_drag_and_drop_style

After installation, edit the lms.env.json file as:

Creating Django apps: If you are going to add custom fields to the registration page, then do as follows: you just have to follow this steps to edit existing registration form.

1. Open the lms.env.json and cms.env.json files, and set the ENABLE_COMBINED_LOGIN_REGISTRATION feature flag to True. These files are located one level above the edx-platform directory.

2. Use Python to create a Django form that contains the fields that you want to add to the page, and then create a Django model to store the information from the form.

   2.1. First create a Django App at edx-platform/lms/djangoapps from edx-latform directory as,

   2.1.1. Make APPNAME folder in djangoapps directory and then run,
   
       $python manage.py lms startapp APPNAME lms/djangoapps/APPNAME
   

   2.2. Create a model for the new fields in ms/djangoapps/APPNAME/models.py 2.3. Create a form for the new fields in lms/djangoapps/APPNAME/forms.py 2.4. Register your app in lms/djangoapps/APPNAME/admin.py

3. In the lms.env.json file, add the app for your model to the ADDL_INSTALLED_APPS array.

   "ADDL_INSTALLED_APPS":["APPNAME"]

4. In the lms.env.json file, set the REGISTRATION_EXTENSION_FORM setting to the path of the Django form that you just created, as a dot- separated Python string.

"REGISTRATION_EXTENSION_FORM":"APPNAME.forms.FORMNAME"

5. Run database migrations

   $python manage.py lms makemigrations registration_extra_field --settings=devstack $python manage.py lms migrate registration_extra_field --settings=devstack

6. Restart LMS
