What Page were you on
The mean issue is that page doesn't render correctly.

Describe the bug
I've set up a course using "A Practical Guide To Databases". I am using the assignment builder to create assigned readings. I assign these readings by selecting the corresponding chapters from the textbook in the readings tab:

When students click the assignment, it looks like this:

However, when they click the links it gives the following error:

Students are still able to access the textbook through the table of contents and I've been told by previous faculty that it still does the autograding correctly, but I have not verified this for myself.

Hi, Unfortunately the book is not structured properly for reading assignments as it divides its content into parts + chapters + subchapters. We have always had our authors structure their books into chapters + subchapters only.

Unless the author (or someone) moves his book to PreTeXt (our preferred authoring language) or removes the part designations from the text there is not much I can do to make the readings work properly.

Interestingly you are the second prof to report this problem this semester, I've not had these issues before. I believe your colleagues are correct that the students will still get credit, but it is awkward when you are fighting against the assignment page.
