<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve been exchanging some emails off-list with Julian
and Pat and agreed to post a link and info to an ‘unofficial’ patch
which enables integration between toolkits and moodle in terms of
authentication. The plan was to put this on the wiki but I couldn’t
decide where so for now I’ve included a link to a zip on my own server
and will update that at some point if we put the info and zip on the wiki. Also
I’m sure there will be improvements to this by the time version 1.5 is
released but for now this works as far as I can tell. Of course the usual
disclaimers apply – use at your own risk – no responsibility
accepted etc etc and be sure to read and follow the instruction carefully. However
there are very few changes to existing 1.0.2 code (4 files + 1 new file) and no
changes to the database. All of this is documented in the readme file contained
in the zip.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you test/use this please post feedback to this list if
only to confirm that it works for you. Also of course report any bugs you may
find.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>So for now you can download the zip containing the 4 tweaked
files from <a
href="http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/xerte_1.0.2_moodlepatch.zip">http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/xerte_1.0.2_moodlepatch.zip</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>HTH<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ron<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Further info from the readme file:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This patch has been tested on a number of different
moodle/xerte installations, (including maxos) and on the tested installations
at least has enabled authentication integration with the moodle installation on
the same server. Specifically it enables integration with the moodle
authentication system allowing seamless login from moodle to toolkits. This is
achieved by using the moodle session data so at the moment this will not work
if moodle and toolkits are installed on separate servers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>How this works<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Once applied and configured this patch works in the
following ways:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1. A user logs in to moodle and then follows a link from
that moodle to an installation of toolkits on the same server. The user is
automatically logged in to their own workspace in toolkits seeing any previous
LO's they have created. If this is their first visit to the toolkits
installation their firstname, lastname and username are added to the xerte
toolkits database. (This then also allows other users to share learning objects
with the new toolkits user via properties > shared settings or to give
learning objects via properties > give this project ) This also means that
any existing moodle user, or new users registering on moodle, also has access
to the linked toolkits installation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2. A user visits the toolkits installation without first
logging in to moodle. They are automatically redirected to login to moodle. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If the toolkits installation is installed as a subdirectory
of the moodle directory the user is then automatically redirected back to their
own workspace in toolkits. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If the toolkits installation is installed in a separate
directory to the moodle directory the user will not be automatically directed
back to toolkits but can follow a link to toolkits from the moodle installation
or revisit the toolkits url with the same browser to be automatically logged
in.<o:p></o:p></p>
