[Xerte-dev] Re: CETIS13

[Ron Mitchell]

One thought though - there are quite a few installations using Moodle for authentication and they never see the login page e.g. login via moodle and automatically redirected back to their own workspace. But I like the idea of workspace widgets!...

You in a sharing mood? ;-) What other stuff would you need in? I'll take a look at the API google doc later and stick in a few things that I could use...

Another thought... widgets for the Xerte login page?? Could we do that easily? Tag clouds, stats, who's online, etc etc... Or is that pointless and better handled by Moodle or the like? The issue is that we've sold our soul to the devil and have Blackboard...

Ok, I have an half api started locally, and I was going to tie it into a moodle repo module eventually - but have loads of other code to plough through
