# This file can be used as a base to configure OpenERP's web service module
# to connect to a Chamilo portal and make use of its SOAP services.
# This file is useless here, and should be placed on the OpenERP side after 
# being correctly configured (change variables below) in order to be put
# to good use

## Configuration section - set the variables below to their right values
# Chamilo's root directory URL. Replace by your own URL without the trailing /
# Examples: http://campus.server.com or http://campus.server.com/chamilo
url_root = 'http://192.168.1.1/chamilo'
# Get the Chamilo secret API key

## Connexion preparation
# Connexion - do not change anything here

# Get the secret key - now the Chamilo webservices can be called
