Lti/Provider plugin

Version 1.0

This plugin is meant to be later integrated into Chamilo (in a major version release).

The LTI provider feature is only compatible with LTI 1.3 Advantage, and demonstrates the possibility to integrate tools or content from Chamilo into other LMS platforms. In this case, Chamilo is used as provider , and this plugin allows a student inside a course to play in a breakout game with certain difficulty options (Deep Linkings) which is scored (Assigment and Grade Services) and compared with the other members of the course (NRP Services).

Installation

Prior to installing/uninstalling this plugin, you will need to make sure the src/Chamilo/PluginBundle/Entity folder is temporarily writeable by the web server.

1. Install the plugin from the Plugins page
2. Enable the plugin from the Lti Provider Plugin Settings page
3. Assign to the Administrator region (will appear on the management page)
4. Add the LTI connection details to try out the little demo app (Configuration page)
5. Configure the LMS platforms for registration and deployment

To be able to acces LTI content from a different domain in an iframe, the hosting provider will have to enable it by activating this configuration in the app/config/configuration.php file :

// Enable samesite:None parameter for session cookie.
// More info: https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site
// Also: https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2020/01/get-ready-for-new-samesitenone-secure
$_configuration['security_session_cookie_samesite_none'] = true;

DB tables

These tables are normally created during the activation of the plugin. They are mentioned here for practical purposes. Note: "kid" means "Key ID", not "child".
