Easycast MediaServer Atto button plugin

Copyright: UbiCast (http://www.ubicast.eu) License: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL v3 or later

Description:

This Atto button plugin allows users to add media from an EasyCast MediaServer in their Moodle course from the Atto editor directly.

• Adding a media

• Professor view

• Student view

Dependencies:

• https://github.com/UbiCastTeam/moodle-mod_easycastms

Installation:

• Extract content of zip archive
• Upload extracted folder to lib/editor/atto/plugins
• Visit Moodle as administrator
• Navigate to Dashboard (upgrade your Moodle)
• Navigate to Site administration > Plugins > Text editors > Atto HTML editor > Atto toolbar settings
• Add the easycastms = easycastms in Toolbar config.

Development:

If you don't have anything set up, follow the Development Environment setup instructions in https://github.com/UbiCastTeam/moodle-mod_easycastms

Then:

• Copy this folder into the lib/editor/atto/plugins folder of your moodle installation.
• In command-line, go to the yui/src subfolder of the plugin
• If you don't have it already, install shifter globally (npm install -g shifter or yarn global add shifter)
• Run shifter --watch

How does it work?

This plugin relies heavily on the https://github.com/UbiCastTeam/moodle-mod_easycastms plugin's LTI video integration mechanism that you can read on in said README.

What the Atto plugin does is only opening a modal asking for the video ID and inserts an iframe the same way the moodle-mod_easycastms does.

• The lib/editor/atto/plugins folder and Ctrl+F are your best friends!
