Mahara - ePortfolios for LMSs

[girish]

@atrilahiji Sounds like a plan!

@girish Trying to get this sorted out but got a strange error on this branch when it does the initial install: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/mahara-app/-/tree/wip-PLUGINS

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

[atrilahiji]

Got it working with plugin support similar to the Moodle app: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/mahara-app

EDIT: Fixed a couple of security issues (namely the lack of password salting)

EDIT 2: The only thing I notice now is some text flashing whenever the page reloads? O_O

Do you see this in their demo instance too?

[atrilahiji]

@girish Nope. Seems like its after I my MR where I moved everything to /app/data too

The weird text popping up was me just completely not understanding PHP. Fixed it by just setting the salt and urlsecret in the start.sh as god intended.

Pushed a branch with SMTP set up. Emails still don't seem to be sending. Investigating...

[atrilahiji]

Wow nevermind. I had the settings in the config.php all along. It only didn't work because Mahara sends emails using the address on the user initiating the emails' account.

I need a screen break lol. I'm inventing tasks that have already been finished

Ah, for those apps, I guess we can just document saying they have disable From Address validation on the server.

[atrilahiji]

@girish Alright. Yeah for this one I can set the noreply address but it looks like for stuff like manually adding users, it uses the email of the one who invites. I made the admin user's default email the same as the from email for now.
