django-uocLTI 0.1.3

Installation and Setup

Run setup.py to install uocLTI and its dependencies. Then, add ‘uocLTI’ to installed apps in your settings and run syncdb to add the profile table.

Add the following line to your main urls.py file:

url(r'^uocLTI/', include('uocLTI.urls')),

Settings:

- CONSUMER_URL: This field is not currently being used.
- CONSUMER_KEY: Used for authentication, along with LTI_SECRET (required)
- LTI_SECRET: Used for authentication, along with CONSUMER_KEY (required)
- VELVET_ROLES: List of roles which are allowed access to the app  (optional: if not set, any role is allowed entry)
- VELVET_ADMIN_ROLES: List of roles which are added as administrators (optional: make sure these are rock solid, they set is_staff=True, is_superuser=True thereby giving full access to the app. If not set no users entering via LTI will have staff or superuser privaledges)
- AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE: Set by default to 'uocLTI.LTIProfile', make sure this is not overridden in settings.  If you are going to be using another custom profile model, then you'll need to remove the code related to the profile fields in views.py.

• LTI_DEBUG: Set by default to False

• LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL: set to URL for redirect after successful login

Usage

The launchurl is http://<domain>/uocLTI/launch_lti/. The launch_lti view processes the request and creates a new user and an associated profile if the user does not exist, else the user is logged in and redirected to the LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL url as defined in the project settings.
