I have done a bunch of updates to Tsugi’s<\/a> support for stand alone App Stores (without any kind of lesson content). This is all in production at www.tsugicloud.org<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have expanded the contract in register.php<\/strong> for the tools to describe themselves and improved the pattern in .htaccess \/ tsugi.php<\/strong> to better support the App Store. You can see this all in action at:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.tsugicloud.org\/tsugi\/store\/details\/peer-grade<\/a><\/p>\n

Play with \u201cTest\u201d and \u201cTool URLs\u201d. A much smoother flow and richer experience.<\/p>\n

You can see the new patterns for developers to take advantage of this in a relatively simple tool like:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/github.com\/tsugitools\/map<\/a><\/p>\n

Look at .htaccess \/ tsugi.php \/ register.php<\/strong> and the store<\/strong> folder which holds screen shots. Some notes:<\/p>\n

– The new and expanded register.php<\/strong> is what drives the pretty store view under \/tsugi\/store<\/strong><\/p>\n

– The new tsugi.php<\/strong> makes it so every tool has a Canvas configuration URL and can dump its own configuration in JSON (more to come here):<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.tsugicloud.org\/mod\/map\/register.json<\/a>
\nhttps:\/\/www.tsugicloud.org\/mod\/map\/canvas-config.xml<\/a><\/p>\n

– There are new options in tsugi\/config.php<\/strong> to include a privacy url and service level agreement url:<\/p>\n

$CFG->privacy_url = 'https:\/\/www.tsugicloud.org\/services\/policies\/privacy';\r\n$CFG->sla_url = 'https:\/\/www.tsugicloud.org\/services\/policies\/service-level-agreement';\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
These are important when connecting to Google Classroom so you should have them for your sites.  Don\u2019t point to mine – make your own and be honest and thorough.<\/p>\n
And while I am on the topic – you might want to take a minute and play with Google Classroom.  It is easiest to use a non-enterprise Google account.  Some enterprises (like umich.edu) do not let their users use Google Classroom.  But my @gmail.com account works fine.<\/p>\n
Log in to classroom.google.com<\/a> and make a course. Then go to <\/p>\n
https:\/\/www.tsugicloud.org\/tsugi\/settings\/<\/a><\/p>\n
And connect to Google Classroom.  All of a sudden little green squares show up to let you push tools into Google.  Grades flow and everything.  Google Classroom flow is pretty nice – but like any proprietary integration – to make it work on the Tool Provider side requires special tooling.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
So in summary, if you are a Tsugi tool developer, you might want to up your game in register.php<\/strong>, tsugi.php<\/strong> (adding .htaccess<\/strong> if you don\u2019t already have it) and adding some screen shots in a store<\/strong> folder.  The App Store falls back nicely with a simpler view until you upgrade your tool to feed the necessary metadata to expanded store.<\/p>\n
Hope you like it and comments welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
