Web Services support for Mahara

Artefact Webservices

Web Services support for Mahara.

The Web Services support is based on the webservices subsystem for Moodle and provides REST, XML-RPC, and SOAP alternatives for any registered function. The REST interface also supports JSON.

Installation Instructions

This requires the simple authentication module auth/webservice See [1]

To install you need to download both modules:

get https://gitorious.org/mahara-contrib/artefact-webservice/archive-tarball/master and https://gitorious.org/mahara-contrib/auth-webservice/archive-tarball/master

Then do the following:

 cd /path/to/mahara/htdocs/auth
 tar -xzf /path/to/mahara-contrib-auth-webservice-master.tar.gz
 mv mahara-contrib-auth-webservice webservice
 cd /path/to/mahara/htdocs/artefact
 tar -xzf /path/to/mahara-contrib-artefact-webservice-master.tar.gz
 mv mahara-contrib-artefact-webservice webservice

You should now have the two necessary modules in place.

Now login as admin to Mahara, and go through the upgrade process to complete the install. In order to make the auth/webservice module available, you should add this as an authentication plugin for each Institution that requires access. Do this via the admin/users/institutions.php page.
