On the back of my post above, how is the new iphone app for Mahara coming along? Will there be support for users to login within this new app for Mahara that has SSO from Moodle?

Cheers

Ali

Hi Ali,

A good news that we has nearly finished a new community version of PortfolioUP which can run on Mahara 1.4+, 1.3, 1.2 with some new features. It will be upload to apps store very soon.

you can keep an eye on our blog http://www.brightcookie.com/our-services/consulting-additional-services/portfolioup/ to get the information when it is released.

For Mahara 1.4+, it will use Token key ( as MaharaDroid ) and be able to run with SSO authentication.

We are also planing to develop another version of PortfolioUP which allow user to record video, audio and upload them to Mahara as well as upload files.

Cheers,

Kien

Hi, 

The new Iphone Apps for Mahara 1.4+ now is available on Apps store.

It still can run with earlier version pf Mahara (1.3-)

You need to upgrade new Mahara PortfolioUp plugin to run this.

Please read this artical for more information:

Hello Kien,

I tried it this morning and it works great !

Thank you for your work and for sharing that with us.

If you want to add a French interface to your app, let me know and we do it. And also, by the way, I would like to know if/how difficult it would be to send not only pictures but movies and just texts to the Mahara with a future Portfolioup app.

Cheers,

Hello Bud,

Sorry, I can't help you with the app itself, but what you can check is if you have mobile upload enabled in the site administration -> Configure Site -> General Settings. That may already get you a step closer.

Cheers

Hello Kien,

Are you thinking about using the built-in functionality of Mahara to use with your iPhone app so that the plugin is not required anymore? As far as I can see from the info site of PortfolioUp, it uses the mobile upload token and that's already a functionality that exists.

It would make it easier and faster to use the app if it could work with that.

For the time being: Would your app also work with 1.5?

Cheers

Kristina

Hi Kristina,

Yes, we are thinking about using the built-in functionality of Mahara to work with PortfolioUP.

However there is some technical issues that we need to overcome to archive that as we are using different sending data methods to the server.

We will update this on our blog when we can sort this out.

 

Cheers,

Kien

Hello Kien,

Thank you for your answer. It would be fantastic, if you updated the forum here as well once you have the standard Mahara token working.

Cheers

Kristina
