This plugin was developed and open sourced to the community thanks to the generous support of `E-ducation <https://www.e-ducation.cn/>`_. Thank you!
Installation
------------
This plugin requires tutor>=3.6.0. Also, you should have installed tutor from source, and not from a pre-compiled binary.
::
pip install tutor-discovery
Then, to enable this plugin, run::
tutor plugins enable discovery
You will have to re-generate the environment::
tutor config save
The, run migrations::
tutor local init
This last step is unnecessary if you run instead ``tutor local quickstart``.
Operations
----------
Creating a user
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The discovery user interface will be available at http://discovery.localhost for a local instance, and at ``DISCOVERY_HOST`` (by default: http(s)://discovery.<your lms host>) in production. In order to run commands from the UI, a user must be created::
tutor local run discovery ./manage.py createsuperuser
Then, you must login with this user at http://discovery.localhost/admin.
Alternatively, you can login with oauth2 using a pre-existing user created on the LMS/CMS by accessing http(s)://discovery.<your lms host>/login. To do so, the proper domain names must exist and point to the production server.
Re-indexing courses
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
tutor local run discovery ./manage.py refresh_course_metadata
tutor local run discovery ./manage.py update_index --disable-change-limit
Caching programs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to cache programs in the LMS, you will need to manually create a catalog integration. This step should be performed just once::
tutor local run lms ./manage.py lms create_catalog_integrations --enabled \
--internal_api_url=http://discovery:8000 \
--service_username=lms_catalog_service_user
Then::
tutor local run lms ./manage.py lms cache_programs
