This app rewrites the source code of the Windesheim ELO to give it a modern look and feel.
This means that the HTML of the ELO will be completely replaced by the HTML of the extension. The extension then manipulates the HTML so it displays the correct information, namely your courses, portfolio, notifications and settings.
Waste your money!
If my calculations are correct, when everyone who dislikes the current ELO would donate a euro, I would now be a millionaire. You can donate on https://www.paypal.me/CasperBloemendaal but only if you can miss the money!
Content
Material design ELO retrieves its content via the JSON routes of the mobile display of the ELO. It can currently retrieve the following parts:
- An overview with your courses / portfolios with integrated search and sorting function.
- The folder contents of a course / portfolio.
- The files in the directories of the course / portfolio, displayed as a downloadlink, in an iframe or implemented in the HTML.
- Receive and display notifications in an iframe.
- Read some personal settings: your name, studentnumber, display language and active session (boolean) are used exclusively for the display of the ELO and will never be distributed!
- An iframe containing the forum, this part still has to be developed as a material design component.
Material design ELO also sends content to the server:
- Files that you upload via the handin module. These files are stored as temporary files on the Windesheim server and will thus never shared.
- Submitting temporary files, this function can not be undone, submitting files is always final. This extension is not responsible for errors when handing in files as the functionality of the 'submit' button is exactly the same as on the normal ELO.
- Deleting temporary files, this too can not be undone. This extension is not responsible for errors when handing in files as the functionality of the 'delete' button is exactly the same as on the normal ELO.
- If you click on an unread notification, it will be marked as read.
- Your searchterms will be sent to the ELO.
- Toggling favorite courses is sent to the ELO.
The material design ELO does not send any log files, but it is possible that the ELO can see what you have clicked since you must load the appropriate content.
Navigation
The material design ELO has an advanced navigation system. You can simply navigate with the previous & next buttons without having to reload the page. The material design ELO can read links meaning the right item can be loaded when you reload the page. You can even share links with people who both have the extension.
Doubts?
If you have doubts about installation, the project is and will always be open source. You can review code changes per release on GitHub. The functional code is on GitHub Bloemendaal / Windesheim-ELO. Furthermore, several CSS and JS libraries are used, see the technical documentation on GitHub.
