A symfony2 bundle to communicate to Blackboard's API.

Installation

Step 1: Using Composer

Install it with Composer!

// composer.json
{
    // ...
    require: {
        // ...
        "eoidigital/eoi-blackboard-bundle": "dev-master",
    }
}

Then, you can install the new dependencies by running Composer's update command from the directory where your composer.json file is located:

$ php composer.phar update

Step 2: Register the bundle

Enable the bundle by adding the following line in the app/AppKernel.php file of your Symfony application:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new EOI\BlackboardBundle\EOIBlackboardBundle(),
        );
    }

    // ...
}

Step 3: Configure the bundle

# app/config/config.yml
# You can get these parameters from your Blackboard Admin Panel > Building Blocks > Proxy Tools"
eoi_blackboard:
    proxy_tool:
        password: yourPassword
        clientVendorId: yourVendorId
        clientProgramId: yourProgramId
