Remove unused plugins / Fix plugins

[jmontoyaa]

There are some plugins that won't work, because of the different changes in Chamilo v2

Can we update this table to know which will be deleted or fixed?

I created this table so you can edit it. This is just a proposal.

Checked in V2	Plugin name	what to do
X	add_cas_login_button	you can delete it, check if silex/security has one
X	add_cas_logout_button	you can delete it, check if silex/security has one
X	add_facebook_login_button	you can delete it, check if silex/security has one
X	add_shibboleth_login_button	you can delete it, check if silex/security has one
	advanced_subscription	keep and integrate later (after 2.0), so need to prepare the structure. Error when calling api_get_setting('advanced_subscription')
	ai_helper	keep/test/fix
	azure_active_directory	keep or replace with equivalent (this might be managed by a component now?). Assign to @AngelFQC
	bbb	keep/test/fix
	before_login	keep/test/fix
	buycourses	keep/test/fix & (integrate option)
	card_game	?
	check_extra_field_author_company	?
	cleandeletedfiles	?
X	clockworksms	delete: Not aware of anyone using it (@ywarnier) and no effort from external (for pay) provider to contribute
	courseblock	keep/test/fix
	coursehomenotify	?
	courselegal	keep/test/fix & integrate
	createdrupaluser	keep/test/fix
	customcertificate	keep/test/fix & integrate (replace current certificate tool?)
	customfooter	keep/test/fix & integrate
	dashboard	This is a special case allowing for more blocks. Not really a plugin.
X	date	delete: Example initial super basic plugin - not accurate anymore.
:heavy_check_mark:	dictionary	tested/works :heavy_check_mark:
	embedregistry	keep/test/fix
	exercise_signature	?
	ext_auth_chamilo_logout_button_behaviour	keep/integrate
	externalnotificationconnect	?
	extramenufromwebservice	?
	follow_buttons	delete: Not sure this is used nor what it does (@ywarnier)
X	formLogin_hide_unhide	delete
	google_maps	keep/test/fix (could be replaced and integrated if using OpenStreetMap)
X	google_meet	delete
	grading_electronic	keep/test/fix. Not sure what it does (@ywarnier)

	h5pimport	keep/test/fix
:heavy_check_mark:	hello_world	tested/works :heavy_check_mark:
	ims_lti	keep/test/fix & later integrate to admin section. This should be renamed "LTI tools" as opposed to LTI documents (@ywarnier).
X	jcapture	delete
	justification	?
X	kannelsms	delete for now. Maybe will re-introduce later but not aware of anyone using it (@ywarnier)

	learning_calendar	keep/test/fix
	lti_provider	keep/test/fix

X	oauth2	delete (to be replaced by mainstream authentication bundles for Symfony)
X	olpc_peru_filter	delete
	onlyoffice	keep/test/fix
X	openmeetings	delete (not "replaced" by BBB but not supported in Chamilo since a long time. We recommend using BigBlueButton)
	pausetraining	keep/test/fix
	pens	keep (should be very minimally intrusive - it's just a standard catalogue of courses) & integrate redirection
	positioning	keep/test/fix
	questionoptionsevaluation	keep/test/fix
	redirection	keep/test/fix
	remedial_course	keep/test/fix

	tour	keep/test/fix
	userremoteservice	?
	vchamilo	keep/test/fix
X	whispeakauth	delete (no known user for this plugin)
X	xapi	delete (moves to main feature)
	zoom	keep/test/fix

I added a few comments and also for some, I have added "integrate" because I think they can be put in Chamilo by default (without being a plugin).

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

The plugins removed are:

add_cas_login_button add_cas_logout_button add_shibboleth_login_button clockworksms jcapture kannelsms olpc_peru_filter openmeetings share_buttons show_user_info

[christianbeeznest]

It is fixed dialog readme popup and options to configure after saving in this PR https://github.com/chamilo/chamilo-lms/pull/4719

It is missing to check the new hooks to use the plugins with symfony, some ones are not working due that.

[ywarnier]

• Move public/plugin to var/plugins and update paths
• Bring new plugins from 1.11.x

[ywarnier]

So moving public/plugin to var/plugins doesn't work, because it introduces a vulnerability in that var/ would contain executable PHP code, at least until we are able to convert all plugins to a Bundle structure. As such, the folder will remain in "legacy mode" in public/plugin at least until Chamilo 3.0

[ywarnier]

In order to improve the management of plugins in Chamilo 2, we need a new table, called "plugin", with roughly this structure:

• id (internal ID)
• title (of the plugin, in slug form)
• installed (0/1 - a bit redundant because only installed plugins should be there, but maybe when a plugin has been uninstalled it would be good to keep them there with a "0" value
• active (0/1)
• version (string in the semver format: https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html)
• access_url_id to specify where it has been installed

This will require a migration, as in v1 the plugins are "installed" through a settings_current entry, and sometimes enabled through another entry.
