LiveVoting Repository Object Plugin for ILIAS 8

This plugin allows to create real time votings within ILIAS. It is compatible with the previous LiveVoting plugin for ILIAS < 7.0 information and objects.

Software Requirements

This LiveVoting version 8.0 requires PHP version 7.4 or 8.0.x to work properly on your ILIAS 8 platform

Installation & Update

Please, notice that previous versions of the plugin were numbered with dates (e.g. 2021.01.01). This version is numbered with the ILIAS version it is compatible with (e.g. ilias8 -> 8.x). You need to change the plugin version in the il_plugin table of the database to something lower than 8.0.0 before running the following commands.

1. Ensure you delete any previous LiveVoting folder in Customizing/global/plugins/Services/Repository/RepositoryObject/

2. Create subdirectories, if necessary for Customizing/global/plugins/Services/Repository/RepositoryObject/ or run the following script from the ILIAS root

mkdir -p Customizing/global/plugins/Services/Repository/RepositoryObject
cd Customizing/global/plugins/Services/Repository/RepositoryObject

3. Then, execute:

git clone https://github.com/surlabs/LiveVotingRW.git ./LiveVoting
cd LiveVoting
git checkout ilias8

Ensure you run composer install at platform root before you install/update the plugin

composer install --no-dev

Run ILIAS update script at platform root

php setup/setup.php update

Ensure you don't ignore plugins at the ilias .gitignore files and don't use --no-plugins option at ILIAS setup

Configuration

If you want to use the Shortlink mode, you need to rewrite the rule in .htaccess or Apache-Config
