Planet eStream Authentication Plugin
The Planet eStream Authentication Plugin
The Planet eStream Authentication Plugin will automatically authenticate Moodle users with matching Planet eStream usernames when viewing embedded quizzes that have been added via the Planet eStream text editor plugins.
Quizzes in Planet eStream require a registered user to take, so that answer data can be submitted back to the system and viewed by staff. When a quiz is embedded into Moodle, the filter will automatically detect the logged in Moodle user, and if their user name matches that of a Planet eStream user, they will be able to take the quiz immediately without logging into eStream. Their answer data will then be submitted to eStream as questions are answered.
Viewing statistics for each user will also be submitted back to eStream for each video added after this filter has been installed.

Please see the approval issue comments in CONTRIB-6678 before submitting the plugin back for approval. Thanks for understanding.
Changes from CONTRIB-6678:
- Description has been tweaked slightly for readability. Readme.TXT was incorrect and has been replaced with the correct file
- Linked plugin to its respective Github repository
- No screenshots have been added; the current screenshot shows a Planet eStream embed where the filter has worked correctly, no further explanation to end users necessary
- Dependencies have not been added as the plugin relies on EITHER our TinyMCE or Atto plugins, rather than strictly one or both
- Headers in files should now be correct
- Prechecks / coding style addressed, please elaborate on anything still outstanding here as it seemed to be mainly formatting related
