Updates to the sample payment plugin

We’ve just updated the sample payment plugin. Release 2.0 features an improved design (based on Bootstrap), simplified configuration and some fixes to the build process.

Sample_payment_plugin

The sample payment plugin is intended for:

  • Site owners who want to test the NetDimensions Learning payment process in the absence of a real payment gateway; and
  • Developers who want to understand the protocol by which NetDimensions Learning communicates with a payment gateway.

We hope this new release helps you to get NetDimensions Learning up and running with the payment gateway of your choice.

Recent activity

Talent Suite’s Recent Activity home page widget and associated gadget provide learners with a view of their classmates’ activity on the site, whether taking courses or participating in discussion forums.

As of Talent Suite 11.1 build 996, the recentActivity API function provides an alternative way to embed this information in another site or app.

As with other API functions, recentActivity can return information as JSON or XML. Sample responses are shown below.
