Using remote plugin to load images in Desire2Learn

Question

I want to insert a link in the image upload page in the D2L LMS which allows the user to upload an image from our Gravatar service. I understand I can do it through the valence content API but just as we can put in links in the insert stuff sidebar, can we also wrap an LTI link into a link on the image upload page? Thanks!

Answer 1

There is sample code for creating a remote plugin that allows you to insert images using the Insert Stuff Framework, which was introduced in the following blog post: http://devs.valence.desire2learn.com/2013/11/11/making-development-easier-with-the-remote-plugins-test-service/. This sample uses LTI and the Valence Learning Framework APIs to insert images.
