This is an archive of the 2013 version of ocTEL.

#ocTEL– proudly powered by …

There have been a couple of very interesting WordPress/FeedWordPress recipe cards for open courses from Anne-Marie Scott for #edcmooc and Martin Weller for #h817open. Below is the ingredient list for #octel. Added to the pot is some homegrown veg which gives us some very personal customisation. A lot of this is to tweak the functionality achieved by using existing plugins that don’t quite do what we want. For example, to allow participants to submit individual artefacts when no rss feed is available I chose the User Submitted Posts plugin. To get this to submit to two categories (instead of the default one), add custom fields to match those use by feedwordpress and change the permalink I needed these extra lines of custom functions.php. Given the amount of investigation required to find the exact right place to add the hook more often than not it feels like it would have been better to code the functionality from scratch.

I’ll leave you with the ingredients for now and next time highlight the recipe…
