Changelog

2.0.3 — 2026-02-16

Fixed tool type created with PENDING state when auto-registration fails (e.g. localhost/private Moodle)

Moodle only shows CONFIGURED tools in the activity chooser, so PENDING tools were invisible and the "Select content" button never appeared

Tool type is now always created as CONFIGURED regardless of auto-registration outcome

Added upgrade step to change existing PENDING PlayQuizNow tools to CONFIGURED

2.0.2 — 2026-02-16

Fixed "Select content" (deep linking) button not appearing in External Tool form

Switched from manual DB inserts to Moodle's lti_add_type() for tool type creation, which properly strips lti_ prefix from config keys, generates servicesalt, and matches dynamic registration behavior

Added upgrade step to fix config keys on existing installs (strips erroneous lti_ prefix)

Updated install.php and upgrade.php for consistent tool type creation

2.0.1 — 2026-02-16

Fixed dynamic registration "Close Window" button not working in iframe (use LTI postMessage instead of window.close)

Fixed re-registration creating duplicate platform records causing "Multiple platforms" error on launch

Improved platform lookup to use most recent registration when duplicates exist

2.0.0 — 2026-02-16

Breaking: Upgraded from simple redirect to full LTI 1.3 integration.

Removed broken handle_launch() redirect — Moodle's core LTI 1.3 module handles launches

Auto-creates preconfigured External Tool type on install with correct LTI 1.3 URLs

Added db/install.php for auto-configuration of tool type (launch, login, JWKS, deep linking)

Added db/upgrade.php for seamless upgrade from 1.x

Added db/uninstall.php to clean up tool type on uninstall

Fixed default URL from playquiznow.com (frontend, 404) to api.playquiznow.com

Updated admin settings page with Dynamic Registration URL and setup instructions

Supports deep linking (quiz picker), grade passback, and iframe embedding

Updated language strings

1.1.0 — 2026-02-14
