INSTALLATION

  1. Initial Set Up
    Starting in home directory
    cd Projects
    git clone git@github.com:gedion/Moodle-gdoc-prototype.git gdoc
    cd gdoc
    git checkout dev/moodlegdoc-share-doc-module_events
    git pull
    git submodule init && git submodule update
    cd /var/www/
    sudo ln -s /home/kylematter/Projects/gdoc/
    sudo vim /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
    Add the following directory part underneath all of the other sections just like it.
    The path to your moodle directory is probably /home/yourname/Projects/gdoc
    <Directory /path/to/your/moodle/directory>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted
Add this to the bottom of the apache config file using your moodle directory like before Alias /gdoc /path/to/your/moodle/directory sudo service apache2 restart

  1. Set up empty database and grant permissions
    Run the following commands in ~/Projects/gdoc
    If they don't work, add -p to the end and use your password, possibly 'test'
    mysql --user=root --execute="CREATE DATABASE moodlegdoc DEFAULT CHARACTER SET UTF8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;"
    mysql --user=root --execute="GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON moodlegdoc.* TO 'moodle'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'test'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

  2. Moodle Installation
    go to localhost/gdoc
    Install moodle while making the noted changes. These may not all be totally necessary but they worked for me.
    change data directory to /opt/moodledata
    change database type to mariadb
    change database name to moodlegdoc
    user moodle
    password test
    create then copy and paste the information it gives you into a new file called config.php in ~/Projects/gdoc
    Finish going through the moodle installation, should be straight forward

  3. Enable Google Drive
    Go to site administration > plugins > repositories > Google Drive
    Change to Enabled and visible
    Input ClientID and Secret from API dashboard (See Google set up section)
    User menu > preferences > manage google account > connect
    Allow access and you should now be able to use your Google drive files in the file picker

Google set up:
The instructions on https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Google_OAuth_2.0_setup and the google page it links to are pretty straight forward, but here is my version.
Go to https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library and sign in to your google account
Create a project called morsleucla
On the left, click on Credentials
Select a project and choose morsleucla
Go to the OAuth consent screen tab
Your email address should already be there, enter it if it isn't.
Enter a product name, something like moodle google docs
Press Save
In the Credentials tab, click Create credentials and choose OAuth client ID
Choose Web application
Change the name if you want, and leave Authorized JavaScript origins empty
For Authorized redirect URIs, put http://localhost/gdoc/admin/oauth2callback.php
Press Create
This will give you the client ID and secret you need to input on the moodle site
Go back to the API Manager Dashboard and click Enable API
Under Google Apps APIs choose Drive API then click Enable
