==Registering with Google==


==OAuth 2.0==
Each Moodle site  needs to be registered with Google in order to use the Google Drive, Docs or Picasa plugins. As part of the registration process, you will need to enter a URL (something like <nowiki>http://yourmoodlesite.org/admin/oauth2callback.php</nowiki>) which is provided on all Google Drive, Docs and Picasa plugins configuration pages in Moodle e.g. ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Repositories > Google Drive''.


Prior to Moodle 2.3, the [[Google Docs repository]] and [[Picasa web album repository]] and the [[Google Docs portfolio]] and [[Picasa portfolio]] could be used without any configuration or registration with Google. In April 2012, [http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/2012/04/changes-to-deprecation-policies-and-api.html Google announced] to web application developers that they would be deprecating the service which Moodle was using to communicate with Google and strongly advised developers to move away from it. As a response to this change with Google's service, Moodle switched to use a new system for communicating with Google called 'OAuth 2.0'. The OAuth 2.0 system provides a better security system and more friendly experience to Moodle users, though it requires some additional configuration in Moodle.

Registering with Google

Each Moodle site needs to be registered with Google in order to use the Google Drive, Docs or Picasa plugins. As part of the registration process, you will need to enter a URL (something like http://yourmoodlesite.org/admin/oauth2callback.php) which is provided on all Google Drive, Docs and Picasa plugins configuration pages in Moodle e.g. Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Repositories > Google Drive.

1) Visit the Google APIs Console (or the new URL Google Cloud APIs Console) and sign into your google account.

2) If it is your first time you will be asked to create a project:

Tip: If you have more than one Moodle site to register with Google, you can add an authorized redirect URI for each site in step 8. The same name and logo would then be displayed on the authorisation screen for each Moodle site.

Your site will then be registered with Google and you will be provided with a client ID and secret to configure all Google Drive, Docs and Picasa plugins.

Tip: If you have more than one Moodle site to register with Google, you can add an authorized redirect URI for each site in step 7. The same name and logo would then be displayed on the authorisation screen for each Moodle site.
