Purpose

As part of the ADAPT initiative, we are looking to streamline the UX process.

Current Process

1. user creates page in MT
2. user adds resources to this page, including h5p and other elements
3. user logs into Adapt
4. user creates a page in Adapt and references the page id from MT
5. the Adapt system parses the page from MT to generate a page in adapt

Proposed Process

• user logs into Adapt
• user creates a page in Adapt and defines all of the elements
• the relevant page is automatically create in MT when the user saves the page
• any changes to the page in Adapt are also propogated in MT

@kreut can you please update here if I've missed anything.

Since I foresee that you will likely need many endpoints or integrating with Adapt, I would recommend making a copy of elevvate.js and then transform it to Adapt's specific needs. That way, you can provide some sort of authentication protection between that script and Adapt such as with origin header checking.

[Miniland1333]

If no other scripts need unprotected access to /tags and /info, they can be incorporated into these protected endpoints as well.

@Miniland1333 : thanks Henry! Great points. Will certainly look at this approach. Stay tuned to get pinged on any progress - I think you still have access to everything so having your insight would be appreciated.
