Supported Liferay version is 6.2 and DXP 7.0 SP3. The targeted version of SCORM is 2004 4th edition with support of SCORM 1.2. All server-side code is written using the Scala programming language for the JVM.
The current implementation is able to display SCORM and Tin Can content with respect towards the different content organizations and the activity structure in each organization. Application includes a Lesson Studio editor for creating lessons with different types of questions (single-/multi-choice, matching, short answer, etc.)
Administrative features let you manage Tin Can and SCORM packages, uploading them in the standard zipped format. The user interface is available as JSR-compliant portlets, which may be deployed into Liferay portal.
The solution uses Liferay database, so no there is need to install an additional database.
If deployed against a portlet container, the end-user features are available via the portlet's standard View mode, while administrative features are available via the Edit mode.
Since version 3.4.1, Valamis Community Edition is separated into three packages on GitHub: Valamis LRS (Learning Record Store, https://github.com/valamis/valamis-lrs), Learning Paths (https://github.com/valamis/learning-paths), Valamis LXP components (this repository). You need to compile all of these.
Download Valamis CE source code from this repository and compile the application yourself.
This is an sbt project.
Go to Settings.scala and change the line #10
val liferay = Liferay620
Run
sbt -J-Xss8M -mem 4096 clean package
Deploy to the running Liferay instance
sbt deploy
Go to Settings.scala and change the line #10
val liferay = Liferay700
Run
sbt -J-Xss8M -mem 4096 clean osgiFullPackage
Deploy the package and all dependencies to the running Liferay instance
sbt osgiFullDeploy
PermGen issue: Valamis requires 512Mb of PermGen size. This is default size in Liferay bundled with glassfish, but permgen in Tomcat and jBoss bundles should be increased.
Liferay 6.1 EE bundled with Tomcat 7 can throw errors while accessing uploaded content. To avoid this problem, just turn off the GZip conmpression:
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.gzip.GZipFilter=false
If you change Settings.scala, you must run clean command!
If you have several tomcat instances running, specify liferay home dir in deploy and osgiFullDeploy commands:
sbt deploy /opt/liferay-portal-6.2-ce-ga6
sbt osgiFullDeploy /opt/liferay-dxp-digital-enterprise-7.0-sp4
