Hi André,

thank you for the feature patch! But I still don't see the benefit of this feature. Can you explain in few words, in what situation the pad-url is usefull? As I wrote earlier, the pad url is usually not usable outside the of Moodle. So who benefits from this? Could you modify your patch a little? I would like to avoid using deprecated javascript. So, maybe you could use the "core/str" module to load the strings in your javascript instead of "M.util.get_string()"? Example:

    require(['core/notification', 'core/str'], function(notification, str) {
        str.get_strings([
            {key: 'link_copied', component: 'mod_etherpadlite'},
            {key: 'etherpadlite_link_copied_to_clipboard', component: 'mod_etherpadlite'}
        ]).then(function(strings) {
            notification.alert(
                strings[0],
                strings[1]
            );
        });
    });

With this you could avoid the usage of the old style "requires->strings_for_js()" and you only have to maintain the strings on a single place.

Best regards Andreas

Dear Andreas,

thanks for pointing me out on that one. Sometimes when I look something up on the Moodle wiki, I miss the hint that this documentation site is deprecated, this notice is often not well placed visibly.

The idea of exporting the etherpad link didn't came out directly, more as a workaround. In the future we aim for a really good integration of element/matrix within moodle. Element/matrix also allows to add widgets inside chatrooms. As our matrix/element services live on the same second level domain, for now this allows it to manually add certain pads as a widget to a chatroom. As long as the same browser is used and the moodle login is active, which is most likely the case, you have access to the pad.

Greetings, André

Hi André, sorry for taking so long. I removed the db/de folder and squashed your commits to a single one and integrated it manually into the MOODLE_311_STABLE branch. I did not use this pull request directly. I hop this is ok for you. Thanks for your work on this! Andreas
