BEKCAN Institute (Student) - WP EDU Client

🇹🇷 Türkçe

A client plugin that connects WordPress-based student websites to the main management system (Host LMS), providing student-focused content analytics, revision tracking, a centralized notice feed, and automated updates.

🚀 Features

• Centralized LMS Integration: Transmits content metrics, revision history, and publication statuses of student sites to the main dashboard.
• User Authentication & SSO: Secure API key verification via the Host LMS and Single Sign-On (SSO) support.
• Centralized Notice Feed: Pushes notices published by the instructor or institute directly to the student's WordPress dashboard.
• Independent GitHub Updater: A native update engine that operates without external library dependencies, checking for new GitHub releases and allowing direct updates from the WordPress dashboard.
• Multilingual Support (i18n): Full compatibility with Turkish (tr_TR) and English (en_US) language files.
