Login splash page to help point users at correct login process. This has my personal work which did not go through but has good learning info.

Login splashpage

When presenting a login page that contains a form - many users will ignore all links on the page, and just enter their username/password into the form, forgetting they should use a "Login with Microsoft" or "Login via SAML" button on the page.

This plugin provides a custom splash page that only shows the IDP/SSO buttons and (optionally) a link to the manual Moodle login form.

Once installed, set the alternateloginurl setting in moodle to yourmoodleurl/local/login/index.php

This plugin provides a modified copy of the core login/index.php called local/login/manual.php which allows the manual login page to be displayed without redirecting - an alternative solution to this manual login page is to apply the custom "noredirectpatch.txt" file to your core login/index.php file and leave the box for "use custom manual login page" unticked.

Installing via uploaded ZIP file

1. Log in to your Moodle site as an admin and go to Site administration > Plugins > Install plugins.
2. Upload the ZIP file with the plugin code. You should only be prompted to add extra details if your plugin type is not automatically detected.
3. Check the plugin validation report and finish the installation.

Installing manually

The plugin can be also installed by putting the contents of this directory to

{your/moodle/dirroot}/local/login

Afterwards, log in to your Moodle site as an admin and go to Site administration > Notifications to complete the installation.

Alternatively, you can run

$ php admin/cli/upgrade.php

to complete the installation from the command line.
