Cool stuff. I once had something similar for the scary-sounding Jenzabar LMS that I used in college.

Have you tried this on other Blackboard deployments? Looks like the QuikPay stuff at least is U. of Rochester-specific.

I haven't tried it on other Blackboard deployments. I hope if someone is interested in doing so they may try it out, either as a fork or by making bb more general. I would expect to find issues with differences in the HTML which would have to be handled appropriately.

The QuikPay and Sequoia stuff is specific to institutions/installations that have integrated with those companies, which includes some other than rochester.edu, but of course not all.
