[Xerte-dev] Re: Preparation of XOT and Xerte test installs

[Julian Tenney]

Have you done any provisional testing with XAMPP? It's easy to install toolkits on a local machine, and you can check you can at least create, edit, save an LO before anyone else tries to set it up,

I have now successfully committed to the XOT svn trunk the new model files, missing thumbnails, individual xwd files (in a new folder wizards/en/ ) and replaced data.xwd with an equivalent built using Tom's php scripts from the individual xwds.

This should provide a working set of models to test.

During developments several changes were made to XMLengine.swf, wizard.swf and editor.swf. I don't know if the people responsible for these changes have updated them in the XOT svn.

Tom if you have made changes to any of the models then these will need updating in the svn. If there have been changes to the xwds then a new data.xwd file will need to be generated.

I don't know what else will need adding to the XOT svn in order to complete the support for modularisation - Tom I think this is an area in which you will know best.

Kind regards

Ron is ready to set up a test server, I have some model and xwd files and thumbnails that are ready for use but there a re a few things I am not sure about. I am posting this to the developer list so that the communication is shared with all parties who are helping to put this new development on the road.

1.      With respect to the new model and xwd files, Tom have you made any changes to copies of the files in the xerte svn pageWizards/models and pageWizards/en folders? I know you mentioned earlier changing the way that "question n of m" was handled in some of the pages. I have not noticed any changes to the xwd and rlm files in the pageWizards section of the svn. If there are changes where can I get the new version of the files as they need adding to the xerte build files and the XOT build files.
2.      With respect to a new xerte build am I right in assuming that we need to add a new "pages" folder to the xerte svn "runtime" folder. This "pages" folder will contain all the default files for a new "pages" project. Also that the runtime folder will need new folders for "php" to contain the php language, and "scripts" to contain the php script files that build the template.xwd file.
3.      With respect to the XOT build, It is my understanding that new files are being added directly to the trunk and that I need to add the model files (once the issue in 1. is sorted) to the folder modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/models/
4.      In addition to point 3. I need to create a new folder in  modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/wizards/en which will contain the individual xwd files.
5.      I will also add the new thumbnail images to the  modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/thumbs folder.
6.      Tom what if any php scripts will need adding to the XOT server and where will they be located?
7.      My knowledge of XOT is limited. Is there anything else we need to consider in order to be in a position where we can say to Ron that he can download the XOT trunk and use that to build his test server?
8.      Once we have the XOT test server up and running can we review the situation with the Xerte runtime so that we can get a Xerte build ready for testing?
Kind regards

Johnathan
