Hello,
Just some thoughts on the new stuff
In play_html5.php
header("Location: " . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url .
"play.php?engine=html5&template_id=" . $_REQUEST['template_id'] .
$extraflags);
Wondering in $extraflags is supposed to be $extraparams
Also - should be toggle the redirect onto mod_rewrite URLS (play_560)
as well (might help if cached)
in modules/play.php
does the logic at lines 61-74 stop XML from happening?
Wondering what we need to do logically with
website_code/php/url_library.php - could we modularise the play links?
Hope this makes sense

 Whatever is easiest for you, but perhaps the list is most convenient
for others...

  Hi Tom, 
 Cheers for doing all this - I feel like I'm being retired :) - found
a few possible things that might not be quite right - not bugs, just
logic stuff? 
 Would you prefer me to add comments to the files and commit or maybe
send them to the list?

    Everything has just been committed. This is a fairly large commit
(758). Don't forget to execute upgrade.php!! 

 - Changed play.php (root) and modules/xerte/play.php and preview
 - Make play_html5.php (root) and preview_html5.php (root) redirect to
new play
 - Make use of the same template files as export does for the play and
preview
 - Get rid of difference between rloObject.js used for play and used
for export
 - Only one location for MainPreloader.swf and xmlEngine.swf (for play
and export, export used to copy it from a different location)
 - Modified wizard to call preview.php with 'engine=other' when
Ctr+Play is clicked
 - Make peer.php use the same templates as play and preview and
implement for javascript engine as well
 - Move site to its own module dir
 - Changed basic.sql
 - updates upgrade.php

  Some questions, before I commit,

 1. Julian, do you already have a different name for 'site' or shall I
commit site for the moment?
 2. Do we have consensus over the engine name? html5? javascript?
xenith?

 Now I have 'html5'  in the GUI, but 'javascript' in the code,
because I think that is better w.r.t. flash.

 The major reason I ask is that if we want to create the
play_html5_560 play_flash_560 (not sure that's a good idea, I prefer
that people have to put in a bit more effort to choose an engine
different than the author wanted, so play_560?engine=html5)

 Still even if we leave it at the engine=.... what will we call the
engines? 

 I prefer flash/javascript

	Well the tab is there for everyone, the only difference is the URL
changes from

	 

	Xml_560 to

	Play_xml_560

	The play URL is now a sort of API

	 

	So rather than 

	 

	play.php?template_id=1&method=flash

	 

	You could have 

	 

	play.php?template_id=1&method=XML

	 

	Which just returns the XML

	 

	So you cold retire the XML page from the root folder (over time)

	 

	Now where this could get interesting is you could make an XML remote
method to change the file locations and host a single engine at site
x, and dynamically bring in content that way. A sort of xpert shop
window
