[Xerte-dev] Re: uploading html zip?

[Smith, John]

Perhaps just detect the .zip file extention and add an "unpackage this zip" option. Zip is unpackaged to a folder. A popup lists the files and allows you to select the "entry file" which will most likely bootstrap the others when required...

The checkbox would be because you may wish to upload and keep as a zip for download purposes...

I would write a new page.
Have the page take a zip as upload.
Write the upload php to unpack the zip
Then repurpose the embed page

Or tell me more about what you want the HTML within the zip to do?

Yes multiple folders etc... similar to what you can do with blackboard (eugh) at the moment.
Its a handy function, but I understand why it hasn’t been implemented.

Thanks!

Does your zip contain multiple files and sub folders etc or just all files in the root of the zip?
At the moment there's isn't an option in XOT to upload and extract non xot zips but you can upload and link to individual files via media and quota.
If your zip contains folders or lots of files your best option is to upload to a public facing web server via some other means and then use the relevant link in the embed content page.

Hi,

We’ve got some html interactive stuff outside Xerte we want to embed within it. I might be missing how to do this, so is this possible?

Either

a)      Upload a zip file which then unpacks

b)      Include an iframe / embed code

Any of these on the cards or already possible?
