[Xerte-dev] Re: selecting embed code in the project details panel

Tue Jul 28 15:19:08 BST 2015

Looks like the removal of onselectstart="return false;" was coincidental to
the issue with creating decision templates. e.g. with or without that line
in creating new decision projects appears to be intermittant. To test and
replicate try creating 3 or 4 decision projects one after the other e.g. d1
d2 d3 d4

This works fine with the xot or boostrap templates but with the decision
template I get the project created in the list of projects but no editor
opens and then on trying to edit that project it's empty and not editable.
Not sure how long this has existed but can everyone replicate? e.g. any
problems creating multiple decision projects?

actually 4! :-(

I just added the onselectstart="return false;" back in because it looked
like it was preventing creation of decision templates. Having tested again I
removed it again because I can now create decision projects with that
removed but there's something intermittant and I'm not sure what Pat's reply
means e.g.

"there is a selection block code in the main html, suspect it hangs around
if the JS Include has been copied over"

Well that's 3 different situations now... lol...

My bad, i've solved the mystery. My first image had a space in the
filename... when I rename it with no space it is included and with a space
it is omitted...

I'm bored at the presentation but my boss is here so now she things i'm
working hard and networking ;-)

I may not know what I'm doing but if I create a decision tree project, add
an information step and add an image through the text editor, I see no image
on preview. I don't know the template very well though so I might be doing
something daft.

Tom and John have both replied via github - removed and committed.

Can you reproduce issue #361?
https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/361

I can't but may be misunderstanding the steps John describes.

Can reproduce it here as well. I don't see why removing the return false
should cause an issue - but I didn't put it there to begin with,  so also
suspect that it does serve some purpose. If you remove it it still works
fine in the other browsers? I'd say go for it, I don't think it can affect
anything else,

Subject: [Xerte-dev] selecting embed code in the project details panel

Hi
I added this as an issue on github this morning
https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/362
In IE10 and 11 the embed code box in the project details pane doesn't allow
selection either by single click or by click and drag or by right click
select all. So the embed code can't be selected from that panel at the
moment.
In Chrome I can click and drag to select the embed code and then copy it so
that works but right click select all doesn't.
In Firefox, initial single click, drag to select all and right click select
all - all these methods work.

With a bit of searching and John's pointer too it seems this is down to body
onselectstart="return false;" in index.php

Does that serve a useful/important purpose? Is there a way to reverse that
just for the embed code textarea or iframe?

As far as I can tell removing that from index.php doesn't prevent anything
else from working but it must have been there for a reason? Perhaps it dates
back to the older workspace prior to the tree view?

Cheers
Ron
