I do see the new PDF type I added though, so assume everything is OK.

I think Apereo would share this view. The whole reason to do Apache license is to make it super-crystal clear that this code is absolutely fine for whatever re-use you want to make of it, and GPL is definitely not even the merest inkling of a problem for you. That would be undermined if we had a repo with GPL code in it. It's really a huge irony that the GPL means software isn't adopted, however, it is good that most developers understand this and don't use it. -----Original Message----- From: Stian Soiland-Reyes [mailto:stain at apache.org] Sent: 04 March 2015 15:31 To: general at incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: GPL Code in GitHub There's not strictly a legal problem with the GPL-using code to be in Apache's source code repository (and itself be under the Apache license) - but due to the 'viral' nature of GPL, any compiled products become GPL as well. For LGPL dependencies this is less of a worry - but still LGPL comes with the requirement that you have to be able to replace the LGPL bit with your own version - which of course is easy enough when you can move around a JAR in a folder - but not so easy if the Apache-licensed code has been inserted into a DVD player. Several projects [1] do use GPL/LGPL dependencies, but solely for test and build - which is kind-of OK (although [2] has not been updated yet to explain test dependencies). The danger is that that compiled code makes it into an Apache binary release (say by a new committer in two years time) - or that a consumer downloads the Apache source code, compiles it, and then distributes the binaries without knowing the the GPL implications of that. So to play safe - simply keep it outside the Apache code base at all.

This is what I've done: - Added a new xwd file to the src/Nottingham/wizards/en-GB folder, formatted exactly like other pages in there. - Run rebuildNottingham.bat, expecting a new version of data.xwd to appear in modules\xerte\parent_temples\Nottingham\wizards\en-GB A new data.xwd does appear but it doesn't contain my mediaLesson.xwd info. There are no errors in convert.log If I manually copy the data from mediaLesson.xwd into src/Nottingham/wizards/en-GB/template.xwd and run rebuildNottingham.bat again then the data.xwd file does contain the mediaLesson info but isn't this missing the point of what rebuildNottingham is supposed to do? I thought it automatically got the data out of the individual xwd files so avoiding having to paste into the long xwd file? Am I missing an obvious step somewhere?

Hidden LO's - discovery learning..? ;-) Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages. So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7 You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168?&display=600,800#resume=7 Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

Hidden LO's - discovery learning....? ;-) Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages. So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7 You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168?&display=600,800#resume=7 Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

Hidden LO's - discovery learning..? ;-) Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages. So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7 You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168? &display=600,800#resume=7 Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

Hidden LO's - discovery learning?.? ;-) Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages. So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7 You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168?&display=600,800#resume=7 Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

Hidden LO's - discovery learning..? ;-) Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages. So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7 You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168? &display=600,800#resume=7 Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

Hidden LO's - discovery learning?.? ;-) Actually I think what we need is an optional property on the learning object like we have for the bootstrap template to add styles directly in the LO which then apply throughout. At the moment doing this on a page give flexibility to only affect that page and uploading a custom stylesheet is overkills when a small change is required. Likewise the optional property could allow additional javascript to be written for the whole LO rather than individual pages. So as an example the Flat Blue theme is easily changed to what you decsibe Inge with a tiny bit of css - see page 7 http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168#resume=7 You can also change the shape e.g. http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play_168?&display=600,800#resume=7 Will add this to Trello for further discussion.

This seems to be in response to a bug on GitHub (https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/104) where tooltips were said to not work. I'm not sure that changing all alt to title really solves the problem and really it's a wording problem on the editor rather than a problem to be fixed in the LOs. I thought that the main use of tooltip fields in the editor was to add a description of the image to screen readers. Previously these descriptions added as alt attributes did mean that a tooltip appeared when the image was hovered over but this no longer seems to happen in most browsers. Using the title attribute instead does force a tooltip to appear but I don't think it's ideal for screen readers (http://www.w3.org/TR/html/dom.html#the-title-attribute) What does everyone think about this? Should the wording in the editor be changed from 'Tooltip' to 'Description' or 'Alt text' or do you think that it's more important for it to stay as tooltip and keep the hover functionality even if this might be more fiddly for users of screen readers?

Although I guess that means a change to all models? Also I'm not sure if that's accepted practice or not. The other aspect of this is that I think once the new version is offcially released users are going to quickly switch to adding images via the wysiswg editor and for instance the plain text page rather than a graphics and sound page etc. I know the editor has an option for Alt text and it seems like that's used as Alt text and not title text as it doesn't show on hover.

I'm not sure if they're Toolkits or XAMPP related (newly installed XAMPP too) Firstly, on the 'Toolkits has been installed' page I get these errors: Sorry, The query CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS has failed. MySQL reports the following error - 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 Sorry, The query USE has failed. MySQL reports the following error - 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 Then, if I create a project and try to edit it I get stuck on the loading screen with the following errors: SyntaxError: malformed hexadecimal character escape sequence (edithtml.php line 118) mediavariable="C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits/USER-FILES/1-guest2-Nottingham/media/"; If I change $rlo_path in edithtml.php to reference users_file_area_short rather than users_file_area_full (like it does in the Flash version) then the editor loads. But then this seems to cause a problem with uploading files - I get the error 'Invalid backend configuration. Readable volumes not available.' when the import media window opens. Any ideas? Does anyone else running it on XAMPP have these problems? The flash editor works fine. Thanks Fay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From an accessibility perspective Alt attributes are definitely the recommendation and Title should not be used as a replacement. Whilst I agree that the hover functionality offers a different kind of benefit for a different kind of user (and arguably a bigger population) the two issues here are integrity of our accessibility credentials and the relative balance of benefits. In terms of the former we should certainly use the Alt attribute rather than title. In terms of the latter I'd argue that some people being wholly denied the essentials is a bigger issue than lots of people having a little luxury. Does that help? The wording in the editor is therefore best to be kept as plain English as possible. "Description" would work for me. Perhaps "Key points of image" would be useful because it implies that your description has a purpose that you need to communicate (eg a map of Nottingham might have many descriptions ranging from "Map of Nottingham" to "Map" but a Key points field might help people write things like "Map showing university in relation to railway station". So, I think we do need to change title back to alt (with a different description in the editor). If we want to give the option of adding a tooltip too I think the best thing would be to have a separate field in the editor - perhaps an optional one. We could just use the same text for both attributes but this doesn't seem like it's best practice as there could be different use for them (alt as description and title as providing supplementary information?). It does mean a change to most models but not a complicated one. I'm happy to do the work for this if everyone agrees - although as Ron says, when people start adding with wysiwyg the option won't be there for a tooltip anyway so is it confusing things to add this option for images in some places but not others? I'll make the changes back to alt but do you think it's worth adding an extra tooltip option?

Although I guess that means a change to all models? Also I'm not sure if that's accepted practice or not. The other aspect of this is that I think once the new version is offcially released users are going to quickly switch to adding images via the wysiswg editor and for instance the plain text page rather than a graphics and sound page etc. I know the editor has an option for Alt text and it seems like that's used as Alt text and not title text as it doesn't show on hover. Ron From: xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Tom Reijnders Sent: 20 March 2015 08:56 To: For Xerte technical developers Subject: [Xerte-dev] Re: Tooltips / Alt text (title vs. alt attributes) I did that, and indeed in response to issue #104. Please Alistair, any comments on what Fay mentions? It does make sense to me. And I don't like tool tips anyway. I must say, a lot of people were complaining that they didn't work. That's another reason I made the change. Fay Cross schreef op 20-3-2015 om 9:51: I've noticed that a change has been made to lots of page types so that alt attributes on images are now title attributes. This seems to be in response to a bug on GitHub (https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/issues/104) where tooltips were said to not work. I'm not sure that changing all alt to title really solves the problem and really it's a wording problem on the editor rather than a problem to be fixed in the LOs. I thought that the main use of tooltip fields in the editor was to add a description of the image to screen readers. Previously these descriptions added as alt attributes did mean that a tooltip appeared when the image was hovered over but this no longer seems to happen in most browsers. Using the title attribute instead does force a tooltip to appear but I don't think it's ideal for screen readers (http://www.w3.org/TR/html/dom.html#the-title-attribute) What does everyone think about this? Should the wording in the editor be changed from 'Tooltip' to 'Description' or 'Alt text' or do you think that it's more important for it to stay as tooltip and keep the hover functionality even if this might be more fiddly for users of screen readers?

I tried the full server setup (on xampp) first and it didnt work. I prefer that as I have more control over the setup and I know Ron always uses it too.

What I did was: 1. install latest xampp 2. download unstable from community website 3. unzip that in the xertetoolkits folder of xampp 4.

I seem to recall that was an attempt by David Goodwin to avoid any need for setup at all but I've never got that to work and I agree it should be a choice rather than imposed. Obviously if it doesn't work or is problematic on different configurations it should probably be removed altogether. I've wondered if we should instead distribute an updated version of maxos but just xos! Perhaps part of our planned release. I have all sorts of variants of XAMPP some with multiple versions of Moodle, Mahara, Xerte etc but I think a simple Xerte only version with the next release together with Xerte/Apereo branding etc might be a good idea. I'd be happy to work on that but as far as I'm aware xampp is GPLv2 so does that cause a problem? Then aside from licensing the thing that's always prevented me from doing this anyway is the inferred support. Thomas and RSC-e obviously provided that for MAXOS where possible but if we were going to share our 'project version now' we'd need to agree to support as a community.

Downloaded and installed xampp (mac) Downloaded and installed Sourcetree (mac) I had my mac reimaged after a crash so had to do these steps but you may not or probably use different software... Used Sourcetree to checkout xerte straight into the xampp htdocs folder into a 'xerte' named folder Changed the permissions on the 5 required folders Run xampp and started server and mysql Opened browser to localhost/xerte and got load of errors Changed address to localhost/xerte/setup and it loaded fine Tried full server setup and got errors Then went back to setup and ran xampp setup and all went through fine Went to localhost/xerte and workspace loaded Created and edited a lo, all worked fine Now, although not recommended practice, sourcetree allows me to switch between branches of xerte flawlessly and if I make changes I can commit them straight from there to github. I'm off ill just now but from memory the only issues I got were errors on / initially and on setup when trying to do a full install...

I tried the full server setup (on xampp) first and it didnt work. I prefer that as I have more control over the setup and I know Ron always uses it too. Got a load of errors and then tried the xampp setup and that did work fine.

What I did was: 1. install latest xampp 2. download unstable from community website 3. unzip that in the xertetoolkits folder of xampp 4. Start localhost/xertetoolkits (it gives me errors, I will look into that) 5. Start localhost/xertetoolkits/setup 6. Choose xampp install It seems to work fine.

However I had a separate reason to create a new xampp copy with latest versions of Moodle and Mahara so tested the community site unstable download with a full install on that which seemed to work ok. However I did notice an issue with only seeing the top banner and part of a drop down top left but after refreshing all was fine. I think I noticed that again anad again refresh worked but this may have been browser cache because after restarting the machine the next day all was fine. By default I'm testing with IE10 and Chrome and only occasionally Firefox. Creating a project has been fine throughout. There are obviously lots of variables here e.g. what exactly are we testing or trying to replicate: platform? xampp version, also portable or installed? develop from git or unstable zip? browser? Full, /setup, or xampp install method? There shouldn't be any need to change file paths - I certainly haven't had to do that. -----Original Message----- From: xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Fay Cross Sent: 25 March 2015 10:47 To: For Xerte technical developers Subject: [Xerte-dev] Re: Problems with XAMPP install of develop code I am, I'm not sure about Julian (he's not around today). I'll have a play around this afternoon to see if I can work out what's happening. I have got it working for now by hardcoding some of the file paths in edithtml.php but it's not ideal as I have to change them if I want to switch between projects. -----Original Message----- From: xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Smith, John Sent: 25 March 2015 10:41 To: xerte-dev at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Xerte-dev] Re: Problems with XAMPP install of develop code Are you both using latest xampp? Is it possible to uninstall xampp and try an older version? Its possible that something in windows xampp is causing this and changes haven't made it into Mac yet due to architecture differences or because mac can sometimes be secondary to windows in terms of development priority...

I tried the full server setup (on xampp) first and it didnt work. I prefer that as I have more control over the setup and I know Ron always uses it too.

What I did was: 1. install latest xampp 2. download unstable from community website 3. unzip that in the xertetoolkits folder of xampp 4. Start localhost/xertetoolkits (it gives me errors, I will look into that) 5. Start localhost/xertetoolkits/setup 6. Choose xampp install It seems to work fine. Step 6 doesn't work in IE11, I'll lok into that as well.

However I had a separate reason to create a new xampp copy with latest versions of Moodle and Mahara so tested the community site unstable download with a full install on that which seemed to work ok. However I did notice an issue with only seeing the top banner and part of a drop down top left but after refreshing all was fine. I think I noticed that again anad again refresh worked but this may have been browser cache because after restarting the machine the next day all was fine. By default I'm testing with IE10 and Chrome and only occasionally Firefox. Creating a project has been fine throughout. There are obviously lots of variables here e.g. what exactly are we testing or trying to replicate: platform? xampp version, also portable or installed? develop from git or unstable zip? browser? Full, /setup, or xampp install method? There shouldn't be any need to change file paths - I certainly haven't had to do that. -----Original Message----- From: xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-dev-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Fay Cross Sent: 25 March 2015 10:47 To: For Xerte technical developers Subject: [Xerte-dev] Re: Problems with XAMPP install of develop code I am, I'm not sure about Julian (he's not around today).

However I did notice an issue with only seeing the top banner and part of a drop down top left but after refreshing all was fine. I think I noticed that again anad again refresh worked but this may have been browser cache because after restarting the machine the next day all was fine. By default I'm testing with IE10 and Chrome and only occasionally Firefox. Creating a project has been fine throughout. There are obviously lots of variables here e.g. what exactly are we testing or trying to replicate: platform? xampp version, also portable or installed? develop from git or unstable zip? browser?

However I had a separate reason to create a new xampp copy with latest versions of Moodle and Mahara so tested the community site unstable download with a full install on that which seemed to work ok. However I did notice an issue with only seeing the top banner and part of a drop down top left but after refreshing all was fine. I think I noticed that again anad again refresh worked but this may have been browser cache because after restarting the machine the next day all was fine. By default I'm testing with IE10 and Chrome and only occasionally Firefox. Creating a project has been fine throughout. There are obviously lots of variables here e.g. what exactly are we testing or trying to replicate: platform? xampp version, also portable or installed? develop from git or unstable zip? browser?

I've got NO idea why it would work on some PC's and not on other. I suspect, I am so used to fill in the setup, and know the pitfalls, that I don't even realize there might be huge problems for others. So: CLEAN XAMPP 5.6.3 1. Gave me errors when starting localhost/xertetoolkits -- FIXED 2. XAMPP install seemed to work, but in the end didn't -- FIXED, this was due to the path being set to C:\xampp\xertetookits, xot doesn't like the '\'at all, and complains (at least in IE) about a missing hex number. 3. xampp install still uses mysql interface instead of PDO -- FIXED 4. Same issue as in XAMPP existed in the full install (on XAMPP) -- FIXED This will be in the unstable zip file on the community website tomorrow morning.

I've got NO idea why it would work on some PC's and not on other. I suspect, I am so used to fill in the setup, and know the pitfalls, that I don't even realize there might be huge problems for others. So: CLEAN XAMPP 5.6.3 1. Gave me errors when starting localhost/xertetoolkits -- FIXED 2. XAMPP install seemed to work, but in the end didn't -- FIXED, this was due to the path being set to C:\xampp\xertetookits, xot doesn't like the '\'at all, and complains (at least in IE) about a missing hex number. 3. xampp install still uses mysql interface instead of PDO -- FIXED 4. Same issue as in XAMPP existed in the full install (on XAMPP) -- FIXED This will be in the unstable zip file on the community website tomorrow morning.

Message-ID: <00cf01d067db$8d940050$a8bc00f0$@co.uk> Hi all I added this to the Trello board but thought I should post here too. I know the emphasis is always on ease of use for anyone but I'm a bit worried about the new editor stripping code and breaking previous projects and wondering what the options are? Here's an example: Alistair and I have been continuing some previous HEA/TechDis work delivering webinars and support material using Xerte. I use Font Awesome quite a lot in various LO's including some we have created for this work. Here's a direct link to an example and a page containing FA Icons/code: http://accessiblepractice.org/v/xerte/play_961#resume=3 There are lots of pages in that LO containing similar FA icons/code and the trouble is the minute any title or page content is changed using the new editor those FA icons are stripped out. Here's a test LO: http://training.mitchellmedia.co.uk/xot/play.php?template_id=48 which contains the following in both the title and text fields: Introduction to photography Playing that works at the moment but if I add any text to the title or text fields the is removed. This is just a simple example and arguably the benefits of the new editor far outweigh the ability to use Font Awesome. However ideally it should be possible and obviously there's other use of code and html etc in lots of existing projects that currently will also be stripped like this. Is there any way around this other than not editing those pages/projects in the new editor? Ron -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Ron, I have looked into this, because as far as I am concerned, I don't think we want to block any code. It seems to be possible to switch the feature off, which I will try to do tonight.
