[Xerte] Transparent draggable items....?

Tue Aug 24 20:18:28 BST 2010

Hi all

I replied to Alistair off-list saying that this seems to have been an error
with the categories model in an update I applied to the sandpit and another
server. I'm not quite sure how as I hadn't changed this particular model at
all but I replaced the model on these installations with the one from the
latest build and it fixed the issue.

Regards

Ron

Are you using Xerte or Xerte On-line toolkits?

The last release of Xerte contained changes to the categories.rlm file which
were I think designed to automate the size of the draggable labels. As far
as I can tell the code no longer utilises the labelSize value in the wizard
(I don't think this worked anyway in the earlier version) and now sets all
labels to the size required for the largest label. Whether there are
conditions that could result in a label height that was so small that only
the text would show I don't know.

Hope this is of help.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hi Pat

I don't have access to check at the moment is it possible this has crept in
via the latest build - especially the files in the repository?

The same issue is happening on another installation I look after so it's
either something I've introduced or latest build. I haven't made any changes
to the categories model so not until I can investigate.

Cheers

Hi all

I've been preparing something on the JISC TechDis sandpit and found that the
categories quiz looks odd (see attachment) where the background to every
draggable label is transparent. It's not a major problem when using mouse to
position because as soon as you drag single label over another background
you see text but it's impossible to use with keyboard Click and Click
because you can't tell what the label is! Any idea where the cause might be?
