[Xerte] XOT iSpring free

[Julian Tenney]

It's because the two pieces of software are completely different in the way they work, and you can only have one installed t a time. I don't want to uninstall my iSpring Pro, so testing the free one is  bit tricky, and in any case, how can the template discriminate? It just gets a swf. That would need a user option I think.

Thanks all for confirming it's not just my laptop/browsers.
And thanks Alistair for the loan of the presentation! ;-) I wanted to test with something a bit more complex than the norm.
I'll probably still refer to iSpringfree during training tomorrow but will note the problem too.
Cheers
Ron

It happens for me as well, so yes, it's a problem.

I'm not sure what the answer is at the moment,

I only get trouble on big text sizes?

Hi Julian/all
in prep for some training tomorrow I was just doing some tests with the XOT iSpring page and discovered something I hadn't noticed before. This appears to be a problem with the iSpring free option rather than iSpring Pro but obviously it's the free version that most people use - at least at first.

The problem is when the LO is set to full screen or fill window. Here's an example http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/moodle/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=141

The first two pages contain a ppt exported from the latest trial version of iSpring Pro with two different output settings. These both work fine regardless of the display mode. However page 3 contains ispringfree output which is fine at default screen size but set to full screen or fill window and advance the presentation and on my laptop at least the presentation displays too large and the lower LO navigation is lost. If the LO is set to full screen or fill window by default the presentation is too large instantly but with it set to default you have to advance the presentation on page 3 to see the problem.

So two questions:

1. Does this happen to you too?

2. Is there a tweak to the ispringfree code that would prevent this?

Cheers
Ron
