Subject: [Xerte] Glossar
Message-ID: <1BC8884FD2B8C1488F10FA2ECB3208A6E6805A@ITS-MSXMBS5M.ad.unc.edu>
Hello!
I am looking at ways to use Xerte 2.17 for designing a Web course and have a few questions:
1. How can I build a glossary unsing Xerte 2.17?
2. Is there any way to build a glossary if I use a template?
3. Should I be using the 2.17 version in the first place or switch to the 3.0 beta? What will be editable on the long run?
I am very excited about the software and I think it is great to have an open source project that focuses on accessibility and rich hypermedia - especially since so many commercial applications seem to emulate Powerpoint with voiceover.
I also write for the Educational Technology and Change Journal and would like to do an e-mail interview with someone from the developer group, particularly on Xerte & Open Educational Resources.
Best,
Stefanie

Hi,
There is a built in Glossary. It needs to be enabled before you can use it, and then you can add words to it, with definitions:
Glossry.enabled = true;
Glossary.addTerm('word', 'definition');
Then, whenever those words are displayed, they are clickable and the definition is shown. See attached example.
If that's not quite the way you want it you could build a custom glossary: I might need to add some events for you to listen to, then you could handle those events and show the terms using your own code.
I'd be very happy to help with your email interview!
Julian

Hi Guys - apologies if this has been covered before, I've had a look in the list but can't find anything.
I've created a Xerte SCORM (from 1.5 and 1.7 XOT) for blackboard 9.1. It works fine in firefox but fails in IE (7 & 8), the window opens but contents never complete loading.
Other scorms that I've downloaded from the openlearn website work okay in IE, is this something you've come across before?

Hello,
Do you have fiddler installed?
It will show you when a file fails to load properly.

Run it before the scorm object loads - then see if any lines appear red

Subject: [Xerte] change appearance of XOTand LOs
Message-ID: <31CDB875D4C8E948899F952DE8C500C82493E9D4B0@EGEN-MBX02.campus.ads.uwe.ac.uk>
Hi
I've been asked to look into how we could change the appearance of our installation of XOT so it is in keeping with the university's 'look and feel'. I suppose we'd want to change the XOT interface to include our logo and colour scheme to start with. Could we also change the default colour scheme of the LOs produced - but keep the options to have the other colour schemes (high contrast etc.)
What (stylesheets etc.) would need to be changed? Can anyone provide guidance or point me towards some info on this?
Many thanks
Oli

Hi Pat - thanks for that. It's generated this: 12:28:06:4062 Secure client pipe failed: Unable to read data from the transport connection: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. < A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Our new installation of BB9 is running on https which I'm guessing might be part of the problem - but I'm afraid the above code doesn't mean much to me so I'll pass it over to out IT guys.
Thanks again, Colin

Julian,
Thank you very much! The example was very helpful and I was able to create the standard glossary AND include the University logo following the same logic. I just did not pay enough attention on how to do the scripting in the help file.
I have two more critical issues I hope this list can help me to resolve, before I can hopefully start a XERTE project for UNC School of Government. Both have impacts on accessibility / user friendliness:
1. Printing: How can I use rootIcon.printScreen(); to offer users the option to print individual pages? When I add it as a script to a single page, it automatically launches the default printer while, or rather before, loading the page. I am apparently doing something wrong there... Any hints?
2. Screen Size: The player offers several screen size options; however, they do not work with my module. I also tried other Xerte modules like the "Sherwood Forest" and it's the same problem. What am I doing wrong so that this very useful feature gets disabled?
Thanks,
Stefanie
P.S. I will work on the interview guide and get it to you sometime next week!

Hi,
There is a built in Glossary. It needs to be enabled before you can use it, and then you can add words to it, with definitions:
Glossry.enabled = true;
Glossary.addTerm('word', 'definition');
Then, whenever those words are displayed, they are clickable and the definition is shown. See attached example.
If that's not quite the way you want it you could build a custom glossary: I might need to add some events for you to listen to, then you could handle those events and show the terms using your own code.
I'd be very happy to help with your email interview!

Add you print code to a button on an interaction and have the suer hit the utton to print the page.
Dave Burnett has some knowledge / code to share for getting the printing to work nicely: I seem to remember it being a bit tricky.

Yes, it works locally and in most other browsers, it just fails in every version of IE that I've tried.

Hi,
I am struggling to find a way to have an MCQ (4 options one correct answer) with hints.
I would like to have for each option, further information but the user will need to choose to have further information for a particular option and then will have to choose the right answer.
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Yes, and my PC is apparently now at serious risk :)
The odd thing is that scorms from other sources work okay with IE as well. I just wondered if anyone has a simple scorm that they've generated from an https installation of Xerte that I can test.

Hello Ya'll,
First of all: I am liking Xerte more and more every day - especially since this morning, finally, I discovered the "wizard page package" that allows me to combine template convenience with the editing functionality which the general Xerte provides. Pretty cool.
Anyone new to Xerte should definitely review the following two pages in the wiki:
http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Image:Guide_to_installing_and_using_Page_Wizards.pdf (note that the current version is a dead link, any of the other files open fine).
http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Image:JK_PageWizards.zip
I still have not figured out the printing yet, so any input on how to place a print button, ideally on each page, would be greatly appreciated. Can I include a button in the interface background image? Or should I add an image, position it and add the script to it on every page? Do I need to use an event handler for that?
As for the screen size, on the published Web site / Xerte player, I can change the screen size from default, to large, larger, full screen and fill window. When I export my learning object as a Web page, I get the following results:
Default: everything is fine.
Full screen: a grey bar appears below the module.
Fill window: no change, stays default size.
Large resp. larger: Resizes content area so that the controls and parts of the content disappear from view. User has to reload the page to return to the default view.
So my thought was that I have a faulty setting for the learning object or interface. All the other accessibility features (i.e., font and color changes) work fine. The Sherwood Forest Learning Object has the same issue:
http://equella.nottingham.ac.uk/uon/items/140dba30-9f66-0853-7252-f47bb62cbae6/1/ViewIMS.jsp (choose screen size large or larger).
Best,
Stefanie

Julian,
Thank you very much! The example was very helpful and I was able to create the standard glossary AND include the University logo following the same logic. I just did not pay enough attention on how to do the scripting in the help file.
I have two more critical issues I hope this list can help me to resolve, before I can hopefully start a XERTE project for UNC School of Government. Both have impacts on accessibility / user friendliness:
1. Printing: How can I use rootIcon.printScreen(); to offer users the option to print individual pages? When I add it as a script to a single page, it automatically launches the default printer while, or rather before, loading the page. I am apparently doing something wrong there... Any hints?
2. Screen Size: The player offers several screen size options; however, they do not work with my module. I also tried other Xerte modules like the "Sherwood Forest" and it's the same problem. What am I doing wrong so that this very useful feature gets disabled?
Thanks,
Stefanie
P.S. I will work on the interview guide and get it to you sometime next week!

Hi,
There is a built in Glossary. It needs to be enabled before you can use it, and then you can add words to it, with definitions:
Glossry.enabled = true;
Glossary.addTerm('word', 'definition');
Then, whenever those words are displayed, they are clickable and the definition is shown. See attached example.
If that's not quite the way you want it you could build a custom glossary: I might need to add some events for you to listen to, then you could handle those events and show the terms using your own code.
I'd be very happy to help with your email interview!

Re the Robin Hood example try the same screen size option on this version:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_264
I think you'll find it's not working on the Equella link because of the way
it's embedded in the page.
If you're viewing a published project on a local drive or USB you need to
make sure the flash security settings allows that drive/folder as a trusted
location.

Hi Ron,
Thanks, that helps!
I do understand that the different page embed codes explains the differences in the two Robin Hood displays (though I have not figured out where the error is) - but that definitely makes sense now.
However, with my own project, all I do is click on File > Publish and open the resulting index.htm.
So I still don't understand what I am doing wrong or could be doing differently to avoid the problem.
Best,
Stefanie

However, with my own project, all I do is click on File > Publish and open
the resulting index.htm.
So I still don't understand what I am doing wrong or could be doing
differently to avoid the problem.
Best,
Stefanie

Re the Robin Hood example try the same screen size option on this version:
http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_264
I think you'll find it's not working on the Equella link because of the way
it's embedded in the page.
If you're viewing a published project on a local drive or USB you need to
make sure the flash security settings allows that drive/folder as a trusted
location.

Hello Ya'll,
First of all: I am liking Xerte more and more every day - especially since
this morning, finally, I discovered the "wizard page package" that allows me
to combine template convenience with the editing functionality which the
general Xerte provides. Pretty cool.
Anyone new to Xerte should definitely review the following two pages in the
wiki:
http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Image:Guide_to_installing_and_using_P
age_Wizards.pdf (note that the current version is a dead link, any of the
other files open fine).
http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Image:JK_PageWizards.zip
I still have not figured out the printing yet, so any input on how to place
a print button, ideally on each page, would be greatly appreciated. Can I
include a button in the interface background image? Or should I add an
image, position it and add the script to it on every page? Do I need to use
an event handler for that?
As for the screen size, on the published Web site / Xerte player, I can
change the screen size from default, to large, larger, full screen and fill
window. When I export my learning object as a Web page, I get the following
results:
Default: everything is fine.
Full screen: a grey bar appears below the module.
Fill window: no change, stays default size.
Large resp. larger: Resizes content area so that the controls and parts of
the content disappear from view. User has to reload the page to return to
the default view.
So my thought was that I have a faulty setting for the learning object or
interface. All the other accessibility features (i.e., font and color
changes) work fine. The Sherwood Forest Learning Object has the same issue:
http://equella.nottingham.ac.uk/uon/items/140dba30-9f66-0853-7252-f47bb62cba
e6/1/ViewIMS.jsp (choose screen size large or larger).
Best,
Stefanie

Message-ID:
Hello Stefanie,
The page wizards were implemented to provide access to both the full Xerte
desktop editing environment and all the pages that were available in
pageTemplates based projects. There are even a few pages that are not
currently available in pageTemplates e.g. the routed pages that let you
define one or more destinations that the learner can be taken to when they
exit the page.
Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte release.
Page Wizards are a great way to learn more about how to create your own
Xerte page designs, but you might want to hold back from creating any live
projects with them as they will become effectively obsolete with the next
release of Xerte. If you have created any Page Wizard based projects they
will continue to work. But the next release of Xerte will include
individual page templates, as well as all the features you are already used
to, Effectively the Page Wizard approach is being incorporated into desktop
Xerte. This will offer significant improvements to the ease of use of the
current Page Wizards - automatic folder creation, thumbnails and hints to
help with page selection etc.
Kind regards
Johnathan

Hi all
I've been working on a learning object using the simple Media>Graphic and sound templates. The LO is at http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_100
This is the bit that puzzles me - I don't want the image magnifier to show and I haven't select the option. However, the magnifier shows on every page UNLESS I move forward a page and then back a page. The first visit to the page has a magnifier. The second and subsequent pages don't have. Can I check

2) what can be done about it?

Hi Alistair
I've been investigating this since your message and have just uploaded a
tweaked textGraphic.rlm so you should find this fixed now?
What's not clear is what changed to cause this and when. I imported your LO
into the sandpit and the same problem existed there. So then I I created a
new LO from scratch with a single graphics and sound page and same problem.
Will investigate further but please check and confirm this is fixed?

Hello Stefanie,
The page wizards were implemented to provide access to both the full Xerte desktop editing environment and all the pages that were available in pageTemplates based projects. There are even a few pages that are not currently available in pageTemplates e.g. the routed pages that let you define one or more destinations that the learner can be taken to when they exit the page.
Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte release.
Page Wizards are a great way to learn more about how to create your own Xerte page designs, but you might want to hold back from creating any live projects with them as they will become effectively obsolete with the next release of Xerte. If you have created any Page Wizard based projects they will continue to work. But the next release of Xerte will include individual page templates, as well as all the features you are already used to, Effectively the Page Wizard approach is being incorporated into desktop Xerte. This will offer significant improvements to the ease of use of the current Page Wizards - automatic folder creation, thumbnails and hints to help with page selection etc.
Kind regards
Johnathan

Hello Ya'll,
First of all: I am liking Xerte more and more every day - especially since this morning, finally, I discovered the "wizard page package" that allows me to combine template convenience with the editing functionality which the general Xerte provides. Pretty cool.
Anyone new to Xerte should definitely review the following two pages in the wiki:
http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Image:Guide_to_installing_and_using_Page_Wizards.pdf (note that the current version is a dead link, any of the other files open fine).
http://wiki.xerte.net/index.php5?title=Image:JK_PageWizards.zip
I still have not figured out the printing yet, so any input on how to place a print button, ideally on each page, would be greatly appreciated. Can I include a button in the interface background image? Or should I add an image, position it and add the script to it on every page? Do I need to use an event handler for that?
As for the screen size, on the published Web site / Xerte player, I can change the screen size from default, to large, larger, full screen and fill window. When I export my learning object as a Web page, I get the following results:
Default: everything is fine.
Full screen: a grey bar appears below the module.
Fill window: no change, stays default size.
Large resp. larger: Resizes content area so that the controls and parts of the content disappear from view. User has to reload the page to return to the default view.
So my thought was that I have a faulty setting for the learning object or interface. All the other accessibility features (i.e., font and color changes) work fine. The Sherwood Forest Learning Object has the same issue:
http://equella.nottingham.ac.uk/uon/items/140dba30-9f66-0853-7252-f47bb62cbae6/1/ViewIMS.jsp (choose screen size large or larger).

Julian,
Thank you very much! The example was very helpful and I was able to create the standard glossary AND include the University logo following the same logic. I just did not pay enough attention on how to do the scripting in the help file.
I have two more critical issues I hope this list can help me to resolve, before I can hopefully start a XERTE project for UNC School of Government. Both have impacts on accessibility / user friendliness:
1. Printing: How can I use rootIcon.printScreen(); to offer users the option to print individual pages? When I add it as a script to a single page, it automatically launches the default printer while, or rather before, loading the page. I am apparently doing something wrong there... Any hints?
2. Screen Size: The player offers several screen size options; however, they do not work with my module. I also tried other Xerte modules like the "Sherwood Forest" and it's the same problem. What am I doing wrong so that this very useful feature gets disabled?
Thanks,
Stefanie
P.S. I will work on the interview guide and get it to you sometime next week!

Hi,
There is a built in Glossary. It needs to be enabled before you can use it, and then you can add words to it, with definitions:
Glossry.enabled = true;
Glossary.addTerm('word', 'definition');
Then, whenever those words are displayed, they are clickable and the definition is shown. See attached example.
If that's not quite the way you want it you could build a custom glossary: I might need to add some events for you to listen to, then you could handle those events and show the terms using your own code.
I'd be very happy to help with your email interview!

Add an entry frame to the interface icon, and build your print button in there. Any content in a framework's entry frame is visible on each page in the framework. Generally, if you find yourself repeating code, you're doing something wrong.
In terms of the actual print, are you looking to just print the screen, or something more complex? You can build a new PrintJob and then add items to it to create a completely custom printout, but it can get a bit tricky. If print screen works for you, that's much easier.

Your LO looks absolutely fine ( i.e. no magnifier showing) on Firefox 9 and Chrome and works fine when I create an LO with Media>Graphic and sound template as well.

Hi all
I?ve been working on a learning object using the simple Media>Graphic and sound templates. The LO is at http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_100
This is the bit that puzzles me ? I don?t want the image magnifier to show and I haven?t select the option. However, the magnifier shows on every page UNLESS I move forward a page and then back a page. The first visit to the page has a magnifier. The second and subsequent pages don?t have. Can I check
1) whether others are getting the same effect? (I have this effect on IE, Chrome and FireFox 8
2) what can be done about it?

Hi all,
A quick update on where we are at with our install at Bath. Our
developer has said (citing
http://www.palepurple.co.uk/blog-xerte-online-toolkits) there is no
clear or simple upgrade path from our existing install (I think v 1.5)
to 1.7 and if there is he is currently doesn't have the time to
familiarise himself with what is needed due to other commitments (we are
upgrading to Moodle 2 this summer).
He has, however, agreed to do a clean install of 1.7 from the SVN. My
question is what would we need to do for this to work - we currently
have upwards of 60 Xerte learning objects created using our current
install, which are embedded into various Moodle courses. Presumably we
would need to save these (how?) and then re-upload them into the new 1.7
install and then update all the URLs in Moodle?
cheers

You can:
Keep the folders from the old install
Make new learning objects in the new install,
Copy the data.xml and media folders from the old LOs over the top of the new LOs you just created
Update the URLs in moodle.
60 isn't too many, but enough for an hour's work or so. If you've got the two ftp windows open, it's not so bad. I do this quite a bit when I want to move stuff from one owner to another.
Pat might have some better automagic way.
There aren't any database changes planned, so in the future it should be an 'over the top' update.
A lot of the issues Dave Goodwin noted were fixed.

Message-ID:
...lost track of how often i've answered this....
There are 3 databases changes. 1 of which doesn't do anything (by
default it's turned off in the code), the second one (LDAP table) you
can run without (it is only really useful if you use multiple ldap
hosts - which was supported before, but not quite as nicely), and one
table has an index on one column to make the database queries quicker
- again - it'll make your database faster, but it doesn't make a
difference to it technically working or not.
So there is no upgrade path, as you don't need one. I deliberately
barely ever changed the database as I didn't want to have to write
upgrade scripts for people.
So, two options
1) Download 1.7 and run a diff over the two folders. Back up your old
site, then copy all of the changed 1.7 files over.
2) Install 1.7 then write some PHP (or just use mysql, if your SQL is
good enough) to copy all of the content from the old database tables
over into the new database tables (basically a select statement tied
to an insert statement).
I would do one first, and if you need to do 2.
1 should take about 10-20 minutes.
2 would take more like an hour, maybe less

Subject: [Xerte] embedDiv page and missing contents list
Message-ID:
I have used the latest version of embedDiv.rlm from the
templates/pageTemplates/models folder of the xerte svn to update my xerte
install.
Both in an individual page template project and in a pageTemplates project
I have found that whilst the embedDiv page works, for some reason when the
published project is viewed in Opera or IE8 when you view the embedDiv page
the xerte contents menu ceases to operate.
To test create a project with a title page and an embedDiv page with a
valid url.
When viewing the title page you will be able to open the xerte contents
menu.
Then go to the embedDiv page - now the contents menu will cease to operate.
Now return to the title page - contents menu works again.
Kind regards
Johnathan

Also it's perfectly possible to upgrade an XOT install without starting with
a clean install and arguably much much easier than Moodle upgrades - but yes
the familiarization with XOT needed is really no different to the
familiarization with Moodle needed. Also in my experience you'd get the
answers to issues and questions with a XOT upgrade far quicker via this
mailing list than you would with similar issues via Moodle forums etc.
If you really wanted to start with a clean install you could potentially
move some tables about between the two installs rather than manually export
and import LO's but then if you have that skillset you'd be better moving
the differences between the clean install to the old install to ensue
everything still works as it does now e.g. no change of links etc.

You can:
Keep the folders from the old install
Make new learning objects in the new install,
Copy the data.xml and media folders from the old LOs over the top of the new
LOs you just created
Update the URLs in moodle.
60 isn't too many, but enough for an hour's work or so. If you've got the
two ftp windows open, it's not so bad. I do this quite a bit when I want to
move stuff from one owner to another.
Pat might have some better automagic way.
There aren't any database changes planned, so in the future it should be an
'over the top' update.
A lot of the issues Dave Goodwin noted were fixed.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Upgrading XOT to 1.7 versus a clean install
Hi all,
A quick update on where we are at with our install at Bath. Our developer
has said (citing http://www.palepurple.co.uk/blog-xerte-online-toolkits)
there is no clear or simple upgrade path from our existing install (I think
v 1.5) to 1.7 and if there is he is currently doesn't have the time to
familiarise himself with what is needed due to other commitments (we are
upgrading to Moodle 2 this summer).
He has, however, agreed to do a clean install of 1.7 from the SVN. My
question is what would we need to do for this to work - we currently have
upwards of 60 Xerte learning objects created using our current install,
which are embedded into various Moodle courses. Presumably we would need to
save these (how?) and then re-upload them into the new 1.7 install and then
update all the URLs in Moodle?
cheers
Julian

Someone will probably beat me to this response :-( but I suspect this is
just an unavoidable consequence of the way the embed content page works e.g.
it's creating a browser window above the Xerte Flash window and it has to be
above for it to show whatever is embedded so I suspect the Xerte Contents
menu is still working but below the browser window. But I'd say the benefits
far outweigh that minor issue?

Subject: [Xerte] embedDiv page and missing contents list
I have used the latest version of embedDiv.rlm from the
templates/pageTemplates/models folder of the xerte svn to update my xerte
install.
Both in an individual page template project and in a pageTemplates project I
have found that whilst the embedDiv page works, for some reason when the
published project is viewed in Opera or IE8 when you view the embedDiv page
the xerte contents menu ceases to operate.
To test create a project with a title page and an embedDiv page with a valid
url.
When viewing the title page you will be able to open the xerte contents
menu.
Then go to the embedDiv page - now the contents menu will cease to operate.
Now return to the title page - contents menu works again.
Kind regards

Flash always had a crazy zindex issue , and the embed div definitely
uses a high one to get above the flash player.
Can't you specify the embed div to be any size?

Subject: [Xerte] There's a cat in a box in the Interactive Diagram
(customHotspots) page and it won't come out!
Message-ID:
I have found an intransigent little tabby in the customHotspots page.
I have spent a couple of hours trying to persuade it to come out but it
won't play ball.
At this rate I won't make much progress on the translation preparation so I
am referring it back to the Xerte list.
I am using the model file from the Xerte svn customHotspots.rlm
Create a pageTemplates project with a title page and an Interactive Diagram
page.
Edit the drawing in the Interactive diagram page, add a graphic and give it
3 hotspots.
Add a label and info to each of the three hotspots and save the drawing.
Set the page's interactivity to MCQ and save your project.
Now preview it.
Navigate a few times back and forth between the title page and the
Interactive Diagram page and on each visit to the Interactive Diagram page
look out for the Check button.
After two or three returns to the page it has usually disappeared. Which
rather takes the edge of the invitation the page offers that "You can
retake the quiz at any time"
I look forward to finding out what is causing this temperamental behaviour.
Kind regards

Thanks Cuna - if you looked at it after Sunday afternoon then I think it proves we've fixed it. There was a file in that Ron updated for the two Xerte installations we use and that has done the trick.
Many thanks for responding and confirming that it is now sorted.

Your LO looks absolutely fine ( i.e. no magnifier showing) on Firefox 9 and Chrome and works fine when I create an LO with Media>Graphic and sound template as well.

Hi all
I've been working on a learning object using the simple Media>Graphic and sound templates. The LO is at http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_100
This is the bit that puzzles me - I don't want the image magnifier to show and I haven't select the option. However, the magnifier shows on every page UNLESS I move forward a page and then back a page. The first visit to the page has a magnifier. The second and subsequent pages don't have. Can I check
1) whether others are getting the same effect? (I have this effect on IE, Chrome and FireFox 8
2) what can be done about it?

Hi
Recently I had problems with latex rendering in a Xerte LO in the sandpit and when imported to Blackboard. Julian and co kindly directed me to a new file to use instead of the old one, this was the XMLEngine.swf. Once I had replaced the file this worked fine in Blackboard.
Unfortunately, I had to amend the calculations in the LO. So I imported the old LO into the sandpit area and amended the code. The formulae are only partially rendering in the sandpit, e.g. 'times' instead of 'x'. The formulae are also not working when I import the new LO with the previously used XMLEngine.swf in Blackboard.
Is there a way to work around this?
Many thanks, Alex.

The default SCORM export has no extra metadata in the fields.
As XOT has support for dc:title and dc:description (see the open
content tab) - you can opt to create a scorm package with this data in
too, if you prefer. Some people may not want to, hence both options.

Hi Alistair
you should find that both the itq site and the sandpit now both display
latex and also work offline when exported.
Let me know if you encounter any further problems.
Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron
Many thanks for speedy response.
1) Now it works fine on the server BUT
2) Local version after download doesn't work - doesn't render any latex but
leaves blank spaces.
Is that the export function that needs tweaking or something different?

I was updating the itq installation as your message came in - try again I
think you'll find it works now?
However could you try exporting that and viewing locally and answer the
following:
1. Does it still display the latex when viewed locally?
2. If it displays is it ok or is it jumbled in any way e.g. spacing between
lines not quite right?
Cheers
Ron
BTW sandpit not yet updated - need to contact David about something.

Subject: [Xerte] Formulae and Latex - idiot's guide?
Hi all
I previously creates a learning object at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_59 to show teaching staff how to
create formulae using simple Latex expressions.
I know there have been issues with the site that was used to host the Latex
rendering script and we now have a new solution but I'm not sure how to
implement the new solution so that my old learning object (above) will
correctly display the formulae now.
I've probably missed some important comment in a thread I skimmed too
quickly but any pointers as to how to 'redeem' old formulae rich learning
objects will be very welcome.
Thanks
