Subject: [Xerte] display checkmarks on menu
Message-ID: <001201ccc83d$3f4a3590$bddea0b0$@kccsoft.com>

I'd like to turn checkmarks on on a menu when the student has finished a
section.

 

I want to loop through an array to get '1' or '0' then place the checkmark
and display it if the value is '1'.

 

How to best do that in AS? Can I create one checkmark graphic, move it
around with x/y coordinates and make it visible on the fly? Any time saving
suggestions on how to best handle this? My AW code is not a direct port on
this one :- (


Happy New Year!

Hello Ron,

I don't know how you are building your menu but if each item is a text
object you could assign an image to each text item and then change the
image when the menu item has been accessed.

Create an image icon for each image you will require - it may be you just
use a tick image and a transparent image. In this example I'll call then
imgBlank and imgTick

For each image capture the url data

blankUrl =
imgBlank.XMLElement.attributes.url.substring(16,imgBlank.XMLElement.attributes.url.length
-1 );
tickUrl =
imgTick.XMLElement.attributes.url.substring(16,imgTick.XMLElement.attributes.url.length
-1 );

// Set the image visible properties to 0 to hide them.
imgBlank._visible = 0;
imgTick._visible = 0;

// create a movieclip loader
loader = new MovieClipLoader();

// for each text icon in your menu you can then assign an image
txtMenuItemA.createEmptyMovieClip("myImage", 999);
// then assign the appropriate graphic
loader.loadClip(FileLocation + blankUrl, txtMenuItemA.myImage);

// at a later time you should be able to change the graphic to a tick
loader.loadClip(FileLocation + tickUrl, txtMenuItemA.myImage);

The above is based on a page I created a while back.

I don't have time to test it out now but if you think it looks like it may
solve your problem then give it a try.
If you have any issues getting it to work post back and I will check
everything over to make sure I haven't missed anything out.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hello Johnathan and Dave

my problem is here:?

getURL('http://www.bbc.co.uk','_blank'); // change the first parameter to match the url of the file you want to open
ok Johnathan I wrote in my script : 

debug("clicked");

getURL('http://media/pdf/comparative.pdf','_blank');
ok the window opens in the browser but it does not display my document. pdf (comparative.pdf).

Kind regardsMatteo

Hello Dave,


I just tried your approach and that works as well - just note that it is the event's icon property that needs setting to mypic and not the event's id property. But all in all a tidier solution than the one I offered.

Nice one.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hello Matteo,

Your file is not located on a web server so http won't find it.

I am guessing your file is in a folder that is in the project folder
hierarchy.

Try instead

getURL(FileLocation + 'media/pdf/comparative.pdf','_blank');

that might work.

Kind regards and a Happy New Year

Johnathan

I'd say place a single checkmark graphic/mc  icon off the flow, duplicate it (maybe dynamically) as per number of sections.All are initially x/y'ed off screen.Then when you examine the array, use the array position value to position the matching checkmark child icon.

I?d like to turn checkmarks on on a menu when the student has finished a section. I want to loop through an array to get ?1? or ?0? then place the checkmark and display it if the value is ?1?.

Hello Johnathan

 

Thanks for this suggestion. It's far bit over my head at this point but I'll
try to work my way through it as time permits.

Hello Ron,

 

I don't know how you are building your menu but if each item is a text
object you could assign an image to each text item and then change the image
when the menu item has been accessed. 

 

Create an image icon for each image you will require - it may be you just
use a tick image and a transparent image. In this example I'll call then
imgBlank and imgTick

 

For each image capture the url data

 

blankUrl =
imgBlank.XMLElement.attributes.url.substring(16,imgBlank.XMLElement.attribut
es.url.length -1 ); 

tickUrl =
imgTick.XMLElement.attributes.url.substring(16,imgTick.XMLElement.attributes
.url.length -1 );  

 

// Set the image visible properties to 0 to hide them.

imgBlank._visible = 0;

imgTick._visible = 0;

 

// create a movieclip loader

loader = new MovieClipLoader();

 

// for each text icon in your menu you can then assign an image

txtMenuItemA.createEmptyMovieClip("myImage", 999);

// then assign the appropriate graphic

loader.loadClip(FileLocation + blankUrl, txtMenuItemA.myImage); 

 

// at a later time you should be able to change the graphic to a tick

loader.loadClip(FileLocation + tickUrl, txtMenuItemA.myImage);  

 

The above is based on a page I created a while back. 

 

I don't have time to test it out now but if you think it looks like it may
solve your problem then give it a try.

If you have any issues getting it to work post back and I will check
everything over to make sure I haven't missed anything out.

 

Kind regards

 

Johnathan

In the IFC framework entry below I have a script icon that duplicates a proto display 
<LO>  <IFC>    <FW_ENT> // id=fwid       <SCR>// dupes proto below 4 times       <DIS> 
When I query for the children of that FW_ENT, I only get the displays listed.
inspect(fwid)
children : _level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.DIS_MC1,_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.DIS_MC2,_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.DIS_MC3,_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.DIS_MC4,_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.DIS_MC5
Does the SCR not count as a child?

How about

icon.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.firstChild.clip()._x ?

Just a wild guess!

Thanks Johnathan. I tried many variations on that theme. :-)
I think the problem is that nomen addresses the xml nodes, while I'm trying to address an instantiated object.
I finally ran across this:
_level0.engine.IFC.FW_ENT.children[i]._y = 100+(offset*i); 
 which I loop through and can indeed move the clips about after they have been created.
Probably some misuse of code in there, which Julian will box my ears with when he returns.;-)

SCR doesn't get turned into a movieclip, so it's never made a child: rather the code in it just executes. You'll see the results of the dupe in the xml, rather than the movieclips until the rest of the xml has been parsed. If you debug in another script after the dupe'd DIS icons, you'll see them,

Give the DIS an ID? Otherwise give the FW_ENT an ID and you can do myFWENT.XMLElement.firstChild.clip()

Or I think there are some getChildByName that will return the XML Node for an icon known by name / ID, so you can do rootIcon.XMLElement.getChildByName();

Otherwise it's really too messy to do the icon.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.previousSibling.firstChild, but you could do.

There is a 'tick' symbol in the engine's library for this purpose, called 'tick', so you can do attachMovie(). You can change the colour of the tick using the MovieClip methods, setRGB() I think.

Julian will know the why's and wherefore's of this.
They are simply facts of life.

The real explanation is that there are two IDs associated with an interaction response: the interactive 'thing' (a button, image, control, etc) and the page of content that is rendered when the interaction is matched. So we needed a new property for the interactive 'thing' and 'rs' is short for 'response'.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: download file pdf

The ID is used as the unique identifier of an icon, so once you set the icon property of an icon you can refer directly to it by using its ID. That is except for icons that are normally the children of an interaction icon i.e. the sort of icons you see listed when you right click on an interaction icon in desktop Xerte e.g. button, hotspot etc. These use the rs property to identify themselves and not the id property.

Julian will know the why's and wherefore's of this.

You can read about it in the "interactions overview" section of the Xerte help file.

Hello Matteo,

Sorry I don't have time to test this solution before suggesting it.

Check out the Xerte help files.

I don't think that by default an image icon is sensitive to mouse events and thus will not trigger an onRelease event.

However you can add a hotObject icon to an interaction and then add an image icon as a child of the hotObject. This will allow mouse events to be detected by the image. I am not sure if the event will be triggered by the hot object or the image. If it is the hot object icon then you may need to use the rs property rather than the id property to identify the hotObject icon when specifying what object sends the event.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Couldn't resist.... :-)
It depends a bit on the youtube model you have.

This is preliminary, I have no final fix (I am not at home, and have no access to all I need)

If you have a version where you can set the size, it is more or less already fixed.
If you are using an older model, you need to update the model, or change the component.

This is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger.

SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works.

As far as I can tell you need to set the correct size in the onPlayerLoad event handler script. See the toggle event handler for an example.

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions
I'm still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to display in the preview window as the image below on the right.

I'd appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines here it is right off the page.

http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version)

https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5 version)

This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the movie in the preview window. I'm using the youtube older 'object' 'embed' code. I've tried setting the xerte display mode from 'full screen' and 'full window' to 'default', set text alignment to 'right' and tried removing the variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect.

If you play with the 'magnify' icon (click it three times) the movie will resize back into the preview window, but that's too much to ask a user to do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code).

Thanks for any suggestions....am I missing something obvious?

OK, a simple enough fix is to hide the youtube swf off the screen until onPlayerLoad fires and then let the code in there reposition it. Then you don't see the component flickering:

It depends a bit on the youtube model you have.

This is preliminary, I have no final fix (I am not at home, and have no access to all I need)

If you have a version where you can set the size, it is more or less already fixed.
If you are using an older model, you need to update the model, or change the component.

This is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger.

SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works.

As far as I can tell you need to set the correct size in the onPlayerLoad event handler script. See the toggle event handler for an example.

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions
I'm still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to display in the preview window as the image below on the right.

I'd appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines here it is right off the page.

http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version)

https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5 version)

This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the movie in the preview window. I'm using the youtube older 'object' 'embed' code. I've tried setting the xerte display mode from 'full screen' and 'full window' to 'default', set text alignment to 'right' and tried removing the variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect.

If you play with the 'magnify' icon (click it three times) the movie will resize back into the preview window, but that's too much to ask a user to do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code).

Thanks for any suggestions....am I missing something obvious?

It depends a bit on the youtube model you have.

This is preliminary, I have no final fix (I am not at home, and have no
access to all I need)

If you have a version where you can set the size, it is more or less already
fixed.
If you are using an older model, you need to update the model, or change the
component.

This is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that
youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger.

SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the
size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set
the size, this works.

As far as I can tell you need to set the correct size in the onPlayerLoad
event handler script. See the toggle event handler for an example.

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions

I'm still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page
the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to
display in the preview window as the image below on the right.

 

I'd appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the
youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window
or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines
here it is right off the page.

 

http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version)

 

https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5
version)

 

This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the
movie in the preview window. I'm using the youtube older 'object' 'embed'
code. I've tried setting the xerte display mode from 'full screen' and 'full
window' to 'default', set text alignment to 'right' and tried removing the
variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect.

 

If you play with the 'magnify' icon (click it three times) the movie will
resize back into the preview window, but that's too much to ask a user to
do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or
somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code).

 

Thanks for any suggestions..am I missing something obvious?

Subject: [Xerte] [Xerte2] Drag and drop labelling: align top or bottom?

Hi,

Image and Advanced image objects have the ability of aligning text to top or bottom.
Drag and drop labelling and Hotspot image only provide left and right options.
Is it possible in any way to have top and bottom alignment in these object types too, combined with a full width image?

Thx for any hints.

Couldn't resist.... :-)
It depends a bit on the youtube model you have.

This is preliminary, I have no final fix (I am not at home, and have no access to all I need)

If you have a version where you can set the size, it is more or less already fixed.
If you are using an older model, you need to update the model, or change the component.

This is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger.

SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works.

As far as I can tell you need to set the correct size in the onPlayerLoad event handler script. See the toggle event handler for an example.

Tom

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions
I'm still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to display in the preview window as the image below on the right.

I'd appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines here it is right off the page.

http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version)

https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5 version)

This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the movie in the preview window. I'm using the youtube older 'object' 'embed' code. I've tried setting the xerte display mode from 'full screen' and 'full window' to 'default', set text alignment to 'right' and tried removing the variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect.

If you play with the 'magnify' icon (click it three times) the movie will resize back into the preview window, but that's too much to ask a user to do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code).

Thanks for any suggestions....am I missing something obvious?

youtuberss.rlm needs updating as well....

OK, a simple enough fix is to hide the youtube swf off the screen until onPlayerLoad fires and then let the code in there reposition it. Then you don't see the component flickering:

Couldn't resist.... :-)
It depends a bit on the youtube model you have.

This is preliminary, I have no final fix (I am not at home, and have no access to all I need)

If you have a version where you can set the size, it is more or less already fixed.
If you are using an older model, you need to update the model, or change the component.

This is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger.

SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works.

As far as I can tell you need to set the correct size in the onPlayerLoad event handler script. See the toggle event handler for an example.

If anyone's got nothing better to do, then the source code is in the /templates folder of a xerte windows install, and the youtube docs are online. Make a page templates project, and then compile youTubeComponent.fla over the swf  in /common, and see what happens. The .fla is not complicated...

...but you really ought to have better things to be doing at this time of year...

...so Merry Christmas! Thanks to everyone for all the input this year, enjoy the holidays, and we'll pick it all up again in the New year.

Best wishes for a great 2012.

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions
I'm still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to display in the preview window as the image below on the right.

I'd appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines here it is right off the page.

http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version)

https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5 version)

This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the movie in the preview window. I'm using the youtube older 'object' 'embed' code. I've tried setting the xerte display mode from 'full screen' and 'full window' to 'default', set text alignment to 'right' and tried removing the variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect.

If you play with the 'magnify' icon (click it three times) the movie will resize back into the preview window, but that's too much to ask a user to do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code).

Thanks for any suggestions....am I missing something obvious?

V2 will cost $20 for a million characters a month to be translated. If folk are making extensive use of it, then they will have to set up with google and manage the code themselves.

It's sort of the same with Maps - if you make too many requests on that, you'll effectively get rate limited / need a license?. it's understandable, but unfortunate.

OK, we are using your script now, and If it all works fine while we test it here, we'll go with it, thanks.

Can you monitor how many hits you are getting, and even where they originate from? That might be interesting to know.

I tried to install Xerte online and ran into a roadblock. I followed all the
installation directions to the letter, and the installation script
successfully created all the Xerte tables in the database I'd set up for it.
However, when I try to access the Xerte installation, it says:

 

"Sorry, the system cannot connect to the database at present. The mysql
error is Access denied for user 'mtg5[..]8'@'184.[..].193' (using password:
YES)"

 

My website is hosted through GoDaddy.

 

Thanks!!!

The username in database.php isn't allowed to access the database the
installer created

If you have cPanel check to see if the account you're using in
database.php has select,delete,insert and update privileges for that
database.

Is it OK to just replace the toolkits 1.5 youtube.rlm's with these new ones?
Any compatibility issues?

OK, a simple enough fix is to hide the youtube swf off the screen until
onPlayerLoad fires and then let the code in there reposition it. Then you
don't see the component flickering:

It depends a bit on the youtube model you have.

This is preliminary, I have no final fix (I am not at home, and have no
access to all I need)

If you have a version where you can set the size, it is more or less already
fixed.
If you are using an older model, you need to update the model, or change the
component.

This is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that
youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger.

SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the
size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set
the size, this works.

As far as I can tell you need to set the correct size in the onPlayerLoad
event handler script. See the toggle event handler for an example.

Subject: [Xerte] youtube movie dimensions

I'm still stuck on youtube movie sizing. When I enter a youtube movie page
the movie is oversized like in the image below to the left. I want it to
display in the preview window as the image below on the right.

 

I'd appreciate it if someone could try these links below and tell me if the
youtube movie (usually page 7) displays properly in the small preview window
or opens right off the page as in the image below left. On all my machines
here it is right off the page.

 

http://www.kccsoft.com/RGM/ssv51training/index.htm     (desktop version)

 

https://kccsoft.com/u2c/tk100714/play.php?template_id=410    (toolkits 1.5
version)

 

This just started a few days ago, up until then the page opened with the
movie in the preview window. I'm using the youtube older 'object' 'embed'
code. I've tried setting the xerte display mode from 'full screen' and 'full
window' to 'default', set text alignment to 'right' and tried removing the
variables off the end of the youtube URL, all to no effect.

 

If you play with the 'magnify' icon (click it three times) the movie will
resize back into the preview window, but that's too much to ask a user to
do. Is there a way I can initialize the movie size when the page loads or
somehow force the size (although it is set in the youtube embed code).

 

Thanks for any suggestions..am I missing something obvious?

There is a 'tick' symbol in the engine's library for this purpose, called
'tick', so you can do attachMovie(). You can change the colour of the tick
using the MovieClip methods, setRGB() I think.

I'd like to turn checkmarks on on a menu when the student has finished a
section.

 

I want to loop through an array to get '1' or '0' then place the checkmark
and display it if the value is '1'.

 

How to best do that in AS? Can I create one checkmark graphic, move it
around with x/y coordinates and make it visible on the fly? Any time saving
suggestions on how to best handle this? My AW code is not a direct port on
this one :- (

Yes, object['string'].property is the same as object.string.property.

Doesn't attach movie have an initObject as the fourth param so you can do

attachMovie(libItem, newName, depth, {_x: 30}); etc?

Thanks so much for your response. I've checked the database.php file, and
all appears to be correct. I have a GoDaddy basic account, so I cannot
create more than one user for each database. I only have one username and
password, and that username of course has full access of every type to the
database.

Note that during setup, this same username/password was used to *create* the
database tables. Everything appeared to be working perfectly until I tried
to use Xerte and it gave me that error message.

Blargh! :)

The username in database.php isn't allowed to access the database the
installer created

If you have cPanel check to see if the account you're using in database.php
has select,delete,insert and update privileges for that database.

I set the host, username, and password in the installation steps. The
installer was able to create the database in the proper place using this
information. So unless I'm really confused, that should mean that the host,
username, and password are all correct, and that the user has the
appropriate rights to the database??

The host and username are below. I'm omitting certain pieces of information
since I believe these list communications are publicly accessible.

Host: mtg1*7.db.8777228.hostedresource.com 
Username: mtg1*7
Password: ***** [my password that works when accessing the db via PHPMyAdmin
or ODBC connection]

LOL. Too true!! =)

Yes, I'm decent with PHP, but not expert, and I fear I've surpassed the
limits of my ability to scour the PHP for where the problem might lie.

i would suggest something like this

<?PHP

include "database.php";

$response = mysql_connect(settings from database.php);

print_r($response);

?>

Save that in a php file in the root directory

Hi,

The problem just may be that the mtg*7 username is only configured to work
from the local host rather than the "%" wildcard within mysql. This would
mean that it works fine when installing the software on the actual server,
but it will not work when the same user name is used from anywhere else. You
can check this and reset it in phpmyadmin, as far as I recall. If this
doesn't resolve the problem then it may be a firewall issue. I can't think
of anything else at present.

Kindest Regards,
Thomas

I set the host, username, and password in the installation steps. The
installer was able to create the database in the proper place using this
information. So unless I'm really confused, that should mean that the host,
username, and password are all correct, and that the user has the
appropriate rights to the database??

The host and username are below. I'm omitting certain pieces of information
since I believe these list communications are publicly accessible.

Host: mtg1*7.db.8777228.hostedresource.com
Username: mtg1*7
Password: ***** [my password that works when accessing the db via PHPMyAdmin

In your first message you have user@#.#.#.# as denied
In your second message it appears you have a URL, user, and password.

Sounds like the user grant might be to a host name, but your config file is
using the IP address.

Good Luck with it.

Best regards,

Bill Laakkonen

I came across a web page recently that listed a few organisations that offer hosting and consultancy for Xerte...but now I can't remember where I saw it and I need someone to host an e-learning package. (Fortunately I can still remember what I had for breakfast, so things aren't too bad)

Can anyone help?

Hey folks,

I know this has been mentioned a number of times before but I can't find a comprehensive list of the MIME types that need to be set in an IIS environment along with their type.

If someone could tell me these that'd be great.

i think the new installer has this set in it, somewhere.

Is there a page in the install guide with it in?

Hello,

You'll need to make sure PHP and MySQL are running.

If you run XAMPP Control Panel (found under "apache friends" ont he
start menu), does it show both running?

Thanks everyone for your help with this! It actually turned out that the
problem was a permissions setting with the database that GoDaddy had to
fix... I guess that's why all the searching for an issue on my end turned up
nothing! This is a recurring problem, I understand, with having a shared
hosting account.

I was able after that to complete the install of Xerte, but I do not have
LDAP, and I was wondering if there were instructions somewhere about how to
install without LDAP. This installation of Xerte will only be used by one or
two people, and using the same authentication, so I'm hoping to be able to
bypass LDAP.

Any help would be gratefully received! :)

i would suggest something like this

<?PHP

include "database.php";

$response = mysql_connect(settings from database.php);

print_r($response);

?>

Save that in a php file in the root directory

In the zip root folder is a file called switch.txt which you can
replace index.php with if you've not got LDAP.

Edit switch.txt and you'll see the passwords and such like.

I'm not sure it works at present, so try renaming switch.txt to index.php.

Yeah, I tried that, and was able to get past the login screen, but
everything comes up blank. (Once I log in, /xerte/index.php is blank.)

Sigh... I'm beginning to think the universe is working against me on this

In the zip root folder is a file called switch.txt which you can replace
index.php with if you've not got LDAP.

Edit switch.txt and you'll see the passwords and such like.

I'm not sure it works at present, so try renaming switch.txt to index.php.

The switch.txt in the zip doesn't work.

If you remove the include database.php line about halfway down it will work

Hi Colin,
 
I hope you found a solution for this, but if not you might try the
Unicode entities:
 
For < try \u003C
For > try \u003E
 
(I've been away from the list for a while, as I'm not doing eLearning

Hi - I'm using the 'slide-show' navigator page (XOT) and having a
problem with the less than/greater than characters (<>).
 
I've tried the < entity (which works on a plain text page) and various
escape methods but it just keeps treating it as code and not displaying
any text after that point in the text panel.
 
Hopefully someone has a solution, thanks,

Hi Colin, I hope you found a solution for this, but if not you might try the Unicode entities: For < try \u003CFor > try \u003E (I?ve been away from the list for a while, as I?m not doing eLearning anymore.)

Thanks, Dave!
 
My new gig may involve managing a Moodle LMS at some point this year,
and if that happens I plan to look into employing XOT, so I may become a
regular again ...

Hi - I'm using the 'slide-show' navigator page (XOT) and having a

I've tried the < entity (which works on a plain text page) and various

Hi All,
I am one of the quiet ones on this list and have wanted to use Xerte in my
Moodle2 site for some time now but have been put off by the coding issues
many of you have, BUT is there a managed site where I can try the XOT and
indeed I would have thought this could be a fee paying exercise in the long
term. Any idea?
Xerte is a great tool.

Not sure writing php is heroic, but no problem. 

If you have any guidance from the godaddy install you could share that's be appreciated

You can try XOT locally on a desktop pc / mac / Linux if it helps.

The install is relatively painless, but is not that simple on a shared host.

Hi Pat,
I am also having the exactly the same problem (see attached pic my old
version of XAMPP) I think it is the wrong version/build for my windows
program... Vista. Do you have to match up? There seems to be a few versions
around of XAMPP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated 
cheers

Hello,

You'll need to make sure PHP and MySQL are running.

If you run XAMPP Control Panel (found under "apache friends" ont he
start menu), does it show both running?

The problem here (seemed) to be that the folder wasn't called xertetoolkits

XOT will work with the most up to date version of XAMPP

Don't be put off. The trouble is, when you join the list for reporting issues and seeking technical help, it seems as though nothing ever works! There are many users we never ever hear from in here because things are running just fine...

Hi All,
I am one of the quiet ones on this list and have wanted to use Xerte in my
Moodle2 site for some time now but have been put off by the coding issues
many of you have, BUT is there a managed site where I can try the XOT and
indeed I would have thought this could be a fee paying exercise in the long
term. Any idea?
Xerte is a great tool.

in C\Programs* and made sure *SKYPE was off*. it seems to be working OK but
still cannot see PHP running in it.......this may be a dumb question but

I had a requirement at work for an IT Support learning object that was not
sequential. So I developed the routed page wizards - a number of page
wizards that defined pages that allowed the learning object author to
specify the ID of one or more destination pages. Thus the learning object
user could be presented with a series of options and the next page they saw
would depend on the option they selected.

The simpleNavigation model was developed to support the above project as I
wanted to offer only a Home button (taking you back to the start page) and
a Back button (that was based on a queue so that clicking back took you to
the last page you visited and not the previous page in the project
sequence).

Shortly after I completed the project I was made redundant so whilst I have
been active in the Xerte community I have not completed any more learning
objects other than a demonstration of page wizards project.

Sadly I cannot supply a copy of the complete IT Support project due to
copyright reasons, however there is a small sample of the project included
in the Page Wizard demonstration project that includes usage of the
simpleNavigation model. Please note that only a couple of the IT Support
project pages are shown so many of the options on the pages will generate
an error message, but the first link of the page can be followed. This
should demonstrate the use of the Home and Back buttons.

You can download the Page Wizard demonstration project from the Xerte wiki.
As a result of the recent remodelling of the wiki the Page Wizard page is
no longer listed but you can still access it. Open the Xerte wiki (see the
link on the Xerte site's community page) and then put "page wizard" in the
search box. The bottom entry in the results list should be "Page wizards",
click on this to go to the page wizards page. In the section headed "Using
Page Wizards" you will find a link to download the Xerte 2 Project that
demonstrates the use of Page Wizards.

If you have any specific questions regarding the use of the
simpleNavigation model then please feel free to post them and I will do my
best to answer your queries.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hello,

We're piloting Xerte at Cardiff. We've managed to get it up and running and integrated with our LDAP and have a few users building LOs with it.

We've hit the same youtube movie dimensions problem that have affected others on the list. I've grabbed to youtube.rlm and youtuberss.rlm with the fixes; unfortunately the problem has persisted. (There are now some extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the Youtube page but even if I set these youtube videos still sprawl off the page in the same way, eg slide 3 here https://xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/play.php?template_id=5).

Is there anything else I ought to have done to resolve this issue?

Clear you cache?

The latest models should fix it, as they position the youtube player off the screen until it's loaded properly.

Subject: [Xerte] page wizards - media - multiple perspectives
Message-ID: <00d501cccfcc$df380410$9da80c30$@kccsoft.com>

Johnathan - is there any plan to release the newer toolkits page types as
page wizards in the desktop version? 

 

I'm drooling over this 'media - multiple perspectives' page for desktop
(page 16 of 55 in the toolkits demo online).

Yes. Though piloting I also say!

So is registering with Xpert just a question of going here: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xpert/feedsubmit.php and submitting this: https://xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/syndicate.php? I think I already did this a while ago, but I'm not sure how to check...?

Also - what are the differences between the "RSS", export and syndication feeds?

RSS is just standard RSS
Export provides a link to the SCORM / Export downloads
Syndication has more metadata support

The intention is to make every page that is currently available in the
pageTemplates project template available as individual page templates in
Xerte 2.18. (I am not sure yet if the menu page will be included as the
model file is somewhat different in structure to all the rest of the
pages). So yes that should include the multiple perspectives page.

The work on modularisation will effectively replace Page Wizards by making
individual page templates available as an integral part of the desktop
version of Xerte.

Hopefully whilst this news may "ring your bell" it won't initiate any
further salivation :-)

Kind regards

Johnathan

Happy New Year to everyone!

Here at Edinburgh we are still having problems with the YouTube movie dimensions. As per Julian's suggestion we have replaced youtube.rlm with the new one Julian sent and clear the cashe, tried to use iframe embed code but none of them has worked. Are we missing out something? 

Tom mentions in a pevious email that "this is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger. SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works." In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out? 

Many thanks
Cuna

Hmm... 1.5 toolkits PageTemplates has an xwd that doesn't allow the 
setting of the size, but the new rlm should have worked regardless. As 
far as I know youtube.swf doesn't need replacing.

'None of them has worked', what does that mean? They do not work at all, 
or they are displayed too large??
In the first case, this is an entirely different problem not addressed 
by this fix and needs investigating.

If they display too large, that should have been fixed. What happens if 
you switch to full screen (using the magnifying glass icon)  and then back?

In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

When I try to import an LO into Xerte I get a gargantuan error message (I've tested this by exporting an object as a zip file and then reimporting that without unzipping/rezipping).

The error I get begins "PHP reports the following error" and there follows so much HTML the bottom of the alert box is not visible on screen. If I dismiss it with the return key, and refresh my workspace, the LO appears to have been imported after all.

Any ideas what's causing this and whether it is preventable?

Thanks,

Simon

Hi

 

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were
some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

 

Hi

 

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display
something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

 

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which
= 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

 

Thanks

Shirley

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.

Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

hmmm, that's return the entire page of HTML.....

Anyone else report this problem? i.e can replicate it

I think the page logic is

if **** in the returned text, then it's worked

else

It's an error, so display what was returned (in your case, the entire page).

Hi Tom,

Thanks for getting back! For some strange reason I haven't got your reply in my mail box. I've just found it when I visited the archive.

When we have replaced the .rlm and used the iframe embed code a blank video page was displayed. Then we went back to the old YouTube embed code. That way we manage to get the video displayed on the page although it runs off the page margins. It snaps back to full screen within the margins when the 'magnifying glass' button (showing up right in the middle of the screen) is clicked. Another click on the button takes it back to normal YouTube display size. I had to re arrange the pages by moving the text from the video page to another page and aligning the image to the left to be able to get a reasonable display (without half of the text showing behind the full size video display). 

Please see page 4 in this LO as an example at: http://datalib.edina.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=34

Hmm... 1.5 toolkits PageTemplates has an xwd that doesn't allow the 
setting of the size, but the new rlm should have worked regardless. As 
far as I know youtube.swf doesn't need replacing.

'None of them has worked', what does that mean? They do not work at all, 
or they are displayed too large??
In the first case, this is an entirely different problem not addressed 
by this fix and needs investigating.

If they display too large, that should have been fixed. What happens if 
you switch to full screen (using the magnifying glass icon)  and then back?

Happy New Year to everyone!

Here at Edinburgh we are still having problems with the YouTube movie dimensions. As per Julian's suggestion we have replaced youtube.rlm with the new one Julian sent and clear the cashe, tried to use iframe embed code but none of them has worked. Are we missing out something?

Tom mentions in a pevious email that "this is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger. SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works." In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

Many thanks
Cuna

You might want to download the latest zip and compare the dates of the files in

website_code/php/export/

with those on your server

I think that's the folder

I created a LO in Xerte techdis Sandpit and exported the content (but never published it as a Learning Object). I am now trying to import the content into a local installation of Xertes Online Toolkit. Are there any instructions for importing content (so I can continue to edit/ work on it) ? The content I exported is made up of multiple folders and files and I'm not sure which of these to import or how to import all of them if need be.

David,

Hello,
 
We're piloting Xerte at Cardiff. We've managed to get it up and running and
integrated with our LDAP and have a few users building LOs with it.
 
We've hit the same youtube movie dimensions problem that have affected
others on the list. I've grabbed to youtube.rlm and youtuberss.rlm with the
fixes; unfortunately the problem has persisted. (There are now some extra
options for video size, auto-start etc. on the Youtube page but even if I
set these youtube videos still sprawl off the page in the same way, eg slide
3 here https://xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/play.php?template_id=5).
 
Is there anything else I ought to have done to resolve this issue?

David,

We haven't replaced youtube.swf. Where can we get the new .swf file. I've looked at http://code.google.com/p/xerte/source/checkout but it gives error at the moment..

Happy New Year to everyone!

Here at Edinburgh we are still having problems with the YouTube movie dimensions. As per Julian's suggestion we have replaced youtube.rlm with the new one Julian sent and clear the cashe, tried to use iframe embed code but none of them has worked. Are we missing out something?

Tom mentions in a pevious email that "this is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger. SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works." In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

Many thanks
Cuna

Hello,

We're piloting Xerte at Cardiff. We've managed to get it up and running and
integrated with our LDAP and have a few users building LOs with it.

We've hit the same youtube movie dimensions problem that have affected
others on the list. I've grabbed to youtube.rlm and youtuberss.rlm with the
fixes; unfortunately the problem has persisted. (There are now some extra
options for video size, auto-start etc. on the Youtube page but even if I
set these youtube videos still sprawl off the page in the same way, eg slide
3 here https://xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/play.php?template_id=5).

Is there anything else I ought to have done to resolve this issue?

Simon

ok

somewhere in the folder structure is data.xml?

Can you highlight all the files and folders and then zip them?

Then try that

Regarding importing unpublished content that was previously in Sandpit, in my last entry I said that the sandpit export wasn't a zip file - sorry I was looking at the wrong file! I located the correct file and it seemed to import it as it appears in the folders list but when I try to edit it, I get the message 
'Cannot find that template; perhaps it has been deleted?'

I have tried importing in the way suggested but the sandpit export is a folder not a zip file so when I click import it just opens all the folders and sub-folders

I created a LO in Xerte techdis Sandpit and exported the content (but never published it as a Learning Object). I am now trying to import the content into a local installation of Xertes Online Toolkit. Are there any instructions for importing content (so I can continue to edit/ work on it) ? The content I exported is made up of multiple folders and files and I'm not sure which of these to import or how to import all of them if need be.

David,

We haven't replaced youtube.swf. Where can we get the new .swf file. I've looked at http://code.google.com/p/xerte/source/checkout but it gives error at the moment..

Happy New Year to everyone!

Here at Edinburgh we are still having problems with the YouTube movie dimensions. As per Julian's suggestion we have replaced youtube.rlm with the new one Julian sent and clear the cashe, tried to use iframe embed code but none of them has worked. Are we missing out something?

Tom mentions in a pevious email that "this is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger. SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works." In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

Many thanks
Cuna

Hello,

We're piloting Xerte at Cardiff. We've managed to get it up and running and
integrated with our LDAP and have a few users building LOs with it.

We've hit the same youtube movie dimensions problem that have affected
others on the list. I've grabbed to youtube.rlm and youtuberss.rlm with the
fixes; unfortunately the problem has persisted. (There are now some extra
options for video size, auto-start etc. on the Youtube page but even if I
set these youtube videos still sprawl off the page in the same way, eg slide
3 here https://xerte.cardiff.ac.uk/play.php?template_id=5).

Is there anything else I ought to have done to resolve this issue?

Simon

In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

>>> 
>>> Tom mentions in a pevious email that "this is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger. SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works." In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

>> Here at Edinburgh we are still having problems with the YouTube movie dimensions. As per Julian's suggestion we have replaced youtube.rlm with the new one Julian sent and clear the cashe, tried to use iframe embed code but none of them has worked. Are we missing out something?
>> 
>> Tom mentions in a pevious email that "this is (probably) caused by the fact that the default video size that youtube sends has been changed from 320x240 to something larger. SetSize is never called after initialisation, and Xerte assumes that the size should be 320x240. If you use one of the newer model where you can set the size, this works." In the version we are using there is no option to set the size. We have XOT version 1.5 installed on our server. Do you think installing the new version will sort this problem out?

The 2 installs (sandpit and your local) have to match identically.
The error message makes it sound like you have used a template on the sandpit which is not available in the local install.

See email about USER-FILES - I would imagine there is evidence in there.

The ID isn't exported, tis just a zip.

The deleted message isn't one i recognise, but someone might have
changed the message.

If you view index.html in your local copy of the LO do you see all your
content?
Did you perhaps export the LO from the sandpit without having clicked
publish?
If that's the problem then try the following:

Make a backup copy e.g. copy the whole folder from the extracted zip
delete template.xml
copy preview.xml and rename the copy template.xml
view index.htm doe that now show all your content?

If so zip up the contents of the folder (not including the original zip if
that's in the folder) and then try importing that

Regarding Dave's comment/question about identical templates - there are one
or two page types in the main template which you probably don't have in your
local install but I doubt you've used those page types and even so this
would only stop you editing those specific pages not the LO as a whole.

Finally how big is the zip - if not too big send to the list or send us a
link

I can't help you on errors but if you want to do a screengrab of something that stretches below the screen you can use FastStone Capture - it has a CaptureScrolling Window option.

Its also free and portable.

Contact me offlist if you want me to email you the zip file (about 1.3Mb)

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte upgrade and API
Message-ID: <FE14E5761A74974AB128ECA3E9934F49623238C79A@KUMBX.kuds.kingston.ac.uk>

All,

My Academic Development colleague has requested that I upgrade our Xerte Online Toolkits to the latest version as he says it will fix many bugs.

Unfortunately the upgrade isn't that straightforward as the database schema has changed between versions. I hit upon the idea that my colleague and the other users should export their modules from the old version and import them into the new. My colleague can do this for his learning objects but as regards the other users he is not so sure about.

What I require is either an API or a backend export program which would let me export all the learning objects from the back end and then re-import them into the new version. I have seen any documents describing how Xerte Online Toolkits is put together so although I have looked around the backend PHP code it seems non-trivial to write my own.

Has anyone either documented an API, written a backend export/import program, or any other suggestion on how to do the upgrade?

Kevin

There are two new tables in the database, but one does nothing unless you want it to, and the other is optional.

The ldap table facilitates multiple ldap hosts in a neater way before, but is only use if the sitedetails table lacks LDAP

The sessions table can be used if you want to, but the code that uses it is commented out by default (it is in config.php)

Code can be replaced and the database remains the same. You can ignore the new tables if you want.

Pat, is the users view in XOT created dynamically or is it in the db?
e.g. could you go to the server, rename the USERFILES folder, upgrade/reinstall,  then name it back?

You could hack a move by copying user-files but you'd lose the project name, shares, plays, status stuff

You could have some mangling with templatedetails and templaterights to help, but it'd be a bit nasty

There are two new tables in the database, but one does nothing unless you want it to, and the other is optional.
The ldap table facilitates multiple ldap hosts in a neater way before, but is only use if the sitedetails table lacks LDAP
The sessions table can be used if you want to, but the code that uses it is commented out by default (it is in config.php)
Code can be replaced and the database remains the same. You can ignore the new tables if you want.

That's a good start: the engine and wizard, and all the models and .xwd files, particularly the Nottingham template ones. That will fix all end-user bugs, and bring your templates up to date, and fixes probably 95% of all things that have ever been fixed.

If file size different then replace

Comparing the two folders

If file size different then replace

That would just about do it

Should people wait for 1.8?

I guess in this case it might be a whole lot easier to just determine  which individual files to replace that will "fix many bugs".
The engine swf?

You could hack a move by copying user-files but you'd lose the project name, shares, plays, status stuff

You could have some mangling with templatedetails and templaterights to help, but it'd be a bit nasty

There are two new tables in the database, but one does nothing unless you want it to, and the other is optional.

The ldap table facilitates multiple ldap hosts in a neater way before, but is only use if the sitedetails table lacks LDAP

The sessions table can be used if you want to, but the code that uses it is commented out by default (it is in config.php)

Code can be replaced and the database remains the same. You can ignore the new tables if you want.

All,

My Academic Development colleague has requested that I upgrade our Xerte Online Toolkits to the latest version as he says it will fix many bugs.

Unfortunately the upgrade isn?t that straightforward as the database schema has changed between versions. I hit upon the idea that my colleague and the other users should export their modules from the old version and import them into the new. My colleague can do this for his learning objects but as regards the other users he is not so sure about.

What I require is either an API or a backend export program which would let me export all the learning objects from the back end and then re-import them into the new version. I have seen any documents describing how Xerte Online Toolkits is put together so although I have looked around the backend PHP code it seems non-trivial to write my own.

Has anyone either documented an API, written a backend export/import program, or any other suggestion on how to do the upgrade?

Kevin

Message-ID: <C1FEFBBABA2D5D4F884ACAD6E32B2BB602E0FC@EXCHMBX10X05.unv.wlv.ac.uk>


I have had a little help from an IT person as I had a suspicion I might be following instructions incorrectly or misunderstanding.

Basically, the object I exported from Sandpit - I did press publish but it was NOT exported as a zip for some reason. (The object I was trying to import back into the Xerte Online toolkit was totally the wrong thing - I had been trying to import the toolkit installation file rather than the learning object!) So I have now identified the correct learning object (not a zip file). We converted it into a zip then tried to import it but this time got the error message 'upload checkFile transfer has failed *** Only Xerte templates are currently imported. '

IT person helped me to check and there is no template.xml within it.
She also suggested I tell you that I created the original sandpit LO on a Mac but as I couldn't put the Xerte online toolkit on my Mac I had to do it on my work PC then save the LO to a USB and transfer it over. Maybe this is relevant?

The file is too big to send by email but she has created this link so you can see what was in my original import from sandpit.

http://tinyurl.com/xerte-export-g-outterside

If it ends up that I can't import it, do you know where I could see the text files so I can see what I wrote to try and re-create? (Which I am trying to do as part of my SCORE short term fellowship)
Thanks
Gill

The 2 installs (sandpit and your local) have to match identically.
The error message makes it sound like you have used a template on the sandpit which is not available in the local install.

See email about USER-FILES - I would imagine there is evidence in there.

The ID isn't exported, tis just a zip.

The deleted message isn't one i recognise, but someone might have changed the message.

If you view index.html in your local copy of the LO do you see all your content?
Did you perhaps export the LO from the sandpit without having clicked publish?
If that's the problem then try the following:

Make a backup copy e.g. copy the whole folder from the extracted zip delete template.xml copy preview.xml and rename the copy template.xml view index.htm doe that now show all your content?

If so zip up the contents of the folder (not including the original zip if that's in the folder) and then try importing that

Regarding Dave's comment/question about identical templates - there are one or two page types in the main template which you probably don't have in your local install but I doubt you've used those page types and even so this would only stop you editing those specific pages not the LO as a whole.

Finally how big is the zip - if not too big send to the list or send us a link

Subject: [Xerte] Latex script - not working for me
Message-ID: <79091E80B28A9345A7BE4C2DA3228CA6F0D217@ASH.birkbeck.ac.uk>

Hi all,

We've a few learning objects that use latex script to show fractions
etc. They have worked in the past, after a bit of tweaking of
xmlengine.swf, but now don't again. They were produced in the standalone
version of Xerte, I've updated the xmlengine.swf to the one Julian sent
at 14:48 yesterday and still no joy.

See for instance p.5 of
http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/xerte/measurements1/
or the same one, uploaded into XOT
http://app1.its.bbk.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=227

Oddly, to me at least, that same object renders perfectly okay in Xerte
2.17 standalone, but not when seen in a web browser. Does anyone have a
suggestion, or some glue to put back the hair I'm tearing out?

Many thanks,

John
Birkbeck

I'm afraid there's definitely some confusion here :-(

That zip isn't anything that the sandpit would have exported - it looks like
a copy of the Xerte 3 application which is very much for specialist
developers only and not an online tool.

If you have successfully exported a learning object created on the Techdis
Xerte Online Toolkits Sandpit you should have a zip file somewhere like
your_learningObject_name.zip
If you can find that we can help.

Regards
Ron

Subject: [Xerte] Re: sandpit import


I have had a little help from an IT person as I had a suspicion I might be
following instructions incorrectly or misunderstanding.

Basically, the object I exported from Sandpit - I did press publish but it
was NOT exported as a zip for some reason. (The object I was trying to
import back into the Xerte Online toolkit was totally the wrong thing - I
had been trying to import the toolkit installation file rather than the
learning object!) So I have now identified the correct learning object (not
a zip file). We converted it into a zip then tried to import it but this
time got the error message 'upload checkFile transfer has failed *** Only
Xerte templates are currently imported. '

IT person helped me to check and there is no template.xml within it.
She also suggested I tell you that I created the original sandpit LO on a
Mac but as I couldn't put the Xerte online toolkit on my Mac I had to do it
on my work PC then save the LO to a USB and transfer it over. Maybe this is
relevant?

The file is too big to send by email but she has created this link so you
can see what was in my original import from sandpit.

http://tinyurl.com/xerte-export-g-outterside

If it ends up that I can't import it, do you know where I could see the text
files so I can see what I wrote to try and re-create? (Which I am trying to
do as part of my SCORE short term fellowship) Thanks Gill

The 2 installs (sandpit and your local) have to match identically.
The error message makes it sound like you have used a template on the
sandpit which is not available in the local install.

See email about USER-FILES - I would imagine there is evidence in there.

The ID isn't exported, tis just a zip.

The deleted message isn't one i recognise, but someone might have changed
the message.

If you view index.html in your local copy of the LO do you see all your
content?
Did you perhaps export the LO from the sandpit without having clicked
publish?
If that's the problem then try the following:

Make a backup copy e.g. copy the whole folder from the extracted zip delete
template.xml copy preview.xml and rename the copy template.xml view
index.htm doe that now show all your content?

If so zip up the contents of the folder (not including the original zip if
that's in the folder) and then try importing that

Regarding Dave's comment/question about identical templates - there are one
or two page types in the main template which you probably don't have in your
local install but I doubt you've used those page types and even so this
would only stop you editing those specific pages not the LO as a whole.

Finally how big is the zip - if not too big send to the list or send us a
link

Hi John
some nice LO's there - like the use of the tall thin images.

The latex isn't showing for me either - did the engine swf definitely get
replaced?

If you can provide a zip link I can import into another online space to test
although I'm just wondering and a question for Julian...

Does the latex code require access to php code in the toolkits install when
online? e.g. if exported and uploaded online outside of toolkits should it
still work or is it a data security issue requiring snoopy etc?

HTH
Ron

Subject: [Xerte] Latex script - not working for me

Hi all,

We've a few learning objects that use latex script to show fractions etc.
They have worked in the past, after a bit of tweaking of xmlengine.swf, but
now don't again. They were produced in the standalone version of Xerte, I've
updated the xmlengine.swf to the one Julian sent at 14:48 yesterday and
still no joy.

See for instance p.5 of
http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/xerte/measurements1/
or the same one, uploaded into XOT
http://app1.its.bbk.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=227

Oddly, to me at least, that same object renders perfectly okay in Xerte
2.17 standalone, but not when seen in a web browser. Does anyone have a
suggestion, or some glue to put back the hair I'm tearing out?

Many thanks,

John

I am most definitely not a specialist developer - quite the opposite!. That is what appeared when I exported from sandpit so I can only suggest I have drastically gone wrong somewhere and not exported it - so back to drawing board for me. Thank you very much for all the patient help.

I'm afraid there's definitely some confusion here :-(

That zip isn't anything that the sandpit would have exported - it looks like a copy of the Xerte 3 application which is very much for specialist developers only and not an online tool.

If you have successfully exported a learning object created on the Techdis Xerte Online Toolkits Sandpit you should have a zip file somewhere like your_learningObject_name.zip If you can find that we can help.

Regards
Ron

Subject: [Xerte] Re: sandpit import


I have had a little help from an IT person as I had a suspicion I might be following instructions incorrectly or misunderstanding.

Basically, the object I exported from Sandpit - I did press publish but it was NOT exported as a zip for some reason. (The object I was trying to import back into the Xerte Online toolkit was totally the wrong thing - I had been trying to import the toolkit installation file rather than the learning object!) So I have now identified the correct learning object (not a zip file). We converted it into a zip then tried to import it but this time got the error message 'upload checkFile transfer has failed *** Only Xerte templates are currently imported. '

IT person helped me to check and there is no template.xml within it.
She also suggested I tell you that I created the original sandpit LO on a Mac but as I couldn't put the Xerte online toolkit on my Mac I had to do it on my work PC then save the LO to a USB and transfer it over. Maybe this is relevant?

The file is too big to send by email but she has created this link so you can see what was in my original import from sandpit.

http://tinyurl.com/xerte-export-g-outterside

If it ends up that I can't import it, do you know where I could see the text files so I can see what I wrote to try and re-create? (Which I am trying to do as part of my SCORE short term fellowship) Thanks Gill

The 2 installs (sandpit and your local) have to match identically.
The error message makes it sound like you have used a template on the sandpit which is not available in the local install.

See email about USER-FILES - I would imagine there is evidence in there.

The ID isn't exported, tis just a zip.

The deleted message isn't one i recognise, but someone might have changed the message.

If you view index.html in your local copy of the LO do you see all your content?
Did you perhaps export the LO from the sandpit without having clicked publish?
If that's the problem then try the following:

Make a backup copy e.g. copy the whole folder from the extracted zip delete template.xml copy preview.xml and rename the copy template.xml view index.htm doe that now show all your content?

If so zip up the contents of the folder (not including the original zip if that's in the folder) and then try importing that

Regarding Dave's comment/question about identical templates - there are one or two page types in the main template which you probably don't have in your local install but I doubt you've used those page types and even so this would only stop you editing those specific pages not the LO as a whole.

Finally how big is the zip - if not too big send to the list or send us a link

Ok sorry we haven't been able to resolve your problem but one thing is 100%
certain...

The contents of the link you sent in your previous message e.g.
http://tinyurl.com/xerte-export-g-outterside is not and could not possibly
have been what you exported from the sandpit.

For future reference you might find this particular screencast useful

I am most definitely not a specialist developer - quite the opposite!. That
is what appeared when I exported from sandpit so I can only suggest I have
drastically gone wrong somewhere and not exported it - so back to drawing
board for me. Thank you very much for all the patient help.

Hi all,

We've a few learning objects that use latex script to show fractions etc.
They have worked in the past, after a bit of tweaking of xmlengine.swf, but
now don't again. They were produced in the standalone version of Xerte, I've
updated the xmlengine.swf to the one Julian sent at 14:48 yesterday and
still no joy.

See for instance p.5 of
http://www.bbk.ac.uk/mybirkbeck/xerte/measurements1/
or the same one, uploaded into XOT
http://app1.its.bbk.ac.uk/xerte/play.php?template_id=227

Oddly, to me at least, that same object renders perfectly okay in Xerte
2.17 standalone, but not when seen in a web browser. Does anyone have a
suggestion, or some glue to put back the hair I'm tearing out?

Many thanks,

John
Birkbeck

I'm afraid there's definitely some confusion here :-(

That zip isn't anything that the sandpit would have exported - it looks like
a copy of the Xerte 3 application which is very much for specialist
developers only and not an online tool.

If you have successfully exported a learning object created on the Techdis
Xerte Online Toolkits Sandpit you should have a zip file somewhere like
your_learningObject_name.zip If you can find that we can help.

Regards
Ron

Subject: [Xerte] Re: sandpit import


I have had a little help from an IT person as I had a suspicion I might be
following instructions incorrectly or misunderstanding.

Basically, the object I exported from Sandpit - I did press publish but it
was NOT exported as a zip for some reason. (The object I was trying to
import back into the Xerte Online toolkit was totally the wrong thing - I
had been trying to import the toolkit installation file rather than the
learning object!) So I have now identified the correct learning object (not
a zip file). We converted it into a zip then tried to import it but this
time got the error message 'upload checkFile transfer has failed *** Only
Xerte templates are currently imported. '

IT person helped me to check and there is no template.xml within it.
She also suggested I tell you that I created the original sandpit LO on a
Mac but as I couldn't put the Xerte online toolkit on my Mac I had to do it
on my work PC then save the LO to a USB and transfer it over. Maybe this is
relevant?

The file is too big to send by email but she has created this link so you
can see what was in my original import from sandpit.

http://tinyurl.com/xerte-export-g-outterside

If it ends up that I can't import it, do you know where I could see the text
files so I can see what I wrote to try and re-create? (Which I am trying to
do as part of my SCORE short term fellowship) Thanks Gill

The 2 installs (sandpit and your local) have to match identically.
The error message makes it sound like you have used a template on the
sandpit which is not available in the local install.

See email about USER-FILES - I would imagine there is evidence in there.

The ID isn't exported, tis just a zip.

The deleted message isn't one i recognise, but someone might have changed
the message.

If you view index.html in your local copy of the LO do you see all your
content?
Did you perhaps export the LO from the sandpit without having clicked
publish?
If that's the problem then try the following:

Make a backup copy e.g. copy the whole folder from the extracted zip delete
template.xml copy preview.xml and rename the copy template.xml view
index.htm doe that now show all your content?

If so zip up the contents of the folder (not including the original zip if
that's in the folder) and then try importing that

Regarding Dave's comment/question about identical templates - there are one
or two page types in the main template which you probably don't have in your
local install but I doubt you've used those page types and even so this
would only stop you editing those specific pages not the LO as a whole.

Finally how big is the zip - if not too big send to the list or send us a
link

Hi Julian

I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the
latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and
so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined
lists in each of the interface menu items.

Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

HTH

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.


Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

Subject: [Xerte] Maths superscript in xerte

 

Hi

 

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some
problems that others had, has this been resolved?

 

Hi

 

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display
something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

 

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30
cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

 

Thanks

Shirley

Hello,

Is your project still on the sandox?

Then we could re export it?

It might also be in your browser's cache (and we can get it back from that).

You need the latest preloader as well, and the languages folder.

Hi Julian
I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined lists in each of the interface menu items.
Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.

Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

Hi

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

Hi

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

Thanks
Shirley

Subject: [Xerte] JMOL viewer
Message-ID: <CABtG3=WvNE8vofyUV4o4cVL006uKhKvpruOUB6xjKGqRtVZfVQ@mail.gmail.com>

I am trying to test the JMOL viewer and have tried both the page templates
project template JMOL viewer page and a new individual page template
version.

I get the same result with both versions of the page.

If I preview the page in Xerte then the project freezes without displaying
the molecule. Closing the preview and re-previewing results in a loading
xml message and the preview goes no further. This is only resolved by
closing and re-opening Xerte.

If I publish the project and view it in internet explorer the project no
longer locks up so I can navigate backwards and forwards between the pages.
However the only thing that displays on the JMOL viewer page is the text.

I have tried it with two different xyz files, one of which was the
caffeine.xyz file kindly supplied by Fay Cross.

Does the JMOL viewer page need a plugin in the browser?

Is there something I have missed?

Or is there a known problem with the page (that I don't know about)?

Kind regards

Johnathan

As far as I can tell, it will never work in Xerte desktop, the 
JMolviewer java applet is not installed. I only found it in XOT.
We could try to get it to work, but than we would have to install the 
applet in common, and make sure it tries to fire up that version when in 
a desktop environment.

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?
Message-ID: <F0AEBF37A5C5AB4A852BCBA19A91325009DD5B@HEAEXCHMBX01.HEAcademy.ac.uk>

This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.

[cid:image001.png at 01CCD2D8.98ED01E0]


However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.
[cid:image002.png at 01CCD2D9.13119F80]


Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?










This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I?d carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated
 and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.

 

 
 
However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.

 
 
Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn?t help the dozens of LOs that used to
 look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully received!

PNG is lossless compression isn't it?
Maybe it scales better due to the different compression algorithm?

If you upload a smaller jpeg (so no xerte scaling) and the same file as a
PNG, do they look the same?

Nice ITCZ by the way.

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses
Yes these shots are all on same laptop - it appears to be a new problem.
The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first spotted it on yesterday is at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC on that slide?

I fixed the file sizes to be small enough to fit the Xerte stage in the first place so I don't think it's shrinking that's doing the damage. And my understanding is that Xerte doesn't autoexpand images if they are smaller than the stage. I'll try a small file upload as you suggest though and see what happens.

This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc).

Hi Dave / Pat ? thanks for quick responses
Yes these shots are all on same laptop ? it appears to be a new problem.

The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I?d be interested if it looks different on other people?s PCs ? for example the LO I first spotted
 it on yesterday is at 
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show navigator. Slide 4 on page
 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become blurry. It wasn?t always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC on that slide?

Sorry, those are both on the same screen aren't they.

 


How about Flash version then?


I'm just wondering if they way Flash handles the rendering.


Same effect on a different machine?

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?

This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I?d carefully crafted to be
 crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.

 

 
 
However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the
 quality is indistinguishable.

 
 
Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra
 work layer and It doesn?t help the dozens of LOs that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hmmm - here's the test I did for Pat:
First 2 slides of http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_82 show significant quality difference yet the image below shows they are virtually identical in their raw form.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits
(which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking
the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

The size of the space in that particular XOT template appears to be 360 ish px. The images I used were about 300. If Xerte is stretching them then something has changed in the way the template is working.

I'll check this line of reasoning by reproducing them at 360 px and uploading them again.

Thanks

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits (which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses
Yes these shots are all on same laptop - it appears to be a new problem.
The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first spotted it on yesterday is at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC on that slide?

Sorry, those are both on the same screen aren't they.

How about Flash version then?
I'm just wondering if they way Flash handles the rendering.
Same effect on a different machine?

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?
This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.

[cid:image003.png at 01CCD2E0.ABFA32F0]


However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.
[cid:image004.png at 01CCD2E0.ABFA32F0]


Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully received!

A final version with 3 pairs of images (jpg v png) at  sizes 300, 360 and 550 respectively. In all cases jpgs show significant degradation. PNGs only show degradation at the 550 px point where they are being shrunk from 550 to 470 to fit the space.

In the short term I'll stop using jpegs in favour of pngs and gifs but in the long term I'd be really interested to know why jpegs fare so badly. They will be the format of choice for a lot of less technically inclined users so if it ispossible to determine whether the code has changed and if so to change it back I'd be very grateful.

That's all the excitement needed for one weekend - I'm signing out now!

All the best and thanks for the rapid responses Dave and Pat.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits (which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses
Yes these shots are all on same laptop - it appears to be a new problem.
The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first spotted it on yesterday is at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC on that slide?

Sorry, those are both on the same screen aren't they.

How about Flash version then?
I'm just wondering if they way Flash handles the rendering.
Same effect on a different machine?

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?
This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.

[cid:image003.png at 01CCD2E2.FA720500]


However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.
[cid:image004.png at 01CCD2E2.FA720500]


Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully received!

Hi Alistair

This is all quite predictable and not a server or flash player issue - just
a simple fact of viewing raster images at different to actual size. Your LO
is set to full screen try switching to default so it's 800 x 600 and you'll
see that some pages look better at that size and others look better at full
screen? 

 

It wouldn't help with all your images but for the example here what about
using the Charts > Table page type e.g.
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_85

A final version with 3 pairs of images (jpg v png) at  sizes 300, 360 and
550 respectively. In all cases jpgs show significant degradation. PNGs only
show degradation at the 550 px point where they are being shrunk from 550 to
470 to fit the space.

 

In the short term I'll stop using jpegs in favour of pngs and gifs but in
the long term I'd be really interested to know why jpegs fare so badly. They
will be the format of choice for a lot of less technically inclined users so
if it ispossible to determine whether the code has changed and if so to
change it back I'd be very grateful. 

 

That's all the excitement needed for one weekend - I'm signing out now!

 

All the best and thanks for the rapid responses Dave and Pat.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits
(which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking
the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

 

The originals are fine.

 

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses

Yes these shots are all on same laptop - it appears to be a new problem. 

The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if
it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first
spotted it on yesterday is at 

http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show
navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the
original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become
blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC
on that slide?

Sorry, those are both on the same screen aren't they.

 

How about Flash version then?

I'm just wondering if they way Flash handles the rendering.

Same effect on a different machine?

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?

This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some
colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd
carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were
looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save
a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals
I uploaded are much higher quality. 

 



 

 

However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as
before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the
top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.



 

 

Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is
this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs
but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs
that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully
received!

I think you notice it on these pictures as JPEGs don't handle lines very
well.

Usually the internet rule is when using text, use a GIF as gifs don't
pixelate lines like a jpg does.

When given big blocks of colour, like on a photo, jpgs are fine

Subject: [Xerte] Accessing an array from a flash menu
Message-ID: <001701ccd33d$1bbabb30$53303190$@kccsoft.com>

Desktop xerte - I have a flash menu inserted in the flowline (ID = 'menu').
The Flash menu has an array called 'PMNames'.

 

Anyone know how can I access the data in that array? I need to pass values
back and forth into this array as xerte modules are completed and have them
show up on the menu.

 

I can't seem to find the correct path that lets me 'debug' the array values
- it just shows as 'undefined'. What am I missing?

Quick update
Thanks very much all for the further advice and help.

I might have confused things a bit by using table image examples - these weren't the actual images I was trying to get in the LO, I just knew that they would demonstrate the issue best.

For my own purposes it's reasonably simple to swap jpgs for gifs or pngs but I might need to look at adding some guidance for tutors on choosing the best image format and having different free tools to swap from one to the other as required. Whilst the basic gif v jpg guidance is straightforward enough to understand there are often images (like logos with graduated colour swatches) that don't neatly fall into one category or the other. Maybe 'if in doubt use png' is the best rule of thumb.

I think you notice it on these pictures as JPEGs don't handle lines very well.

Usually the internet rule is when using text, use a GIF as gifs don't pixelate lines like a jpg does.

When given big blocks of colour, like on a photo, jpgs are fine

Hi Alistair
This is all quite predictable and not a server or flash player issue - just a simple fact of viewing raster images at different to actual size. Your LO is set to full screen try switching to default so it's 800 x 600 and you'll see that some pages look better at that size and others look better at full screen?

It wouldn't help with all your images but for the example here what about using the Charts > Table page type e.g. http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_85

A final version with 3 pairs of images (jpg v png) at  sizes 300, 360 and 550 respectively. In all cases jpgs show significant degradation. PNGs only show degradation at the 550 px point where they are being shrunk from 550 to 470 to fit the space.

In the short term I'll stop using jpegs in favour of pngs and gifs but in the long term I'd be really interested to know why jpegs fare so badly. They will be the format of choice for a lot of less technically inclined users so if it ispossible to determine whether the code has changed and if so to change it back I'd be very grateful.

That's all the excitement needed for one weekend - I'm signing out now!

All the best and thanks for the rapid responses Dave and Pat.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits (which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses
Yes these shots are all on same laptop - it appears to be a new problem.
The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first spotted it on yesterday is at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC on that slide?

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?
This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.

[cid:image003.png at 01CCD35E.A2A8A690]


However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.
[cid:image004.png at 01CCD35E.A2A8A690]


Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully received!

You could imagine using php to convert some pictures to gif, but gif tops out at 256 colours.

Maybe the preview image button should scale to the size of the swf if in web mode and then say "if blurred consider...."?

Whilst the basic gif v jpg guidance is straightforward enough to understand there are often images (like logos with graduated colour swatches) that don?t neatly fall into one category or the other. Maybe ?if in doubt use png? is the best rule of thumb.

OK - thanks. I'll experiment with the clip() trick.

 

I have xerte reading the array data as built in the Flash file:

 

In Flash file:

_level0.engine.PMNames = new Array();

_level0.engine.PMNames[0] = "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz";     //etc.

 

I notice that I have to use '_level0' not '_root' or 'rootIcon' in Flash,
but in xerte either works in debug:

 

debug(_level0.engine.PMNames);

is the same as

debug(rootIcon.engine.PMNames);

 

I assume what I'm doing here is building an array at the 'rooticon' level
that will persist throughout the application? At least that's my intent.

 

Any clear definition anywhere of what exactly '_level0' and 'engine' are? I
notice in some scripts 'engine.engine' is used.but in testing I seem to be
able to use either one or many 'engine' statements strung together with no
difference in the ouput. 

 

I just succeeded in passing data from xerte back to the SWF file.onward and
upwards (and bit sideways).

 

Thanks for the help!!

PNG is lossless compression isn't it?
Maybe it scales better due to the different compression algorithm?

If you upload a smaller jpeg (so no xerte scaling) and the same file as a PNG, do they look the same?

Nice ITCZ by the way.

This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals I uploaded are much higher quality.



[cid:image001.png at 01CCD432.955CC500]





However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.

[cid:image002.png at 01CCD432.955CC500]





Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy.

The best would be swf, but most people don't have vector images, or tools to make swfs. Vectors will scale with no loss of quality.
Then .png, which is a kind of hybrid vector / raster format, but performs pretty well.
After that the issues become more difficult: if you use a jpg or a gif, and allow the user any control over the final size, there are going to be issues.

Quick update
Thanks very much all for the further advice and help.

I might have confused things a bit by using table image examples - these weren't the actual images I was trying to get in the LO, I just knew that they would demonstrate the issue best.

For my own purposes it's reasonably simple to swap jpgs for gifs or pngs but I might need to look at adding some guidance for tutors on choosing the best image format and having different free tools to swap from one to the other as required. Whilst the basic gif v jpg guidance is straightforward enough to understand there are often images (like logos with graduated colour swatches) that don't neatly fall into one category or the other. Maybe 'if in doubt use png' is the best rule of thumb.

I think you notice it on these pictures as JPEGs don't handle lines very well.

Usually the internet rule is when using text, use a GIF as gifs don't pixelate lines like a jpg does.

When given big blocks of colour, like on a photo, jpgs are fine

Hi Alistair
This is all quite predictable and not a server or flash player issue - just a simple fact of viewing raster images at different to actual size. Your LO is set to full screen try switching to default so it's 800 x 600 and you'll see that some pages look better at that size and others look better at full screen?

It wouldn't help with all your images but for the example here what about using the Charts > Table page type e.g. http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_85

A final version with 3 pairs of images (jpg v png) at  sizes 300, 360 and 550 respectively. In all cases jpgs show significant degradation. PNGs only show degradation at the 550 px point where they are being shrunk from 550 to 470 to fit the space.

In the short term I'll stop using jpegs in favour of pngs and gifs but in the long term I'd be really interested to know why jpegs fare so badly. They will be the format of choice for a lot of less technically inclined users so if it ispossible to determine whether the code has changed and if so to change it back I'd be very grateful.

That's all the excitement needed for one weekend - I'm signing out now!

All the best and thanks for the rapid responses Dave and Pat.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits (which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses
Yes these shots are all on same laptop - it appears to be a new problem.
The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first spotted it on yesterday is at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC on that slide?

Hi everyone
Most of you are familiar with the free online XerteFriday training sessions on the last Friday of the month. This year's schedule is now available on the JISC TechDis website - go to www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte<http://www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte> and follow the link at the bottom to the Xertefriday 2012 schedule. There are some new pages too on using Xerte with specific learner needs - dyslexia is the first one we've tackled but more are on the way  - follow the links.

Hope to see many of you on Friday 27th January where we'll cover "Designing for interactivity with Xerte" - a chance to see some of the templates you may not yet have tried and also to swap ideas and recommendations with others.

Do you have a nice Xerte learning object you've designed for learners? Have your learners created anything exciting that you'd like to show us - contact alistair at techdis.ac.uk<mailto:alistair at techdis.ac.uk> if you've got anything you'd like us to showcase on 27th

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5
Message-ID: <4F144F1B.1060707@bath.ac.uk>

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as 
a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not 
playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted 
last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T 
suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. 
We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it 
failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this 
list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the 
community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering 
whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what 
are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already 
created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps 
that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

I highly recommend the developer subscribes, asks the questions he has, get the answers he needs, and then un-subscribes. There be dragons in Chinese whispers.

The codebase from XOT 1.5 should be replaceable with the codebase from
XOT 1.7 as a drag and drop.

They really aren't that different bar the two databases changes which
you can ignore.

There isn't a limit, it just often runs out of time, and / or memory.

So there is a limit, but it's PHP's limit, not XOT's

Hi 

I also have problems with a Xerte object I created last year, using latex to display math formulae. The formulae are no longer displaying. 

I created the object in the sandpit, export it and import the compressed file into Blackboard. Now the formulae are not visible in the Xerte object in Blackboard. Having re-imported it into the sandpit, the formulae are not displaying in the sandpit either. 

If there is a way to display the latex formulae in the Xerte object, could you please let me know. 

Many thanks, Alex Ott.

Hi Julian
I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined lists in each of the interface menu items.
Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

Hi

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

Hi

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

Thanks

Hello,

The Link for the latex generator has changed.

Try downloading Xerte from www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte (possibly the
desktop) and replacing XmlEngine.swf in your object with one from the
download.

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:

Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.


With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank 
white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a 
screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Yes - although we (as in the DfLL at Bath) only have one YouTube video 
embedded in our Xerte LOs, others who are using our installation are 
reporting the same issue:

Hi Julian,

what is the current state of affairs with using YouTube in Xerte.

I always found it a little fiddly, but got it working in the end, but at 
the moment, it doesn't seem to be working for me at all.  I get the 
player, but the video just doesn't load.

<http://multimedia.bath.ac.uk/xerte/preview.php?template_id=190>http://multimedia.bath.ac.uk/xerte/preview.php?template_id=190  
Slide 4

Is this an issue to do with the Xerte installation, or should I just 
continue to play with the code?

cheers

Have you tried what Pat suggested, and:

- backed up your existing installation;
- unzipped the current zip file over the top of the existing files?

You can always go back to your old files that way.

If this is a trial with few users, then you could always start of with a clean install somewhere else, and migrate any content worth migrating over to the new install.

Yes - although we (as in the DfLL at Bath) only have one YouTube video embedded in our Xerte LOs, others who are using our installation are reporting the same issue:

Hi Julian,

what is the current state of affairs with using YouTube in Xerte.

I always found it a little fiddly, but got it working in the end, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to be working for me at all.  I get the player, but the video just doesn't load.

http://multimedia.bath.ac.uk/xerte/preview.php?template_id=190  Slide 4

Is this an issue to do with the Xerte installation, or should I just continue to play with the code?

cheers

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:



Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

I highly recommend the developer subscribes, asks the questions he has, get the answers he needs, and then un-subscribes. There be dragons in Chinese whispers.

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:
Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

I highly recommend the developer subscribes, asks the questions he has, get the answers he needs, and then un-subscribes. There be dragons in Chinese whispers.

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

If it is a problem with projects displaying, I would rename modules/xerte
modules/xerte_old and then dump the new one from the zip in instead

Hi all
I picked this up from teacher list but it more properly belongs in here so any ideas? I'll ask Oli to ensure he's subscribed in here to pick up the answers.

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

Hi

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying "ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM + metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no further.

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it seems the sandpit is not happy either...

Any suggestions?

Oli

I don't recognise that error message on the play page, so not sure
what version of the code they are using (and sadly no idea why an
export wouldn't work)

Alistair, thanks for reminding me.  I posted the following some time ago and
only got one blunt reply, 

 

"Sirs,

 

I've been trying for several days to learn more of Xerte.  I have followed
the demos on your site and signed up to the list but so far have not had a
reply.

 

I want to explore the Xerte toolkit with the hope of developing materials
for mainstream education.

 

I was so impressed with the blurb about Xerte so have tried to install on a
local PC.  Everything appears to download and extract, but when I follow the
instruction as below:

 

"In a web browser, go to : http://localhost/xertetoolkits/setup/ and click
on the for XAMPP people button."

 

I get the error message, 'Page not found'.  Should I have configured
something for 'localhost'?  Will any such configuration disrupt the normal
functioning of my PC?

 

I am reasonably confident in html but do not know php etc.

 

Am I missing something obvious or is this tool not as easy as the blurb
suggests?

 

Regards,

Hi all

I picked this up from teacher list but it more properly belongs in here so
any ideas? I'll ask Oli to ensure he's subscribed in here to pick up the

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

 

Hi

 

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs
I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few
problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

 

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any
problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but
when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying
"ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

 

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that
works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM +
metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the
login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

 

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import
the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer
has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no
further.

 

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it
seems the sandpit is not happy either...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Oli

Hello

For localhost to work on a PC you'll need to have installed XAMPP as well.
Then add the XOT zip to c:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits

You can run XAMPP on a PC without it affecting it, but

1) It turns your PC Into a mini web server
2) It runs as a process in the background so takes up CPU and Memory

Hi Ray
As a non-technical person myself I'd make the distinction that Toolkits IS easy to use for people with very modest technical skills but installing it requires someone with more advanced technical skills - as indeed would be expected with any server based installation.
The way to learn more as an end user is probably to play on the JISC TechDis sandpit at www.techdisplayxerte.info<http://www.techdisplayxerte.info> and once you are confident it is the tool for you then get your  technical manager person to install it, using this list for backup.

Alistair

Alistair, thanks for reminding me.  I posted the following some time ago and only got one blunt reply,

"Sirs,

I've been trying for several days to learn more of Xerte.  I have followed the demos on your site and signed up to the list but so far have not had a reply.

I want to explore the Xerte toolkit with the hope of developing materials for mainstream education.

I was so impressed with the blurb about Xerte so have tried to install on a local PC.  Everything appears to download and extract, but when I follow the instruction as below:

"In a web browser, go to : http://localhost/xertetoolkits/setup/ and click on the for XAMPP people button."

I get the error message, 'Page not found'.  Should I have configured something for 'localhost'?  Will any such configuration disrupt the normal functioning of my PC?

I am reasonably confident in html but do not know php etc.

Am I missing something obvious or is this tool not as easy as the blurb suggests?

Hello Pat,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, as a quick fix this does not seem to have worked. I downloaded the Xerte toolkit, extracted the files and in my learning object, I replaced the XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf, and added the language folder; but the formulae is still not displaying. Would it help if I installed Xerte 3.0 and imported and exported the learning object from this?

Thanks, Alex.

Hi

I also have problems with a Xerte object I created last year, using latex to display math formulae. The formulae are no longer displaying.

I created the object in the sandpit, export it and import the compressed file into Blackboard. Now the formulae are not visible in the Xerte object in Blackboard. Having re-imported it into the sandpit, the formulae are not displaying in the sandpit either.

If there is a way to display the latex formulae in the Xerte object, could you please let me know.

Many thanks, Alex Ott.

Hi Julian
I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined lists in each of the interface menu items.
Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.

Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

Hi

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

Hi

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

Thanks

Hello,

The Link for the latex generator has changed.

Try downloading Xerte from www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte (possibly the
desktop) and replacing XmlEngine.swf in your object with one from the
download.

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:

Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.


With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank
white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a
screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

Hello Pat,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, as a quick fix this does not seem to have worked. I downloaded the Xerte toolkit, extracted the files and in my learning object, I replaced the XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf, and added the language folder; but the formulae is still not displaying. Would it help if I installed Xerte 3.0 and imported and exported the learning object from this?

Thanks, Alex.

Hi

I also have problems with a Xerte object I created last year, using latex to display math formulae. The formulae are no longer displaying.

I created the object in the sandpit, export it and import the compressed file into Blackboard. Now the formulae are not visible in the Xerte object in Blackboard. Having re-imported it into the sandpit, the formulae are not displaying in the sandpit either.

If there is a way to display the latex formulae in the Xerte object, could you please let me know.

Many thanks, Alex Ott.

You need the latest preloader as well, and the languages folder.

Hi Julian
I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined lists in each of the interface menu items.
Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.

Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

Hi

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

Hi

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

Hello,

The Link for the latex generator has changed.

Try downloading Xerte from www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte (possibly the
desktop) and replacing XmlEngine.swf in your object with one from the
download.

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:

Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.


With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank
white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a
screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

Hello Pat,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, as a quick fix this does not seem to have worked. I downloaded the Xerte toolkit, extracted the files and in my learning object, I replaced the XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf, and added the language folder; but the formulae is still not displaying. Would it help if I installed Xerte 3.0 and imported and exported the learning object from this?

Thanks, Alex.

Hi

I also have problems with a Xerte object I created last year, using latex to display math formulae. The formulae are no longer displaying.

I created the object in the sandpit, export it and import the compressed file into Blackboard. Now the formulae are not visible in the Xerte object in Blackboard. Having re-imported it into the sandpit, the formulae are not displaying in the sandpit either.

If there is a way to display the latex formulae in the Xerte object, could you please let me know.

Many thanks, Alex Ott.

You need the latest preloader as well, and the languages folder.

Hi Julian
I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined lists in each of the interface menu items.
Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.

Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

Hi

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

Hi

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

Thanks

Hello,

The Link for the latex generator has changed.

Try downloading Xerte from www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte (possibly the
desktop) and replacing XmlEngine.swf in your object with one from the
download.

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:

Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.


With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank
white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a
screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

The sandpit doesn't appear to know how to perform a ZIP (Local) export - the hyperlink the page contains is empty; hence you end up seeing the "login" page.

(underneath the website_code/php/url_library.php file doesn't know how to handle scorm_rich or export_local URLs and so on).

I downloaded the Xerte toolkit, extracted the files and in my learning object, I replaced the XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf, and added the language folder; but the formulae is still not displaying. Would it help if I installed Xerte 3.0 and imported and exported the learning object from this?

This is all going to get confusing with some of the subsequent replies
hijacking the subject line for an unrelated topic.

Not sure if Oli has subscribed here yet either but I would comment/add as
follows:

 

1. As David has said in a subsequent reply the sandpit doesn't currently
work with the Zip local option or scrom + metadata export. That will be
fixed in future and is specific to the sandpit but in a way irrelevant at
the moment.

 

2. The normal Zip export and Scorm export work fine on the sandpit and
import back into the sandpit ok too.

 

3. Oli my 1st suggestion would be for you to create a new test LO on your
new installation. Publish and export that. Then try to import that back into
the same installation. Does that work without the same errors? If it doesn't
then you need to resolve the issue with your installation and this is
separate from any issues with the sandpit.

 

4. If step 3. did work send a copy or link of the zip you exported from the
sandpit so we can test and provide further help.

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

 

Hi

 

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs
I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few
problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

 

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any
problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but
when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying
"ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

 

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that
works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM +
metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the
login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

 

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import
the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer
has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no
further.

 

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it
seems the sandpit is not happy either...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Oli

Hello Pat,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, as a quick fix this does not seem to have worked. I downloaded the Xerte toolkit, extracted the files and in my learning object, I replaced the XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf, and added the language folder; but the formulae is still not displaying. Would it help if I installed Xerte 3.0 and imported and exported the learning object from this?

Thanks, Alex.

Hi

I also have problems with a Xerte object I created last year, using latex to display math formulae. The formulae are no longer displaying.

I created the object in the sandpit, export it and import the compressed file into Blackboard. Now the formulae are not visible in the Xerte object in Blackboard. Having re-imported it into the sandpit, the formulae are not displaying in the sandpit either.

If there is a way to display the latex formulae in the Xerte object, could you please let me know.

Many thanks, Alex Ott.

Hi Julian
I just tested the xmlengine.swf you attached and t does indeed display the latex but it's clearly also got some of the language developments in it and so if that's all that's update in a toolkits install there are the undefined lists in each of the interface menu items.
Is there an engine which has the new latex code but not the language code?

Yes, you need to update your XMLEngine.swf. It's attached.

Then you can use latex and do <tex src="30cm^2">

I posted this message below, back in December, and I know there were some problems that others had, has this been resolved?

Hi

Is it possible to insert maths equations in Xerte, I want to display something similar to below but the 30cm2 displays as 30cm2

We work out the area of the grey rectangle by multiplying 3 by 10 which = 30 cm this is written as 30cm2 or 30 cm Squared

Thanks

Hello,

The Link for the latex generator has changed.

Try downloading Xerte from www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte (possibly the
desktop) and replacing XmlEngine.swf in your object with one from the
download.

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:

Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.


With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank
white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a
screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

I get that too, but our company has software (WebSense) that blocks
access to YouTube, Twitter, FaceBook and other social media sites (plus
naughty sites). Could you have something like that in place? Are you
able to go to YouTube's website and view videos from there?

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as
a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not
playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted
last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T
suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation.
We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it
failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this
list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the
community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering
whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what
are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already
created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps
that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

Hi

First of all, my apologies for any confusion caused by posting to the wrong list. I'm new in this post, new to XOT, new to how these support lists work and I think I have been mixing up two or more XOT problems into the same email help request. So thanks for all the help so far and for bearing with me! 

Secondly, despite the subject line of this email (which I have kept only for the sake of continuity!) I don't know if there is and export issue at all but there's obviously an issue with our new installation of XOT: I've made a test LO but when I try to play it I get this message: "ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

I don't have access to the server files myself but will pass on any advice received to those that do.

Many thanks

Oli

This is all going to get confusing with some of the subsequent replies hijacking the subject line for an unrelated topic.

Not sure if Oli has subscribed here yet either but I would comment/add as
follows:

 

1. As David has said in a subsequent reply the sandpit doesn't currently work with the Zip local option or scrom + metadata export. That will be fixed in future and is specific to the sandpit but in a way irrelevant at the moment.

 

2. The normal Zip export and Scorm export work fine on the sandpit and import back into the sandpit ok too.

 

3. Oli my 1st suggestion would be for you to create a new test LO on your new installation. Publish and export that. Then try to import that back into the same installation. Does that work without the same errors? If it doesn't then you need to resolve the issue with your installation and this is separate from any issues with the sandpit.

 

4. If step 3. did work send a copy or link of the zip you exported from the sandpit so we can test and provide further help.

Hi all

I picked this up from teacher list but it more properly belongs in here so any ideas? I'll ask Oli to ensure he's subscribed in here to pick up the answers.

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

 

Hi

 

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

 

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying
"ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

 

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM + metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

 

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no further.

 

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it seems the sandpit is not happy either...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Oli

Hi

First of all, my apologies for any confusion caused by posting to the wrong list. I'm new in this post, new to XOT, new to how these support lists work and I think I have been mixing up two or more XOT problems into the same email help request. So thanks for all the help so far and for bearing with me! 

Secondly, despite the subject line of this email (which I have kept only for the sake of continuity!) I don't know if there is and export issue at all but there's obviously an issue with our new installation of XOT: I've made a test LO but when I try to play it I get this message: "ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

I don't have access to the server files myself but will pass on any advice received to those that do.

Many thanks

Oli

Also no need to apologise it was others who hijacked your subject line ;-)

With a new installation it's obviously a fundamental step/requirement that
creating and viewing an LO works before trying things like exporting and
importing. Clearly something isn't right with your install and if you don't
have access to the server yourself you may need to get whoever does to
subscribe and post to this list. Pat will no doubt make additional
suggestions but my list would be...

Check database.php and make sure the values are correct
Check the site_details table in the database especially that the various
paths are correct
Check the permissions are correct

Make sure creating/editing/viewing works before even trying exporting and
importing
Once that works try exporting and importing from the same install before
trying to import a sandpit created lo
Finally try the sandpit import and post further questions if everything but
that works

Hi Paul,

We don't have any restrictions AFAIK and the YouTube page worked fine for a while. Think it may be something corrupted in our installation. A shame because we were just starting to get real interest in using Xerte at Bath but this issue is starting to turn people off.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Julian

Hi Ron

Thanks for the advice. I've passed on your suggestions and will see what news comes back.

Best

Subject: [Xerte] Re: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

Also no need to apologise it was others who hijacked your subject line ;-)

With a new installation it's obviously a fundamental step/requirement that creating and viewing an LO works before trying things like exporting and importing. Clearly something isn't right with your install and if you don't have access to the server yourself you may need to get whoever does to subscribe and post to this list. Pat will no doubt make additional suggestions but my list would be...

Check database.php and make sure the values are correct Check the site_details table in the database especially that the various paths are correct Check the permissions are correct

Make sure creating/editing/viewing works before even trying exporting and importing Once that works try exporting and importing from the same install before trying to import a sandpit created lo Finally try the sandpit import and post further questions if everything but that works

I notice parent_t has 8 letters - why is it truncating there? The folder should be parent_templates... does that folder exist on the server?

Hi

First of all, my apologies for any confusion caused by posting to the wrong list. I'm new in this post, new to XOT, new to how these support lists work and I think I have been mixing up two or more XOT problems into the same email help request. So thanks for all the help so far and for bearing with me! 

Secondly, despite the subject line of this email (which I have kept only for the sake of continuity!) I don't know if there is and export issue at all but there's obviously an issue with our new installation of XOT: I've made a test LO but when I try to play it I get this message: "ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

I don't have access to the server files myself but will pass on any advice received to those that do.

Many thanks

Oli

This is all going to get confusing with some of the subsequent replies hijacking the subject line for an unrelated topic.

Not sure if Oli has subscribed here yet either but I would comment/add as
follows:

 

1. As David has said in a subsequent reply the sandpit doesn't currently work with the Zip local option or scrom + metadata export. That will be fixed in future and is specific to the sandpit but in a way irrelevant at the moment.

 

2. The normal Zip export and Scorm export work fine on the sandpit and import back into the sandpit ok too.

 

3. Oli my 1st suggestion would be for you to create a new test LO on your new installation. Publish and export that. Then try to import that back into the same installation. Does that work without the same errors? If it doesn't then you need to resolve the issue with your installation and this is separate from any issues with the sandpit.

 

4. If step 3. did work send a copy or link of the zip you exported from the sandpit so we can test and provide further help.

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

 

Hi

 

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

 

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying
"ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

 

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM + metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

 

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no further.

 

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it seems the sandpit is not happy either...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Oli

I have finally managed to make my first little LO on Xerte Online Toolkit (and very nice it is too if I say so myself) and would like to be able to share it with others  as a link, not within a VLE. I looked on JISC Tech Dis website and found the helpsheet 'editing, managing and sharing learning objects (Part 1) and followed instructions as best I can. Step 19 shows how to get a link via Project tab. I have copied the link - works fine on my computer but not on a couple of colleagues I've tested it out on

This is the link provided

Hi Gillian,

Localhost is "internet slang" for "the computer you are on".

So only you can see http://localhost

Try the following

Go Start Then Run, type in "command" press return

Type in IPconfig and press return

One line will say ip addres ......................... and then four
numbers separated by a full stop.

Change the address you give to people to

http://(the four numbers and full stops)/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=10

please remove the brackets from the above

This link may work on other PCs / Macs on your network, but almost
certainly won't work outside of your Uni

From reijnders at tor.nl  Thu Jan 19 17:18:48 2012
From: reijnders at tor.nl (Tom Reijnders)
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:18:48 +0100
Subject: [Xerte] Re: sharing LOs via link from Project tab
In-Reply-To: <C1FEFBBABA2D5D4F884ACAD6E32B2BB6034316@EXCHMBX10X05.unv.wlv.ac.uk>
References: <C1FEFBBABA2D5D4F884ACAD6E32B2BB6034316@EXCHMBX10X05.unv.wlv.ac.uk>
Message-ID: <4F185078.8030405@tor.nl>

You're running Xerte Online Toolkits (XOT) locally on your machine.

Depending on the configuration of your local PC, you must at least 
replace 'localhost' with the network name of your PC, i.e. ws15.wlv.ac.uk.

So in stead of

http://localhost/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=10

you would get:

http://ws15.wlv.ac.uk/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=10


Chances are however, that a firewall and/or other security software is 
installed on your PC that prevents this from working.

In that case, please consider asking one of your system admins.

Regards,

Tom

>> Hi all,
>>
>> We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath
>> as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos
>> not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M
>> posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and
>> Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our
>> installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but
>> apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.
>>
>> Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow
>> this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice
>> from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are
>> wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean
>> install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we
>> have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?
>>
>> If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps
>> that we need to take including file paths etc?
>>
>> many thanks

Hi Gillian,

Localhost is "internet slang" for "the computer you are on".

So only you can see http://localhost

Try the following

Go Start Then Run, type in "command" press return

Type in IPconfig and press return

One line will say ip addres ......................... and then four numbers separated by a full stop.

Change the address you give to people to

http://(the four numbers and full stops)/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=10

please remove the brackets from the above

This link may work on other PCs / Macs on your network, but almost certainly won't work outside of your Uni

Hello,

It'd need to be on a VLE, or another web hosting service. XAMPP is a
web server for your PC, but your network won't let it work as a web
server for security reasons.

The type and format of link you have shared is correct in as far as I assume
you've made your LO public and shared the play.php rather than preview.php
link but I'm afraid it looks like you are using an installation installed on
your own computer rather than a public or even internal facing web server.
Wherever you see a link containing http://localhost you can generally assume
it's a local installation for development rather than a shared web server.

You have a number of options:

1. Export your LO (info in the same guides) extract the zip and share it
online or via a network drive or even usb/CD.
2. Export and import into a vle course and share it that way
3. Talk to your IT team about getting XOT installed on a shared web server
and then import your LO and share via that installation - this should be
your longer term goal anyway.

Subject: [Xerte] sharing LOs via link from Project tab

I have finally managed to make my first little LO on Xerte Online Toolkit
(and very nice it is too if I say so myself) and would like to be able to
share it with others  as a link, not within a VLE. I looked on JISC Tech Dis
website and found the helpsheet 'editing, managing and sharing learning
objects (Part 1) and followed instructions as best I can. Step 19 shows how
to get a link via Project tab. I have copied the link - works fine on my
computer but not on a couple of colleagues I've tested it out on

This is the link provided

http://localhost/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=10

There is a fix. You need to update the youtube .rlm files with those in the svn. That should fix it.

Hi Paul,

We don't have any restrictions AFAIK and the YouTube page worked fine for a while. Think it may be something corrupted in our installation. A shame because we were just starting to get real interest in using Xerte at Bath but this issue is starting to turn people off.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Julian

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:


Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems

with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know

what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you

are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the

OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

I highly recommend the developer subscribes, asks the questions he has, get the answers he needs, and then un-subscribes. There be dragons in Chinese whispers.

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

I think James has tried that already but we still had the same issue 
after updating. I'll check with him and get back to you.

You can fix this. Take the files from the svn, not the zip to be sure you?ve got the most recent files.

I think James has tried that already but we still had the same issue after updating. I'll check with him and get back to you.

There is a fix. You need to update the youtube .rlm files with those in the svn. That should fix it.

Hi Paul,

We don't have any restrictions AFAIK and the YouTube page worked fine for a while. Think it may be something corrupted in our installation. A shame because we were just starting to get real interest in using Xerte at Bath but this issue is starting to turn people off.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Julian

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:



Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems

with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know

what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you

are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the

OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

I get that too, but our company has software (WebSense) that blocks access to YouTube, Twitter, FaceBook and other social media sites (plus naughty sites). Could you have something like that in place? Are you able to go to YouTube?s website and view videos from there?

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:

Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems
with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know
what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you
are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the
OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Hi

After some tinkering on the server (not entirely sure what) we can now create and play LOs on our installation of XOT. Importing/exporting of LOs works fine as 'zip export' but doesn't work as 'scorm export'. 

Trying to import as Scorm gets the following: "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported."

I'm delighted we've got this far but having scorm capability would be even better...

Best

Oli

Also no need to apologise it was others who hijacked your subject line ;-)

With a new installation it's obviously a fundamental step/requirement that creating and viewing an LO works before trying things like exporting and importing. Clearly something isn't right with your install and if you don't have access to the server yourself you may need to get whoever does to subscribe and post to this list. Pat will no doubt make additional suggestions but my list would be...

Check database.php and make sure the values are correct Check the site_details table in the database especially that the various paths are correct Check the permissions are correct

Make sure creating/editing/viewing works before even trying exporting and importing Once that works try exporting and importing from the same install before trying to import a sandpit created lo Finally try the sandpit import and post further questions if everything but that works

I notice parent_t has 8 letters - why is it truncating there? The folder should be parent_templates... does that folder exist on the server?

Hi

First of all, my apologies for any confusion caused by posting to the wrong list. I'm new in this post, new to XOT, new to how these support lists work and I think I have been mixing up two or more XOT problems into the same email help request. So thanks for all the help so far and for bearing with me! 

Secondly, despite the subject line of this email (which I have kept only for the sake of continuity!) I don't know if there is and export issue at all but there's obviously an issue with our new installation of XOT: I've made a test LO but when I try to play it I get this message: "ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

I don't have access to the server files myself but will pass on any advice received to those that do.

Many thanks

Oli

This is all going to get confusing with some of the subsequent replies hijacking the subject line for an unrelated topic.

Not sure if Oli has subscribed here yet either but I would comment/add as
follows:

 

1. As David has said in a subsequent reply the sandpit doesn't currently work with the Zip local option or scrom + metadata export. That will be fixed in future and is specific to the sandpit but in a way irrelevant at the moment.

 

2. The normal Zip export and Scorm export work fine on the sandpit and import back into the sandpit ok too.

 

3. Oli my 1st suggestion would be for you to create a new test LO on your new installation. Publish and export that. Then try to import that back into the same installation. Does that work without the same errors? If it doesn't then you need to resolve the issue with your installation and this is separate from any issues with the sandpit.

 

4. If step 3. did work send a copy or link of the zip you exported from the sandpit so we can test and provide further help.

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

 

Hi

 

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

 

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying
"ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

 

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM + metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

 

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no further.

 

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it seems the sandpit is not happy either...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Oli

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

Hi

After some tinkering on the server (not entirely sure what) we can now create and play LOs on our installation of XOT. Importing/exporting of LOs works fine as 'zip export' but doesn't work as 'scorm export'. 

Trying to import as Scorm gets the following: "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported."

I'm delighted we've got this far but having scorm capability would be even better...

Also no need to apologise it was others who hijacked your subject line ;-)

With a new installation it's obviously a fundamental step/requirement that creating and viewing an LO works before trying things like exporting and importing. Clearly something isn't right with your install and if you don't have access to the server yourself you may need to get whoever does to subscribe and post to this list. Pat will no doubt make additional suggestions but my list would be...

Check database.php and make sure the values are correct Check the site_details table in the database especially that the various paths are correct Check the permissions are correct

Make sure creating/editing/viewing works before even trying exporting and importing Once that works try exporting and importing from the same install before trying to import a sandpit created lo Finally try the sandpit import and post further questions if everything but that works

Hello

The SCORM export probably isn't importable as it has differently named
files (it's hard to work out what files you should let a website
upload as it's a bit insecure)

Importing a SCORM export wouldn't do anything extra anyways -
importing SCORM wouldn't make toolkits do anything differently.

Alistair

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

A

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?

Hi Alistair.
The issue is that the original host for the latex functionality has ceased to exist.Ron is now hosting that function.
The pointer to the original site was hardcoded in the engine, XMLEngine.swf.That is what need to be updated with a version that points to the correct source.
Check to see if all the XMLEngine.swf files on your local machine match the latest one (the one on the server it looks like).
Cheers,Dave

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

BTW sandpit not yet updated - need to contact David about something.

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.

Hello

The SCORM export probably isn't importable as it has differently named files (it's hard to work out what files you should let a website upload as it's a bit insecure)

Importing a SCORM export wouldn't do anything extra anyways - importing SCORM wouldn't make toolkits do anything differently.

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?

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

A

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
A

MathML has a nice editor which might be embedable for specific "formulae"

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?

Alistair
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
A

You could see about getting an external host? A basic web hosting

It sounds like they just don't want to help. Like Pat, I don't buy that, plenty of institutions have installed it and no one has ever reported any security issues. I cannot imagine for one minute that they don't install any free software: Pebblepad is free, right?

All software has a security risks, there isn't a lot you can do
against something that dogmatic

You could see about getting an external host? A basic web hosting
package (bought) would support toolkits

I'm new in this post, new to XOT, new to how these support lists work and I think I have been mixing up two or more XOT problems into the same email help request.

>> 3. Oli my 1st suggestion would be for you to create a new test LO on your new installation. Publish and export that. Then try to import that back into the same installation. Does that work without the same errors? If it doesn't then you need to resolve the issue with your installation and this is separate from any issues with the sandpit.

Alistair,

What we did is change the site that hosted the LaTex expression server 
that we (Julian) didn't have any control on, to a server that we (as a 
community) have control over.... (it's mine.. ;-) )

In order to use that, you have to have a XMLEngine.swf installed that is 
aware of the new (my) server and is able to use that.

That is already taken care of by Ron, at the moment (at least that is 
what I gather form the answers so far)

>we wouldn't install any freeware on to our servers due to security risks.
Like Linux? It's free.
There is a rather germane difference between "freeware" and "open source".
Freeware may be free, but it is usually proprietary and compiled and will earn a living via advertising or referral.There is no way to see exactly what the internal code is doing, so yes, I would call that a security risk.
Open source, like Xerte (and Linux), means the internal coding is open to all to examine, test or alter.If there are security issues, there is no place to hide them.
I'm a little taken aback that an IT department would not be conscious of the difference.

A few points of clarification....

 

1. It's Tom Reijnders who's now hosting the latex code

 

2. When updating XOT installations it may not be just the xmlengine.swf that
needs updating and not just in one place either...

 

I have some answers and some questions:

 

XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf need to go in the root and
modules/xerte/scorm/

the languages folder needs to be in the root along with it's contents (this
is not for latex but to avoid having undefined showing in the interface
menus)

 

However having put all this in place on the itq install that Alistair is
using:

 

The languages folder isn't being exported and so the LO doesn't finish
loading (adding the languages folder to the exported folder fixes that)

The latex isn't displaying in the exported lo

 

Does there need to be a second languages folder somewhere or updated export
code?

Likewise other files to enable latex to work offline?

 

Cheers

Ron

Hi Alistair.

 

The issue is that the original host for the latex functionality has ceased
to exist.

Ron is now hosting that function.

 

The pointer to the original site was hardcoded in the engine, XMLEngine.swf.

That is what need to be updated with a version that points to the correct
source.

 

Check to see if all the XMLEngine.swf files on your local machine match the
latest one (the one on the server it looks like).

 

Cheers,

Dave

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?

Alistair

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?

BTW sandpit not yet updated - need to contact David about something.

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

A

    Alistair,

    

    What we did is change the site that hosted the LaTex expression
    server that we (Julian) didn't have any control on, to a server that
    we (as a community) have control over.... (it's mine.. ;-) )

    

    In order to use that, you have to have a XMLEngine.swf installed
    that is aware of the new (my) server and is able to use that. 

    

    That is already taken care of by Ron, at the moment (at least that
    is what I gather form the answers so far)

    

    

    

    

    Tom

Hi Gillian

Maybe an approach to take would be "how satisfied are you that learners are being provided with content that meets a wide range of accessibility needs?"

For example have a look at http://www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/techdis/resources/detail/goingdigital/Xerte_dyslexia for example to see how a wide range of Xerte templates can support people with dyslexia and other literacy issues.

All of life is a risk and security is just one of the risks. There is also a risk of learners complaining that learning resources provided by the institution demonstrated too few reasonable adjustments for the needs of disabled learners.

Don't over-egg this particular pudding because there are still accessibility tweaks that can improve Xerte (I've a list I'm working through) but when you compare resources a non-technical tutor can make with Xerte versus the alternatives at their disposal Xerte can certainly give you Brownie points in relation to the Disability Discrimination Act.

Alternatively I'm sure Julian could come to an arrangement whereby your network team paid a handsome fee to use it :-)

It sounds like they just don't want to help. Like Pat, I don't buy that, plenty of institutions have installed it and no one has ever reported any security issues. I cannot imagine for one minute that they don't install any free software: Pebblepad is free, right?

All software has a security risks, there isn't a lot you can do
against something that dogmatic

You could see about getting an external host? A basic web hosting
package (bought) would support toolkits

I did that in the new code. If you've got old code it won't be doing it, obviously. But the code in the svn does export languages.

It could be that  'we can't install that because of security' actually means 'it's Friday, and we really can't be bothered'. There again it might not. I wouldn't like to say.

I'd probably go up the line and get some senior support.

Like Linux? It's free.

There is a rather germane difference between "freeware" and "open source".

Freeware may be free, but it is usually proprietary and compiled and will earn a living via advertising or referral.
There is no way to see exactly what the internal code is doing, so yes, I would call that a security risk.

Open source, like Xerte (and Linux), means the internal coding is open to all to examine, test or alter.
If there are security issues, there is no place to hide them.

I'm a little taken aback that an IT department would not be conscious of the difference.

I did that in the new code. If you've got old code it won't be doing it,
obviously. But the code in the svn does export languages.

Ok in my case the latex not working offline was the old Flash Player
security issue - it seems my previous global security settings had been lost
- probably with a flash player update :-(

 

So the latex does work offline from an allowed folder.

 

Just need to make sure the languages folder gets exported now but can't
upgrade the whole install so need to know what pages/code is required for
that...

A few points of clarification....

 

1. It's Tom Reijnders who's now hosting the latex code

 

2. When updating XOT installations it may not be just the xmlengine.swf that
needs updating and not just in one place either...

 

I have some answers and some questions:

 

XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf need to go in the root and
modules/xerte/scorm/

the languages folder needs to be in the root along with it's contents (this
is not for latex but to avoid having undefined showing in the interface
menus)

 

However having put all this in place on the itq install that Alistair is
using:

 

The languages folder isn't being exported and so the LO doesn't finish
loading (adding the languages folder to the exported folder fixes that)

The latex isn't displaying in the exported lo

 

Does there need to be a second languages folder somewhere or updated export
code?

Likewise other files to enable latex to work offline?

 

Cheers

Ron

Hi Alistair.

 

The issue is that the original host for the latex functionality has ceased
to exist.

Ron is now hosting that function.

 

The pointer to the original site was hardcoded in the engine, XMLEngine.swf.

That is what need to be updated with a version that points to the correct
source.

 

Check to see if all the XMLEngine.swf files on your local machine match the
latest one (the one on the server it looks like).

 

Cheers,

Dave

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

BTW sandpit not yet updated - need to contact David about something.

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

My understanding is that if the LOs are Scorm compliant we can upload them into our LMS (Blackboard) which will then be able to track how/if students have used the LOs. And it allows results from quizzes etc. to be interpreted by the LMS.

Please advise me if I've understood this incorrectly.

Thanks 

Oli

Hi

After some tinkering on the server (not entirely sure what) we can now create and play LOs on our installation of XOT. Importing/exporting of LOs works fine as 'zip export' but doesn't work as 'scorm export'. 

Trying to import as Scorm gets the following: "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported."

I'm delighted we've got this far but having scorm capability would be even better...

Also no need to apologise it was others who hijacked your subject line ;-)

With a new installation it's obviously a fundamental step/requirement that creating and viewing an LO works before trying things like exporting and importing. Clearly something isn't right with your install and if you don't have access to the server yourself you may need to get whoever does to subscribe and post to this list. Pat will no doubt make additional suggestions but my list would be...

Check database.php and make sure the values are correct Check the site_details table in the database especially that the various paths are correct Check the permissions are correct

Make sure creating/editing/viewing works before even trying exporting and importing Once that works try exporting and importing from the same install before trying to import a sandpit created lo Finally try the sandpit import and post further questions if everything but that works

Hi

First of all, my apologies for any confusion caused by posting to the wrong list. I'm new in this post, new to XOT, new to how these support lists work and I think I have been mixing up two or more XOT problems into the same email help request. So thanks for all the help so far and for bearing with me! 

Secondly, despite the subject line of this email (which I have kept only for the sake of continuity!) I don't know if there is and export issue at all but there's obviously an issue with our new installation of XOT: I've made a test LO but when I try to play it I get this message: "ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

I don't have access to the server files myself but will pass on any advice received to those that do.

Many thanks

Oli

This is all going to get confusing with some of the subsequent replies hijacking the subject line for an unrelated topic.

Not sure if Oli has subscribed here yet either but I would comment/add as
follows:

 

1. As David has said in a subsequent reply the sandpit doesn't currently work with the Zip local option or scrom + metadata export. That will be fixed in future and is specific to the sandpit but in a way irrelevant at the moment.

 

2. The normal Zip export and Scorm export work fine on the sandpit and import back into the sandpit ok too.

 

3. Oli my 1st suggestion would be for you to create a new test LO on your new installation. Publish and export that. Then try to import that back into the same installation. Does that work without the same errors? If it doesn't then you need to resolve the issue with your installation and this is separate from any issues with the sandpit.

 

4. If step 3. did work send a copy or link of the zip you exported from the sandpit so we can test and provide further help.

Subject: exporting from sandpit and importing to our own XOT installation

 

Hi

 

We finally have our own installation of XOT and I'd like to transfer the LOs I've made in the sandpit to our own version of XOT. But I'm having a few problems. Any help would be very gratefully received!

 

I can export from the sandpit as a straightforward "zip export" without any problems. And I can import the .zip into our own version of XOT okay but when I try to play the newly imported LO I get an error message saying
"ERROR: The file modules/Xerte/parent_t" and it won't play.

 

So I tried to export from the sandpit in different formats to see if that works. When I try to export as a "Zip (local) export" or as a "SCORM + metadata export" I am immediately logged out of the sandpit and taken to the login page:  http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/

 

I can export from the sandpit as a "Scorm export" but when I try to import the .zip into our own XOT I get a message saying "Upload checkFile transfer has failed.****Only Xerte templates are currently imported." And can go no further.

 

Perhaps our version of XOT is not installed/configured correctly? But it seems the sandpit is not happy either...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Oli

If you just link to the LO in situ from blackboard it will track usage, no need to scorm it over to the LMS. The quiz tracking is different, yes, but don't move stuff you don't need to move.

It's export.php

Ok in my case the latex not working offline was the old Flash Player security issue - it seems my previous global security settings had been lost - probably with a flash player update :-(

So the latex does work offline from an allowed folder.

Just need to make sure the languages folder gets exported now but can't upgrade the whole install so need to know what pages/code is required for that...

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Formulae and Latex - idiot's guide?

A few points of clarification....

1. It's Tom Reijnders who's now hosting the latex code

2. When updating XOT installations it may not be just the xmlengine.swf that needs updating and not just in one place either...

I have some answers and some questions:

XMLEngine.swf and MainPreloader.swf need to go in the root and modules/xerte/scorm/
the languages folder needs to be in the root along with it's contents (this is not for latex but to avoid having undefined showing in the interface menus)

However having put all this in place on the itq install that Alistair is using:

The languages folder isn't being exported and so the LO doesn't finish loading (adding the languages folder to the exported folder fixes that)
The latex isn't displaying in the exported lo

Does there need to be a second languages folder somewhere or updated export code?
Likewise other files to enable latex to work offline?

Cheers
Ron

Hi Alistair.

The issue is that the original host for the latex functionality has ceased to exist.
Ron is now hosting that function.

The pointer to the original site was hardcoded in the engine, XMLEngine.swf.
That is what need to be updated with a version that points to the correct source.

Check to see if all the XMLEngine.swf files on your local machine match the latest one (the one on the server it looks like).

Cheers,
Dave

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.

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

Julian's reply that 'it's Friday and we can't be bothered' is probably not far off the mark. I have kicked the issue to the Head of IT with some of your arguments and including one of my own - our own Uni sends round a teacher development email telling us about the RSC Xertes workshop and encouraging us to attend!
Watch this space

Everyone on this list has been very helpful so thank you very much  - one more thing I just can't figure out though - how do I get an email once a day rather than everytime something is posted to the community?

Gill

It could be that  'we can't install that because of security' actually means 'it's Friday, and we really can't be bothered'. There again it might not. I wouldn't like to say.

I'd probably go up the line and get some senior support.

>we wouldn't install any freeware on to our servers due to security risks.

Like Linux? It's free.

There is a rather germane difference between "freeware" and "open source".

Freeware may be free, but it is usually proprietary and compiled and will earn a living via advertising or referral.
There is no way to see exactly what the internal code is doing, so yes, I would call that a security risk.

Open source, like Xerte (and Linux), means the internal coding is open to all to examine, test or alter.
If there are security issues, there is no place to hide them.

I'm a little taken aback that an IT department would not be conscious of the difference.

You can set your list options at http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/xerte edit options at the bottom.

The political difficulty is not having the IT people close ranks having set out their position already, or having them deliberately find a reason not to proceed if you challenge them to justify the position they have taken and put their backs up.

We're pretty lucky here in that the IT people are generally pretty 'yeah, can do', but I have worked places where it's quite the opposite. Anyone who's been around learning tech for any time will have their own stories to tell, right chaps?

I'd maybe proceed on the basis of establishing a trial, involve the IT people in the trial and ask them to identify any concerns: we can help if anything comes up. Get some senior sponsorship for the trial and raise it as a project in whatever means you have to do that. During the trial, build a compelling case for the software from a learner and teaching staff point of view, maybe a cost view, and get some senior buy-in to roll out the trial once you've sorted everything out and everyone's had a chance to chip in,

Julian's reply that 'it's Friday and we can't be bothered' is probably not far off the mark. I have kicked the issue to the Head of IT with some of your arguments and including one of my own - our own Uni sends round a teacher development email telling us about the RSC Xertes workshop and encouraging us to attend!
Watch this space

Everyone on this list has been very helpful so thank you very much  - one more thing I just can't figure out though - how do I get an email once a day rather than everytime something is posted to the community?

I did that in the new code. If you've got old code it won't be doing it, obviously. But the code in the svn does export languages.

It could be that  'we can't install that because of security' actually means 'it's Friday, and we really can't be bothered'. There again it might not. I wouldn't like to say.

I'd probably go up the line and get some senior support.

>we wouldn't install any freeware on to our servers due to security risks.

Like Linux? It's free.

There is a rather germane difference between "freeware" and "open source".

Freeware may be free, but it is usually proprietary and compiled and will earn a living via advertising or referral.
There is no way to see exactly what the internal code is doing, so yes, I would call that a security risk.

Open source, like Xerte (and Linux), means the internal coding is open to all to examine, test or alter.
If there are security issues, there is no place to hide them.

I'm a little taken aback that an IT department would not be conscious of the difference.

Thanks very much Dave, Pat and Julian for your replies. I'm still not totally clear about the use of scorm with XOT, however. (NB I'm not using the sandpit anymore so anything to do with the sandpit is no longer relevant to my question.)



I want to track students' usage of the LOs in Blackboard AND the results of quizzes in Blackboard. So is it right that I need to export the LOs as 'Scorm Export' and then upload them into Blackboard to achieve this?



Also, what is meant by the 'richer SCORM metadata' that comes with the 'SCORM + metadata export'? What effect would/could that have within Blackboard?


Thanks

Oli

Leaving the content in toolkits and linking to it is better in some ways because you can easily update it. If you export it, and import it elsewhere as scorm you can't.

Blackboard will track your users if you provide a link to the URL of the piece in toolkits. No need to export it.
You could then use a native blackboard quiz to validate the learning, in a 'view this piece then take this quiz' approach.

If you do export it as a scorm package, you can import that into Blackboard, the only real reason to do that, is as you say, to get a quiz score.

Also, what is meant by the 'richer SCORM metadata' that comes with the 'SCORM + metadata export'? What effect would/could that have within Blackboard?


Thanks

Oli

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

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

A

How do you get XERTE results from quizzes etc, to be picked up by BlackBoard?

Subject: [Xerte] scorm or not?


Thanks very much Dave, Pat and Julian for your replies. I'm still not totally clear about the use of scorm with XOT, however. (NB I'm not using the sandpit anymore so anything to do with the sandpit is no longer relevant to my question.)



I want to track students' usage of the LOs in Blackboard AND the results of quizzes in Blackboard. So is it right that I need to export the LOs as 'Scorm Export' and then upload them into Blackboard to achieve this?



Also, what is meant by the 'richer SCORM metadata' that comes with the 'SCORM + metadata export'? What effect would/could that have within Blackboard?


Thanks

Oli

You export them as scorm packages and import them into blackboard. You need to turn on 'scorm tracking' for the quiz, and choose 'track first score' or 'track last score'. Only the quiz does any tracking of results.

Thanks very much Dave, Pat and Julian for your replies. I'm still not totally clear about the use of scorm with XOT, however. (NB I'm not using the sandpit anymore so anything to do with the sandpit is no longer relevant to my question.)



I want to track students' usage of the LOs in Blackboard AND the results of quizzes in Blackboard. So is it right that I need to export the LOs as 'Scorm Export' and then upload them into Blackboard to achieve this?



Also, what is meant by the 'richer SCORM metadata' that comes with the 'SCORM + metadata export'? What effect would/could that have within Blackboard?


Thanks

Oli

XOT produces LO's (Learning Objects), just like desktop Xerte.
SCORM is just a protocol to standardize the use/communication between a learning object and a host.So when you "package for SCORM", the procedure just takes your LO, wraps some data and javascript around it, then zips that all up.
The SCORM data in the zip tells the SCORM compliant host: Here's what this LO is about, so you can fit it in your course taxonomy structure.The SCORM javascript in the zip provides a way for the LO to communicate (read "Send quiz data") to the SCORM compliant host.
What Julian is driving at is this.You don't need to deal with the whole SCORM rigmarole if you can simply add a quiz in the host itself (e.g. Blackboard).

Hi all,

I've built a 'light' version of XOT that works as a WordPress plugin.

It's early days (but definitely usable), so if anyone would like to
help test it please let me know.

Thanks

Message-ID: <000501ccd963$d5c292b0$8147b810$@kccsoft.com>

Anyone know if xerte desktop has an equivalent to the AW 'systemseconds'
function?

 

When a user enters a module I want to snapshot the 'systemseconds'. When
they leave the module I want to grab it again and determine how many total
seconds they spent in the module, then divide by 60 for minutes. I don't
want a seconds counter that resets to '0' each minute. don't immediately see
what I can use for this.

GetTimer() returns the number of ms since 1.1.1970, so

T = gettimer()

Then later

 Secs = (getTimer() - t ) /1000

Subject: [Xerte] counting seconds

Anyone know if xerte desktop has an equivalent to the AW ?systemseconds? function?

When a user enters a module I want to snapshot the ?systemseconds?. When they leave the module I want to grab it again and determine how many total seconds they spent in the module, then divide by 60 for minutes. I don?t want a seconds counter that resets to ?0? each minute? don?t immediately see what I can use for this.

Hi

We have setup Xerte 2.17 and configured LDAP, but we are having a problem with the authentication.

When you type in the user credentials it lets the user in regardless of whether the password is correct or incorrect.

Do you have any ideas on how we can get this working as we can't spot anything wrong.

Thanks

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(

Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?

Thanks

Either something is still stuck in cache or you do not have the proper files in the correct places.
To address the behaviour descrobed Julian altered the code to move the youtube object far offscreen until it had loaded and resized.Then the object snaps on-screen.

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(

Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?

Thanks
Cuna

\modules\xerte\parent_templates\Nottingham\common\youtube.swf too.

Either something is still stuck in cache or you do not have the proper files in the correct places.

To address the behaviour descrobed Julian altered the code to move the youtube object far offscreen until it had loaded and resized.
Then the object snaps on-screen.

Select the youtube component:



Does it look like this? You can see that the component is positioned off the screen (panel._x + 1000)

Either something is still stuck in cache or you do not have the proper files in the correct places.

Then the object snaps on-screen.

>     We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of
>     Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with
>     YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing
>     .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having
>     the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more
>     serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to
>     v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to
>     roll back to 1.5.
>
>     Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow
>     this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek
>     advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and
>     we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we
>     do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte
>     resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly
>     shared as OER?
>
>     If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the
>     steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

IT?s where we keep all the source code

http://code.google.com/p/xerte

models are in trunk/templates/pageTemplates/models. Right click, save as to take them direct from the website, or if you?re feeling brave, install TortoiseSVN and check the files out: that will make it easier to see what changes in the future.

You can fix this. Take the files from the svn, not the zip to be sure you?ve got the most recent files.

There is a fix. You need to update the youtube .rlm files with those in the svn. That should fix it.

Hi Paul,

We don't have any restrictions AFAIK and the YouTube page worked fine for a while. Think it may be something corrupted in our installation. A shame because we were just starting to get real interest in using Xerte at Bath but this issue is starting to turn people off.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Julian

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:




Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems

with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know

what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you

are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the

OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:



Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems

with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know

what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you

are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the

OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

I highly recommend the developer subscribes, asks the questions he has, get the answers he needs, and then un-subscribes. There be dragons in Chinese whispers.

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

I get that too, but our company has software (WebSense) that blocks access to YouTube, Twitter, FaceBook and other social media sites (plus naughty sites). Could you have something like that in place? Are you able to go to YouTube?s website and view videos from there?

There is a fix. You need to update the youtube .rlm files with those in the svn. That should fix it.

Hi Paul,

We don't have any restrictions AFAIK and the YouTube page worked fine for a while. Think it may be something corrupted in our installation. A shame because we were just starting to get real interest in using Xerte at Bath but this issue is starting to turn people off.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Julian

Hi Julian, here is the reply from our developer James:



Well - thing is, I could go on the forum and say "we have some problems

with our xerte install" but then I'd have to refer back to you to know

what they are! I think it is best you try to describe the problem you

are having and I will implement any suggested solution until I get the

OK to devote time to learning how it works and what it does.

With that in mind, here is the main problem we are having:

On the embed YouTube video page in XOT when it plays back we get a blank white rectangle with a "player loading" message. I have attached a screenshot to show this.

cheers

Julian

I highly recommend the developer subscribes, asks the questions he has, get the answers he needs, and then un-subscribes. There be dragons in Chinese whispers.

Subject: [Xerte] Issues with Xerte Toolkits 1.5

Hi all,

We are currently running version 1.5 of XOT at the University of Bath as a pilot project. We are encountering a problem with YouTube videos not playing properly and have replaced the existing .rlms which Ron M posted last week. However we are still having the same problems and Julian T suggested that it might be a more serious issue with our installation. We attempted an upgrade to v1.7 a little while back but apparently it failed and we had to roll back to 1.5.

Our developer who looks after our installation is unable to follow this list due to time constraints so he has asked me to seek advice from the community. We would like to have 1.7 running and we are wondering whether a clean install is the way to go. If we do a clean install, what are the implications for the Xerte resources that we have already created, some of which are publicly shared as OER?

If we attempt another upgrade could somebody talk us through the steps that we need to take including file paths etc?

many thanks

Julian

Julian,

I've just checked the file we have used (youtube.rlm) and, no it doesn't look like this. It is an error on my behalf! I've used the youtube.rlm file you sent us before Christmas. You mush have updated it since then. I should have checked it on the svn for an update :o( 

I'll use the new one and I think this is going to solve our problem :o)

Many thanks
Cuna

Open up youtube.rlm in xerte



Select the youtube component:



Does it look like this? You can see that the component is positioned off the screen (panel._x + 1000)

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(



Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?



Thanks

I don't think that's possible in xerte toolkits but the fact that it generates a table of contents means it's very easy to navigate nonlinearly to any point you prevously reached. If you can't remember where you got to then you probably need to review it anyway :-)

That's a good point. The only workaround I'd be able to implement would be to have the self assessment
elements on a separate LO launched from a NewWindow navigator page. That way you'd end up with the content LO still accessible without losing data entered in assessment LO.

Thanks for the replies.

It sound as though this could be something the developers of Xerte to think about. Although it seems a really powerful tool that does largely fulfil its aim of allowing non-IT people to write good e-learning material, if it is hard for the learner to save their work then that really limits Xerte to fairly low level e-learning. For a serious learning program the user needs to be able to reflect on what they are learning and to be able to go away and think about their responses: if their work has disappeared when they come back then, for anything of substance, they are not going to go through it again.

I'm working on an application where the users will be managers, learning to motivate and develop their staff more effectively. So, for example, we get them to say what they would do in various, fairly complex sets of circumstances and then offer them a 'model answer' or points to think about.They may need to think about similar situations they have been in and about how they might change their behaviour or their approach; and I can't imagine they can do it all in one online session.?

Surely that it is one of the great potential strengths of online learning, that you can get the learner to think about what you are trying to teach and to examine their responses and modify them. Otherwise aren't you just adding some entertainment value to what is essentially a book?

?

Ron,

>It wouldn't help with all your images but for the example here what about using the Charts > Table page type e.g. http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_85

Is this 'Charts > Table' page available in the new version (1.7) of XOT? We are trying to have some simple data tables in our LOs but when I go to 'Charts' I only get the 'Basic Chart' option. Table page option doesn't show up (our installation is v1.5).

Thanks
Cuna

Hi Alistair
This is all quite predictable and not a server or flash player issue - just a simple fact of viewing raster images at different to actual size. Your LO is set to full screen try switching to default so it's 800 x 600 and you'll see that some pages look better at that size and others look better at full screen?

It wouldn't help with all your images but for the example here what about using the Charts > Table page type e.g. http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_85

A final version with 3 pairs of images (jpg v png) at  sizes 300, 360 and 550 respectively. In all cases jpgs show significant degradation. PNGs only show degradation at the 550 px point where they are being shrunk from 550 to 470 to fit the space.

In the short term I?ll stop using jpegs in favour of pngs and gifs but in the long term I?d be really interested to know why jpegs fare so badly. They will be the format of choice for a lot of less technically inclined users so if it ispossible to determine whether the code has changed and if so to change it back I?d be very grateful.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits
(which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking
the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some
colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd
carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were
looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save
a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals
I uploaded are much higher quality.

Is this 'Charts > Table' page available in the new version (1.7) of XOT? We
are trying to have some simple data tables in our LOs but when I go to
'Charts' I only get the 'Basic Chart' option. Table page option doesn't show
up (our installation is v1.5).

Hi Alistair
This is all quite predictable and not a server or flash player issue - just
a simple fact of viewing raster images at different to actual size. Your LO
is set to full screen try switching to default so it's 800 x 600 and you'll
see that some pages look better at that size and others look better at full
screen?

It wouldn't help with all your images but for the example here what about
using the Charts > Table page type e.g.

A final version with 3 pairs of images (jpg v png) at  sizes 300, 360 and
550 respectively. In all cases jpgs show significant degradation. PNGs only
show degradation at the 550 px point where they are being shrunk from 550 to
470 to fit the space.

In the short term I'll stop using jpegs in favour of pngs and gifs but in
the long term I'd be really interested to know why jpegs fare so badly. They
will be the format of choice for a lot of less technically inclined users so
if it ispossible to determine whether the code has changed and if so to
change it back I'd be very grateful.

That's all the excitement needed for one weekend - I'm signing out now!

All the best and thanks for the rapid responses Dave and Pat.

It looks like XOT is stretching them, and so is having to fill in bits
(which is degradation via interpolation, which sounds redundant but lacking
the words to find a better one - negative amelioration?)

The originals are fine.

What's the maximum size? 640 something?

Hi Dave / Pat - thanks for quick responses Yes these shots are all on same
laptop - it appears to be a new problem.
The only PCs I have access to are all the same spec but I'd be interested if
it looks different on other people's PCs - for example the LO I first
spotted it on yesterday is at
http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_79 and page 14 is a slide show
navigator. Slide 4 on page 14 is shown below as it renders for me and the
original image is also shown superimposed. Notice how the table has become
blurry. It wasn't always like that .. does it look equally blurry on your PC
on that slide?

Subject: [Xerte] jpgs degrading - is this a new phenomenon?
This seems weird but yesterday I was demonstrating a learning object to some
colleagues I was working with and I noticed that the images which I'd
carefully crafted to be crisp and sharp and fit the available space were
looking pixellated and ugly with lots of jpegy artefacts (like when you save
a jpeg at too coarse a setting and get fuzz around lines etc). The originals
I uploaded are much higher quality.

[cid:image003.png at 01CCD2FC.479AF170]


However no such degradation is apparent with PNG files as shown below: (as
before the original is at the bottom and the Xerte rendered version at the
top). In this case the quality is indistinguishable.
[cid:image004.png at 01CCD2FC.479AF170]


Is something taking place in the upload that degrades the jpgs or how is
this oddity explained. For the short term I can use PNGs rather than JPGs
but it introduces an extra work layer and It doesn't help the dozens of LOs
that used to look crisp and now look fuzzy. Any suggestions gratefully
received!

Just an idea, but one way to have the learner record more permanent stuff for reflection etc, is to have them print out a doc, sit with a pencil and go through the material. Have the doc prompt for 'write your thoughts on the video here'.. etc, and add other workbook type activities that accompany the learning resources.

I'll use the new one and I think this is going to solve our problem :o)

Subject: [Xerte] Re: FW: Re: youtube movie dimensions



Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(



Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?



Thanks

Cuna

you probably need to replace

\modules\xerte\parent_templates\Nottingham\common\youtube.swf too.

If you've added metadata via the "open content" tab use scorm with
metadata, but all it does is put a little more info in the XML

I don't think much of that metadata get used by Moodle anyway so it doesn't
really matter which scorm eport you use although you'll find with the scorm
+ metadata option you get the following in Moodle:



and with the plain scorm export  



To change either you'd need to edit the imsmanifest and re-zip before
importing to Moodle.

Ron Mitchell had a version of the model answer template that collected together all the responses (including model answers as well as student answer) and put them on the clipboard for printing out - or maybe it put them all in a summary page... can't remember details now.
I liked that facility.

In fact what would be brilliant is to have the option to work through LO then click a button that would provide a pdf of all the final screens including the last view of learner interactions - inevitably there would be compromises (like which tab on a navigator page would it show?) but it would be a great revision aid... a kind of 'grab this screen' option button on each page. Probably easier to imagine than to code though!

Someone came up with the suggestion of a Learner Management System. I haven't come across those before and a Google search suggests they may be mainly about tracking what people are doing and assessing them - which is not what I'm after. Our idea is a purely voluntary program for people who want to learn. Has anyone come across these LMS things or do you use them?

Nice one!

In the example can you show different tab titles, so you can easily see the sections changing?

Hi Fay,
This looks brilliant and I can think of some powerful uses already in terms of developing essay skills.

A question though - Is it possible for scroll bars to be added to the subpages to solve the issue of  text overflowing the frame? I know Julian has argued before about encouraging people to create bite sized text - a view I wholeheartedly agree with - but when you take into account the way visually impaired people may choose to enlarge the font size using the accessibility controls it is often unpredictable as to the point at which the LO will break. If you want to have an image in the subpage (which you often do) the issue becomes even more frustrating.

How big a job would it be for subpages to share the scrollbar behaviour of many of the main pages?

Ok, just tried adding an image to one of the subpages too and this does seem to mess things up a bit if there's lots of text - will look in to this.

Subject: [Xerte] Collecting usage stats in Xerte
Message-ID: <1ED037827A9C0946902FBD979DF48B5E222A536118@ADMMBX3.adf.bham.ac.uk>

Dear all,

I am new to this list (and relatively new to Xerte) so apologies if I am asking very obvious things (my searches in the archives didn't find anything though) . We are starting to use Xerte for teaching information literacy and we use quizzes quite a lot - does anyone know of a way that, when a quiz has been completed successfully, there is some evidence that the student has completed it successfully as we are a bit stumped (a pop up certificate with their name on? Anything else?).

Also, is there a way if collecting usage stats within Xerte itself? We host our learning objects within WebCT and have those stats but we find they are not always reliable...

Thanks in advance for your help!
Catherine

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte Online for WordPress
Message-ID: <CAO2PinOe3EHCbw1A2DkwSMRbS2_FizZev+cJQ7kBFFe2TjZnSg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

Over the last few weeks I've been working to develop (with the help of
some great testers) a Xerte Online Plugin for WordPress.

The plugin allows a WordPress user to create a Xerte Online learning
object (using the default template) in a way which isn't different
from creating a basic WordPress post.

These posts can then be displayed on a WordPress site in the usual manner.

Hopefully this plugin will help to facilitate installing Xerte on
academic networks already with WordPress, and also to create scope for
simplifying the install for other people.

The plugin url is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xerte-online/,
and if you want to install into WordPress just go to "plugins | add
new" and search for Xerte.

Pat

the Quiz page supports Scorm tracking - which isn't a pop up
certificate, but could tell your VLE what the student scored (if you
turn on scorm - there are a few extra considerations).

To see how often a XOT learning object has been used

Highlight the "Workspace" folder
Click on properties
Click on "usage stats" - or something like it (it's been a while).

And some "play" stats should appear.

Are you planning to have automatic updates for XOT at some point in future? I've got Linux installed on my home computer and having regular notifications for new updates makes life so easy. Could the same be done for XOT :o)

Julian,

I've just checked the file we have used (youtube.rlm) and, no it doesn't look like this. It is an error on my behalf! I've used the youtube.rlm file you sent us before Christmas. You mush have updated it since then. I should have checked it on the svn for an update :o(

I'll use the new one and I think this is going to solve our problem :o)

Many thanks
Cuna

Open up youtube.rlm in xerte



Select the youtube component:



Does it look like this? You can see that the component is positioned off the screen (panel._x + 1000)

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(



Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?



Thanks

Cuna

you probably need to replace

Are you planning to have automatic updates for XOT at some point in future? I've got Linux installed on my home computer and having regular notifications for new updates makes life so easy. Could the same be done for XOT :o)

Julian,

I've just checked the file we have used (youtube.rlm) and, no it doesn't look like this. It is an error on my behalf! I've used the youtube.rlm file you sent us before Christmas. You mush have updated it since then. I should have checked it on the svn for an update :o(

I'll use the new one and I think this is going to solve our problem :o)

Many thanks
Cuna

Open up youtube.rlm in xerte



Select the youtube component:



Does it look like this? You can see that the component is positioned off the screen (panel._x + 1000)

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(



Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?



Thanks

Open up youtube.rlm in xerte



Select the youtube component:



Does it look like this? You can see that the component is positioned off the screen (panel._x + 1000)

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm (from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source (r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(



Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the YouTube page either. Any ideas?

I'd suggest doing it the way Moodle does...

Add a register this site button to toolkits which is automatically
removed/hidden once registered - perhaps on the management page

The email used to register the site is the one sent details of updates
including security fixes etc before that info is made public or available
anywhere else

I guess you could set up a separate mailing list to which those registered
site emails get added to make it easy to send to all

The big bonus - you get to know about all the registered installs!

 

I'm sue you know all this and have access to a moodle but in case not an
anonymised screenshot of the moodle register form pasted below.

Julian,

 

I've just checked the file we have used (youtube.rlm) and, no it doesn't
look like this. It is an error on my behalf! I've used the youtube.rlm file
you sent us before Christmas. You mush have updated it since then. I should
have checked it on the svn for an update :o(

 

I'll use the new one and I think this is going to solve our problem :o)

 

Many thanks

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte Online for WordPress

Hello All,

Over the last few weeks I've been working to develop (with the help of
some great testers) a Xerte Online Plugin for WordPress.

The plugin allows a WordPress user to create a Xerte Online learning
object (using the default template) in a way which isn't different
from creating a basic WordPress post.

These posts can then be displayed on a WordPress site in the usual manner.

Hopefully this plugin will help to facilitate installing Xerte on
academic networks already with WordPress, and also to create scope for
simplifying the install for other people.

The plugin url is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/xerte-online/,
and if you want to install into WordPress just go to "plugins | add
new" and search for Xerte.

Pat

Some little things needing fixing, but nothing that stops it working.

One "unknown" bug reported on one site so far - but working on a fix
for it (suspect mimetypes)

Subject: [Xerte] XOT - can't import LOs
Message-ID: <B71F663B1A5FA2418618EDCDF8CB18540221F6EB@dschl72.ds.devon.gov.uk>

Hi

 

I can't import LOs into XOT (v1.7) on our Moodle (v1.9.7) VLE - the
import facility worked OK before our version of XOT was updated to v1.7.
I can successfully import LOs using the same procedure in the TechDIS
SandPit, but when I try to do so using our XOT a long error message is
displayed, beginning: 

 

'PH reports the following error - 

 

<!-- MailSafety: Embedded iframe removed here --> 

 

<div class= ...... '

 

If I immediately try to import again, a different error message is
displayed: 

 

'Upload checkFile transfer has failed.'

 

Any ideas please?

 

Russell Robshaw

The error message is the entire webpage being returned, this came up
recently and I can't remember if it was fixed.

The upload code hasn't changed recently (as far as I recall) - but the
moodle patch uses a different version?

Yes, it was me who had this problem with our non-integrated XOT. Pat suggested I have a look at the website_code/php/export/ and compare it to the latest code. This is still on my todo list...

I'd suggest doing it the way Moodle does...

Add a register this site button to toolkits which is automatically
removed/hidden once registered - perhaps on the management page

The email used to register the site is the one sent details of updates
including security fixes etc before that info is made public or available
anywhere else

I guess you could set up a separate mailing list to which those registered
site emails get added to make it easy to send to all

The big bonus - you get to know about all the registered installs!

 

I'm sue you know all this and have access to a moodle but in case not an
anonymised screenshot of the moodle register form pasted below.

I've got Linux installed on my home computer and having regular

Julian,

 

I've just checked the file we have used (youtube.rlm) and, no it doesn't
look like this. It is an error on my behalf! I've used the youtube.rlm file
you sent us before Christmas. You mush have updated it since then. I should
have checked it on the svn for an update :o(

 

I'll use the new one and I think this is going to solve our problem :o)

 

Many thanks

Open up youtube.rlm in xerte

 

 

 

Select the youtube component:

Well, we have replaced all three files: youtube.swf (from Ron), youtube.rlm
(from Julian) and I've grabbed youtuberss.rlm with the fix from the source
(r430). At least now it works, however, it first displays the video fine
when the page loads, then sprawls off the page, and then snaps back to
normal display size. It all happens in 1-2 seconds :o(

 

 

 

Also, I can't see any  extra options for video size, auto-start etc. on the
YouTube page either. Any ideas?

 

 

 

Thanks

Hi Patrick

 

Thanks for your prompt response.  Are you asking me to identify the
version of 'the Moodle patch'?  If so, I'm not sure what this 'Moodle
patch' is!  We use a third party to host our Moodle, but the staff there
have asked me to find out more information about what they should do to
rectify this problem!

 

Regards

Hi Russell,

I am surprised by the export code stopping working, as it hasn't
really ever changed.

As far as I am aware, the moodle patch, which integrates toolkits into
moodle (so you don't have to log into toolkits) changes, has a
slightly modified export file.

This might be the issue - it might not, but I don't get why export
would break with 1.7

What's the address of your XOT install? Is it something like moodle/xerte?
When you login to XOT do you see a xerte page or the same page that you
login to your Moodle?

If you see a XOT login screen then you aren't using the moodle patch. If you
see a moodle login screen then maybe you are using the moodle patch but
whoever installed your XOT should be able to confirm that for sure.

 

However I doubt your problems with importing is anything to do with the
moodle patch - especially if you're not even using the moodle patch! ;-)

 

The moodle patch is an alternative to logging in via ldap to XOT. In
previous versions of XOT this 'patch'  was a separate download but from 1.7
onwards it's part of the XOT download - there's a readme file inside the
zip. It just helps with authentication and doesn't change any other XOT code
especially import.

 

You've mentioned the sandpit and confirmed that your LO imports into that
but from where was the lo created/exported? Try this:

1. Create a simple LO on the sandpit. Publish it then export it as a normal
zip.

2. Check that the zip extracts ok locally

3. Import the zip back into the sandpit to confirm it imports ok to a XOT
install

4. Now try importing the same LO into your own install

 

If 1, 2 and 3 work fine but 4 doesn't then clearly there is a problem with
your install. Probably worth downloading the current zip from the Nottingham
website and copying over the existing install. Obviously backing up first
and protecting any customisation including moodle patch if in use.

Hi,

When I add a template in XOT and I want it only be visible for a few 
users, I can add there names on de management.php site. How do I do 
that? Firstname, lastname, seperated with ;? Can't get that to work.

Bye,

Message-ID: <B71F663B1A5FA2418618EDCDF8CB18540221F6F7@dschl72.ds.devon.gov.uk>

Hi Ron

 

The homepage for our XOT on Moodle is www.dacl.org/xertes - yes, there
is a letter 's' at the end!

 

If I go to this page directly, without first logging-in to our Moodle,
then the XOT 'Log in' option shows as 'Log out', so the way that we'd
normally access XOT is to first log in to our Moodle, at www.dacl.org, &
then append '/xertes' to the URL to display the XOT page.

 

Following your suggestions, these are the outcomes:

 

Using the SandPit I created a simple LO, exported, extracted & opened it
OK, & imported it without any problems.

 

When trying to import the same LO into our XOT using IE9, the import
failed, without displaying any error message - nothing happened after
clicking the 'Import' button - i.e. no progress bar or error message -
just the 'Import' dialog.

 

When trying to import this LO into our XOT using Google Chrome, the
import again failed, but the error messages that I identified in my
first post were then displayed.

 

I repeated the import-export process with our XOT using a different LO -
one that's already on our XOT.  The export, extraction & run worked OK,
but the import produced the same results on the two browsers, as
described above.

 

So, from what you said in your last post, am I correct that I need to
advise our Moodle hosting service to reinstall v1.7 again.

 

Russell

I am trying to get the embed content page to work
I have created a page in a pagetemplates project and entered into the url
the value

http://www.guardian.co.uk/

However when I preview the page the content is empty. I suspect the page
may only work in published projects so I then published the project.
I have opened the project in both Opera and Internet Explorer and no
content displays.

Am I entering the content incorrectly in Embed code or url field of the
form.

Can someone suggest a value I can use that is known to work?

Kind regards

I too am experiencing the same problem. On my local machine it works
fine, however when I upload it to a server the links fail to load.

Subject: [Xerte] Embed content page

 

I am trying to get the embed content page to work

I have created a page in a pagetemplates project and entered into the
url the value

 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/

 

However when I preview the page the content is empty. I suspect the page
may only work in published projects so I then published the project.

I have opened the project in both Opera and Internet Explorer and no
content displays.

 

Am I entering the content incorrectly in Embed code or url field of the
form.

 

Can someone suggest a value I can use that is known to work?

 

Kind regards

 

Johnathan

I have just compared the content of the rlm file from pageTemplates with
that of the XOT svn dated 13/12/2011 (which I downloaded as part of a so
far unsuccessful attempt to get toolkits running.)

There are some differences which I have now added to my rlm file for the
individual page template, but the page continues to fail to display in
either Opera or Internet Explorer.

I suspect the problem lies in the line

callJS('makePopUp', params);

Where is the javascript located? Is it part of swfObject, or a separate
file?

I suspect the problem is mainly one of not having access to the javascript?
So where would I find the relevant javascript files in the XOT svn folders
and where would I need to install them in a standalone Xerte installation?

Kind regards

Johnathan

Yep,

I found the javascript in index.htm of my published project, but I can't
get the page to work.

I have created a simple test javascript page with a couple of
document.write statements and an alert popup and they work, so javascript
is definitely running in the browser.

So I am some what stumped as far as testing the page goes.

Kind regards

Johnathan

I have the Opera javascript console enabled and it displays errors from a
test script. However when I view the embed content page in a xerte
published project there are no errors displayed. The project displays but
there is simply no content embeded.

Kind regards

Johnathan

I have the Opera javascript console enabled and it displays errors from
a test script. However when I view the embed content page in a xerte
published project there are no errors displayed. The project displays
but there is simply no content embeded.
 
Kind regards
