[Alistair McNaught]

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
