[Xerte] Re: WordPress Plugin "Loading XML..." Message

Hi Pat

A multisite plugin would be wonderful but the short term fix of "build all your XOT LOs on one single install and then use iframes to post them" on the multisite network will be fine for me at the moment.

Thanks for your help. Greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Lincoln Uni asked about making it multisite but the path code is really complicated and adding in "i am a multisite" to the scripts made the logic break. A multisite-special plugin would get round that.
I am in wordpress land tonight fixing another plugin, so i might give a multisite another try.

Short term 2 options

Install Xerte Online Toolkits - it is mysql and PHP based so works on the same tech as WordPress

or

build all your XOT LOs on one single install and then use iframes to post them elsewhere - the shortcodes won't work though if you use them (on the basis the shortcode is an id number, not a url [have forgotten]).
