Subject: [Xerte] Created folders are greyed out

When I create a folder it appears greyed out (see attached image). I can create new LO templates but no longer use the folders. Has anyone had a similar experience and/or can offer some advice.

I've checked the TechDis guides and searched online but could only find this reference to items being greyed out. Is this connected?

Q: When I create a new piece, the editor buttons are greyed out and disabled
A: You may need to set up new mime types on your server.
A: Your learning object failed to load - is the USER-FILES folder empty?

Thanks

Sue

I think there?s a 20Mb file size limit on the sandpit ? I can?t check for certain because Ron?s in a meeting all day but I seem to remember that?s the limit. Can you try importing a smaller one and that should show us for certain?

Hi,

I am having trouble importing a LO that I created in the previous sandpit to the new vle.jisctechdis site.  When I click on import and select the zipped file, I receive no message when I click upload.  It states that it is sending the request but then nothing happens?

I have managed to import another file to the new site, and I have tested uploading the current file back into the old sandpit to make sure there are no issues there.

Many thanks,
Emma
