From Alistair.McNaught at HEAcademy.ac.uk Mon Dec 2 08:51:47 2013 From: Alistair.McNaught at HEAcademy.ac.uk (Alistair McNaught) Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2013 08:51:47 +0000 Subject: [Xerte] Accessible media player? Message-ID: Hi everybody, I had this query come into the community site recently. It seems that the player for embedded YouTube clips is not accessible without using a mouse. Is there anything that we can improve this within the Xerte toolkits or is it a YouTube issue? This is the query I had. Any light you can shed on it would be very welcome On an embedded YouTube clip we couldn't focus on the play button. To get around this, could we set the YouTube to autoplay on load? I can't get '?autoplay=1' to work within Xerte (I'm also aware that I've read about this recently but can't find it or remember the outcome.)

That only seemed to happen in IE and the non-youtube page types but varied by version and pc etc. For example your XOT LO and the bootstrap LO all work fine for me with IE10 e.g. can tab and play via keyboard and don't get the problem with unintended full screen. I don't have time to test with all browsers right now but I think the only reliable guidance for end users really is to try a different browser if the one you are using has problems. There are so many variables here that to list every conceivable combination of browsers, version, page types etc would be too confusing a list. More importantly so variable as to be un-reliable.

Is there anything that we can improve this within the Xerte toolkits or is it a YouTube issue? This is the query I had. Any light you can shed on it would be very welcome On an embedded YouTube clip we couldn't focus on the play button. To get around this, could we set the YouTube to autoplay on load?

Anyway, would be interested in what you have done with the parts/modules html menu and specifically any core files that you have changed that could back you into another corner... if I know in detail what you are trying to do then we can perhaps make it easier to add hook points into the xenith core allowing you to keep the majority of your code out of the core files meaning that they can more easily be updated in the future... For information, what I'm planning to is not that complicated. We'll be creating a XENITH closure around all the xenith code and then using built in jQuery magic to do the event handling. I was going to write something that could have got complicated but jQuery internally handles most of what we are trying to do so we can build on that... What this means is that we will be doing something like: XENITH.events.on('pageLoaded', function () { alert('page loaded'); }); To bind to events and the xenith core will be periodically firing off events like XENITH.events.trigger('pageLoaded'); I've created a jsfiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/CYBLP/1/) which demonstrates the simplicity of this method and that you can have multiple events on each and they will fire in turn... The plan would be that the menu page would load, hook into these events and as they fire, we get the pageID and tick that off from a list. This could be automatically generated too when an XMLLoaded event fires or something...

This error message is in 'EDIT.PHP' and the trigger is on Line 234 as below in pink/yellow. It appears that the LO I'm trying to edit does not have 'Editable=True' set, however this problem is intermittent and only appears occaisonally. For instance, this morning I logged in as per usual and got the error (windows did multiple updates last night, not sure if that had any effect). Then I logged in as another user and it went away, when I logged in as the original user it was OK and the error did not appear. I'm not good with PHP, can anyone tell me in plain language what this error is telling me, and when it happens how I might be able to overcome it? Thanks!

We'll categorize that error as related to sunspot activity and hope it disappears in XOT2. To try to answer your question John the menu (graphic below) is html/js and inserted via a flash page. It reads the parts/module names from a database array, then turns on / off part and module marks as the user progresses, and updates the database. I'm afraid I don't really understand your events and how we might be able to use them. Right now a connector page brings you back from a 'module' (just a sequence of pages) to the main menu, but we're looking for a more elegant way to navigate. If we use PageID to code the 'start of module' pages then the menu will know (if Part 2 Module 3 is clicked, for example) to go to PageID=P2M3P1 (part 2 module 3 page 1), and so on. So I think we can navigate to the first page of each 'module' by coding the PageID as long as it doesn't change. The more awkward issue at this point is coming back from the last page in a module (how do we tag it as such??) to the menu. Right now we can use an extra 'embed content' page as the end of page of each module to send it back to the menu, but that means another empty page just with script at the end of each module. Is it possible with your events to add specific script coding to each page? Could we tag a page as 'EOM' (end of module) and on the unload event navigate back to the menu? Sorry but I'm not understanding how we might be able to use the page events, or your suggestion below: The plan would be that the menu page would load, hook into these events and as they fire, we get the pageID and tick that off from a list. This could be automatically generated too when an XMLLoaded event fires or something. Thanks RonM2 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For example the mcq page may pass data about the page status - completed etc... You can either define a custom page ID structure (Section1Page3 etc) and parse that or define a lookup table (something like {'Section 1':[1, 5], 'Section 2':[6,12] etc etc) and then use that and the page numbers... Whatever is required can be exposed...

If you haven't done that then Moodle isn't the cause of your problem unless it's permissions on the xerte folder inside the moodle folder. How did you put the xerte folder in place? Are all the files and subdirectories it contains in place? e.g. do they match what you see locally if you extract the xerte zip?

If you haven't done that then Moodle isn't the cause of your problem unless it's permissions on the xerte folder inside the moodle folder. How did you put the xerte folder in place? Are all the files and subdirectories it contains in place? e.g. do they match what you see locally if you extract the xerte zip? I'm afraid I'm about to go offline for a few hours so will have to leave others to help.

I don't think that this is related to the flash cookie bug (session issue) however since it doesn't work in IE (which has never shown this problem). It is only usually Firefox and Safari that have that issue... Can you edit and save the LOs and then exit and go back and edit the LO where you left off? If so then your sessions should be working fine. Try adding a few pages and then adding a PageLink (highlight some text and right click on it). My first suspicion is that it is some kind of mod security filtering, possibly the "302 found" issue again, see page 10 of that forum posting.... Due to the multitude of different server setups, it can be a difficult one to track down so please bear with us...

I'm not going to accurately add up the cost of the paid tools/apps - that would be too scary! ;-) What I will say as it might be useful when considering tablet apps etc is that I hear lot's of people question the worth of apps in the ?3 to ?10 range because they seem relatively pricey in comparison to the free or cheaper alternatives. However in my experience when you dig a little deeper the one-off costs compare very favourably when compared to the monthly or annual renewal of SaaS type tools. Favourite tablet app: ExplainEverything Favourite FOSS app: XOT ;-) Favorite Cloud app: Google Apps I personally wouldn't be without Snagit and Camtasia Studio but neither are free! Although I believe there is now a free snagit for Chrome OS users.

After rereading, I assume you have two issues. 1. Upload doesn't work in IE and Firefox, but it does work in Chrome 2. Authentication doesn't work in IE and firefox, but it seems to work in Chrome. You mention that issue 2. bothers you the most, so let's conecntrate on that first: a. The error is a php exception, so I would really be surprised, if this works in any browser. Could you please verify that the ?ntegration_config_path in the sitedetqails table contains the full path to your moddle config file, i.e. /srv/www/htdocs/moodle2/config.php You can check this directly in mysql, or browse to management.php: Than check again. If that doesn't work, please verify auth_config.php. If that still doesn't work, plase post the auth_config.php file.

I've been using Xerte for the last 3 months or so and I'm really excited by its apparent potential - thanks to all you folks who work so hard to develop it! I've made a few objects, mainly interactive quizzes, to support students revision of my course material and help them to construct their understanding. It was easy enough to get started using the on-line guides and build the first object, but once it was ready I didn't have a clue how to make it available to students - I'd never heard of SCORM or localhost or all that stuff before - and couldn't find any guidance on what to do next. I haven't tried to put voice or video into the latest version of Xerte but my attempts with the previous one were a complete failure (can it be done if I don't speak HTML?) and I feel that I am by no means realising the full potential of the programme. I think it would be wonderful to have some more on-line guides that would help those of us who are less computer literate users to get that bit further and potentially would open up the programme to a wider range of users who might lack confidence. Or do I need to persuade my institution to support the software? Many thanks Basil Wolf Dr Basil T.

I've been using Xerte for the last 3 months or so and I'm really excited by its apparent potential - thanks to all you folks who work so hard to develop it! I've made a few objects, mainly interactive quizzes, to support students revision of my course material and help them to construct their understanding. It was easy enough to get started using the on-line guides and build the first object, but once it was ready I didn't have a clue how to make it available to students - I'd never heard of SCORM or localhost or all that stuff before - and couldn't find any guidance on what to do next. I haven't tried to put voice or video into the latest version of Xerte but my attempts with the previous one were a complete failure (can it be done if I don't speak HTML?) and I feel that I am by no means realising the full potential of the programme. I think it would be wonderful to have some more on-line guides that would help those of us who are less computer literate users to get that bit further and potentially would open up the programme to a wider range of users who might lack confidence. Or do I need to persuade my institution to support the software? Many thanks Basil Wolf Dr Basil T.

Can anyone offer any advice on how to rectify this please?

After rereading, I assume you have two issues. 1. Upload doesn't work in IE and Firefox, but it does work in Chrome 2. Authentication doesn't work in IE and firefox, but it seems to work in Chrome. You mention that issue 2. bothers you the most, so let's conecntrate on that first: a. The error is a php exception, so I would really be surprised, if this works in any browser. Could you please verify that the ?ntegration_config_path in the sitedetqails table contains the full path to your moddle config file, i.e. /srv/www/htdocs/moodle2/config.php You can check this directly in mysql, or browse to management.php: Than check again. If that doesn't work, please verify auth_config.php. If that still doesn't work, plase post the auth_config.php file.

My IT group seems to think that Chrome is just more standards compliant (whatever that means), Here is my setup: System: Linux a305lv002 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 LMS - Moodle 2.5.2 Moodle authentication - Apache2 Winbind Xerte online toolkit (latest version) is installed inside of my moodle diectory I am assuming this is a session error of some sort, I cannot get xerte to acknowledge any authentication ( I really do not care if I stay a guest user, but our corporate browser is IE) authentication_method = 'Moodle'; //$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Ldap'; //$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Db'; //$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Static'; $xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = "Moodle"; No matter what method I try, I get this error So I am either looking for a way to pass the authentication, or reset the session, I'm not sure, looking for guidance. Or do I just need to only use Chrome, since that works?

With regard to your upload issues, what version of IE and Firefox and Moodle are you using? Also, is this a brand new download of XOT v2.1? Also, are you able to look in the management.php logs to see if you can see a CRITICAL - Session not found during file upload error? IE shouldn't have this issue but I suupose if it's the latest version then some change to the browser string could be causing this...

With regard to your upload issues, what version of IE and Firefox and Moodle are you using? Also, is this a brand new download of XOT v2.1? Also, are you able to look in the management.php logs to see if you can see a CRITICAL - Session not found during file upload error? IE shouldn't have this issue but I suupose if it's the latest version then some change to the browser string could be causing this...

And then try Moddle authentication again? Tom Monroe.J.George at jci.com schreef op 18-12-2013 17:23: Tom, #1 is a true statement "1. Upload doesn't work in IE and Firefox, but it does work in Chrome" Authentication does not work in any browser (only guest user works) Integration to config is; (Moodle) /var/www/environmental/config.php Root file path: /var/www/environmental/xertetoolkit/ [cid:_1_0B3536300B352D74004A8A6285257C46] The auth_config.php file is exactly the way it was at install. Any modifications to it gives the same error as this. Leaving it as guest is the only option that will work. [cid:_1_0B353A540B352D74004A8A6285257C46] John, I reviewed and tried each different proposed solution, but still no joy, http://xerte.org.uk/index.php?option=com_kunena&view=topic&catid=4&id=80&Itemid=759&lang=en&limitstart=0 Can you edit and save the LOs and then exit and go back and edit the LO where you left off? If so then your sessions should be working fine. Yes, I can edit, save, exit and go back in to edit where it left off. So it must not be a session problem.

After rereading, I assume you have two issues. 1. Upload doesn't work in IE and Firefox, but it does work in Chrome 2. Authentication doesn't work in IE and firefox, but it seems to work in Chrome. You mention that issue 2. bothers you the most, so let's conecntrate on that first: a. The error is a php exception, so I would really be surprised, if this works in any browser. Could you please verify that the ?ntegration_config_path in the sitedetqails table contains the full path to your moddle config file, i.e. /srv/www/htdocs/moodle2/config.php You can check this directly in mysql, or browse to management.php: [cid:_4_0B3551780B352D74004A8A6285257C46] Than check again. If that doesn't work, please verify auth_config.php. If that still doesn't work, plase post the auth_config.php file. Tom Monroe.J.George at jci.com schreef op 16-12-2013 22:08: Do I assume that no one has a solution to the Apache2 Winbind authentication, I can deal with the browser issues by just mandating using Chrome 31 to all of my peers to create the LO, but would really like to work though the authentication.

My IT group seems to think that Chrome is just more standards compliant (whatever that means), [cid:_1_0B33F0680B352D74004A8A6285257C46] Here is my setup: System: Linux a305lv002 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 LMS - Moodle 2.5.2 Moodle authentication - Apache2 Winbind Xerte online toolkit (latest version) is installed inside of my moodle diectory I am assuming this is a session error of some sort, I cannot get xerte to acknowledge any authentication ( I really do not care if I stay a guest user, but our corporate browser is IE) authentication_method = 'Moodle'; //$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Ldap'; //$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Db'; //$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Static'; $xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = "Moodle"; No matter what method I try, I get this error [cid:_1_0B33FAB40B352D74004A8A6285257C46] So I am either looking for a way to pass the authentication, or reset the session, I'm not sure, looking for guidance. Or do I just need to only use Chrome, since that works?

If for any reason they are not on same system then if there are no quizzes or tracking isn't employment then the 'deployment' option works best. This can be uploaded to Moodle and then link to the index file. If you want/need tracking then go for the lower scorm option, then upload as a scorm object.

Can you please help, if possible? Message-ID: Hello all. First of all, I'd like to apologize if I'm using the wrong method of posting this "comment", but after attempting to navigate the site for Xerte I was so confused by the architectural choices and lack of direction when you are looking for specific answers, that at 4:20 a.m. I have finally given up! I am very impressed with what I am learning about Xerte Online Services. I became alerted to them as I was looking for a WordPress Plugin with which I could do the following things: Build a series of Courses containing Individual Lessons within, and possibly even creating another level below that to break up the Course/Lesson structure a bit more cleanly. Brand my Courses, Lessons, etc. with my own company's Branding - including logo, colours, fonts, etc. Incorporate multiple forms of media elements, including: Photography Slideshow and/or (preferably) Keynote Presentations In-house produced Video Assets, and if they MUST be hosted on some inferior platform like YouTube, then at least the knowledge that Vimeo integration is VERY CLOSE BEHIND. YouTube is just really crappy in quality, in how they self-brand so obviously and pervasively (they are trying to pull YOUR visitors to YOUR site watching the video YOU placed there back to THEIR OWN YOUTUBE SITE. That is hardly my ideal vision for either building up my own following (because YouTube is luring them away with their "suggested videos to watch" at the end of every video). Vimeo, on the other hand, DOES do their own marketing on the player, but it isn't as pervasive - and the quality of the image is, hands down, far superior to the crappy image streaming out of YouTube. And yes, I'm a 15-year Video Professional Veteran (Bachelor's and MFA in Video Production) so I guess I have a lot to say when a company has chosen to partner with a company that delivers an inferior product to support their own; all it does is diminish THIS product in the eye of many beholders. At least this beholder. Images in all kind of formats - I like to use a lot of multimedia when I construct classes: .pdf .jpg .pnr .tiff .mov .mp3 .m4v .wav .pages .numbers .key .xls .doc And this one might just be the most important of all? I need a plugin or program that works with HTML5 for Video playback - and absolutely NOT flash, I can't believe that there are still developers out there who are integrating Flash as a core component of their device's functionality - when these properties definitely will not work on Apple products. And I'm sorry if you're an Android or Galaxy fan - but those products just don't compare to the iPad or the iPhone and about 80% of my prospects all us Apple products on the go, so it would not make any sense for me to use a product that cannot be used on an Apple device. I need to restrict access to courses based upon payments. There's lot's of WordPress plugins that I was looking at the Xerte Online Service because it seems so well designed, so well thought out, so well attended - but just certain issues scare the bejeezus out of me when I think about it working in real time. So, does ANYONE have any ideas as to what direction this plugin is heading and if any of the above functionalities are on the way or if they're working on them - or even if you have an alternative WordPress Plugin that would be able to handle the above requirements. As I stated, I would really LOVE to use this plugin - it just has to be able to do certain specific things? Best, Darren. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Can you please help, if possible? In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Dear Darren, I wrote the plugin as a port of the Xerte Online Toolkits. 1) The plugin produces learning objects, it doesn't per say do courses 2) You can style a Xerte Object, there is guidance on how to do so in the XOT archive 3) Video can be hosted anywhere, the Youtube page is just to make it easy for people to add Youtube videos if they want to 4) The plugin uses flash at present, since XOT 2.0 - Xerte LO's can work without flash now, but the WordPress plugin hasn't been updated to this 5) It doesn't control access to pages based on user status You'd be better off installing XOT, as it can do most of what you want. I don't make any money from the plugin, and I don't have any distinct plans to change it. It was developed so people with WordPress installs could use XOT, which is what it does. XOT has moved on with the HTML 5 player option, but the plugin hasn't. I have a lot of other work to get through before I'd revisit the plugin - so it is unlikely to change in the next 4-5 months (if at all) The code is complete open source (on WordPress's SVN and Github) should you wish to change it.

This is the section where courses are deleted. Since my customizations use a SQL Server dbase to also store info on the courses, I want run a script to make sure that the course(s) to be deleted are not assigned to students. First I need to get the ?templateID? of the course, but not sure how to do that, I?m not good with js. Does anyone know if I can pull the ?templateID? of the course(s) that have been clicked in the workspace delete window at this point? I?m wondering if the document object contains the templateID(s) at this point and if so what syntax I?d use to get them. Next, any suggestion on what is socially acceptable to js in terms of running a query on my SQL Server database to see if students are currently assigned? Thanks for any suggestions RonM2 //RGM if workspace folder selected and delete clicked: if(document.getElementById("folder_workspace").mainhighlight){ alert("You cannot delete the Workspace folder"); } }else{ //RGM if more than one workspace course is selected and delete clicked: if(drag_manager.selected_items.length!=1){ var response = confirm("Are you sure you with to delete these items?"); }else{ //RGM if a single workspace course is selected and delete clicked: var response = confirm("Are you sure you with to delete this item?"); } -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have both 'stageSize' and 'defaultSize' set to 1024,768 in the Learning Object icon, but it consistently opens to around 800,600. Once the window is dragged open to the right size it stays that way until you shut down completely and start again. I don't see a way to force that opening window to the right size.
