Message-ID: <016101d0b82a$f4077110$dc165330$@co.uk> Hi following a discussion and question from Alistair just wondering about this and not thinking straight :-( Is there's a way to add some script in source view (notts template xerte 3) to embed an mp4 in any page or nested page with a filelocation link, rather than full url, and have the video display with the player controls and also crucially still work when exported for offline use without an online connection? e.g. rather than adding an optional video property to each navigator page, like there is an optional image property in the navigators, I'm wondering if there's a way to fire the media player and pass a file name uploaded to the media folder all via script so that this could work on any page? I guess longer term a custom button in the editor, like the one for Flash or online media, might be the answer but wondering about a quick cheat via script? Any suggestions? Fay - where did you get to with the combined Navigator including video in sub pages? Is that for a future release or for Xerte 3 final?

This is a significant release in several ways: it is our first release as an Apereo Community project and marks our graduation from the incubation process, and it is also our first release as an affiliate member of the Open Source Initiative - we are very proud to of both of these achievements, which clearly establish The Xerte Project as both a sustainable and robust project. The Apereo community provides exciting opportunities for the project to grow and develop in the future. This release also ends our previous dependence on the flash player and introduces a very powerful new editor for authoring projects. Xerte Online Toolkits 3.0 also comes with a number of new templates, a new look and feel, a much improved interface and a wealth of smaller fixes an enhancements. For an overview of the new features, see the release notes at http://goo.gl/KjJdOk. My thanks go to everyone who has contributed to this release - it's a brilliant effort, and a massive step forward. Best wishes, Julian [with apologies for any cross posting] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However, when trying to do this nothing uploads. Can anyone advise of a different format or if there is a specific format that I need to save my document as before uploading? I am not an IT technician but try to use Xerte in creating staff development tools. For this reason please respond in very simple terms? Thank you.

You can include files by following these steps: 1. Select your project in the Workspace and click Properties. The project properties window will open. 2. Select the Media & Quota tab. 3. Upload the file you want to use in your project (Click browse, select your file and then click Import). Your file will appear in a list which will also include all other files you have uploaded to your project (images etc.) 4. Select the file from the list to see a URL to the file (it will be something along these lines http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/USER-FILES/100-Nottingham/media/myFile.pdf) 5. Select and copy this link 6. Close the properties panel and edit your project You then have a couple of choices about how to show this in your project: Embed the file on a page: 1. Insert an Embed Content page (insert > Navigators > Embed Content) 2. Paste your link into the Embed Code or URL field Insert as link: Use the following code in a text field on any page to create a link that will open your file in a new window: Link Text Here I hope this helps Fay From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of David Price Sent: 30 July 2015 09:48 To: 'xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk' Subject: [Xerte] Flash Paper Hi All, I've been trying to add a document to a new LO; which having read up on appears to require that I use Flash Paper format.
