[Xerte-dev] Re: testing and tracking issues with XOT 1.8 beta

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi Pat

apologies for the delayed response but I wanted to test this on a pre 1.8
install to verify what happens...

 

In a pre 1.8 installation if I share an LO with another user when that user
clicks preview it loads preview.xml from my lo folder e.g.
USER-FILES/31-ronm-Nottingham/preview.xml?time=1334918728

 

In this current 1.8 beta if I share an LO with your account and then you try
to preview that LO it's looking at
USER-FILES/31-patrick.lockley at googlemail.com-Nottingham/preview.xml?time=133
4918794

 

So unless the way this works has changed (?) it seems like the preview code
is looking in the wrong place e.g. the shared user account rather than the
owner account. In the example below
USER-FILES/31-ronm-Nottingham/preview.xml exists but
USER-FILES/31-patrick.lockley at googlemail.com-Nottingham/preview.xml doesn't
but I'm not sure it should? Is the wrong username being passed somewhere?

 

Cheers

Ron

Is the file there?

Hi Pat
it seems I spoke to soon when saying the sharing functionality is fixed :-(
It is fixed in terms of owners are now able to share access with other users
but it seems those other users get an error when trying to preview the LO.
I've shared a very simple LO with your account (just has a title page) and
you'll see that when you try to preview you'll get the following errors:

Warning:
file_get_contents(USER-FILES/31-patrick.lockley at googlemail.com-Nottingham/da
ta.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/var/www/vle/xot/modules/xerte/preview.php on line 35 Warning:

Jonathan also reported the same issue with an LO I shared with quite a few
accounts and obviously this hasn't been a problem with previous versions. Is
it another mangle as a result of the svn merge? Is there a fix?

Cheers
Ron

Hi Pat
thanks for the code updates and regarding convention with the fields feel
free to change the category column or let me know what you feel they should
be.

I've uploaded your code updates and the project sharing is definitely fixed
now but I can't verify the management page fixes because the management.php
page is now showing a blank screen? Any ideas on that?

Ron

Could we get some convention with the fields - some stuff is PHP, some stuff
is referencing a page - it's a bit messed up.
