Maybe these are just xampp issues, maybe to do with the different setup?

Are you testing this on the Techdis test install or another install?

I just created a new project, added a graphics and sound page, clicked publish in the editor window, closed the editor, opened properties, exported deployment zip, extracted zip, opened index.php - played fine.

I then created another new project, added a graphics and sound page, clicked play but not publish in the editor window, closed the editor, got prompted whether to publish and selected yes, opened properties, exported deployment zip, extracted zip, opened index.php - played fine.

I noticed the google doc mentioning export not working on a xampp install - obviously the techdis install isn't xampp. I'll test on my xampp install shortly.

Sounds like a logic fail in the code (will check at lunch)

Back to that publishing thing: if a project is private, I see a greyed out publish button: if I set it to publics, there's no button

no, when you publish it creates a copy of data.xml in the folder for that project in USER-FILES

This needs looking at. If I create a LO, add a page, preview, and quit the wizard, I get prompted to publish. I say 'yes'.

Then export fails.

Erm, silly question time, but when I click the publish button, I get this form: but there is no 'publish' button? So how do I publish it?

I think you fix it by making sure you publish the project before exporting... (just a guess)

Same goes for all the export options. Tom, how do I fix this?

I make a simple project, graphics and sound page: looks like this:

Export a deployment zip, I get this:

Not good. We need to test everything again now, please, I need everyone's help, because if we start deploying stuff with problems it's just going to be a massive PITA for everyone, and we'll lose people.
