[Fay Cross]

Yes I'll send you a list in a bit - just finishing checking the last couple of page types

Fay has been through all the templates and made a list of issues:

Oh! Is this the list you referred too in another post?

It would be a big help if Fay has already identified which templates require updating with respect to tagging elements with the language attribute.

If you could let me have a list of the pages that need their xwd forms editing it would save me a load of time having to go through all of the pages.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Leave the folders, because then existing content (although I don't think there is very much) will still work.

I noted yesterday to make sure only the Toolkits and RSS feeds should be in the new build.

Can you attend to this please?

Fay has been through all the templates and made a list of issues: I'm going to work on as much as I can next week when I have some time: there are some that won't be easy for me to fix, so it would be good to have some help on the php stuff: I think the publish thing is the main one.

That giving templates issue Adam just mentioned would be good to fix as well.

The other area where there is quite a bit to do, is to put all those button label properties etc into the language or advanced or whatever it is checkbox. I'm surprised this wasn't done, I thought that's why I made those modifications to the engine? Am I missing something here?

This was my list of stuff that isn't related to templates:

Management.php
==============
Giving templates

Setup
=====
Documentation up to date?
Demo txt error on setup
Media Interactions and Multiple Perspectives still part of Xampp install - should be just the toolkit and rss feed (think this is just xampp)
Warn xampp users about losing work? Or migrate existing projects?

General
=======
Publish button and process doesn't seem quite right

Workspace
=========
Folder / nested content indented too far in the workspace, looks odd?
Deleting folder: prompt contains <IMG tag
Should we allow the user to force a folder delete when full of LOs?

Properties Panel
================
Export gives scrambled text .rlt file if not published. Can't we prevent export unless the file is published, or prompt the user to publish?
Exporting before publishing gives an LO with a scrambled title
Where do export files come from - are they updated with latest svn files?
Properties -> RSS feeds wrapping badly for the check boxes
Export JMOL folder?
Publish button in Publish panels.

Wizard
======
Click maximise window size in editor: can't minimise, seems to fire up publish process?
Maximise window prompts 'publish?'
Wizard: should optional properties be A-Z

I've just tested a fresh install using the latest svn code and multiple perspectives and media interactions are still active and shown on a new install - I'm guessing that \languages\en-GB\setup\basic.sql got replaced at some point without the change you made?

Also \modules\xerte\parent_templates still contains all of the following:
               biochemistry
               Draw
               GEN
               Hotspots
               mediaInteractions
               multipersp
               Nottingham
               Numcalc
               Pbl
               Presentation

Should some of these be removed?

I've done it for new installs. Old installs can keep them if they want...

Set active to 0 in originaltemplatedetails for those two templates.

I guess this can be changed in the .sql scripts for new installs and admin's of existing installs can change to inactive via the management page.

How to remove the two templates from the site? We don't need them anymore, though will leave the files in to support old projects, and over the top upgrades will still show them in the panel (I guess they are in the database somewhere?).

Multiple perspectives is now a page in the main template, and media Interactions has all its functionality available in the main template too.
