Johnathan, sorry, again, in the interests of 'fix your own bugs' please look at all the issues Fay logged against connector page types

In XOT on xampp I think (Fay works Weds - Fri)

I think the first bug listed under menu is the menu, rather than the connector page.

If you do the language option stuff for now, I'll look at the other stuff. In the interests of 'fix your own bugs' I might send an updated list for action with the owners of the various bits later,

Hello Fay and Julian,

I am about to start now on the xwd's to sort out the language items.

Can I clarify a few points

1.      Where your tests in XOT or Xerte?
2.      Menu Page - are you referring to the Menu option in XOT or the Connector Menu Page?
I'll raise any queries on anything else as I get to them.

All the Connector pages plus the Inventory Page offer some support to the learning object author. Originally this was set for each page individually by having an attribute in the xwd file for each page. However at Julian's request this was moved to a single attribute of the learning object xwd form "Add Author Support" which set a value for the authorSupport attribute.

If authorSupport was set to "true" then all Connector pages and Inventory pages in the project will display their authorSupport information.

If authorSupport is set to "true" and an individual page's optional property "Output Check List" is selected then depending on the value selected for this option a report will be output to the clipboard. Reference to "Developer Mode" in this option list is a left over from the earlier individual page setting. It should now read "Author Support only". I will fix that.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Johnathan,

I've attached the list of the bugs I've found from testing all the page types.  Actually, they're not all bugs - a lot of them are just things I think would improve the usability of them.

I've highlighted all the places where fields in the wizard need to be moved to Language Options so I think these are the only bits for you to look at.  Julian's working on the rest of the list so I don't know whether it will potentially get confusing with you both working on the xwd at the same time.

I've also added a few comments about the connector pages.  Only a couple of the comments are proper bugs, the rest are more aesthetic comments to make them more consistent with other pages.  It's not really for me to say if they need changing or not!  It was a quick test of these pages so you'll see if some places I couldn't work out what things were meant to do - I haven't time to do these pages very thoroughly.

Checking all these has made me realise just how many pages there are to recreate in the HTML5 version!

Fay
