[Xerte-dev] Re: Export Code (commit of fixes)

Thu May 10 14:31:56 BST 2012

Do we need to add some wording to  make this easy to understand: I might not know what 'with references to local files altered' means, so it might read:

---------------------------------------
There are several ways to export a project. An exported project is packaged, but not deleted, into a zip file for you to share with another user, to deploy on the web, or to import into a SCORM compliant LMS or VLE. You can choose whether to export all of the project's files, or just those files used by the project. [Need some explanation around option 3 here].

Export   Zip Archive with all media files from the project
                Zip Archive with just the media files used in the project
                Zip archive suitable for yadda yadda yadda

If you want to export a SCORM package, you can choose to export SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004 packages. If you don't know which version of SCORM you need, the SCORM 1.2 package will work in most LMS and VLE systems.

Export   Scorm 1.2 Package
                Scorm 2004 Package.
---------------------------------------

Happy for any ideas / refinements? Also I can't remember what the point of option 3 was..? I'll see if I can find anything in my mail...

Difference between zip and local? Ehmmm... That's what I asked you guys

last week... :-)

I'll make a quick page first, then we can at least test the

functionality. UI shouldn't be that big of a problems afterwards. Agree?

Sorry, whats the difference between local and zip?

Otherwise, yes merge the two 1.2 exports.

I like the idea of a drop down list to select which one.

No, didn't do anything since last time yet. Current state is that there

are 5 exports:

Zip : will only export used media and will export jMolViewer and/or

mapstraction when used. Will not export the viewer because I need to

look at that.

Local zip: Same but with some changes to the urls

SCORM 1.2

SCORM 1.2 with extra meta data

SCORM 2004

As far as I can tell we can bundle the two SCORM exports. (Always use

SCORM with extra MetaData)

I don't want to see this splinter into a complicated page with loads of options. Ideally there might be some code that loops over each filename and sees if it exists anywhere in the xml and then exports it: that would cover hyperlinks too, and the user only has one option.

Otherwise we start ending up with a  slightly baffling local? Scorm? Scorm 2004? Full? Minimal? Deployment? When people just want to get something out.

Are these changes on the test server now?

That's why I proposed a small(er) Deployment Export and a Full export,

The Deployment export would be a new choice. That started the

export/download discussion.

Hi

Only just catching up on discussions that I couldn't follow on Thurs&

Friday...

Personally I think export/download whatever it's called should include all

the media in the media folder not just used media. The reason being

sometimes files are uploaded via media and quota to simply link to via text

hyperlink (and that hyperlink might even be in a linked document rather than

a xerte page) or when trying different content as part of a particular page

or project, so just because these show as not used doesn't mean they might

not be required or used in future. I know that links like this might not

work in the exported project but I think an author naturally assumes that

export includes all their media and if it's a matter of reducing size they

can delete unwanted media via media&    quota before exporting. e.g. owner

should control what's exported and the reason for exporting might simply be

as a backup of the whole project.

I just committed an update to the export code:

Fixes and additions for export

     - Should copy all the language .xml files from the top of the /language

folder

     - Should enable scorm2004 compliant export

     - Should copy JMolViewer and/or mapstraction folders if and only if those

models are used

     - Should ONLY export the used media, the rest is not copied

     - small fixes in htaccess.conf

     - small fixes in library/Xerte/Authentication/Db.php

     - get rid of superfuous scorm files

     - move MainPreloader.swf, rloObject.js and resources.swf out of scorm in

in their own folder (modules/xerte/export)

I wonder whether we should prevent exporting the thumbs folder as well...

David (Goodwin), I used the Db method and had to fix two typos. Comitted

thos as well. BTW, with the current code it is NOT that easy to set a

password in the database... ;-)

conflict.

Tom, could you check the rewrite rules work - worried the scorm ones

might have hungry regexs?
