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

Have committed that small mod.
As far as I can tell option 3 works like this...
I upload a file via properties > media & quota and copy that full url link
I then add that link to a text area of the same LO somewhere
export options 1. and 2. include the file in the exported media folder but
the link to the file added via media & quota remain full url links
export option 3 changes the link to the file added via media and quota to
FileLocation + 'media/filename' rather than full url.
I also wondered what happens if the linked file was added to a different lo
and in that case the export retains the full url so I guess the code must
check for the LO ID or something and only convert the links to local links
if the same lo.
However I'm not sure whether it's just my install of Xerte but at the moment
there seems to be a problem when trying to edit an LO exported with option 2
and 3. If I double click the .rlt xerte fires up but then automatically
minimises and can't be restored e.g. can't edit the file. The same lo
exported with option 1 edits just fine.
In testing all this I also found another bug - when uploading via properties
> media & quota the uploaded file doesn't appear even though it is uploaded.
I'll add these issues to the Google doc.

Please do. We still need to figure out what option 3 is doing.... :-)

That looks good to me but I'd be inclined to add a return between each link
just so it's less easy to click the wrong link by mistake.

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?
Op 9-5-2012 11:53, Julian Tenney schreef:
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... ;-)
