[Xerte-dev] Re: Option 3

[Julian Tenney]

Do we need to have the option to 'convert to local links'. That, as we have demonstrated to ourselves, is not FWS.

Just been having another look at what we have right now and is on the test install. Why not stick with that and in that order but as Tom suggested last night replace option 3 with a checkbox e.g. convert to local links where possible?

Yep I think so - haven't checked if it converts a similar link added to the

browse for media field wrapped with '' but same thing anyway.

Ahh, I get it now, it's because the paths are different in toolkits than in

xerte.

As far as I can tell it does the opposite! Read my responses last night - it

changes any full url's to assets in the same lo to local links. Any urls to

things outside of the same lo remain full url's.



The option 1 export retains full url's regardless.

Trying to shed some light on that option 3 export: here's what I've been

able to find in my mail - there's a thread about it.



It seems we wanted to export and leave the media on the exporting server,

and then have the piece link to them and include them from there in some

situations. Is that what option 3 does? Generate an output with hardcoded

urls pointing back to the exporting server?

Hmm. Thinking it thorough a bit more, I'm not sure how we could easily make

that work. We can create relative paths, but those paths are different when

ran as a standalone exported piece than when ran in toolkits.



I suppose if you leave the full path in there, then the files will till get

served from the original server if there is connectivity.
