[Xerte-dev] Re: new release of Windows Xerte (Was: any updated code to add to the test server?)

How do I see an example of 1? Not sure what you mean...

For 2 I'm not sure either: I guess we need to expose it on the LO properties, but there is already a 'language' property that configures the soft keyboard for 'funny' characters. The trouble with that is that the LO might well be written in English, but includes French exercises, so the language would be set to French, even though the authoring language was English.

Maybe we just need to define 'authorLanguage' and use that?

I can't think of any other way, can you?

I created a separate  topic for the Windows version...

I will generate a new beta in 15 minutes.

two things need to happen (as far as I am concerned)
 - I can't get the translation into the two checkboxes (advanced etc in the wizard. Don't know why)
 - I need a way to put the editor in the correct language mode if you open an existing LO that was created with a different language mode than.

Don't know exactly what the easiest way is to do 2. Obviously we need to add a way to store the selected language in the xml of the LO, and than act on that when opening the LO in Xerte.

How long do you reckon you need to get those enhancements into the codebase? I'd quite like them to go in this release if that's manageable. On the other hand I'd like to get this release done asap: we want to upgrade our installation here to the latest code, because some of the requests we've had from people here are only in the new build; also, we have the Xenith project up and running and want to release the HTML5 stuff in October when that ends: I'd prefer not to have two releases very close together, I'd prefer to get this finished and on the web site soon.

Are we in a position to release a updated Xerte for Windows? That would be a good first step.

Hi all
just a quick note to say after today I won't have access to add any new code/files to the test installation until next weekend. So if anyone is working on any changes/updates that you wish to be tested during the coming week please commit to the XOT svn today.

I did do some experimentation with regards to moving all the authentication adaptor configuration into the setup process; but it probably needs some more thought (e.g. quite what should a database authenticator ask for - username/hostname/password/table name/field name(s) etc?).
