[Xerte-dev] Re: Export and first go at new way of Tracking

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi Tom
seems to work fine now!
I was able to export and test all three deployment and archive options e.g.
html 5 only, flash only and both for archive and deployment. I notice that
with the archive option both models and common folders are included even
when selecting only html5 or only Flash but that's a minor point and maybe
even desirable. Good that the same thing doesn't apply with deployment
though unless both options are checked.

I haven't tested the scorm options yet but will do at some point. In your
original message about this did you say that the quiz tracking won't
currently work?

HTH
Cheers
Ron

Ron,

I had some (unrelated) issues with my server, so couldn't fix the problem
with the checkboxes.
Fix is committed now. (Didn't have the time to test extensively)
