I'll install it next week, then we should start making a list of bugs etc.

Tom, do you want to commit the files, it sounds like you're pretty close now?

:-( sorry my mistake.

Ok continued progress...

Creating templates now works!
Changing engine via properties now works even with IE10!
Play by default for new projects is html 5
Ctrl clicking play changes to Flash preview
Tested on both a local xampp upgraded install and a clean remote Centos install.

I do still get the odd problem that when creating a new LO the workspace title and button label change to index_ as shown below
[cid:image001.jpg at 01CE3788.4F13CA20]
[cid:image002.jpg at 01CE3788.4F13CA20]
This happens when deleting a project too.

BTW I meant to say previously when selecting recycle bin to click delete and totally empty the bin the the styles of the buttons e.g. delete don't change to enabled state even though it does work.

Hi Tom
is that from \modules\xerte\ ?
I've replaced that file and tried in both Chrome and IE but still get the error e.g.

http://localhost/xertetoolkits_new_svn/edit.php?template_id=FAILED-Failed%20to%20create%20new%20template%20record%20for%20the%20database%20INSERT%20INTO%20templatedetails%20(template_id<http://localhost/xertetoolkits_new_svn/edit.php?template_id=FAILED-Failed%20to%20create%20new%20template%20record%20for%20the%20database%20INSERT%20INTO%20templatedetails%20%28template_id>

Just about to test a new clean install so will let you know if that's any different.

Ron,

Found a bug in the following file:

website_code\php\templates\new_template.php

Please see attached. This should enable creating new LO's again.

I can toggle between html5/flash in IE9, haven't got IE10 (yet) let you know a.s.a.p.

It's very easy to implement with the scheme we have now. But I propse to do that in the next round. For example, I didn't get rid f the lay_html5.php in the root just yet, but implemented it using the 'normal' play.

So let's do this for 2.1 and also have some tme to put a mechanism in place to make url's deprecated.

And so, you would use for example an app, that would interpret that xml?

If your question is, did I consider XML as a play option, the answer is NO. If, on the other hand, you ask me, whether I can add an xml play option, the answer is yes, easily, no problems whatsoever. And I am left with a question.... why?

At the moment XML is a link option for XOT files, but all it does is return the XML.

As we now have different methods for displaying content for a module, XML could be one of those?

If it was my applying of the patch didn't work because that's not in the patched or exported code yet it is in basic.sql

Strange.

Upgrade should give you an extra column on templatedetails called extra_flags.

Cheers got it!


I'm not sure if anyone else has tried this yet but not quite working for me...


1. Applied patch to local copy of svn code
2. Exported patched version
3. Dropped over a localhost test install


I can see new options in the properties panel e.g. what is the default engine to use for this project with Javascript (a.k.a. HTML5) ticked
But I can't untick that or tick the flash option
When following the flash and html5 links I get an empty wondow
and when trying to create a new LO I get an empty window with failed to create new template


I ran upgrade.php but there doesn't seem to be anything new in there?

As an addition:

Now you can just use play.php&template_id=4 (or play_4). It will show :
1. if the template_frame=xerte  in the engine set by the user
2. if the template_frame is site using modules/site/play.php

Also, you can use play.php&template_id=4&engine=flash or play.php&template_id=4&engine=javascript to force a specific engine.

Some is true for preview.

You can also use engine=other (this is used by the wizard when Ctlr+Play is pressed)

I have to do the same for peer.php, but first would like some feedback ;-)

Almost finished.

I didn't change anything yet to modularize the properties page

- Changed play.php (root) and modules/xerte/play.php and preview
- Made play_html5.php (root) redirect to new play
- Make use of the same template files as export does for the play and preview
- Make wizard toggle the engine on Ctrl-click
- Move site to its own module dir
