Hi Ron,

Thanks for testing all this. Please try again, I inadvertently deleted some
style properties of the Flash web page.

Hi Tom

have tested some of this but not yet peer and export etc e.g. have tested
mostly the play options...

 

These seem to work well in all browsers e.g. setting/changing the default
using properties, using Ctrl + play and changing engine via url

Two odd things I've noticed but not 100% sure if these are due to these
particular changes:

 

1. There's now a white border around the Flash view of LO's (see screenshot
1 below) Not sure that's desirable.

 

2. In Firefox and IE (IE 10 in my case) Full screen and Fill Window seems to
be constrained vertically where it isn't using the full height. This is most
dramatic in Firefox. (see screenshots 2 & 3 below)

 

HTH

Screenshot 3 Fill Window IE 10

Everything has just been committed. This is a fairly large commit (758).
Don't forget to execute upgrade.php!! 

- Changed play.php (root) and modules/xerte/play.php and preview
- Make play_html5.php (root) and preview_html5.php (root) redirect to new
play
- Make use of the same template files as export does for the play and
preview
- Get rid of difference between rloObject.js used for play and used for
export
- Only one location for MainPreloader.swf and xmlEngine.swf (for play and
export, export used to copy it from a different location)
- Modified wizard to call preview.php with 'engine=other' when Ctr+Play is
clicked
- Make peer.php use the same templates as play and preview and implement for
javascript engine as well
- Move site to its own module dir
- Changed basic.sql
- updates upgrade.php

Some questions, before I commit,

1. Julian, do you already have a different name for 'site' or shall I commit
site for the moment?
2. Do we have consensus over the engine name? html5? javascript? xenith?

Now I have 'html5'  in the GUI, but 'javascript' in the code, because I
think that is better w.r.t. flash.

The major reason I ask is that if we want to create the play_html5_560
play_flash_560 (not sure that's a good idea, I prefer that people have to
put in a bit more effort to choose an engine different than the author
wanted, so play_560?engine=html5)

Still even if we leave it at the engine=.... what will we call the engines? 

I prefer flash/javascript

The play URL is now a sort of API

 

So rather than 

 

play.php?template_id=1&method=flash

 

You could have 

 

play.php?template_id=1&method=XML

 

Which just returns the XML

 

So you cold retire the XML page from the root folder (over time)

 

Now where this could get interesting is you could make an XML remote method
to change the file locations and host a single engine at site x, and
dynamically bring in content that way. A sort of xpert shop window

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

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
