I'm not sure John. 

I guess most of the time that would be redundant because it's the author
view of properties of an LO but I suspect your asking for when it's a shared
project. Not sure if creator ID get's changed when changed by someone other
than creator or if the modifier ID get's stored elsewhere and tracks
modifications.

Oh and is it possible to show ".was created on 2013-02-11 by XXXXX" and
similar for the modified line?

Hi all

I've been testing Julian's new site stuff and wanted to test a way of
changing the links displayed in properties when viewing properties with a
site LO selected. I have this working locally after adding the additional
links to url_library.php and then using a case statement to check for
project name in properties_library.php

However I don't want to risk the wrath of the cave! ;-)

Is there a better/elegant/more future proof way to do this?

In properties_library.php I've added a switch checking for template name and
if it's 'site' show just the play_site link but if it's not site by default
show the flash and html 5 links that we see now. The links obviously come
from url_library.php. Here's the relevant code in site
properties_library.php:

$query_name_response = mysql_query($query_for_template_name);

        $row_name = mysql_fetch_array($query_name_response);

                              switch($row_name['template_name']){

                                             case "site": 

                                             echo "<p><a target=\"new\"
href='" . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url . url_return("play_site",
$_POST['template_id']) . "'>" . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url .
url_return("play_site", $_POST['template_id']) . "</a></p>";

break;

                                             default: 

                                             echo "<p>" .
PROPERTIES_LIBRARY_PROJECT_LINK . "</p>";

        echo "<p><a target=\"new\" href='" . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url
. url_return("play", $_POST['template_id']) . "'>" .
$xerte_toolkits_site->site_url . url_return("play", $_POST['template_id']) .
"</a></p>";

                              echo "<p>" .
PROPERTIES_LIBRARY_PROJECT_HTML5_LINK . "</p>";

                              echo "<p><a target=\"new\" href='" .
$xerte_toolkits_site->site_url . url_return("play_html5",
$_POST['template_id']) . "'>" . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url .
url_return("play_html5", $_POST['template_id']) . "</a></p>";

                              $temp_string =
get_template_screen_size($row_name['template_name'],
$row_name['template_framework']);

        $temp_array = explode("~",$temp_string);

        echo "<br><br><p>" . PROPERTIES_LIBRARY_PROJECT_IFRAME .
"</p><form><textarea rows='3' cols='40' onfocus='this.select()'><iframe
src='"  . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url .  url_return("play",
$_POST['template_id']) .  "' width='" . $temp_array[0] . "' height='" .
$temp_array[1] . "' frameborder=\"0\" style=\"float:left; position:relative;
top:0px; left:0px; z-index:0;\"></></iframe></textarea></form>";

break;                   

                              }}}

and here's what a site template and other/Notts template shows:

I think I can hear rumblings from the cave already :-(

BY all means. There is no hurry, though. Now we have the temaplte working I
toolkits we can i) decide how far we want to take it; ii) sort all this
other stuff out.

That worked...

changed name to site

parent_templates/site/site.rlt

created a new project

preview_site and play_site both work.

Do you want me to have a look at displaying the correct play link in
properties? Also .htaccess additions?

Tried that but no joy.

Renamed in the db as bootstrap and then changed /parent_templates/site to
parent_templates/bootstrap and now it works.

Probably better though to find out why it wouldn't work via
parent_templates/site/site.rlt oh just thinking perhaps I needed to create a
new project after that change...

Looks like the code uses the name from the originaltemplatedetails table in
the db. Changes that to site and then it looks for
/xot19/modules/xerte/parent_templates/site/site.rlt any reason not to rename
bootstrap.rlt to site.rlt?

Turned on debugging... something in the code still looking for the bootstrap
folder?

Warning:
file_get_contents(/xot19/modules/xerte/parent_templates/bootstrap/bootstrap.
rlt)

Don't think it's cache.

I wouldn't do it in basic.sql although if you don't want it available to all
remove the *

Just set who it's available to via management.php

There's a slight issue possibly caused by the renaming...

Have tested on two different installs - I can create a new project based on
the template but clicking insert doesn't do anything? It worked when it was
called Bootstrap! ;-)

In basic.sql, instead of '*' for the access field?

BTW Pat didn't answer your question about enabling for specific users -
looks like it's username.

Not sure what the delimiter is but I guess either , ; or space - testing
that now...
