No, what I mean is it's different for each instance. I don't know it at design time. It get set at runtime.

Ah ok... but when you say you don't know what FileLocation is do you mean the variable FileLocation in the string? Is the variable FileLocation set to the correct path before the eval? Surely you need to know FileLocation otherwise when eval()ed that part will default to ""

Try alerting the eval()ed value to see if it makes sense...

Why are you eval()ing  $(data).find('learningObject').attr('header') ??

Because it contains the string 'FileLocation + "media/filename.jpg"' and I don't know what FileLocation is.

If you start taking out binary blocks from the custom.css file you'll be able to narrow down the bit that's causing IE to throw a wobbly...

Do we support IE8? I can't get this to work: in FF, the header image works

[cid:image001.jpg at 01CE09D1.003792E0]

But in IE8 it doesn't
[cid:image002.jpg at 01CE09D1.003792E0]

The bottom line is this line in application.js fails
$('#overview').css('background-image', "url(" + eval( $(data).find('learningObject').attr('header'))+ ")");

unless you don't load custom.css, in which case it does work. Custom.css has this lot in it that is relevant...

.jumbotron {
margin-top: 20px;
  position: relative;
  padding: 20px 0;
  color: #fff;
  text-align: center;
//  text-shadow: 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4), 0 0 30px rgba(0,0,0,.075);

          box-shadow: inset 0 3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,.2), inset 0 -3px 7px rgba(0,0,0,.2);

Maybe one of you with ore CSS experience knows an answer?

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:

[cid:image003.jpg at 01CE09D1.003792E0][cid:image004.jpg at 01CE09D1.003792E0]

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?

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! ;-)

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...
