[Xerte-dev] Re: Possible issue with paths that might need resolving

This is trunk.

So should we remove all the files from bootstrap that aren't being used so that we don't have files in limbo that are never used? There are probably others over and above the 3 that I have identified...

Is this a trunk install or a zip install?

The upload path is relative to the engine, so it is augmented with file names and so on.

Not sure why the video player skin is a full path - try making it relative and see what happens I guess?
