[Xerte-dev] Re: Safari media upload issue from Graham Bell - request for server patching

[Smith, John]

Hi Ron

That's fine - have been busy myself lately and only just getting around to fixing this. I thought i had attached the zip but it was late however if you are going to update to trunk then it won't be needed but will get it over to you anyway in case you need to roll back.

The escaped quotes issue sounds very familiar and something Tom or Pat was working on i think and was very much server specific involving magic quotes i think hence the reason i'm not seeing it. Not sure though which revision the changes were made in though, perhaps its mentioned in the svn notes?

Hi John
sorry been extremely busy with other things but was there meant to me a file attached to your message below?

BTW it's not the Techdis sandpit Graham is using but it is another Techdis install. We have a new sandpit too and I did see someone else have the same problem with Safari on a Mac the other day.

I'll post a separate message on the dev list here but may as well mention this now too that in the absence of a zip attached to your message I grabbed the latest trunk (which obviously has many more updates than just yours) and updated a test install and that was causing problems. It seemed to be adding \ in lots of places and therefore breaking the xml e.g.

        <learningObject resume=\"true\" language=\"en-GB\" name=\"Learning Object Title\" navigation=\"Linear\" textSize=\"12\" displayMode=\"default\">
                <title linkID=\"PG1371648227672\" name=\"Enter Page Title\" size=\"30\"><![CDATA[Enter title here]]></title>
                <textGraphics hidePanel=\"true\" linkID=\"PG1361433467001\" name=\"Enter Page Title\" align=\"Left\" imagesize=\"full screen\" url=\"FileLocation + \'media/800_x_516.jpg\'\" tip=\"Enter a Tooltip\" transcriptbuttonlabel=\"Transcript\"><![CDATA[Enter text for the page here]]></textGraphics>
                <textGraphics linkID=\"PG1359043029659\" name=\"Enter Page Title\" align=\"Left\" imagesize=\"full screen\" url=\"FileLocation + \'media/xpert_logo.gif\'\" tip=\"Enter a Tooltip\" transcriptbuttonlabel=\"Transcript\"><![CDATA[Enter text for the page here]]></textGraphics>
        </learningObject>

Hi Alistair/Ron,

I think I have now got to the bottom of this bug and have produced a patch. It would be great if you were able to either apply the patch attached (instructions below) or upgrade to latest trunk.

Inside the attached zip is a folder called 'modules' with other files/folders inside. If you unzip and drop the 'modules' folder into the root of your install (there will already be a folder there called 'modules' - just grant permissions to overwrite and the problematic files will be replaced.

Let me know when/if one of you can do this and i'll email Graham to see if he can test in Safari - I assum it's the Sandbox he's using as he said Alistair supplies it - if so then I can also test on Mac/Safari to make sure it is now fixed.

Thanks in advance...
