[Xerte-dev] Re: Some items for the wish list (when we have one).

1. isn't /version.txt sufficient for this? But agree it would be good if it was automated although not sure it should be accessed via management because often it's useful when supporting people (mostly not admins) to ask what version you are using and to direct them where to identify that e.g. /version.txt

2. I think there is a slight bug with this and not sure if it's due to whether an LO is public or not when changing the engine type? I was delivering training yesterday and have seen it before too and current solution is to make the LO public, toggle the egine, view the public link then toggling should work as it's supposed to.

3. I've been manually changing the date via management making the Bootstrap/site template much older than the others. Might not be what you're supposed to do but works! BTW delegates yesterday loved the non-site site template! ;-)

I'd prefer the xerte online toolkit at the top as well, then bootstrap and then rss one. Is there an index or ID number the query can sort on?

Hi Thomas

Not sure about 1 - don't think the svn can or should do it but perhaps Tom's autopackager could add a version file then we could add an include. Tom?

2. I thought the publish/export problems had been solved but maybe not. Will take a look.

3. Don't know what determines order but yes it would be good to leave the original at top. 's' depends how you look at it i suppose. Julian?

Good Evening everyone,

I would like to see the following items included


1)      Make the default copyright String show the revision number and possibly the date, e.g
Version 2.0 r854 (2013-04-30) Copyright University of Nottingham 2008 – 2012 This is going to make life a lot easier for those of us who are supporting users remotely now that regular updates are coming out.

2)      Restore the link to the HTML-5 output in the Properties Project Tab. This was really useful

In know there has been some discussion about this and that it’s meant to be automated, but at the moment, in r584, you can tick the ‘Javascript’ option when you publish, but it still displays Flash when you view it. Adding ‘&engine=html5’ obviously works, but may be

Beyond some of our users.

3)      Change the order in which the ‘Blank Templates’ are displayed so that ‘Xerte Online Toolkit’

Is the first one. This is going to make life a lot simpler for newbie developers (and pros too, possibly). And by the way shouldn’t it be ‘Toolkits’ with an ‘s’ on the end?

Good to see that we can now export HTML5.Thanks for this

Kindest regards, Thomas
