Hi Tom
yes seems identical here's a direct copy and paste:
<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/config.php");
global $xerte_toolkits_site;
$extraparams = "";
if (isset($_REQUEST['LinkID']))
{
$extraparams .= "&LinkID=" . $_REQUEST['LinkID'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['Page']))
{
$extraparams .= "&Page=" . $_REQUEST['Page'];
}
header("Location: " . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url .
"play.php?engine=html5&template_id=" . $_REQUEST['template_id'] .
$extraparams);
Does youre's work with .htaccess enabled?
Any difference in that .htaccess rule? e.g. ^play_html5_([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
/xerte/play_html5.php?template_id=$1
Cheers
Ron

Ron,
Can you double-check the play_html5.php? That works on my website:
<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/config.php");
global $xerte_toolkits_site;
$extraparams = "";
if (isset($_REQUEST['LinkID']))
{
$extraparams .= "&LinkID=" . $_REQUEST['LinkID'];
}
if (isset($_REQUEST['Page']))
{
$extraparams .= "&Page=" . $_REQUEST['Page'];
}
header("Location: " . $xerte_toolkits_site->site_url .
"play.php?engine=html5&template_id=" . $_REQUEST['template_id'] .
$extraparams);
Tom
P.S. I received your message just now (12:05).

Hi
I was just alerted to the fact that /play_html5_id links I'd previously
shared to lo's are no longer working :-(
I can live with that and update where I can but it also means that links
that Alistair and others have shared previously are also currently broken. I
know over time this will fade away as new links are shared etc but this was
something that we wanted to avoid if possible.
Here's an example link that Alistair shared previously on the lists which
doesn't work at the moment:
http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_html5_300
It obviously does now work via http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_300
and http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_300
<http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_300&engine=html> &engine=html
But is there a change to the .htaccess rule I can make to still allow
http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_html5_300 to work?
The previous rule for this was: rewriteRule ^play_html5_([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
/xerte/play_html5.php?template_id=$1
But http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_html5.php?template_id=300 no
longer works so the shorter version doesn't either :-(

Hi Tom
I just looked at the export links the install without htaccess was
generating via Fiddler and changed the order accordingly e.g. What position
template_id appears

And, please note, it solves the play and preview differently than your
suggestion.
For play your suggestion accepts play_126_javascript, whereas my solution
accepts play_126?engine=javascript. The latter because that's the way the
wizard works now.
play_126 will choose the engine based on the default engine chosen by the
author.

P.S. I don't understand why your modifications work, when the original line

Basically changed the order of things in a couple of the export rules:

previous 70
rewriteRule ^scorm_rich_([0-9]+)?(.*)$
/xerte/website_code/php/scorm/export.php?template_id=$1&data=rich&scorm=true

new
rewriteRule ^scorm_rich_([0-9]+)?(.*)$

my apologies. I just tracked back through my messages and missed your

I've just put that in place and it seems deployment and 2004 export works

Ron,
Apparently you didn't receive my reply on April 25?
It oncluded a version that should have a working export for you. It's
different than the one you have attached here, so I'll post it again.

I'm not sure how correct the attached is as it's something I edited over
time while 1.9 was being developed. But it worked including export until the
engine= changes and I know Tom was going to look at this further but
probably hasn't had time yet. The normal play and preview work but export
doesn't.
Tom suggested the current line 12:
rewriteRule ^preview_([A-Za-z0-9]+)?(.*)$
/xerte/preview.php?template_id=$1&$2
and that enables Ctrl + Play to toggle the engine and that works but I
haven't been able to find a solution for export.

Hi Pat/Tom/all
is there a solution to this for Export before any of the engine changes Pat
has listed are made?
We've got a real problem on one of the Techdis installations now where I
can't turn .htaccess use off because it would installantly break all the
links to LO's Alistair and co have shared but at the same time at the moment
with .htaccess on none of the export options work. I don't really want to
revert the install back to before Tom's engine= changes but I've tried a few
variations of rules to get export to work without success so far. Even if
only archive export worked for now that would be better than no export
working.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Ron
BTW am I right in thinking the engine.fla still needs to be kept as Flash 8?
I no longer have a Flash 8 install and wary of making any changes in CS4.

Hello,
HTaccess debugging
One, the default engine link in the wizard *to me* doesn't follow the
HTaccess approach
So here are some new HTaccess rules
These will work on a localhost/xertetoolkts install if
rewriteBase /xertetoolkits is on
rewriteRule ^preview_([A-Za-z0-9]+)_([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
preview.php?template_id=$1&linkID=$2
rewriteRule ^preview_([A-Za-z0-9]+)_([A-Za-z]+)$
preview.php?template_id=$1&engine=$2
rewriteRule ^preview_([A-Za-z0-9]+)_([A-Za-z]+)_([A-Za-z0-9]+)$
preview.php?template_id=$1&engine=$2&linkID=$3
In the wizard the following toggle needs to apply (I don't have flash on
this computer)
If apache is set the link becomes
preview_idnumber
if control is held down then then link is
preview_idnumber_linkID
if control is held down then the link is
preview_idnumber_enginename (enginename is always text only - no numbers
and no ascii)
if control and shift are both held down
preview_idnumber_enginename_linkID
Note enginename comes before linkID
I don't have flash to fix this at home, but if some one can put the ifs into
the wizard that should fix it

I don't understand the /xerte/preview
The difference should be the ?(.*) before the $ and the &$2 at the end.

Hi Tom
rewriteRule ^preview_([A-Za-z0-9]+)?(.*)$ */preview.php?template_id=$1&$2
worked for Ctrl + Play preview although I obviously had to change it to
/xerte/preview.php rather than */preview.php
I tried applying the same principal to one of the export rules but that
didn't work - probably due to my lack of knowledge of regular expressions
etc :-(
Happy to test export additions?
I think ideally we need a definitive \setup\htaccess.conf for people to use
for reference.

No, the wizard tries to load preview.php and play.php, but it doesn't add
any sizes to the url, like the xerte play and preview do.
The issue with .htaccess and xerte preview is that now you can have url
parameters added to the .htaccess urls, like play_126?engine=other, and the
rules don't handle the ?engine=other properly. I sent a fix for Ron to try
by PM, because I couldn't send anything to the list for some 30 minutes.

OK. Does it impact the re-write rule? At this point I'd rather just make it

tempaltes, the url the wizard tries to load will be preview_sitephp and
play_site.php? I'm not sure if it affects what you're talking about or not?

I didn't change it (combine preview of site and xerte) because the url
parameters were different, and I felt we hadn't time to test changes
thoroughly enough, so at the moment I only changed the absolute minimum.

In the wizard (I think you mean) is code that launches the site template
that does something along the lines of (if templateruntime =
'preview_sitephp') blah which launches the site template in the preview_site
page. If you remember, way back when, when we originally anticipated
different runtimes, we had a runtime param in the xwd file to point to
alternative renderers for content. If you want to look it's in function
preview()
I would have thought that when the recent modularisation stuff was done,
this might have been made redundant, or handled differently, and maybe this
code should change? But I don't have enough sight of the other side of the
coin to know how?

Just been testing this a bit more and for instance with the editor open
clicking play to preview works fine with Apache/.htaccess enabled or not but
clicking Ctrl + Play with Apache/.htaccess enabled results in
http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/preview_310
<http://vlejisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/preview_310&engine=other> &engine=other
and so doesn't work ends up with a page not found
What needs to change or be added to the .htaccess?
e.g.
NETGEAR VMDG485 NETGEAR http://www.netgear.com/ VMDG485 VMDG485 VMDG485
http://www.virginmedia.com/ (unimplemented)
uuid:upnp-WANConnectionDevice-1_0-20e52aba60fb (unimplemented)
urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:WANIPConnection:1
urn:upnp-org:serviceId:WANIPConn1 /WANIPConnection.xml /WANIPConnection
/WANIPConnection
I think this is an important issue for those using .htaccess previously
(e.g. Nottingham) because if Apache was switched off via management existing
links would obviously break. But at the moment with Apache enabled I don't
think export and Ctrl + Play works.
