Hi John
if what you mean by the above snippet is the ability to add a session prefix
within Moodle admin so that more than one moodle installation can run on the
same server and being able to be logged into each at the same time then I
don't think that session prefix has any impact on using moodle
authentication with Xerte. It's always worked fine for me whether a cookie
prefix is set or not. I just tested an install with and without a prefix and
all seemed fine.

OK. Looking at the code:
function getSessionID(){
var id;
var auth = '<?php echo
strtolower($xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method); ?>';
var browser =
(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('firefox') > -1) ? 'firefox' :
((navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('safari') > -1) ? 'safari' :
'other');
//Pass data to upload (Firefox Flash Cookie Bug)
which we are
//It first checks moodle, then defaults
if (auth == 'moodle') {
//Its Moodle integration so we need the
whole cookie
return 'BROWSER=' + browser +
'&AUTH=moodle&COOKIE=' + escape(document.cookie);
}
else if ((id =
document.cookie.match(/PHPSESSID=[^;]+/))) {
// Its Default authentication so we only
need session id
return 'BROWSER=' + browser + '&AUTH=xerte&'
+ id;
}
return null;
}
The only reason for &null to be in the URL is if the cookie doesn't have
PHPSESSID= in it (assuming you are not using Moodle).
That means that Firefox 24 must be using a different session cookie
identifier?!? Which is going to further complicate things. Something else
that should/could go into the upload.php page is handling of Moodle session
prefix which we don't cater for just now either but will come back to bite
us at some point.

Hmmm, they look decidedly strange to me:
192.168.50.11 - - [25/Oct/2013:11:39:01 +0200] "POST
/~tom/xotdev/modules/xerte/engine/upload.php?path=USER-FILES/1-tom-Nottingha
m/media/&null HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "Shockwave Flash"
192.168.50.11 - - [25/Oct/2013:11:39:05 +0200] "POST
/~tom/xotdev/modules/xerte/engine/file_exists.php HTTP/1.1" 200 39 "-"
"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0"
i.e. I would have expected some indication of firefox on the first line as
well.

Hi Tom,
It is most likely the flash cookie bug. Can you see what the useragent
string presents as for the new Firefox? I've seen issues on the
mediaelements Github site that IE11 has a different useragent string or
something.

Issue 1:
The space needed by the buttons in the Dutch translation is too large:
This only happens in (some) installations of firefox, i.e. I have problems
on my PC, but Inge does not on hers (Both Win7Pro 64bit).
Does anyone mind if I set the margins of .file_mgt_area_middle to 10px
i.s.o. 15px?
Issue 2, upload of media, so far only encountered in firefox:
I can't upload media. Tested with video and images.
