[Xerte-dev] Re: session issue + example_zipper issue

Tue Apr 8 19:05:41 BST 2014

Done some further testing with the git downloads and created new clean installs from the 2.1 branch and the develop branch and both give me these same errors in IE 10 but no errors in Chrome or Firefox.

However I don't get the same problems with the same IE and same xampp with the earlier version from git. I don't get the same problem with IE 10 with any of the live installs to which I have access either but none of those are this very latest code.

I've run out of time tonight now but will try to test on another pc tomorrow.

Cheers
Ron

Hmm is it IE10?

No console errors? Do you see the session cookie in the headed responses in IE (not even sure if you can or how to) and are they empty?

So I can't reproduce the error I'm getting with Firefox, Chrome or Safari i.e. I only get the errors with IE.

I tried clearing cache with IE but can still repeat error consistently.

I tried a new install with the version I had been using previously 2.1 (git git-82-g70282af) and on the same xampp that works in IE without problem.

Will try a new install from latest git later.

Not sure if that means the error I'm getting is different or at least a different cause from the error Julian is getting.

Certainly I seem to be the only one with the Invalid template_id (could not find in DB) error in IE.

Hi John
yes my test install is from the community site. I was using that because I began testing the separate issue reported by a user not being able to import an LO that Alistair had installed and also the re-run of setup etc. Most users obviously get the downloads from the community site rather than from git.

Ironically I've just been testing with Firefox and can't reproduce the error yet I can consistently with IE.

So not sure where that leaves us? :-(

Is this a zip install from the Community site Ron? I'm mainly working from checked out git Develop and v2.1 branches...

I wonder if the zip packager is doing something. Do you see any missing file errors in the console network tab? In Chrome they usually turn red... or any other console errors?

In xampp I have an install called xerteapril2014 with guest authentication set.

If I visit http://localhost/xerteapril2014/ and try to create a new LO I first get the error:

Invalid template_id (could not find in DB)

If I refresh and try creating a new LO again and with var_dump($_SESSION); added to edit.php I get:

array
  'toolkits_language' => string 'en-GB' (length=5)

Session ID not set

OK - but does var_dump($_SESSION); reveal anything?

David.

You'd see that if you haven't logged in.

Specifically, $_SESSION doesn't contain the key : toolkits_logon_id

So ... could you put a :

var_dump($_SESSION);

in the /edit.php file - just above / before :

    die("Session ID not set");

(which is nearly at the bottom of it)

What does it output now?

thanks
David.
