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.

Alsmost every time I log in to our toolkits server here, even first thing after a clean boot on my machine I get the error when I try and edit an LO.

Yep. Just tried it. It really is EVERY time.

This was on xampp but happening within a couple of minutes not due to a normal timeout.
Not sure about the occasions Julian has reported?

The session id issue sounds a bit like the session has expired. I'm not sure how to fix that properly - perhaps having some sort of background periodic request on the server to stop the session becoming stale?

Never seen ‘invalid template id’. But ‘session ID not set’ is doing my head in.

I don’t recognise 2.

Hi all
I think an issue I mentioned in the thread entitled testing results got lost in the discussion about re-running setup so I'm checking again along with a separate issue I've noticed…

Issue 1
I downloaded xertetoolkits_2.1 Version:2.1 Last update  2014-03-14 from the community site and from my testing this revision is not reliable e.g. one minute I can create an LO and the next minute I get one of two errors when trying to create a new lo:
Session ID not set
or
Invalid template_id (could not find in DB)

Q. Does this not happen for others?

Issue 2
In an older revision that I've been using which seems to be relatively trouble free I've noticed that one or more files named something like example_zipper_new_xyz… is getting created and included in any successful export but also still residing in the project folder on the server.

Q. Does anyone recognise this? Was it fixed in a later revision that doesn't have the session issu
