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

I know, i'm just jesting.

There's definitely something going on though. What might be really good is if we did some subversioning on the community site and used filehippo or something to store the zips. So we can go back to say v2.0.7 and get the zip and test it. I'm not sure if we can or how we would do that just now with github.

We could have a monthly minor version built automatically with all changes from that month? Tom would be best though to advise on whether that is possible. Just now its hard to track a fault as we only get a major version number in version.txt

I know you WANT it to be related to the upload code ;-) but I doubt it is as that is not touched after login until you actually edit and upload a media file... Ron is seeing it in IE10 which I don't think is affected by the Flash Cookie bug anyway...

Doesn't seem to be any commonality yet: Firefox and IE10, LDAP and Guest....

No, it's FF, and I'm fairly sure it's related to the stuff that changed around file uploads: at least that's when it first appeared,

Ah well it looks like this was in the zipping code which preceded the new code that Tom implemented recently, to remove some dependency...

Hmmm, we really need to get to the bottom of that session id problem. Does it do it in every browser?

Yeah sorry the xyz... was just my representation of a series of numbers followed by .zip

My test of the latest code was on xampp only. I'll test again but Julian has also reported session id not set issues.

Cheers
Ron

I've not really seen any session issues on a windows install and on xampp mainly though. Have never seen the invalid templat id error either...

the example_zipper_new... file seems to be related to old export code (https://code.google.com/p/xerteonlinetoolkits/source/browse/trunk/modules/x
erte/export.php?spec=svn696&r=696) with _xyz on the end nothing shows in Google but remove _xyz and you get hits...

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 issue above?

Cheers
Ron
