[Xerte] errors with toolkits 1.0

[RonM]

Sorry Pat there was a typo in item 1...

 

It works when uploaded as an LO to the same server as the toolkits install
(e.g. example below) but doesn't work from toolkits. I don't think it's a
caching thing - the example feed changes frequently as you can see via the
link http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/twitter_test/ There seems to be a
difference when run from toolkits.

 

I'll test the export thing with fiddler at some point tomorrow and let you
know.

Cheers

Ron

Oh, is the confusion on 1 a caching thing?

 

It will work locally (in xerte) as then zinc will use your IE proxy to go
get the file.

Hi all

Firstly thanks for everyone's suggestions regarding the string/xml
manipulation - much appreciated. I got what I wanted working and you can see
an example here: http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/twitter_test/ 

 

However the main point of this message is to summarise some errors I'm
finding with toolkits 1.0 and to check if it's the same for others?

 

1.       I'll start with an issue sort of related to the above example: If I
preview or view that example via my toolkits install the rss doesn't show
either on this or a standard page templates rss page. I haven't added any
proxy details to the installation but I'm not aware it needs any and to make
it more confusing the example above is a file I created with my toolkits
install and then exported, published locally and uploaded to a folder on the
same web server. So the feed works when not viewed via toolkits but does
when viewed or previewed via toolkits. Anyone else got the same problem?

2.       A not unrelated error but minor is the following: If I create an LO
using my toolkits installation and then export that LO, extract the zip
locally and then view index.htm the preloader doesn't finish and the LO
doesn't show. If I then open learningobject.rlo, publish and re-open
index.htm it does work. Is this the same for others?
Julian/Pat - not sure if it's related but we briefly discussed before that I
think it would be better if the exported file kept the same name as on the
server e.g. Nottingham.rlt rather than learningobject.rlo

3.       Pat - this one I guess is for you: I've discovered a remaining bug
with the moodle integration which so far only seems to affect export. With
the 2 moodle integration files in place the login works and the creation and
editing works but when I go to export I get a blank screen. E.g.
website_code/php/scorm/export.php?scorm=false&template_id=2 displays a blank
window.
Thomas - I'd be interested to know if you're getting the same problem with
exporting with moodle integration enabled?

4.       The only other error I've found is the one already reported with
the installer and the tweak to database.txt suggested by Thomas seems to fix
that.

 

HTH

Ron
