[Xerte] Export to Scorm has password

Could be.
Could be something as innocuous as having "Remember my Passwords" set on Passport or something and that is somehow auto-filling that field.

I'd first try omitting the parameter altogether, then setting it to "" if you can't omit it. But if it's auto-filling somehow, it suspect it will need to be omitted.

I’d guess it’s an OS thing, and people will have
something installed which modifies a zip.dll somewhere down the line.

Gary's budZip was always free and it's self -contained.

I've used it for distributions.

What is being passed to Zinc? Is there a flag for password that might be being
tripped somehow? Or is it just the filename?

It needs to be something
redistributable, and not dependent on the end users software. It’s a bit
of a pain calling command line from zinc, as you have to write out a .bat
first, and call it from there.

I
think almost all of them have a command line interface.

Or we could contact Gary Smith and ask him if he could unwrap his BuddyZip Xtra
for us to whatever API we want.

It uses a plug in for zinc.
There are internal calls to the plugin.

Is there a command line
utility we could replace it with?

What zip utility does Xerte use? 

What does the command line for the zip process look like?

The passowrd zip thing is a
mystery. Some people report it, others don’t. I cannot reproduce it.
Check the archives for prior discussions, but I have no idea why it happens.
You can easily work around it by zipping the contents of the project folder up
yourself.

It is currently easier to add
custom content to a template project, rather than add templates to a custom
project – use the ‘xerte’ page type to include custom pages
of content. The models need some repurposing to work as individual models /
templates / wizards withing a satnadalone project. It can be done –
again, there was some recent discussion about this,

Hi
everyone

I have started using xerte and its really promising. I have a few question but
the wiki is currently blocked by our admin (no time estimate on when they will
unblock).

If anyone could help out or point me in the right direction with these
questions:

* Exporting as a zipped scorm package from xertes results in a password
protected file

  - Is this the default action ( I haven't altered any settings) 

  - is there an option to turn this off

  - what is the password?

* Is it possible to add single items/models from a template to a learning
object; I am creating a scorm quiz with the following interactivities:

   drag and drop labelling, timeline/matching pairs questions from
the template. but I need to integrate them with other items to develop my
learning materials and tie them together.

 - Can a template model be used separately? 

 - If so, is there api documentation for the model and its parameters etc?

Regards,

Donald
