[Xerte] Export to Scorm has password

Mon Sep 28 15:48:47 BST 2009

I'll give it a whirl = shouldn't think so though as it is actually one
string that's the aprameter. The plugin must split it, and call a
function with the results. If it doesn't exist I have a feeling it will
break it,

Wonder if the last param can be omitted altogether?

var sourceFolder = editor.FileLocation.substr(0,
editor.FileLocation.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1);

var fsparams =
'"'+packageFile+"\",\""+sourceFolder+"\",\"*.*\",\"none\"";

fscommand("flashvnn.ZipFolder", fsparams);

fscommand("flashvnn.CloseZip", "");

that's it - it just takes a folder and some parameters. Here's the help:

flashvnn.ZipFolder (Procedure)

Usage (Var)

param1="D:\\test.zip";
param2="D:\\myfolder";
param3="*.*";
param4="yourpass";

fscommand("flashvnn.ZipFolder","param1,param2,param3,param4");

Usage (Literal)

fscommand("flashvnn.ZipFolder","\"D:\\test.zip\",\"D:\\myfolder\",\"*.*\
",\"yourpass\"");

Parameters

String: new zip file name
String: folder you want Compress
String: File type you want Compress in folder like : *.doc , *.txt , use
*.* to compress all files in folder
String: passwork for zip file . Give it 'none' value if you don't use
pass work

So, it looks like the password might be seen as 'none' instead of none.
Is this the case - those of you who have this p[roblem, what heppens if
you enter 'none' as the password?

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,

HTH,

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
