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
