[Xerte] Export Zip problems - observation

[Catherall, Paul]

The media folder was missing, containing  videos/flash, images etc    I was able to obtained the full version with media was because I duplicated items, then exported the duplicate copy (sounds like an ID problem on the database for specific objects I’ve been trying to export?)  I just tried exporting on different browsers again, in our 2 different Xerte installations (both IIS) and found I was able to export in Firefox on one installation with media, but on our other installation the media is missing.   So this sounds like it’s particular objects which were causing problems on that installation.
The working version was installed a week or so back, so perhaps this is a newer release of Xerte which works better..

What seems like a separate issue, IE also seems to corrupt the zip, although it does seem to produce a very large archive (1 single wad, rather than individual files).

Off apache even? Or IIS? If you have a local install it will be apache.

When exporting zip files, there is also the issue of media missing (and the actual ‘media’ folder in the zip). I’m consistently getting media missing in just about all browsers Safari, Firefox etc.  but when I duplicate an object, then export it (IE seems to corrupt the zip) the media is included.

I’m afraid I’ve been on duty librarian messing around our science library for a few days
But if you put any new code/ installation files on the list I’ll install to local sever/xampp etc.

p.s. The RSS problem was fixed for us using the replacement php

you might also want to consider building the replacement Ispring.rlm file you sent me some weeks back into any new build, it sizes an Ispring movie correctly (you might have already thought of this so apologies if so)

Happy to help. Can test on 4 different nix servers + localhost but can only test on a Windows server tomorrow.

Hello all,

Was wondering if I could gather a collection of people together to see if we can crack the zip problem.

Ideally, if someone is willing to try localhost, and someone with an IIS server / other nix flavours would be nice.

I guess it’ll be about half an hour, and you’ll need to be able to swap PHP files on your install.

Email me off list if you’re interested in helping.

Thanking you

Pat
