[Xerte] FW: import progress

[Patrick Lockley]

Does one of you guys want to look into whether window.open in javascript
fixes this?

Interesting find Thomas. I sent my previous reply before your message
arrived and clearly there's also a difference when importing online
compared with localhost at least with my setup. That solution doesn't
seem very easy for your typical maxos user.

I've done some more work on this and have managed to restore the status
bar - I expect the mechanics are actually contained within
dUnzip2.inc.php. The problem appears to be that the status bar does not
reliably open by default when a new window is created. There's some
quite useful advice on this and a fix at:

You need to be imaginative when following these instructions with W7
and/or IE8 but it can be done as shown in the attached file which shows
a small status bar in the lower left hand corner which is replaced by
the word 'Done' when the task is completed. It may be possible to force
the status bar on in the code - I'm not sure about this?

 

Kindest regards, Thomas

There never was a progress bar for importing or exporting, because I
never coded it in, mostly because I don't know how.

 

Theres a progress bar for uploading inside the wizard?

I've been doing quite a lot of XERTE training recently and have noticed
that the progress bar for the import/export function has disappeared. At
first I thought it was just me but I shared the problem with Ron at the
recent RSCe e:Fair. He has conducted some further tests as described
below and as a result we both feel it is worth sharing with the list. Is
anyone else able to confirm whether this is a problem when using Xerte
OnLine Toolkits v.1.5 as currently available on the Nottingham
University Website?

 

Kindest regards, Thomas.

Hi Thomas

I was clearing out some email earlier and read my reminder to check the
progress bar we discussed at the efair. I tested an import into an
online installation and that certainly shows upload progress bottom left
of the window. However I tried the same import with your maxos and a
maxos upgraded to the latest toolkits and neither show the progress bar.
So I'm guessing there's something in the import function/code which only
works when online rather than localhost or that there is a php/apache
setting not quite right. Probably worth posing the question to Pat on
the Notts mailing list.

Regards

Ron
