[Xerte] FW: import progress

[Rochford, Thomas]

Yes, window.open() does just that. I know because I've used it many time. You
can set the stuff you want to display, scrollbars, status bars etc. There may
be added difficulties because the bad behaviour is browser/OS specific and
the good behaviour may need to be enabled at administrator level. The syntax
is as follows:

 

window.open(href, windowname, '...=...,...=...,status=yes');

 

Kindest regards, Thomas

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:

internet_explorer

 

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
