[Xerte] Adding full screenoption tothe FLVvideo/swf/graphiccontrols

Tue Jul 27 14:34:13 BST 2010

Hi Peter

Copy the USER-FILES folder and possibly import folder too from toolkits_old
to toolkits and then I think your old LO's should work.

If creating a new project works fine I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the
volume slider and video zoom icon. Just make sure the parent templates
directory and XMLEngine.swf in the root are up-to-date. If everything is up
to date you should also see the new Morph Images page type as an option e.g.
Media > Morph Images.

Perhaps empty offline files and restart maxos too.

Thanks Ron

You guessed correctly. When I copied Database.php I realised I was accessing
the "toolkits" folder rather than the "xertetoolkits" folder.  So renamed
the "toolkits" folder > "toolkits_old" and "xertetoolkits" folder >
"toolkits".

I then browsed to  Localhost\toolkits.  The previous projects were still
there in the list and gave an error if you tried to edit them.  I created a
new project and it worked fine except the controls were still the old build.
Will I have to create a new database to overcome the problem.

current Database.php

Hi

Your original post indicated that you were trying to install the latest
download to a directory named xertetoolkits but that was throwing errors.
Pat suggested copying database.php and you replied that worked. However did
you copy the latest version to the toolkits rather than xertetoolkits
directory? If not and you didn't edit database.php I suspect even if you're
accessing the xertetoolkits copy it's using the database and older files
from the original toolkits install.

If you tried to update just by replacing the parent template folders be sure
to also update XMLEngine.swf in the toolkits folder.

Downloaded latest toolkits and updated Maxos151 thanks to Patrick.  Movie
video control ( media> video) still as per original toolkits ie no Zoom.
Also volume control not showing on interface. 

If I search for 'Zoom' under htdocs >toolkits     Zoom.png and other 'zoom'
Swf files are found so update to  toolkits is there its just not being
referenced ??

Location of Zoom files in downloaded toolkits :

E:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\modules\xerte\parent_templates\Nottingham\common
E:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\modules\xerte\parent_templates\mediaInteractions\co
mmon

Is there a simple mod to a PHP file which will access the latest build ?

If there have been changes to a .rlm file then this will refer to the .rlm
file used by the video page that is part of the page templates project wide
template. This file is not interchangeable with the .rlm file used in the
equivalent page wizard.

I am busy with a music exam this week, but will be looking at the new
release of Xerte in the near future so that I can check for changes to any
.rlm files and incorporate those changes in the .rlm files used by the page
wizards. I believe there may also be a new page so I will be looking to
create a wizard for that at the same time. So if you are a user of page
wizards, no worries, there will just be a brief delay until I can bring the
page wizards up to date with the new changes.

In the mean time if you want to view the changes that Julian has made to the
video player you will need to create a new xerte project based on the page
templates project wide template and then add the video page to your project,
from the list of pages made available by the page templates project wide
template.

Kind regards

A bit lost I'm afraid and I am not sure I really know what I am doing.
However made a new project - used a text video page wizard and replaced
_textvideo.rlm dated 6/10/2009 with  textvideo.rlm dated 19/7/2010 (added
underscore) from page templates in xerte 2.12 - to no avail.

likewise new project with movie page similar result - but no textvideo.rlm
in pr0ject folder ?

Have downloaded standalone player says 2.12 - added movie flv but video
control appears the same as in 2.11 ie no full screen toggle option. Am I
looking in the right place?

This is the .flv page, not the .swf. You can download it now, I built
everything before I left work,

That looks really useful.

Would this be configurable so that the zoom button could be hidden by
setting a parameter?

I am just thinking of Wink based videos where the display size has to be
set. I am not sure how they would respond to being zoomed.

Once this feature is available in a download-able version of Xerte I will
try it out with a Wink based swf and let you know the results.

Kind regards

A bit of a wish list item. However is it possible or easy to add a full
screen option that sizes to the stage to the FLV video/swf/graphic controls
similar to the embedded Utube player.

Error! Filename not specified.
