[Xerte] Re: Issues sharing a tutorial made on Media Interactions template

[Ruth Russell]

Thanks for the reply

Yep, it says 'Zinc cannot create file'.

Here's what I can see:

This is the file location.I've been working from 'Ruth Russell eSSC' on my
desktop, and saving my changes.

When I tried to save 'Ruth Russell eSSC' to a flashdrive, I got the Zinc
Error message.

When I click on 'index' on my desktop, a google chrome page opens with a
fully interactive tutorial which works.  However, if I save the 'index' file
to a flashdrive, then attempt to open it, I just get a blank page.

I upload the zipped version of the whole 'Transcript Tutorial' file to a
fluff server, then downloaded the folder to check it worked:

On this version, I cannot open any of the files, as it asks for a password.
However, the original versions can be opened without a password on my
desktop.

Hope that's clearer

Thanks
Ruth
