[Xerte] Re: Can I send mail in toolkits via asp page

[Dave Burnett]

OK, I have this working off my server, so both rlo and .asp page are in the same domain and directory.No crossdomain and no flash security settings made from default.
So now start moving back up the chain.First a model, then start moving it around.

The other thought that occurred to me was that if you could do this via getURL instead of sendAndLoad, security might not be an issue, not sure: you don’t really need to get any data returned from the server, so if you can just send data to the server that might be OK. It would be good to have some sort of ‘true’ returned if the mails sent properly though. sendAndLoad makes it explicit you expect a return value, hence the security says ‘hang on, do I allow this…’ From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of KnowledgeWare

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Can I send mail in toolkits via asp page Arh, the security stuff always bamboozles me, but(I think) you need a crossdomain.xml on the server you’re calling. That will allow a flash movie to make calls to that server if the domains are different. It’s why we need to proxy the calls to feeds and stuff in toolkits: data we want to access elsewhere hasn’t given us permission: there’s nothing you can do about that in the swf itself. I think what the System.security stuff does is to allow target.com to receive data from your swf, i.e. target.com loads and tries to access stuff in the swf itself. That’s not what’s happening here. I might be well off on that… From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Can I send mail in toolkits via asp page  You are right, it is a security issue. But this doesn't seem to do anything: System.security.allowDomain('www.target.com'); where www.target.com is the target of the sendandLoadVars   From: Julian.Tenney at nottingham.ac.uk

I'm running it off my server, the same one that the desktop version was developed and worked on as a published piece. Same code.So unless the XOT install does something to permissions, should be same right?  From: Julian.Tenney at nottingham.ac.uk

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Can I send mail in toolkits via asp pageNot sure: debug it. I normally use the interactionID, but that’s just habit. I think the whole page is made from the model, I don’t think it dives for the children only. Do you know if anything reaches the script? I’ve got a feeling this is security, because local files will work. Quick and easy to make a toolkits project locally and test it there.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Can I send mail in toolkits via asp page  It works locally as a single page piece. I make a model of that page and import as Xerte content. When I run it, I am setting onscreen text after the sendandload, which appears, so the code is executing, but the sendandload is not happening. The page ID is  in the sendandLoad, send_email_u2course.sendAndLoadVars.... Is the ID somehow changed when imported as a model?      > From: Julian.Tenney at nottingham.ac.uk
