[Xerte] Re: export function failure in XOT, no zip generated

Tue Aug 21 16:58:53 BST 2012

Hi Pat,

Thanks, this indeed helped in shedding some light on the error. 
I have made a few more tests and it seems that the export function doesn't like the '&' character. If you have such character in your XOT project's content, the export may fails with this kind of error:

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/xertetoolkits/USER-FILES/5-guest2-Nottingham/template.xml:1: parser error : EntityRef: expecting ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\website_code\php\xmlInspector.php on line 26

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): <li> StratÃ©giques : <i>ERP, R&D, CRM, â€¦</i></li> in C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\website_code\php\xmlInspector.php on line 26

Warning: simplexml_load_file(): ^ in C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\website_code\php\xmlInspector.php on line 26

Fatal error: Call to a member function xpath() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\website_code\php\xmlInspector.php on line 28

In the above example, I used the term "R&D". Any solution to avoid this symptom when using the character in question?

Much appreciate your help on this.

Thanks and regards, 
/L

I would suggest editting config.php on your localhost.

Set development to be true

then try again
