[Xerte] Re: Xerte upgrade and API

[Pat Lockley]

There are two new tables in the database, but one does nothing unless you want it to, and the other is optional.

The ldap table facilitates multiple ldap hosts in a neater way before, but is only use if the sitedetails table lacks LDAP

The sessions table can be used if you want to, but the code that uses it is commented out by default (it is in config.php)

Code can be replaced and the database remains the same. You can ignore the new tables if you want.

I hit upon the idea that my colleague and the other users should export their modules from the old version and import them into the new. My colleague can do this for his learning objects but as regards the other users he is not so sure about.

I have seen any documents describing how Xerte Online Toolkits is put together so although I have looked around the backend PHP code it seems non-trivial to write my own.
