[Xerte] Re: Upgrading xerte online toolkits to 1.8

Should have added the integration doesn't use mnet so you don't need to
change anything with moodle peers etc. You can enable the LTI external tool
functionality but I would get the moodle authentication working first before
even looking at that.

Hi Remy

when you say that you are using the moodle patch do you mean that you are
using the code included in the 1.8 download? It sounds like you are using
the older moodle patch which isn't compatible with 1.8. You'll need to
remove the code that you added from the patch and follow the instructions
included with 1.8 attached.

That incorrect address detected message is a moodle message. You really need
to use http://vhost1.uelconnect.org.uk/xerte for the moodle integration to
work best e.g. the XOT install is installed as part of the Moodle directory.

Hi Ron,

I am finally trying to set up authentication for our site:
http://xerte.uelconnect.org.uk/ and it appears that using a login from
moodle may be our best option; so I tried using your moodlepatch.  But when
I followed the instruction in readme_moodlepatch.txt and tried to login, I
got the following error:

"Incorrect access detected, this server may be accessed only through
"http://vhost1.uelconnect.org.uk" address, sorry. Please notify server
administrator."

Then I was redirected to our moodle site: http://vhost1.uelconnect.org.uk;
but when I logged in, I still couldn't access the XOT site. I am also unable
to add the link to XOT to the Networking peers in Moodle because I don't
know where to get the public key required by Moodle from on Xerte.

We've got Moodle 2.3 and XOT 1.8 installed. 

Regards,

Remy

There's a version.txt file in the root of the zip which should refer to
Xerte Online Toolkits v1.8?

Also there's a moodle_integration_readme.txt which also refers to 1.8?

If the zip you extracted contains these files then are you sure you are
updating the correct installation directory?

As Pat say's your current installation appears to be unauthenticated and is
not 1.8 and doesn't have the 1.8 files.

Hi Ron,

There was no Connectors menu; Text, Media, Navigators, Charts,
Interactivity, Misc but no Connectors:). 

I am not sure what's missing but someone else on the list checked the site
and confirmed it is still 1.7 before I downloaded the zip file again.  The
site is here: http://xerte.uelconnect.org.uk/ by the way.

Regards,

Remy

What you've created is a new empty project without any pages.

Select it - so that it's highlighted in your workspace

Select Edit - the editor window opens

Select Insert > and choose a category of page types and then the page type
you wish to insert

Here's a screencast showing the various page types under the Text menu

http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/resources/xerte#p7HGMpc_1_3

My previous question was if you select Insert do you see a Connectors menu?
If so you have upgraded to 1.8

What are your colleagues saying that is missing? What are they expecting to
see?

I am sorry but I must be missing something. I tried your instructions, 

clicked on Create (right panel)

entered a name for a project

a new window opened and I clicked on publish (no idea how else to proceed
from there) ... nothing happened.

Regards,

Remy
