The problem is that if there are lengthy discussions of a technical nature on the xerteforteachers list we get teachers unsubscribing so we have to be careful to avoid that if possible. You ought to be able to resolve why you can't post here - perhaps try unsubscribing and subscribing with a different email?

If it is that try making them both the same - you might need to edit the xerte url in the site details table.

Does the xerte install work ok with guest rather than moodle authentication set in auth_config.php? It sounds like the integration_path is set correctly otherwise you wouldn't be prompted to login to moodle.

When xerte is within the Moodle directory it automatically redirects upon login just like it does when visiting a moodle resource or activity direct. The fact that it doesn't when xerte is outside the Moodle directory is a security protection within Moodle code and nothing to do with Xerte itself.
