Hi John
yes it is that sandpit. I've been busy with other things but had tested when first reported to the helpdesk and couldn't reproduce the issue. However more than one person has reported it now so I'm going to investigate further...
Cheers
Ron

Is it this sandpit http://vle.jisctechdis.ac.uk/sandpit/

I just tried in Chrome and created a new LO, added a few pages and hit play and it worked flawlessly...

Hi

RE: Xerte Sandpit  *ref#24-26212

I've been having this problem for a few days now.  I've tried in different browsers (Chrome & Internet Explorer) and at home and at work.

It only applies to new learning objects - if I use one that I made before I started having problems (or re-import an old one) I don't have problems.

Bizarrely if I duplicate one that works, I can't edit the copy version.

I hope this helps.  I'm really missing this invaluable tool.

Though subsequent to my last message - if I try and set one up myself and refresh the browser it still does not work!
Best wishes

Hi
when you login to the sandpit and see your xerte workspace you'll see I've cleared your test LO's and added two new tests which both work. If you get this issue again try refreshing the browser window and if when creating a new project you get any empty projects like in the screenshot you provided delete it, refresh and try again.
Let us know if that works?
Regards
Ron

Dear Team

I have created an account, gone into Xerte through online toolkits and the sandpit, clicked on create in both the xerte online toolkit template and the website/bootstrap template. I then click on either of the newly named documents, click edit and the popup that appears as the Xerte online editor window does not work. There are no fields in the editor window and the add button is greyed out (see screen shot). I have followed the instructions as in the video and can't work out why. I have allowed pop ups, opened this in different browsers, opened it on another lap top and still can't get it to work. Currently I am using windows 8.1 but the other laptop was windows 7.
Please can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks
Susan
