[Xerte] Re: Bootstrap template and export

[Fred Riley]

D'OH!! Yes, I realised that as soon as I hit Send. As Omar Khayyam put it:

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
 Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit,
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
 Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

Which is especially true of archived lists. My only excuse is that I posted on a Friday afternoon with a sleep deficit :(

I do want to add that the Bootstrap template is pretty damned good, so kudos to all those who developed it.

We're looking into that.

As for your point 1. It would require import... ;-)

I suspect that this is a FAQ. I've just noticed (belatedly) that LOs from the Bootstrap template can't be exported, because there's no Export option in Properties. Searching the list archives, I found a thread at:

http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2013-June/016172.html

on this very topic, in which Pat detailed a rather (but necessarily) faffy workaround. Is it still the case that BS LOs can't be exported, and if so is this something that the development community is looking at for future versions? What technical problems stand in the way of export? I understand that import of a BS LO wouldn't work as import requires a file in XOT format.

I ask for two reasons:

1. Enabling zipfile export is very handy to transfer/copy LOs from one server to another, particularly if you want to share with another institution that might need to tweak the LO to local circumstances (changing logo, footer etc), as well as for backup.
2. A big selling point of Xerte is that there's no proprietary lockin of content.
