[Xerte] Re: Question about published content and PHP

[Smith, John]

Hi Naveed,

If you have made the LO public and are using a url pointing to the xerte server, most likely ending in play.php?id=xx (where xx is the id of the learning object) then yes it still hits the database to resolve details about the LO and to update some stats...

If you have exported a zip file (either archive or scorm) from Properties -> Export tab and placed this on a server or run it locally then no, it no longer needs access to the original server or database and can in fact run offline...

Regards,

John Smith | Learning Technologist

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Question about published content and PHP

I mean the actual content that is accessible to users, not the publishing process.

I think embedded content needs PHP, i.e. the php player, but content exported as SCORM does not. I doubt either need to make calls to the database via php.

Thanks.

By published - you mean "made public and the published button has been clicked"?
Else my last answer is wrong

Published by clicking on publish still means the playing on a project uses PHP to decide various things, and in doing so uses the database as well

A related question, if the database 'crashes', will this affect any
published content?

Thanks.

It shouldn't do, bar the API calls / RSS feeds?

Hi,

Newbie question : I assume the published content (HTML5) does not
make
calls to the application server (re: PHP), is this correct?
