Hi all, Early next week I want to release EClass.Builder 2.5 b3 but I wanted to get some feedback to make sure it was running OK on other peoples' machines first. You can download it here: http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/eclass-builder2.5b3.exe I've added a few new features because they didn't take much work to put in and people were asking for them. =) These include: - Theme Manager (Tools->Theme Manager): visually preview themes and set the theme for the current EClass - Link Checker (Tools->Link Checker): Check your web hyperlinks for broken links (EClass checks internal links whenever you save or edit pages) - Theme Refresh (File->Refresh Theme): If you make changes to your Theme, you can use this command to apply those changes to your EClass - Cut/Copy/Paste: You can now cut, copy and paste the pages in your course to move them around. Drag and drop will likely make it into a future release, but it's a bit more complicated than I anticipated! - Import File (Page->Import File...): This command lets you add a PDF file, PowerPoint file, Flash movie, or whatever as a page. From here, my focus will be on documenting this version, updating the program to use the new icon and splash screen (and possibly a couple other cosmetic changes), and developing an updated web site to announce the new version and to highlight some of the changes that have happened in the program over the last year. Once all this has taken place, I will release a new version with a new tutorial and everything working as it should be, in English. I will also 'unveil' the web site on www.eclass.net. At this point, only bug fix changes will be made. Also at this point, if we have some folks who can do the translation work, I will submit all the new text introduced for French and Spanish translation. Once those changes have been made, and any remaining bugs resolved, I will release the new version as a final version. BTW, for those Mac users out there, I needed to add some fixes to the Mac version of wxPython for Mozilla to work with it, and those changes will make it into the next version of wxPython, due out probably within a month. Shortly thereafter, with any luck, you will get a Mac version of EClass.Builder 2.5 that matches the entire featureset of the windows version. =) Thanks, Kevin |

Hi Kevin, What is the difference between Karrigell.exe and the httpserver.exe? (btw I am using 2.5b3 on a w2k machine) I have noticed that the autorun.inf now points to Karrigell.exe and not httpserver.exe. I have tried using the Karrigell.exe several times, but it doesn't want to open the swish-e search page. I am now getting python errors when using the Karrigell.exe. (attached) Ideas? Comments? Also the httpserver now seems to be running rrrrreal slow. Thanks, BJ William 'BJ' Cameron Payson Center Tulane University |

This will let me extend the features of the CD version without considerably bloating the overall size of the CD. > I have noticed that the autorun.inf now points to Karrigell.exe and not > httpserver.exe.

As for the Karrigell problems, one thing I saw several times is that it was looking for FrontPage files that didn't exist, which was causing a 'crash' in Python. This is really strange. The strange thing is that even though they don't exist, IE is requesting them so it must think that it exists for some reason. I can probably make a workaround so that this 'fails' more gracefully. (i.e. does not produce an error) It seems to always happen with DOC files. Hmmm... This may explain the annoying problems that we have with Word asking for a name and password when you click to view a document. Maybe what is happening is that IE is programmed to, whenever you access a Word document (or office document) over the web, check the server to see if the document can be edited, and if so, provide the username/password prompt. Since this functionality would only work with FrontPage, it looks for a FrontPage information file which in this case doesn't exist. In any case, I'll try and patch this up and get a fix out in the next couple days. Thanks, Kevin |

Hello Kevin, I can't figure out how to use themes and templates. I've had a problem with my pages. All pages are meant to have the same look. I've used a table, with three rows. You can see what I mean at http://www.knowledgefordevelopment.com/Teaching/ICTen/ICTs-Intro/index.h tm . The top and bottom rows are mainly for looks, they have a blue background and the middle row is for the main body of the text of that page. When I make revisions, the top row has a tendency to disappear for some reason. If I edit the page and reinsert the top row, then the next page loses its top row. I'm trying to find an effective way to have a consistent look for all pages without using the table if that's creating a problem. Is the answer a template or a theme? I don't understand how to use either. Barbara Fillip Knowledge for Development, LLC http://www.knowledgefordevelopment.com |

Hello all, I have come across a couple of differences between putting hyperlinks in an eClass page using the html editor of your choice vs. using hotlinks to create such links. 1. You can't link to other eClass pages using your html editor. You can only do that with hotlinks. (??) 2. When you create a link to a file (in the file folder)... a. if you are using hotlinks, the file will open in a new window b. if you are inserting a hyperlink using your html editor, the file will open in the main content frame rather than a new window. Is this true in all cases or just the result of settings on my computer? Barbara Fillip |
