Hi BJ,

Here's a new version which should fix the bugs you've come across:

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

I think we have got a winner. I have found no bugs, give me a day but I
think this one is ready for general release.

I have got a few recommendations for the next version:

1.  If you enable search (swish-e)and publish to CD-ROM, then publish to a
Website, the "Search" is still available in the TOC, but does not work on
the web.  I would recommend either removing the "Search" from the published
website version or enabling a web search engine. I have used PHPsiteSearch
http://php.warpedweb.net/sitesearch/ on several of my online EClasses and
found it to work well.

2. Imported files should open in a new window not the main window. I still
get a lag when I open Acrobat files and it would be congruous with how media
files open.

Re: [Eclass-users] Latest version of Eclass

[Kevin O. <ke...@tu...>]

Hi BJ,

Thanks for pointing out the search issue for the web site. That should 
really be for the next release, so I should be able to remove it for 
this release. I'll wait a day to see if anything else is reported, then 
if all looks good, I'll post a final release.

Kevin

Re: [Eclass-users] Latest version of Eclass--new problem with Greenstone

[BJ C. <ca...@tu...>]

Hi Kevino,

When I was at the office yesterday, I was working on Win2K machine. Today, I
thought I would try to replicate the Greenstone problems on my WIN XP
machine. I am no longer getting the problem ("There are 0 ways to find
information in this collection: "). I tried on another Win2K machine at home
and still no problem... This one seems to be isolated to that one machine.
Let's leave it at that.

However there is a new problem, the search is finding pages from previous
(EClass) collections. I deleted everything in the C:\Program
Files\gsdl\tmp\exported_collections folder and republished. Same problem.

It seems all new collections get put into the exported_collections folder.
Shouldn't they be in seperate sub-folders?

Ideas?

Good news is the links in the results are working great!

thanks,

BJ

There are two possible issues here - one is that EClass creates a 
Greenstone "collection" and this collection may contain old files. The 
other is that EClass' pub folder may actually contain old HTML files 
from long ago. Delete the Greenstone collection and the files in the 
pub folder, then do a "Refresh Theme" and publish again. I'll have to 
think of a good way to delete these old files without accidently 
deleting what's needed.

Thanks,

Kevin

Promise you won't kill me...I made a huge goof. In the Project Settings,
Search tab, Publication ID, I thought I was typing random numbers/letters,
but I actually typed the same letter combination in the two courses, so it
found both course content.

The software is only as smart as the user.

I think this is a wrap before I drive you crazy. You should release it to
the general public.

Re: [Eclass-users] Latest version of Eclass

[BJ C. <ca...@tu...>]

Hi Kevino,

We have got a small problem with EClass/Greenstone Search Results. The
search works fine, but the results point to the EClass root directory
instead of EClass/pub/ directory

http://127.0.0.1/eclass/demo_web_page.htm

while it should be

http://127.0.0.1/eclass/pub/demo_web_page.htm



Thanks,

BJ
