[Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

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

Hi all,

Two versions, you say? Yes, there are two versions. Let me explain a 
bit more, and then I'll give the links.

In October, Bill contracted a company in Columbia named Parquesoft 
(http://www.parquesoft.com) to develop a Spanish version of EClass, and 
also to make any changes/improvements they saw necessary. They released 
a draft to us last week, and I would like to get your comments on some 
of the new features. This is not an "official" release of EClass; it is 
for testing and review purposes only. Some of the things they have done 
are:

1. Of course, added a translation system into EClass with Spanish 
translations

2. Added an "Authors/Instructors" list. (There is a bug and it is not 
saving data currently, but please review the interface.)

3. Changed the EClass Page editor to be more graphical and use a 
'tab-based' format.

It is important to note that this demo is based upon EClass.Builder 
2.0beta 3, and does not properly open EClass Pages built with other 
versions of EClass (they made some changes to the format), so please 
test it by creating a new course. You can download the prototype at:

http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/eclass_parquesoft.zip (double-click on 
"editor.exe" to start.

In the meantime, I have been at work on making some improvements to 
EClass.Builder 2.0. I have posted an "alpha" of the next version, 2.1, 
for download. The URL is:

http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/EClass-Builder2.1a1.exe  (for Mac 
users: http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/EClassBuilder21a1.dmg)

What's changed?

- New Quiz page format. To create a quiz, select "Page->Add New->Quiz" 
from the menu bar, or right-click and select "Add New->Quiz". Currently 
it only works with multiple choice, and auto-grades, but support for 
more formats and submitting results to the Instructor are on the 
drawing board.

- EClass now warns about files which have more than 31 characters in 
the file name, and can automatically rename them. Files with more than 
31 characters were being renamed on OS 9, thus causing some of the 
links to break.

- Fixed a problem with the credit handling that caused credit boxes 
containing quotation marks to partially appear on the page, instead of 
a new window.

- Should fix problems with the "edit" button not working with files 
over a network on Windows

- On Mac: Now has the standard Mac install procedure - none! Just drag 
the EClass.Builder file into your /Applications folder to install! (and 
into the trash to uninstall!)

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevino,

Regarding the Parquesoft version of EClass:

I extracted the file eclass_parquesoft.zip and ran the editor.exe file, I
got the opening screen, selected English and clicked  "Ok".

Nothing happened.
Am I suppose to extract the file to a specific location?


I tried this on Windows XP Pro and Win98, same result.

Thanks,

BJ

Re: [Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

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

Hi BJ (and all),

Sorry about that, my mistake. I took out a few source files which I had
thought were unnecessary, but turns out they are still needed in the binary.

I posted an updated version at the same URL:

http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/eclass_parquesoft.zip

As before, just double-click on "editor.exe" to begin!

Thanks,

Kevin

Re: [Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

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

Hi,

I like the new Page Edit Window, very easy and attractive.


Two bugs:
1. On startup: this error message appears:


2. When saving a page this error appears:

I know the disk space is not true, and no foreign characters that I know =
of.

The preview pane is not working and the published version is a bunch of =
"page can not be displayed"
I am assuming this is because the error from above.

Thanks,

BJ

Re: [Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

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

Hi BJ (and all),

I wasn't aware of the startup error, but there have been problems with=20=

saving pages. There are several known bugs in this version, which=20
Parquesoft will be fixing over the next month or so. Also, since they=20
worked from EClass.Builder 2.0 beta 3, there are also some bugs from=20
older versions of EClass present that will be fixed when it is merged=20
into the main codebase. This version is basically a prototype to get=20
your thoughts on the interface changes and new features.

Also, could you re-send the startup error? The graphic didn't come=20
through.

Thanks,

Kevin

RE: [Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

[Eliel O. <eol...@tu...>]

Hi Kevin,
I've installed the Spanish version from a CD that Maria has here. The
installation went fine. However, when I tried to create a new course,
without specifying the location for courses on the HD the Eclass gives
an error message, the problem is that the message is in English!! :) 
The same thing has also happened when I was on the windows Editor de
pagina EClass and tried to save. I got an error message saying "The was
an error publishing the Eclass page to HTML. Please check...". I believe
this is also a message of Eclass that is in English as well.
Hope this helps. Thanks,
Eliel.

Subject: Re: [Eclass-users] Two new EClass versions for testing

Hi BJ (and all),

Sorry about that, my mistake. I took out a few source files which I had
thought were unnecessary, but turns out they are still needed in the
binary.

I posted an updated version at the same URL:

http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/eclass_parquesoft.zip

As before, just double-click on "editor.exe" to begin!

Thanks,

Kevin
