[Eclass-users] Problems and a solution!!

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

Hi Kevino,

Greenstone is not working properly with EClass 2.5b4. Besides the =
problem I mentioned yesterday:
  1.. The home.dm macro does not display the Eclass start page "Start =
Eclass", but rather the standard Greenstone interface. =20
  2.. The EClass directory is not in the "C:\Program =
Files\gsdl\tmp\<publication ID>\gsdl=20
  3.. Finally, If you search your results, the "pub" directory is double =
entered, for example
  http://127.0.0.1:1026/eclass/pub/pub/New_Page_2.htm , while in the =
past it was
  http://127.0.0.1:1026/eclass/pub/New_Page_2.htm

I had problems with Theme manager, See:

http://payson.tulane.edu/staff/bjcameron/errlog.txt

This occurred after I copied my template from a previous EClass, bad =
template? The worse thing is that I seem to have corrupted my Default =
(frames) template. While using a Bad template is not Eclass' fault, =
people will write bad templates, and EClass needs to recover...no?

Now, Whenever I click on Default (frames) it gives me a "preparing to =
update E-Class", but nothing happens.=20
If I publish or preview, In the  "main" frame, I get "cannot find page". =
I copied the themes directory over from another installation, and that =
still hasn't fixed the problem. The problem itself seems to be isolated =
to that one eclass. I have since opened other eclasses and they update =
and refresh the theme fine.

<<<<Later>>>
I tried copying the same template again, and it worked fine. I think the =
key may be that you need to close eclass first, then copy the template =
in. Doesn't make sense though as the changes don't occur until after you =
"Refresh the Theme".



I found a fix for the search using Swish-e. I copied an old version of =
the zlib.dll into C:\Program Files\EClass.Builder 2.5b4\SWISH-E =
directory. Now everything works fine, (indexing and searching).  What is =
up with the Zlib1.dll and zlib-1.dll that are currently in that =
directory?



Have a good weekend,

BJ
