Re: [Eclass-users] problems

oooo, editing over a hundred pages manually would get rough, especially =
since you would have to it at the very end.=20

Importing xls files are relatively easy.=20

Method 1:
Click on the "page" menu and select "import file...". Fill in the dialog =
boxes and in the "page content" box click on the open folder icon to =
browse to the xls file.
Having explained method 1, I would recommend against using the import =
file function for XLS files. If your end-users do not have the excel =
viewer, a different browser other than IE, or a different OS, they may =
have problems viewing the XLS file.

Method 2:
In Excel, you can convert the xls to an html page and use this in a =
EClass page. This method will also allow the table to be searchable by =
Greenstone or swish-e.

  BJ,



  By the way, I think I have over a hundred pages, and I know I could =
edit the pub/*.htm files but that would take some time.  I was hoping =
that we could figure something out, cuz I have plenty of time. And, I am =
basically using the html editor as text documents.  I mean I'm not =
really writing any html code, I basically use the editor like word.



  I have question though.  Is it possible to import excel files rather =
than use than inserting table, because you can do so much more with =
excel than with those tables.  just a thought.



  Thanks for all the help,

  Marcus

    Hi Marcus,

    It looks like you discovered a bug and I think I have re-created the =
problem.=20

    I had a hard time re-creating it, because I misunderstood what you =
were saying. When you say the link "disappeared", you didn't mean the =
hyperlinked text, but the link no longer worked. In other words, when =
you click on the link, it shows you  "Page can not be displayed". Is =
this what is happening?

    This was caused by moving a page up. Unfortunately, at this time I =
do not have a solution other than editing the pub/*.htm files, which =
depending on the total number of files could be a tedious task. This =
could be a problem, if you publish or preview again.

    I will be in touch with Kevin, the developer, and we will hopefully =
get a better solution to you.

      BJ,

      I've refreshed the theme already, but that didn't do anything.  I =
think I changed the properties of the pages so that they were true and I =
did move a page up and deleted one. I hope this helps.

        Hi Marcus,

        Thanks for the information.=20

        More than likely you did not edit the theme, it takes a little =
bit of scripting to edit the themes. One suggestion is to refresh the =
theme.  Go the "File" menu, and click on "Refresh Theme".

        Any chance you remember what you were doing before the =
"navigation" links disappeared? Remove a page? Move a page up/down? =
Import?

        Thanks,

        BJ

          BJ,

          I am refering to the "back" and "next" links.  I might have =
edited the template, but I'm not sure what I did and I am using Windows =
NT and Internet Explorer v. 6.  If you need anyother Info.  let me know.

            Hi Marcus,

            Are you referring to the "next" and "back" links? Have you =
been editing the template?

            Sorry, we will need more information to diagnose the issue.  =
What Operating System are using? What browser (please include version)?

            Thanks,

            BJ

              Hi Marcus,

              The developer is currently out of town and I will try to =
answer your questions.

              First and foremost what version of EClass are you using? =
The latest version is 2.5.4.17.  You can download it at:
              =
http://www.eclass.net/Downloads/eclass-builder-2.5.4.17.exe

              The problems you are having sound like bugs that have been =
resolved in the latest version.

              Questions for you:=20
                1.. Are the links that are "disappearing" links that you =
created in an html editor or using hotwords?=20
                2.. How were the html pages created? Is it possibly a =
problem with the html script?
              You should be able to preview your course in a browser on =
another computer, by clicking on the index.html file. As far as sharing =
the EClass course to edit it, you will need to install EClass on the =
other computer.

              Hope this helps.

              Best,

                To whom it may concern,

                I recently finished developing an eclass when all of a =
sudden all the links between the pages disappeared and I have not been =
able to recover them.  I have no idea what I did the make that happen =
but it did, so with this email i'm looking for some help.  Also, I was =
wondering if there was a way I could view my class on another computer =
through a business network or transfer it by jumpdrive.  I already tried =
sharing eclass builder and the files under eclass projects, but i was =
unable to view the project nor open eclass on other computer.  It might =
just be the computers that we have here, although I tried installing the =
program on the test computer also.  I wondering if you had any ideas on =
these two subjects.  By the way, I have not published my class to the =
internet or copied it to a cd yet.

                Extremely frustrated,
