I'll start to add examples and more description on the functions and variables
to the help file. Over the coming months we'll be working more on documentation
/ help.
I'm afraid I don't know how to get Claroline to refresh the status information.
Presumably if you refresh the page it rereshes properly? Could you force a
refresh somehow (get the page to navigate to itself maybe?)
thanks.

Many thanks Tenney!!!.
Answers below. I just use and apply all your responses.
I was exploring the program: amazing. I learnt a lot viewing the
examples and experimenting changes.
It would be very useful to get a manual of functions (an example and
notation of each one) and more examples.
Now i´m with interactions trying to use components and editor (quiz and
other).
The comunication with LMS server is excelent. I only have a little
problem with Claroline when y finish lesson and change the status to completed.
The database already has the data but i´m looking what fscommand i need to use
from Xerte to refresh the Claroline Table frame without reloading all the scorm
to get the green checkmark published.
I will use Xertes shurely. I will bother you with other questions
meanwhile i learn to use it.
Best regards and thanks again
Martin

Hi,
I just got back from holiday and found several questiosn from
you - I've answered them all here...
1) I´m using Xerte for producing SCORM 1.2 compliant packages
in Claroline. How can I resize the window of the browser to use all screen
stage?
In the html page that loads up the flash piece, you can write
script that resizes the window to the size you need. If you look in the html,
right at the bottom of the code is this bit:
rloFile = "%FILE%";
rloWidth = %WIDTH%;
rloHeight = %HEIGHT%;
top.resizeTo(rloWidth + 100,rloHeight + 100);
The last line is what resizes the window, to 100 px wider and
taller than the xerte piece. You can try several approaches to get what you
want. When you've settled on the approach that works for you, you can let every
file you publish use your preferred settings by modifying the scormRLO.htm file
in /SCORM/ folder. It is this file that is copied to the project folder when
you publish, so any changes you make to that file will be used every time you
package a piece.
Make sure you test your approach in several different browsers,
as they helpfully all handle the resizeTo(w,h) method differently. That's why I
leave a gutter of 100px.
>>>Function excelent as you said. Claroline works at all now.
2) When using SHIFT-F5 to adjust objects, Xertes saves
automatically the content (not asking for it).
Xerte saves the file when you preview it. I could, if you want
look at getting Xerte to create the backup for you every time a file is opened.
Then, when you quit Xerte, the prompt can say save changes' and if you say 'no'
we can roll back to the old version of the file. Would that work for you?
>>> Excelent solution. Now, i need to make the backup manually
before starting edition from a file; if I made a mistake (the program hasn´t
any "undo" function) i have this manual backup. Your solution is very good..
3) Sometimes when you make changes, and publish, it seems
Xertes do not overwrite old archives: they must be erased from the directory to
get the new changes
I've not found this. Can you describe step by step so I can
reproduce it?
>>> When I edit a file, publish scorm, uplod this scorm to site
and finding an error; editing again (same folder, same file)--> publishing --->
upload: nothing changed. When wiewing the last zip file i found the files
hasn´t change: it seems that zipping twice in the same dir the program doesn´t
change the original zip.
4) How can I produce a resources.swf file with fonts i need?
Create a folder with the fonts in it you want to compile into
resources.swf. From the file menu, select 'compile library'. Browse to your
fonts folder, and say 'OK'. Resources.swf will be created for you. Restart
Xerte and load up your file again to load the resources. If you have a font
called frutiger.ttf, you use it in xerte with the name 'frutiger' (i.e. the
file name without the .ttf). Incidentally, you can include graphics and swf
files in the library folder and then use attachMovie to display them using the
same method: the library id will be the filename without the extension.
>>>Thanks: works fine!!

Hi!
I´m using Xerte for producing SCORM 1.2 compliant packages in
Claroline.
How can I resize the window of the browser to use all screen
stage?
When the scorm launch in the LMS, the stage area defined in
Xertes package is used by the "navigation pane" of the LMS AND the "content
pane" of the Xerte´s scorm page. (the full screen is resized when loaded)
The area defined in Xertes is used for both frames in the LMS
resulting in a reduced area por the Xertes content. I can manually resize to
use all the screen, but the package "reduce" it again when reloaded.
This do not happen with SCORM packages produced with eXe.
Thanks
Martin
