Forum .LRN Q&A: LORS Course Viewing Problem

This is a namespace conflict with the Tcl procedured I added to the content repository on HEAD.

I'll try to figure out a backwards compatible fix. A temporary solution is to change the call to item::get_live_revision to ::item::get_live_revision which will be sure to use the item base namespace instead of the content base namespace.

where else beside index.vuh do i have to make the chnages?

Appreciate if someone could let me know at which tag of cvs for acs-content-repository could I use to install LORS without any of the errors above, I'm using dotlrn 2.0.3 tarball with and upgraded file-storage and all it's (file-storage) dependency packages from HEAD. The acs-content-repository  from HEAD and other packages install cleanly but with above errors when I tried to view the courses that I uploaded successfully. Also, some earlier version from oacs-5-1-0 tag and newer won't install nicely with dotlrn 2.0.3 tarball. I'd made the changes to index.vuh as suggested, but problem still persist.

hi ernie,

thanks for replying, i'm not sure how to get the specific version/snapshot that you specify from cvs, as the HEAD file-storage version is also 5.1.0a3? If i were to check-out acs-core from cvs, can you tell me the tag (-r) ? that i shuld use and also for the corresponding dotlrn tag? If I do this do i still need to check-out specific version of acs-content-repository and file-storage as youi stated above?

Hope these things I'm askin make sense here!!! :), perhaps I'm just gettin everybody confuse...

Well, anyway, thanks for developing LORS and sharing it with the rest of us. I find it very usefull and practical.

Do you think you can provide me with a tarball of the acs-core, dotlrn and lors? I'd showed my boses LORS and they loved it, I'd converted our course content to be scorm compliant SCO, they r big >130MB each and this is why I need to run LORS on our demo dotLRN instance instead of using the one that you made available. If this is possible you can email the tarball to mailto:zainuddin@msu.edu (<64MB attachment is OK) or if there's a site that I could download it from, do let me know.

Have a look at the documentation (http://mlweg.pc.ee.usyd.edu.au:8082/doc/lorsm/) If I remember correctly, I used the tarball from .LRN 2.0.3 to install it. If you follow the installation instructions it should be alright. However, please send me an email if it doesn't work for any reasons so we can modify the instruccions accordingly.

No worries, mate. Glad you find it useful... stick around as there are more features coming 😉

Hello Ina,

The site is up and running, but maybe there's some filtering on ports and that could be the reason you can't access. I have moved the documentation to another server on port 80 so you shouldn't have a problem now.

Thanks,

PS: In addition, I tried to send you an email to your account, but it bounces back (reason: 550 unknown user mailto:zainuddin@msu.edu)

My LORS is up and running !!!!  :)

Anyway, I used the following

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mailto:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot checkout -r oacs-5-1-0-compat openacs-4
