Forum .LRN Q&A: Re: dotlrn-xowiki and xowiki-portlet available

Hy Gustaff,

Thank you very much for this. I was already losing a lot of time, because one of my clients requested the same thing. I can say you saved me a lot of time, and I'm very thankful for this.

I'm still trying to install it, but I have a question: does it work on dotLRN 2.2.0? The dependencies say that it doesn't, but I really didn't want to upgrade right now. I have a large system, and upgrade it allways gives a hard time. Is there anyway I can make it work on dotLRN 2.2.0?

Hi Gustaf,

I checked the changes and the packages seem to work very well in dotlrn 2.2.0. Maybe you should change the number in the .info.

I've got:
xowiki 0.47
xotcl-core 0.47
xowiki-portlet 1.0.2
dotlrn-xowiki 1.0.2
(both from CVS)
dotlrn 2.2.0

I bumped down the version number of dotlrn required to 2.2.0 to allow the install as Eduardo did.

I followed the instructions through to clicking on:

Add New Xowiki Portlet

This should add a new xowiki portlet but I get an error message as follows:

Any ideas anyone?

cheers

hmm, you need either http://cvs.openacs.org/cvs/openacs-4/packages/xowiki/www/admin/portal-element-add.tcl?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
or a newer version of xowiki (e.g. 0.50).

To ease release management, we will store a "stable version" of xowiki in the oacs-5-3 branch in the future.

What do you mean by adding "podcast page as portlet"? the podcast itself is an xml file, rendering it passes xml mime-type, etc. That can't be embedded. The usual approach is to provide a link for the podcast. What we have done for the openacs-conference http://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/conf2007/ was to add a podcast icon with a link, as in:

[[image:podcast.jpg|Download Conference Presentationa as as Podcast|-href itpc://oacs-dotlrn-conf2007.wu-wien.ac.at/conf2007/podcast]]

For providing a link to a single podcast content file, use
[[file:ACSkonferenz_neumann_xowiki_cutVGA.mp4|Presentation Neumann]]

Thanks for this link. Do you know how this would be possible, if the podcast is on an https:// webserver?

URL: https://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast

If I link to itpc://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast it opens itunes, but itunes looks for http://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast not https://learn.bildungsserver.com/podcast.

Any ideas?
