Talk:Upgrade Dokeos 1.5.x to Dokeos 1.6

From Dokeos

the index.php page inside every course folder has to be changed (best is probably to delete it and rewrite from scratch). This is necessary because the course imports another script using a relative path.

Why is it necessary to create such an index.php for every course? Now the homepage links to server/coursecode/index.php. Why can't we change this to something like server/claroline/course_home/course_home.php?cidReq=coursecode ? - Bmollet 16:09, 30 Mar 2005 (CEST)

this is indeed possible. However, a URL like the first one is easier on the eyes which is still important. With the new visibility settings, people can really bookmark a course that is open to the world and surf to it. Also, it's more logical since people can link to coursecode/documents/test.html, when they remove the latter part they end up again at coursecode/ which is convenient and in my opinion good behavior many websites have.

example resources: example links, agenda items, announcements, documents have no entry in item_property and will therefore not show (Pcool)

Is this really an update issue? In a Dokeos 1.5 installation, those example items are just like all other items. So when the update script adjusts the item_property table for ALL items in a course, the example items will be included? The 1.6 course creation script should take the item_property table into account for example items. Bmollet 09:14, 19 May 2005 (CEST)

intallation => example resources must have an entry in the item_properties, Upgrade => existing documents, links, ... must have an entry in the item_propertiesPcool 013:04, 19 May 2005 (CEST)
