OK thanks. Does that mean it's enabled by default despite being set to
false, or just that the property literally does nothing? And should I still ensure accessibility _isEnabled is always true?
@PhotographyCamp_twitter @tomgreenfield @squire:privacytools.io @moloko and anyone else interested: in an effort to provide more support for issues with installing mongo, I created a new wiki page, Ensure MongoDB is Running, and linked it in a couple of places within Installing the Authoring Tool. Also added a couple more tips/notes in that Installing page in the section about MongoDB and in 3. Install the Required npm Packages. General feedback and reporting typos is welcomed. Please private message me.

And thanks to @PhotographyCamp_twitter for supplying source material.
what's the best way to get the example course into the AT? I've always wondered why there isn't one there by default after a fresh install.
yeah that's what i'd default to as well. could the same be achieved by downloading directly from the repo? so downloading a zip of https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework or its /src directory?
plugins aren't in the repo
they get install by npm
yeah I assumed there would be some reason for not implementing it (yet/ever)
having trouble importing the course now. I zipped up the framework course from the root, so it contains node_modules etc. I haven't removed anything, but it won't import. hard to tell if it's a server issue or import issue
Must be the way I zipped it:
Encountered an unexpected file structure. Please check you have uploaded a valid export package and try again.
The course folder structure looks like this:
node_modules
src
adapt.json
CHANGELOG.md
GRUNT.md
Gruntfile.js
INSTALL.md
jsconfig.json
LICENSE
package.json
package-lock.json
README.md
Plus, sometimes "file structure" errors are due to whether the zipped file contains or doesn't contain a secondary wrapping folder.
yeah, still struggling, it's annoying as it never seems to work first time. clearly i'm just doing it wrong
ok the zip must be OK as I've managed to import it into my VM instance. just need to figure out why the other server won't import it
it gets to halfway then the progress bar starts from the beginning again :S
... then "course import failed" and no further info
is file size an issue?
max import size can be adjusted
yeah it wasn't in the folder, that's why it worked importing to VM, just won't import into this server. it's only 7.8MB
it must be something specific to this instance
(or server)
ok maybe not, i tested another way by exporting new AT course, then importing, and that works fine... so maybe versioning issue?
maybe some clue in the server logs??
I think it may be a memory issue. I now get this trying to import a ~3MB zip:
Request Entity Too LargeConsole warning:
Will-change memory consumption is too high. Budget limit is the document surface area multiplied by 3 (1803040 px). Occurrences of will-change over the budget will be ignored.
still not sure though. I've just kept my eye on
htop via shell into server, monitoring memory usage, and it wasn't maxing out, so i figure it must be something else...
No idea what this is...
Request Entity Too Large
ah ok, max upload size limit: https://muffingroup.com/blog/request-entity-too-large/
so i'll need to find out how to adjust this for nginx
default for AAT is 200MB, I believe. I've had courses with many images that went higher. Might consider upping that too at this point while you're at it. There's a post or two in the forums about where to do that. (I think the framework might be optimizing images now; but lots of courses authors, in my experience, forget to optimize images before uploading.)
OK got it working :) I just needed to tell nginx to allow uploads of up to 20MB
by default there was no setting at all, so it was potentially not allowing any uploads
thanks for the tips
Hi Not sure if anyone can help but is it possible to change the navigation so that you go from main menu module one to submenu module 1, then back to main menu 2 then submenu 2? I am having issues with quick assessments and end of module assessments that have a 60% pass mark. I am putting the end of module assessment on separate section but don't want to over load the screen with lots of modules. I read something from2016 that it might not be possible in the adapt auth tool version but wondered if things ahad changed and now you can alternate between sub menu and main menu?
