Using "Download this course," files cannot be browsed locally

Description

Course Home Page image does not display locally because it includes the department in the image urls. In a sample IMS package the <img> tag looks like this: src="/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love/photo-of-david-oconnor" when it should probably look like this: src="ancient-wisdom-modern-love/photo-of-david-oconnor"

This is true of all images in an IMS export (aka Download this course) package.

OK, I tried this on a USU OCW course and only the course home page image didn't load. Everything else worked fine. But on 3 different Notre Dame OCW courses I see this problem, so here they are: http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/introduction-to-philosophy-1 http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/introduction-to-philosophy- http://ocw.nd.edu/philosophy/ancient-wisdom-modern-love

  • priority changed from major to critical
  • summary changed from Using "Download this course," images do not display locally to Using "Download this course," files cannot be browsed locally

This issue has to do with the fact that we switched over to using IMS packages for "Download this course" file. It looks like eduCommons uses the various content object titles (instead the file names) to create the "Download this course" zip file in eduCommons 3.1.1. This is why we are seeing all the files without the extensions (.doc, .jpg, etc). Unfortunately there is no quick fix for this problem. In our next release we will revise the way IMS files are created so that clicking "Download this course" will give you a zip package that you can browse locally.
