[Building Sakai] SAK-800

Wed Mar 23 08:00:57 PDT 2011

Sak-800 is committed but commented out.  So all you'll need to do is check out Kernel's Trunk (https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/kernel/trunk/) and apply the latest kernel patch at https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-273.  Then make you sure set the correct sakai.properties below: (false is the default, but if you want to enable them, set it to true)

//overrides .expand and .compress 
resources.zip.enable=false  (default)

resources.zip.enable.expand=false  (default)
resources.zip.enable.compress=false (default)

resources.zip.expand.max=1000 (default)

Wimba Create produces a little website with  all the pages containing relative links to each other. So, not only do I need to unzip the content, I probably need to write a base tag into every page so the links work.

This is configurable and I feel that this is a good low tech approach to preventing a DOS from large zip files.  Also, you can choose to only have the ability to "Expand a zip" option and turn off the "Compress to zip" option (or visa versa)

Unless there was an issue with the 'upload and unzip a zip into resources' functionality that I'm not catching in the various JIRAs, what about just implemented                                                           that part of the functionality? It seems a shame to reject a feature because it's partner misbehaves.

I can't find a flash widget that will let you attach folders, and I think that is key, for people who are uploading say a bunch of html content that is all linked together.
