About

This blog aims at sharing the highs and lows of leading (as for being slightly ahead and making slightly more decisions) the Dokeos development.

I’m Yannick Warnier, the current official lead developer of the Dokeos company, a very small, very dynamic structure which seems to work better every day. I’ve been working there since 2004 and made considerable contributions to this nice open-source e-learning piece of software.
I hope you will enjoy the articles on this blog, or at least find useful information. Have a great day!

    Hey Yannick:

    How are you? Hope all’s well.

    You had replied to one of my forum posts regarding the release date of the VideoConference 2.0 module. Thanks. I installed the module and it works fine, with the exception of the fact that the video resolution within Virtual Meeting is very small. The video stream windows are small, and I would like to make them bigger. I posted a message in the forum a week ago, asking if anybody knew how to do this, but haven’t received any responses to that.

    Could you please let me know if this is possible, and if so, how? Same goes for the video stream resolution in Virtual Classroom.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Regards,

    Viraf

    Hello again Yannick:

    I posted a question on the Dokeos forum a month ago. I waited patiently for someone to answer, but nobody seems to have an answer to it. So I’m wondering if you could shed some light on it.

    Here it is:

    I know you are super-busy, but if you can reply to it, IF and when you get the time, I would be much obliged.

    Thanks for your help.

    Viraf

    Hi there,

    I’m replying right now, but the answer to how to change images inside the classroom.swf is complicated enough. Please see on the forum in a few minutes.
    You can generally expect an answer in a week, any more than that and I give you the right to complain directly to me :-)

    Hi Yannick,

    I followed your instructions for re-compiling the VideoConf 2.0 module, but apparently there are some files which are missing in the SVN. I checked the forum for solutions, and have found that other users are experiencing similar problems too. Here is the post explpaining what other users, and I have experienced:

    http://www.dokeos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=42747#42747

    The posts are about two months old, and nobody has offered any solutions, so I was wondering if you could kindly look into it whenever you get some time.

    Thank you for your help.

    Regards,

    Viraf

    I’m actually quite ashamed. I didn’t know about these problems and the fault is apparently at least half mine. There was an horrible mixup in the commit of the resource files.

    Anyway, Arnaud is also the best :-) I just had to commit and use his scripts to test the compilation.

    I didn’t try the results of the compilation though, so let me know if anything goes wrong. At least you can compile now.
