I want to import cource material from Didac into my ATutor installation.
In the imsmanifest i learn that the content is : "WebTop trainer 4.7 Learning Object"
It also states : adlcp:scormtype="sco"
Is it possible to get the pakage into Atutor as "ATutor content"?

it would be with the SCORM module, install it by logging in as admin, go to -> modules -> scorm -> install. then "enable".
then, in a course you will find it under manage -> SCORM packages -> import package.
this will work if your material is SCORM 1.2

Thanks a lot, Vegard (takk for raskt svar :) )
I have a lot of trouble, though in installing the scorm modules.
ATutor insists that the sco directory is not writeable, and I have tried changing it to 777 with FTP, via shell etc. I have also tried to delete it and create it again - to no luck....
2008-07-01 07:01:49
ingen rsak :)
I'll continue in english for other users:
it might be that the SCO directory is not recursively writable, so the sco/ directory itself is writable but not any folders the actual SCO packages tries to create in it.
so try "chmod 755 -R sco" in a shell and see if that helps.

Hmm. Still does not work. I created the sco directory in a shell, chmod as above to 755 recursively.
ATutor still says sco is not writeable, and when checking with filezilla the sco now is 666 ??

I tried to install SCORM module on my own web server. It installed without any problems! All problems above appears on a hosted server.
The file does not actually import, though. ATutor now says "Problem with package directory", after the file is uploaded
:(

hm, I'm afraid this is a bit above my level of knowledge, but it still seems like a permission problem.
who has ownership to the sco folder? it might be that you created the sco folder, while the webserver tries to create more folders under it, and cannot as it's not in the same group as you..?
it doesn't work with 777 either? or are you not allowed to chmod the folder to 777?
2008-07-01 09:05:55
It seems like this has forked into two different problems now...
1. On my hosted server the Scorm module won't install because of file permission problems. This is probably not an ATutor issue, and I can live with it for now.
2. On my own server the module installs fine. When trying to import the package i get the error message "Problem with package directory".
All I need is to get the content into ATutor. In the "Content" directory there are 100+ html files and all images / pdf's etc. is in the same directory....
Thanks for all help so far.

There should only be directories inside the content/ directory. Files should be uploaded to sub directories identified by numerics course IDs. You should not upload with FTP but instead use the File Manager to upload files.
Create a new sco/ directory inside the main/root directory of atutor (ATutor/sco/) then set its permissions with:
chmod a+rwx sco/
(the same as "chmod 777 sco/")
(if necessary, move the old directory to the side using the mv command)
As Vegard suggested, make sure you are uploading SCORM 1.2 SCOs, rather than SCORM 2004 SCO's, the latter will not work.

Thanks, Greg! Will try your suggestions.
Is there a way to determine what SCORM version the package are?
And if they are 2004 - is there a tool to convert back into 1.2?
2008-07-02 09:03:09
look at the top of the imsmanifest.xml file in the SCO. It should list the SCORM version
2008-07-02 09:21:35
This is the content of the imsmanifest.xml file:
[php]<manifest identifier="WTTManifest4700" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.imsproject.org/xsd/imscp_rootv1p1p2 imscp_rootv1p1p2.xsd http://www.imsglobal.org/xsd/imsmd_rootv1p2p1 imsmd_rootv1p2p1.xsd http://www.adlnet.org/xsd/adlcp_rootv1p2 adlcp_rootv1p2.xsd">
<organizations default="WTT_001">
<organization identifier="WTT_001">
<title>WebTop trainer 4.7 Learning Object</title>
<item identifier="ITEM_01" identifierref="SCO_01">
<title>Introduction</title>
</item>
</organization>
</organizations>
<resources>
<resource identifier="SCO_01" type="webcontent" href="default.htm" adlcp:scormtype="sco">
<file href="default.htm"/>
</resource>
</resources>
</manifest>[/php]
Does this file indicate Scorm version?
I "solved" the problem with the following work around:
1. Zip all images, pdf etc. and upload it via the file manager.
2. Cut-paste all HTML files into each new content page.
3. Cut-paste questions from the xml files in the package.

It appears to be a content package, rather than a SCO. Try importing it through:
Manage>Content>Import Content
2008-07-02 18:41:05
That results in just one new content page, wich is a "splash" page for the course (index.html):
<div style="font-family: Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">
This course should automatically open in a new window.
If it does not, please click <a href="javascript: GetOnTop()">here</a> to open it manually.
</div>
If I use the file manager I find the file above and a sub directory with the same name as my .zip package. In this sub directory all other contents have been extracted....
