First I have to manage to get the files there. Look at the topmost patch in the xs-config repo right now. It is nothing I am proud of, but should work.

Re: [Server-devel] Testing EduBlog
Yes! It works now with the right link! (I had used the link of EduBlog_Instructions). I could post well from th XO this way. 2 comments: - The cursor does not appear in the text area when writing the body. - It's not possible to handle the size of the image... However, this could wait for version 2 ;-) Now, let's talk about the user management. With my new user pflores I could login, then it asked me if I am sure to enroll to the course, y clicked Yes and it appears a banner: Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (Manage activities). I posted a screenshot of this in my new blog (blog creado desde XOhttp://edublog.venango.org/test/EduBlog/moodle/mod/oublog/view.php?id=15). When I hit Continue it takes me back to the home page. The other question is: How will children create their own account if it needs an administrator approval? It might become a bit impractical... Maybe it's better not needing the approval, and if there is some trouble, the admin can delete unwanted users, what you think? Now I'm gonna create a blog and give a teacher the instructions to work it in the class...

Please let me know if it works. About, the lang settings, when you go to any of the pages it should be spanish (assuming your xo is using the spanish localization). If that does not work, then I will force the setting to spanish and not try to detect the localization. About multiple users, I was thinking that in a real school each teachers and students have their own account. Then, they can do concurrent things without issues. My concern is that for the test it looks like we are going to use the same user account for everyone which can cause problems. If we can create separate user accounts for all the teachers and students testing, that would be ideal. Thanks for taking the time to test this stuff out. Tarun Hi Tarun! Thanks for the great work you are doing! See comments below.

Please let me know if I got the attempted fixes right. I'll try to take some time this afternoon to test the system. What I found with the previous version is that BrowseNew didn't change its homepage. I talked with Greg that it would be very simplifying for teachers and children to make BrowseNew go straight to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/EduBlog, a page I will get some time to finish with the instructions to start to work. Would it be possible to change this? I'm also thinking about how to configure the language. Currently, it detects if the Browser is es or en and bases its setting on that. We could
