Hi Christian,

The redirects have been setup and are functioning as expected.

Hi, Bryon,
I managed to get both of my quizzes onto AG pages (those whose links I’ve sent you).
I wanted to find out if there has been any headway on those redirects.
Please let me know when you get a chance.
Yours,
Christian

Hi, Bryon,
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your looking into this for me. I’ll try this and let you know if I have any issues.

On this, it looks like we’re going to need a couple more URL redirects (as we are referring to these online quizzes in a printed letter). I’m sorry to ask on this short notice, but apparently we need them by Tuesday.
Here are the pages:
College Resume Quiz: https://admissions.creighton.edu/ProspectiveStudents/CollegeResumeQuiz/tabid/1324/Default.aspx
College Search Technology Quiz: https://admissions.creighton.edu/ProspectiveStudents/CollegeSearchTechnologyQuiz/tabid/1325/Default.aspx

Can we get the following redirects for these:
admissions.creighton.edu/resume-quiz
admissions.creighton.edu/technology-quiz

Yours,
Christian

Subject: RE: Putting HTML/Flash files on AG

Hi Christian,

Here's what I'm referring to.

When calling the .JS file (renamed as a .txt for upload purposes) you will need to reference the location you uploaded it to. Just as if you were calling an image or anything else uploaded into AG.

Here's what I had to use to directly reference the AC_RunActiveContent.TXT file:
<script src="/Portals/0/bpktest/AC_RunActiveContent.TXT" ...

You just want to make sure the HTML knows exactly where to go (in the file structure) to find that file. In this case, I uploaded the AC_RunActiveContent.TXT file to the folder "bpktest", so I had to tell the HTML that's where the file exists.

The same is true when you are embedding the flash into the HTML. (in the AC_FL_RunContent function) You will need to make sure the 'src' and 'movie' files are directly referenced:
'src', '/Portals/0/bpktest/cu_college_technology_quiz'
'movie', '/Portals/0/bpktest/cu_college_technology_quiz'

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Hi, Bryon,
I think I understand most of this.

The one part I’m confused about is the direct reference to the swf and .txt files in the HTML. I’m not sure that I would know how to refer to these.  I’ve looked at the html , but would you mind sending me the modified html so that I can compare it?

Yours,
Christian

Hi Christian / Darren,

I did some testing on this and was able to get the flash quiz to work as expected in a text/html module.

A few things to note:
    - You will need to upload the swf file to the site using the File Manager tool in AdmissionsGenie.
    - I simply copied the HTML content into the "source" in the text/html module and made a few modifications.
    - The File Manager tool does not accept .js files. In order to make this work, I had to save the .js file as a .txt file and upload it that way.
    - You will need to make direct references to the swf and .txt files in the HTML file so the module is able to locate them.

Other than the items noted above, this was relatively easy to complete.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this at all!

Thank you,

Hi,
If it’s all right, I’m sending you the attached as a test file, as I’m yet done with either of the quizzes yet.
Yours,

Darren - Christian,

I'm thinking that would probably work best as you explained, in a Text/Html module.

It would be nice to test.

Christian, let us know if you can send the files in a ZIP. This way we can test and get back to you.

Christian-

When we discussed this previously, I thought we had determined that an import of content into the Text/HTML module would do the trick.  In order to fully answer your question, it is probably best if you send us the files in questions as a .zip file or similar archive, so we can answer the question and then share with you the actions to take in the future.

Does that work?

Bryon, anything to add?

Darren

Importance: High

Hi, Bryon,
We’ve got a couple flash-based quizzes that I’m creating for our search. When I export, it creates three files: an HTML, a .js file and a swf.

Several months ago, I had been in touch with Darren about trying to get one of these quizzes hosted on AG. We ended up doing it here on campus. But right now our campus web team is extremely understaffed, so I’m wondering if/how we might be able to get these on AG. Could you help me do that?

Does this even make any sense?

We’re hoping to send e-mails on Tuesday with links to the quizzes.

Yours,
Christian
