Adapt Learning Community: Back (Previous) Button not working

Hi All:

First off, wonderful tool you folks are building and I hope to be able to contribute to its development in some small way--eventually.

In the meantime, I'm still trying to figure it out.

I installed the authoring tool and it seems completely functional except that

1. I don't see the Theme editor menu item that appears in your videos.

2. The Back (Previous) button doesn't work in my courses, either in preview mode or the published final versions.

In case it matters, I installed every available plug-in.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Tony,

Did you also pointed to the Menu- extension from your course?

As for the Theme editor, I think it is a LearningPool item, that is not in the "public" source.

Hi John,

I had the same issue as "Tony", The previous button is not working neither in preview nor in published version.

I am using Authoring tool and I installed all the plugins, I mean everything seems fine except that.

I couldn't get you on what do you mean on "Menu-extension". Could you please give any further explanation on that.

What version of the framework are you using within the AT?

It's certainly working fine for me if I download the latest version of the framework using the Adapt CLI and build from that.

One possible source of the problem was that we recently had to change lots of clickable items in the framework and core plugins from <a> to <button> to make VoiceOver for iOS work properly - including the back button in the navigation. If you have anything that's still set to look for the <a> version of the back button, it's not going to be able to find it. Conversely, if your theme still has the back button has <a> in the template, the latest framework code is going to be unable to target it.

Tony/Teja,

If the previous button isn't working, please upgrade your framework by running "node upgrade.js". There was a bug in v2.0.1 of the framework but it's since been resolved.

Regards,

Brian

Hi Guyz thanks for the quick reply, Brain that solved my issue. I Updated my framework to version 2.0.6 that solved the problem. Thank you..

Hi,

I have today installed the Adapt Authoring tool (Vagrant method) as per this post

The back button does not work in preview or in live once published. I see mention of updating framework but I have just downloaded the latest Authoring 0.1.4 so a little confused.

Everything else seems to work fine. Is the previously mentioned bug still prevalent in the Authoring tool?

What do I need to do now?

Thanks

Hi Lee,

It's not a bug in the authoring tool, it was a bug in the framework. As outlined in previous answer, just run "node upgrade.js" to get the latest framework and the fix.

The authoring tool won't automatically upgrade to the latest framework, but it will notify the user if a later version is available.

I tried to update and the process failed. Now the authoring tool isn't working because it can't find Mongoose. I'll try doing a reinstall of the authoring tool but I won't have time to do that for awhile.

In the meantime I wanted to thank all the people that took the time to respond to this thread; I'm sure your suggestions will fix the problem.

This is very cool tool and I look forward to working with it!

Hi Brian,

Thanks, yes I saw that in the thread but it came back with 'command not found'. I am running this on Virtual box via the Vagrant install method. I tried the 'node upgrade.js' in the terminal window on my mac (in the directory where Adapt is installed) - is there somewhere else I should be trying it?

thanks

Lee

Fixed it!

Even though I went down the Vagrant install route I had skipped the installation of some of the pre-requisites

Back button now working.

Cheers
