Subject: Chapter Numbers - Nav Tree Numbers - MismatchQuote this post in your reply
Overview -

Step 1: I created three main sections to my course

1 - Welcome
1.1 - About Me
2 - Apples
2.1 - Golden Delicious
2.2 - Granny Smith
3 - Oranges
3.1 - Valencia
3.2 - Tangerines

Step 2: I deleted section 2 - Apples

Results -

In the navigation tree to the side, the numbering looks like this:

1 - Welcome
1.1 - About Me
2 - Oranges
2.1 - Valencia
2.2 - Tangerines

However, when I click on "2 - Oranges" the content for Oranges is still numbered as:

3 - Oranges
3.1 - Valencia
3.2 - Tangerines

Result -

The chapter numbering when reading the chapters does not actually match the numbering on the navigation tree.

How can I fix this?

I have the system installed on a Linux server and am using version 1.4.1. You can see my site at www.eDiscovery.org.

Thanks,

Mark

We know about this bug, but have not been able to reproduce it ourselves. Even with your detailed description, I could not reproduce the problem on the demo site. I have to reset the numbering in the Play Here Course every few days as people play with the content there, so I know its happening. Keep an eye open to see if you can identify when it happens again.

It is possible to reset the numbering by manually adjusting the "ordering" value in the database, for the top level pages in your course. A fix utility is near the top of the todo list. It will reset the numbering when it breaks. We're still hoping someone will discover how to reproduce the problem consistently so we can fix it once and for all.

Actually the ATutor HowTo 1.4.2 has that kind of problem too.

in the menu :
1. Getting started
1.1 Register
...
result when reading :
3. Getting started
3.1 Register
...

In the sequential navigation of GettingStarted:
Previous 2.11 Site Map | Next: 1.1 Register

A click on Next displays page 3.1 Register
A click on Previous displays page 4.11 SiteMap

Good luck...

I can tell you that only recently have I started using the options around rearranging the sections/subsections ordering.

Aside from that, I am not sure how to give you any more elaborate feedback.

Good luck programmers. If I run across anything recreatable, I will definitely let you know.

a script to fix the ordering of the content is available: atutorsvn.rcat.utoronto.ca/repos/atutor/trunk/docs/admin/fix_content.php

it does not ensure that the ordering doesn't break again, but that script will let you fix it each time.

This issue will hopefully be fixed in an upcoming version of ATutor later this year.

Thank you!

where do I install this script? Can I simply copy it to my server and call it directly via www.mysite.com/atutor/fix_content.php?

the file will have to be placed in ./admin/ b/c of the path defined to the include dir.

then login as admin and point your browser to that file.
