New Content Item Type: Web Content Upload
The .NExT release provides the Web Content Upload content item type to both unmanaged and Content Managed courses alike. Previously it was only available in Content Manager courses. This type of content item is ideal for content authors who want to create more sophisticated HTML-based content outside of the eCollege platform in their favorite development tools. The content author can then combine any number of linked HTML pages and image files, .js files or other file types that are called from within the HTML content into a single zip file. Code that must be executed by a server process such as ASP, ASPX, JSP, PHP, etc is not permitted in the Web Content Upload archive.
Once a new content item is created and specified as type Web Content Upload, the user is prompted from the author view of that content item to browse to the zip file containing the HTML content. Next, the author is provided with a dropdown list containing every file within the uploaded zip and asked to specify which file should display first within the content item frame.
Providing that all of the links between files are relative links (not full http addresses) all links between files uploaded in the zip will function correctly.
