We've had this happening over the past week on random computers with people who connect via our RM Smartcache. Move them to a different proxy and the videos play perfectly. Play via Smartcache proxy and the video either jumps to the end or plays with no sound! We've logged a call with RM to try and investigate any potential issues on their side.

Frog and I Am Learning widget - IE8 - only works for admins

Did anybody ever find a solution for this long term? -
Extracting parent passwords from Frog
john316 replied to woolmer's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
I think the password exporting is disabled by Frog due to security purposes so you're better off generating random passwords using some Excel generator and then importing them into Frog. That gives you the list then of your passwords. To find the Year 7 parents, head to the Toolkit, click on Tools and choose Parent/Child report. It'll shove a fair amount of info at you but you'll be able to filter down to what you want it to show. -
Its nowhere near mod-able enough to engage middle of the road teachers and pupils though. Too much techie terminology in it IMO like a lot of the open source alternatives out there in software land.

Ours miserably fails for any users using Chrome/Safari due to the pop-up blocking in both browsers. Kerboodle widget is also affected but the Google ones work fine! -
Using jQuery image slider in a FROG page?
john316 replied to john316's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
I ended up just having to use it within an iframe - I got it really close to working but the page curler seemed to almost clash with it some way. Just sticking it within an iFrame on the FrogWeb share and getting the spacings right gives the illusion of it being properly embedded. -
If you click to highlight a folder then under 'Actions' should be two choices - export as .FRG files or export as ZIP folder.
-
You should have the option to use 'Export as ZIP folder' from within FROG? That will give you it as the ZIP file rather than as an FRG.

I've been trying to get the Nivo Slider (Nivo Slider - The World's Most Popular jQuery & WordPress Image Slider) working on a new FROG page but just cannot get it working at all. I can get the slider showing okay in the page but the Page Curl seems to be broken by the code used in the slider and it just sits in the bottom left of the preview. The previewed slider seems to use a fair amount of CPU so I'm thinking some of the code is causing an issue somewhere! Has anybody got one working with the Page Curl still intact on a FROG page? Did you have to add in anything special to make it work? I have seen it the slider on another's school page but they had somehow hidden the page curl so I'm wondering if its somehow just getting rid of that is the solution? Thanks in advance!

Frog upload Internet Explorer 9 Problem!!???
john316 replied to a topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
Three years sounds unlikely - the indications seem to indicate we'll see many elements of Frog 4 in the next 6-12 months although hopefully the Conference will announce more details! -
Hi We're just investigating if its possible to revoke MAK activations for Office 2010 at all? Can't spot any obvious way of disabling certain KMS activations in case of situations such as people leaving or reinstalls. We use KMS for our domain machines but we have some mini-laptops which we're looking to use MAK keys for as they aren't on the domain and have trouble with KMS activations. Any ideas? Thanks John Morris

Frog Based Website - Unable to hyperlink
john316 replied to riffleman's topic in Virtual Learning Platforms
When I go to the 'Insert Link', 'Internet Page' and I delete the http:// and just type Google then I will see a similar sort of broken link. If I leave the pre-filled in http:// and then just add Google after it then the link is absolutely fine. -
We use the FROG email as a separate sand boxed email system for staff and students - the staff still have their regular separate Exchange accounts but use the FROG email to contact pupils. Our pupils don't have 'proper' email accounts so the FROG email system works great for them.
