Development request: Ability to pre-populate XML
In the workshop at NECC 2007, I wanted to seed the script with a sentence or so to get people started. I didn’t have enough time to write a nifty SQL command to automate it, so I did it via brute force and ignorance: after creating accounts, I went through and hand-added the script stub and saved it as Version 1.
Since I imagine that this might be a pedagogically useful option (e.g., seeding My Folder with images, or linking in a specific audio file for the narration or music), how can we automate it?
I’m imagining something off of the Manage Activities page, and it could be as simple as textboxes that expose more of the XML. Right now, from the page, you can fill in the start-up instructions; why not also Version 1? Version 2? Audio clips? Resources?
