Anyway to edit published course "resources tab"

Jun 11, 2018

We lost the source of a published course.  The links in the resource tab are bad.  I did find an xml file containing the info, but carefully editing the right links did not change the published course.  Is there a way to do this?

For example I have a link to hotmail.

For the Flash output, you need to edit the file: story_content/frame.xml
Near the end of the file there is a line of code.

<resource url="http://www.hotmail.com/" image="story_content/url.png" title="Webmail link" />

I changed it to yahoo.

 

For  HTML5 output, you need to edit: html5/data/js/frame.js
Also at the end of the file, I changed this code.

resources":[{"kind":"resource","url":"http://www.hotmail.com/","image":"story_content/url.png","title":"Webmail link"}]

I did find a hack for this wacky js format (probably SL2).  I could remove the bad links, but updating them would have been a nightmare.  Found a section near the bottom that included code <P E=... /P> that correlated directly to lines in the Resources tab.  This is a massive bit of hackery, so I suggest backing up frame.js before attempting.
