Instructions to upgrade Melete 2.7.2 to 2.8.2 for Sakai 2.7.1

1. Get the Source
2. Configure Melete
3. Sferyx Editor
4. Internationalize Messages (Optional)
5. Compile and Deploy
6. Database Changes

1. Get the Source

Download the etudes-util (dependency of Melete) and Melete software from SVN into your Sakai 2.7.1 source folder

sakai> svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/etudes/etudes-util/tags/1.0.8/ etudes-util

sakai> svn co https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/etudes/melete/tags/2.8.2/ melete
 

2. Configure Melete

We no longer need upload Directory and its setting. You can safely delete it.

2.1 Replace topnavbar.jsp

In the Melete source code, replace top mode bar file "melete-app/src/webapp/melete/topnavbar.jsp" with the contents of "topnavbar-sakai26.jsp" file. This is to remove icons from top mode bar.

2.2 Print Material Default Setting (Optional)

By setting this Sakai property, system administrators can set the default preference for Melete Print. Instructors can change this setting for their site in Melete Preferences.

melete.print=true

This is an optional setting. If not set, then Melete assumes default as "true".

3. Sferyx Editor

If you are using Sferyx with Melete then you have to upgrade Sferyx Applet. Melete 2.8.2 needs Sferyx 10.2 or higher version. Sferyx has introduced posting contents in AJAX style and Melete is using it.
 

4. Internationalize Messages (Optional)

If you want to run Melete in a different language than English, you need to update messages.properties of your language under melete-app/src/bundle and under melete-impl/src/bundle.

5. Compile and Deploy

Please follow step 5 of Install Guide to compile and deploy Melete.

6. Database Changes

Few tables are modified. Run upgrade script manually.

Mysql Users: /components/src/sql/mysql/melete_272-282_upgrade.sql

Oracle Users: /components/src/sql/oracle/melete_272-282_upgrade.sql

Start tomcat, make sure there are no errors in the logs.
