Unexplained chime/bell ringing
October 16, 2016 12:00 AM
Hello
I must have done something to my Lectora file because when I click (in edit mode) on a page (not in a textbox or whatever), it chimes/rings a bell (not sure how to describe it). I am at a loss to explain this other than hallucination... Anyone have a clue how this happened and how I can get rid of it?
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Actually i had this too a while ago. In the end it was my wife's mobile that beeped when it was almost empty, and me thinking it came from my computer ;-)
Do check your wife's mobile ;-)

5 in Thai = "ha" So 555 = ha ha ha
Thanks Math :)
I don't think that Lectora changes it to screen%20test01.mp3. This will show up like this on the web of course but the file name will still contain actual space. It will convert to lowercase though.
The mystery chiming question comes up on the forums regularly. I also had it once. Well done for figuring it out yourself :)
Hello again,
Problem solved.
For what it's worth, here is the solution to the chiming/bell/clanging/beeping (actually not a real beep) etc... :)
No... it was not Math's wife's phone, nor my wife's...
This happens when the name you give to a page/section or whatever (in the left-hand pane) contains (presumably) unauthorized characters (such as punctuation e.g. a dash is not ok but an underscore is ok).
cheers
The title still runs but when you are editing it then the annoying noise occurs.
Hmmm... maybe I should immerse myself in a reading of the manual. I wonder if it is in there.

Another thing i noticed today about naming conventions in combo with Lectora. In my company we use Mac a lot, so the Macfiosi arenot that precise with names and texts of files as their Windows nephews. So when using external video files or audio files that are named Screen test01.mp3 <-- note the capital and the space my Macfiosi friends left in the file name... Lectora changes that on publishing to screen%20test01.mp3 so if you try to load that file dynamically you'r in 404 trouble. Offcourse changing the original mp3 to screen_test01.mp3 fixes the issue...
Time to educate our Macfiosi friends... ;-)
If the Macfiosi had truly been brought up on Unix they would never have had spaces... My 2c worth from someone whose first computer was an AppleII with an expansion card (64K) and a Pascal compiler... (yes the luxury model).
Sergey is correct it doesnot change a space to %20... Lectora makes a underscore of it.
Screen 01.mp3 -> screen_01.mp3
And offcourse i got a 404
