Hi Agnieszka,
I changed that RosettaStone fill-in-the-gaps activity to use the correct height for the captions component, so please download the new one from the gallery (if it keeps showing you the old one, try emptying the web browser cache or download from other computer or web browser to get the new version).

also I made the text component readonly there so that the link you have works

however, I'd expect the Clip component to show a video, not just point to the video in the text component

Hi all,
I did some extra enhancement to ClipFlair Studio launch URLs, allowing to skip the .clipflair.zip extension for activities when referencing a URL from the ClipFlair activity gallery (only then the .clipflair.zip can be implied, other servers may not show extensions in URLs, so taking any URLs referencing other servers as load sources literally)

e.g. now one can write
http://studio.clipflair.net?activity=Rosa

or
http://studio.clipflair.net?activity=http://gallery.clipflair.net/activity/Rosa

these are equivalent to the same URL with the .clipflair.zip suffix that you have seen before mentioned

Hi George!
Thanks for repairing the activity!
About the clips not working, this is the issue I reported before when I wrote that some of the clips, including Rosetta Stone, do not open. As far as I can remember you said they do open on yours. Please have a look at the URL from DB - the URL itself opens, but not in the CF Studio. It's like this with more clips, though not all. Any hints?
Thanks,
Agnieszka

According to Roula, you have to share a link from items in your public dropbox folder for it to work, not links from other Dropbox folders.

However, activities that are in the ClipFlair gallery should try to ONLY use videos that are in the ClipFlair gallery to avoid getting them broken if video URLs from dropbox or elsewhere disappear.

So why not submit that video (if haven't already) for inclusion in the ClipFlair gallery? (assuming we're ok with copyright or it's a 3-min small clip)?
