Hi Sian,

 

Sorry to hear about your webdav problems with SP5 of 8.0. We have had the same problems as we are on that verison too. Have you had any resolution to them? We applied the patch that’s supposed to fix it – which seemed to work at first – but subsequently we are having lots of problems with it. It’s all to do with whether you have persistent cookies enabled or disabled.

 

Anyone who uses the Content System and is thinking of upgrading to 8.0.3 or 8.0.4 should be aware of this.

 

I was starting to think we were the only ones suffering this problem. Any solutions, fixes, workarounds gratefully accepted…

 

Gerard.

 

Paul

What version of BB8 are you on? We have had problems using webdav in the Content System since we upgraded to Service Pack 5 on Bb8 and we are still on Windows XP.

Hi Terry
 
Our IT team bravely rolled out windows 7 on our student machines over the summer and so far the only problem we’ve experienced is trying to use webdav to access the CMS (we’re on Bb8).

Subject: Windows 7 & BB Release 8: compatibility issues?
 
Hi: we’re probably moving to Windows 7 at some point soon (not my idea!).
Has anyone discovered any compatibility issues with BB Academic Suite Release 8 (or 9 – though we’re not on this yet!)
 
Best wishes
 
Terry
