Are offline forms and grid theme possible?

[KGK KGK]

I have managed to install a local kobotoolbox machine using the vagrant vm. However when testing I cannot get the offline forms mode to work? 

http://support.kobotoolbox.org/customer/portal/articles/1653790-collecting-data-through-web-forms

Does this function need additional configuration steps? The form loads up but the empty "signal bars" and a check mark never show up.

Also is there any way to get this enketo grid theme running inside kobotoolbox?

Ok I managed to get the grid theme working in kobotoolbox by building the vagrant vm using the master branch instead of the stable branch referenced on the kobotoolbox site 

https://github.com/kobotoolbox/dist-kobo-devel.git

Now is there any way to get the offline forms function working also?

Hi KGK KGK,

Offline capability was just added to Enketo Express (one of the 3 apps inside the KoBo VM). You could try updating enketo-express to the latest master, but I suspect it requires some fixes because of the new method of configuring Enketo (introduced yesterday).

If you'd like to bypass the configuration work, you could try updating to Enketo Express 1.7.0 (the latest release).

In any case, once the KoBo VM is updated by KoBo or by you, you can enable offline functionality with this setting: https://github.com/kobotoolbox/enketo-express/blob/master/config/default-config.json#L4

Info on configuring Enketo Express is here: https://github.com/kobotoolbox/enketo-express#how-to-configure

Cheers,
Martijn

Martijn,

Thanks. I upgraded now left with some Frankenstein build combination of all 3 projects. Offline forms are functioning but I need to change the URL manually to include the /_/# string. Is there any central location I could edit this so that the manual URL change is not required when launching forms?

That could be a bug unless the enketo API url was set to /api/v2 instead of /api/v1. For the current KC and Enketo Express build you'd want to use /api/v1 (this is somewhere in the KC settings). This is the only breaking change between api/v1 and api/v2 in Enketo (for good reasons).

Thanks for trying this out!

Not sure if this is the relevant setting but it looks like its set to v1

/home/vagrant/src/kobocat/onadata/settings/common.py

# Enketo URL

ENKETO_API_URL_PARTIAL= os.environ.get('ENKETO_API_URL_PARTIAL', '/api_v1')

Thanks

I think it might be this one that sets it: https://github.com/kobotoolbox/dist-kobo-devel/blob/master/scripts/01_environment_vars.sh#L101.
