KAE customizing

I've got KAE (Advanced Editor) mostly working in Drupal (followed these directions: http://www.kaltura.org/configuring-advanced-editor)

I have a few outstanding questions though:

  1. How do I use the latest version of KAE? RIght now I am using 1.0.10.x and I want to use 1.0.15.x (or the latest) Should I change KalturaSettings_SE_UICONF_ID to something other than 47400? How do I determine this # myself?
  2. The "Remix" button on my player creates a modal box that's a bix too small for KAE (looks like it was sized for the simple editor), yet no height setting I change anywhere in the Drupal module fixes this.

Overall though, this editor is great. Still having some problems recording audio (recorded audio is in permanent state of "processing"), but other than that this offers some very cool functionality.

Thanks!

Hi Chris, the latest version is - version 1.0.15.26975 (http://www.kaltura.com/kae/ui_conf_id/1000865).
You should replace the url you're using with this one and it will load the new version.

Ok, I finally figured out how to get the modal box to fit the whole KAE interface. In kaltura.themeing.inc, you need to change the height parameter for the simple editor to something around 690px.

<script type="text/javascript">
function onPlayerAddClick (kshowId,entryId,pd_extraData) {
  if (kshowId && kshowId != -1)
        kalturaInitModalBox("'. url("kaltura/contribution_wizard/") .'" + kshowId);
  if (entryId && entryId != -1 && "true" == "'. (($embed_options['roughcut'])? 'true': '') .'")
        kalturaInitModalBox("'. url("kaltura/contribution_wizard/") . (($embed_options['roughcut'])? 'entry-': '') .'" + entryId );
}

function onPlayerEditClick (kshowId,entryId,pd_extraData) {
/* not relevant anymore - kshow deprecated. remix button is visible only with mix node
  if (kshowId && kshowId != -1 && "true" == "'. (($embed_options['kshow'])? 'true': '') .'")
        kalturaInitModalBox("'. url("kaltura/simple_editor/") .'" + kshowId + "/kshow/user_id@'. $user->uid .'", { width: 890, height: 690 } );
        */

//          if (entryId && entryId != -1 && "true" == "'. (($embed_options['roughcut'])? 'true': '') .'")
  if (entryId && entryId != -1)
        kalturaInitModalBox("'. url("kaltura/simple_editor/") .'" + entryId + "/entry/user_id@'. $user->uid .'", { width: 890, height: 690 } );
}

function handleGotoContribWizard (kshowId, pd_extraData) {
  kalturaInitModalBox("'. url("kaltura/contribution_wizard/") .'" + kshowId);
}

function handleGotoEditorWindow (kshowId, pd_extraData) {
  kalturaInitModalBox("'. url("kaltura/simple_editor/") .'" + kshowId, { width: 890, height: 690 } );
}
</script>';

uiconf id 1000865 has started returning the 1.0.10 version of KAE, instead of 1.0.15. What ui conf id should I be using for the latest KAE now? And why did this change back?
