  Renamed the files and got all the styling to where I can live with it. Uploaded to Classcaster, activated it site wide. Now everyone on Classcaster can use the [lessonview] short code to add Lessons to Classcaster blogs. See a sample at http://cca.li/lJ

  Using Phonegap means programming in Javascript for real. Nothing happens unles JS says so. For example buttob display requires setting an id and then showing the id. It isn’t just about HTML.

  Need to find a plugin for WordPress that will unpublish a post on a schedule. Like the publish at a certain time feature in reverse.

  Fix the Lesson View plugin to work for AutoPublish.

  Change language on the Lesson detail page to make the Windows/Mac link about downloading and modifying.

  This screenshot shows the use of the lessonview shortcode, it just requires the nid of the Lesson.

  

  This screenshot shows the result of using the lessonview shortcode to get Lesson info from the CALI API.

  So, there was an issue. As near as I can tell, one of the files that is part of the ctools module failed to copy properly to the production server. This error was propagated to the other web nodes and the entire site went offline due to a PHP error caused by the corrupt file. It took me about 20 minutes to locate the cause and replace the entire module. All is well again.
