Brilliant idea :) thanks you!

That is giving me a partial success - I'm now able to load the LOs and go through them.
The only thing that doesnt seem to load are the (FontAwesome?) icons

As you say I don't think Canvas will be alone in this...

Actually the Font Awesome stuff is an extra STYLES configuration that I put in.. (see attached)
And the template I used for the previous example is a custom one that I created.
If I just use the normal default template the navigation icons are fine

Hi
just out of curiosity could you also check the following:
I assume by default template you mean the one named Xerte Online Toolkits in the editor which has images as the navigaton buttons in the footer. What happens if you change to one of the included themes that uses FA icons in the footer such as RGBO? Do the FA icons still work then when used via Canvas?
Thanks
Ron

Ah yes - I hadn't realised that the Xerte Online Toolkits template used actual images rather than FA icons.

If I switch to RGBO then they are blocked by Canvas
