[Xerte-dev] Re: the 1.8 trunk merge

Hello Ron,

I also want to ensure that all the connector pages are available at the
release.

At present I have 6 working connector pages,

Scenario, Tabbed Navigator, Multiple Choice Question, Plain Text, Hotspot
Image and a redirector page.

I am in the process of enhancing the Hotspot Image Connector and have added
many of the features you requested. I hit a snag late today when I
discovered that the hotspots were showing through the movie, depending on
the order in which the hotspots were entered, so I am now in the process of
reworking that part of the page. Currently I have been able to add sound,
relative navigation (first next etc.), opening  a new window for accessing
other learning objects, web pages etc. and  I have also a kind of pop up
where clicking on a hotspot results in a panel and scrollable text message
appearing with a close button.

All the Connector pages include a development mode feature that will send
the code for a html page to the clipboard. The page displays a table
containing the page No, page name, page ID, page mode (i.e. developer or
live) so that will help people when planning and checking over their
projects.

Kind regards

Johnathan
