[Xerte-dev] Re: Update on Connector pages

[Kemp Johnathan]

Whilst the translation page has been dropped, does it still need to be
included in the XOT release if only to prevent existing projects that
contain it from breaking?

I have been checking over earlier discussions.

My understanding is that the eventual aim is to get all the xerte model and
xwd files in the runtime/pages/ section of the svn.

I used winmerge to compare the files in the runtime and pagewizards section
and the few updates had all taken place in the pageWizards section, which
is why I updated the pageWizards section. I think that it would make sense
soon to get the runtime / pages section set up as THE location for the next
release of Xerte.

Shall I update the runtime pages section accordingly or would you prefer to
do that Tom?

I vaguely recall you asking about having a flag in the xwd files to
identify those which only belong to Xerte and not XOT (the indexChanger
page, pages.xwd). There is also the issue of what to do with the files that
belong in XOT but not Xerte e.g. the XerteModel page).

I can add an additional hidden parameter to the xwd of these pages

restrict="d" // desktop
restrict="t" // toolkits

if that would meet your requirements.

Kind regards

Johnathan
