I should probably keep out of this problem, as I have not been active in
the Xerte community since the transition to html 5. However I noticed in
your example the following
"<I>This is an example of the Hotspot Image Sound Page Wizard. This Page
Wizard is not available in the Page Templates project wide template as of
October 2010.</I+> This is an enhancement of the Hotspot Image Page Wizard,
which is included in Page Templates."
This is text from a sample project I created to demonstrate the
pageWizards. So I am guessing that you are basing your development on code
I created for the pageWizard.
pageWizards were an early approach to achieving individual page templates
that I piloted in Xerte. They were superceded by later developments in
desktop Xerte. Desktop Xerte is flash based and as such is no longer under
development. All development work is now on the html5 based Xerte online
toolkits.
So can you please clarify if you are trying to do your developement in
toolkits or desktop Xerte.
If you are using desktop Xerte then it should be possible to develop an xwd
file that delivers what you want that will work in Xerte by comparing
the _hotspotImageSound.xwd file (from the PageWizardDemo project which you
can find in PageWizardDemo / pages / hotSpotImageSound folder)
with
the hotspotImage.xwd file ( which can be found in the pages / wizards /
en-gb / folder of your desktop Xerte install).
Create a new xwd file, keeping the structure of the hotspotImage.xwd file
as this will be consistent with what Xerte requires but simply add any
additional elements from the _hotspotImageSound file. change occurences in
your new file of "hotspotImage" to "hotspotImageSound".
That should give you a working starting point for an xwd file that will
generate xml content.
You will also need a model file (.rlm) file in the pages/models folder for
your new page type. Make a copy of the hotspotImage model and rename it to
match your new page type e.g. "hotspotImageSound.rlm" and remember to edit
it by replacing all occurences of "hotspotImage" with "hotspotImageSound"
so that the model file references the date from your hotspotImageSound.xml
file that will be created by the xwd file.
Then you might want to compare your hotspotImageSound.rlm file with the one
used in my original page wizard project _hotspotImageSound.rlm to assist
you with adding the functionality.
If however you are developing for Xerte online toolkits a comparison of the
xwd files I mentioned should still help but I can't help out on the html5
side of things.
Hope this helps.
If the above makes no sense to you, then just ignore this post as the
ravings of someone with fond memories for a desktop based project that is
now retired :-)
Kind regards
Johnathan
