this, I set a property called runtime and used it to point the preview to preview_bootstrap.php. I can’t remember if anyone is actually using .runtime to use a different playout or not (I have vague memories of GEM doing this for their PBL stuff?). I could
have just posted the data to a page, but then you lose all the security stuff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

xml and drive the content. Once this penny drops I can see other people wanting to build their own templates and add them in, so it would be worth smoothing out some time. I can do that probably, but I’m not so sure what needs to be in place to make the properties
panel more flexible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.0in"><span lang="EN-GB">With the html5 playout, Fay has added play_html5.php that does the work, that’s all fine. I’ve got a new template I’d like to build in that produces this stuff:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

parse the xml and create the content.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.0in"><span lang="EN-GB">So I could add another html page to the folder and repeat what Fay has done for html5, but that seems a bit messy to sustain if, one day, we have loads of runtimes doing different things, I wondered
if your modular stuff handled this in a more graceful way?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:2.0in"><span lang="EN-GB">There’s another difference here: Fay’s html5 code plays existing content – so you have two alternative urls for the same piece, ultimately we’ll switch toolkits to use the html5 one as the default,
and the old one will remain as a legacy. In my case, it doesn’t work like that, these projects will always only use their html page: so that needs to be the url to display in properties for the project, and I guess that’s what needs to export as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
