[Xerte] Xerte Template Wizard - Adding a Menu Item

[Paul Beckwith]

Thanks Jules, got it working now.

 

I'm just trying to get my head around where stuff is coming from. For
example, where do the icons next to the menu items get loaded? I know how to
set them in the .xwd (icon="icButtonBar" etc) but where abouts is that read
from?

 

Cheers,

Add a debug script to it and see if it is getting loaded properly - do you
get 1 / 1 in the controls? Can you fnd out otherwise if it is loading?

 

Check out the code in the makePages icon (or something) in the entry frame
and see what that does. I can't remember exactly.

 

If I were adding a new model I would do these things:

 

Add the xml to newNodes of LO in the .xwd file

Add the section for the wizard lower down in the .xwd file

 

That's enough to get the xml added and edited to your .xml file - is this
happening? Is the XML valid?

 

Then create the model. If you look at the other models, you'll see they all
have a small section of common code in the first script: that gets the
templateData for that particular page so you can use it conveniently in your
model code, and some other stuff: see what it does.

 

Any help?

Yeah.

 

It still doesn't work, I renamed my model to sequence.rlm

 

Anything specific that I need to put in the model?

The model will need the same name as the xml tag:

 

<MyModel./>

 

myModel.rlm

 

I take it you are extending Page Templates?

Thanks Jules, it pops up In the menu now.

 

it doesn't actually do anything and just says [type,function]. How do I link
it up to the model that I'm making?

Add the initial xml you want inserted to the newNodes element of the LO tag

Hi everyone, 

 

I am trying to build my own interaction for the Xerte template wizard...
currently I'm a bit stuck on actually adding the item to the insert menu.
I've added the following into the XML:

 

  <fls_sequence menu="Navigators" menuItem="FLS1" icon="icSequence" hint="An
image pops up followed by text to explain it." sortChildren="true">

  <name type="TextInput" label="Text" />

  <text type="TextArea" height="250" label="Text" />

  </fls_sequence>

 

What else do I need to do?

 

Cheers, 

 

Paul
