[Xerte] Internal hyperlinks in Xerte Online Toolkit

[RonM]

If you're using page wizards rather than the Nottingham page template I'm
not sure this will work.

 

If you're just using the Nottingham page template first of all I would try
adding the following to one of your accordion pages (in the text field of
the form), changing yourpagetitle to one of your page titles (case
sensitive) and see if it works. 

 

<a href="asfunction:_level0.engine.navToPage,yourpagetitle">Click here or
some other wording</a>

 

If you are just using the Nottingham page template and that doesn't work try
backing up your existing .rlo or .rlt and using the previously attached .rlt
instead. (It looks for template.xml so if yours is using data.xml you'll
need to change that)

 

The function in the .rlt that makes the above code work is as follows and
begins on line 72:

 

<SCR isFunc="1" name="navToPage"><![CDATA[for (i = 0; i <
extXML.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++)

{

  if (extXML.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.name == args[0])

  {

    rootIcon.gotoPage(i);

  }

}]]></SCR>

Fantastic , the example is exactly what I was after.  As I am trying to
stick to the page wizards and add script (very newbie stuff) only when
needed i am not sure how to incorporate the rlt template files into my XERTE
rlo.  have looked athe help files and the wiki but XERTE seems to be after
an xwd file

To answer the question why.   Its really about non linear navigation.  I
have main menu with "lots of buttons" located over a graphic as a
replacement for an old HTML menu
Its too crowded so I now need sub menu pages etc and the whole thing is just
too complex.

 An accordion is a nice way around that access everything from the one page
etc.. and can have text  graphic explanation etc.   Originally I was going
to load urls a series of external rlo files.  I also thought that it should
then be the main menu for the external rlo so its all consistent etc. which
was the basis of the post.  If you extend this a bit further you would have
an accordion as a TOC which you can display on each page (part of a frame
work etc) this will give you nested non linear navigation - not unlike
Ispring(power point to swf ) which has 2 levels.

It is possible here's an example
http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/moodle/xertetoolkits/play.php?template_id=100 
 
It uses something like <a
href="asfunction:_level0.engine.navToPage,yourpagetitle">Click here or some
other wording</a>
 
I discussed this with Julian previously and Julian posted a tweaked file to
the list. I think it was the attached .rlt but I'm not sure if anything has
changed in the Nottingham.rlt since or if the functionality is in the
current download.
 
Peter give that a try but backup the existing file first.

Hello,
 
It's not possible at present. It is for previewing though.
 
Maybe could be added to playing?

I would like to add some hyperlinks to other Xerte pages in the same 
rlo  (internal links) in an accordion navigator page generated by the 
page template
The mailing list has this topic in the archive from 2009 but its not 
clear to me how to it can be accomplished.
Is a simple example available.
