[Xerte] Re: simple presentation

[Dave Burnett]

You have to be very careful around template architecture.

You see the script icon above the Interface icon called makePages?
Open it up and look at the first line of code.

icon.nextSibling.firstChild.duplicate(templateData.presentation[0].page.length - 1);

That is making the pages of your presentation:

icon = here, this icon
nextSibling = next icon downward
firstChild = next icon rightward
duplicate = duplicate

So it is saying, duplicate the protoPage icon x number of times.

When you insert your entry pane on to the Interface page, you have inserted a sibling between makePages and the target, protoPage.
So the relative logic is destroyed and the piece is not being built.

You would have to adjust all the relative references in the piece to take into account the added entrypane icon.

Subject: [Xerte] simple presentation










Hi, I am very new in Xerte.
I am trying to understand the simple presentation 
template.
I would like to ad an entry frame to the 
interface icon and then add som cusom buttons.
However, when I insert an entry frame, 
 the application doesn't work correctly anymore. The text icon shows 
'undefined' and I cannot go through the pages.
What I am doing wrong?
 
Thanks for any help
Patricia
