[Xerte] Re: Issues with Xerte Template Wizard

[Ron Mitchell]

Thanks Julian this seems to fix the issue e.g. both my compare answer and
the title page now show the narration even if those page types are the first
page. I haven't found anything this breaks although obviously haven't tested
every conceivable combination etc.

I take it you'll make this part of the download at some point.

Cheers

Ron

No, it's not the page types that are the issue. It's the order events fire
when the piece kicks up.

 

Try the attached: tell me if it breaks anything else. The logic is like
this:

 

Piece loads, loads all the model xml and builds the xml fr the piece, the
first page initialises. If there is narration on it, it fires the
'showAudio' event.

 

After the piece has initialised, rootIcon broadcasts 'onInit', which is used
to handle some other stuff.

 

Because onInit fires after showAudio, it erases the narration as they share
an interaction. If you set erase to false, the narration doesn't hide when
turning pages (which is handled by the interaction icon responding to an
'onClosePage' event from rootIcon: the erase setting kills the narration
response).

 

So I've moved onInit to it's own interaction icon in the entry frame. As it
only fires once, and does some one time stuff it shouldn't have any impact
elsewhere.

Hi Julian

I've got a similar issue with narration on my compareAnswer page in that if
it's the first page in an LO the narration doesn't show until going to the
next page and then back again e.g the same as what happens with the title
page. But I can't spot what makes these different to other page types. Is it
because as text pages without images and image loaders that they are loading
too fast and moving on before the narration player can load? What's the
difference/fix?

 

Cheers

Ron

I can fix the narration thing, but for now, make the first page the second:
add a tile page before it.

 

Is the second issue a mime types thing?

Hello,

 

I am using the Xerte Template Wizard and I am not a coder.  Is there a
different list I should be posting on?

 

In case I am in the right place, I have two issues with my first Xerte
exercise:

 

http://www.strivney.com/mod/resource/view.php?id=2038

 

1.  There is narration on the first page but it doesn't show up when the
exercise loads.  If you flick to the second page and then back again the
narration plays.

 

2.  The exercise fails to load in Internet Explorer (tried on several
versions) but behaves fine in Firefox and Google Chrome.

 

With many thanks in advance.


Deborah Delin
