[Xerte] Re: Xerte Toolkits Interface

Inspect(rootIcon) willdump a list of things rootIcon has. One of them is the textTOSpeech contrl.
TO hide it, just do blah.removeMovieClip(); where blah is the thing in the list that looks like the tts control. I think rootIcon.access

Thanks for the help Tom, got that working.  Is it also possible to remove the text to speech option via a similar method?  Text to speech is great but it's a shame it only works with certain IE settings.  I fear that our learners would get confused with setting it up to work correctly, so I think it'd be best to remove the option entirely.

Also, when adding the line _level0.engine.IFC.sizes.removeItemAt(5);  is it possible to remove multiple options?  i.e. remove number 4 and 5?  I've tried adding the line twice but it doesn't seem to work.

You need to do two things:

1. Get the template.rlt from the correct template from your XOT installation and edit it in Xerte standalone. For the standard Nottingham template, this file is called Nottingham.rlt and can be found in the folder
'modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham'
2. Add a script icon below the background image
3. Add the script:
 _level0.engine.IFC.sizes.removeItemAt(5);

(5 being the number of item 'fill window' of the sizes combobox.

See screenshot:

Optionally get data.xwd from the same folder and edit it using Notepad.

Near the top of that file you find:
<displayMode type="ComboBox" options="default,full screen,fill window" label="Display Mode" width="100"/>

Remove 'fill window' from this list. This will prevent the author of he learning object to choose 'fill window' as the default view mode.

Hi all, is it possible to remove certain choices from the options at the bottom of the interface in Xerte Toolkits?  For example, I'd like to remove the option to "fill window" in the screen size dropdown.

Which file would you need to edit? A nudge in the right direction would be great.

Thanks,

Phil
