[Xerte] Re: Toolkits - Location of XMLEngine?

[Julian Tenney]

You're trying to do a customisation?

I think the setup scripts mostly pre-process the xml, load the models, pre-parse some stuff. I don't think it does much with the interface.

Keep your stage area 514 px high: that's the size hardcoded into a lot of the templates. Use the 560 example to test, 'cos it's got pretty much all the templates in it: you can fish the xml out of your cache.

What I might do is send in your own value for visuals and handle that as a separate case if you want to do anything funky in the engine.

Or use the swf parameter on the interface icon t load  a custom swf: the only dragon down that road is positioning the stage to the right place, but that's easy in code in the swf. This is how it was intended to be done.

OK.
I obviously don't want to rip out the existing pane content in the .rlt as there are setup scripts in there.

It stops the INTERFACE class drawing the interface and building the controls, positioning the stage. INTERFACE is a subclass of FRAMEWORK, so it basically gives you a plain framework to start with

OK, cheers.
Trying to reverse engineer what visuals=0 actually does in the entry pane

You shouldn't need a path: just image.jpg if you want to reference things in the root: play.php is in the root and it loads the engine from the root.

Where are FileLocation and templatePath pointing to?

I'm putting things next to XMLEngine and FileLocation + 'blah.jpg' doesn't seem to see them.
