Ah, oh... Perhaps I am using the wrong versions of xertes? I cannot see an export project option... I thought I would use 2.17 and use the wizards provided. I then used the publish option, which does create web content. I am not using XOT although the wizards seem to create a learning object called XOT instead of an LO.. So is it not possible to upload any content created using the template wizards then? If not, which route would you recommend for allowing my collegues to develop/upload content without coding ?

The easiest way to change the node names is to open the file in Flash Develop and do a search and replace. I usually create a new page by starting with an existing page type that does something similar to what I want the new page to do. This will be even easier in the next release of Xerte. The next release of desktop Xerte will feature "pages" projects. These allow you to have access to every page type that is available in page templates projects (or XOT projects) but with full access to the page structure and the xwd form. You will be able to create a page in a project using an existing page type and then edit the xwd form for that page to change the xml attributes available to the page. You then edit the page structure to consume those new attributes and to present them how you want them presented to the end user. Once you have the page working you can save the model for the page. Finally you load both the xwd and the new model for the page into Flash develop and use search and replace to change the node names and you are pretty much there with a brand new page. You'll love it :-) Kind regards Johnathan On 30 July 2012 20:01, Cowell, Elizabeth > wrote: thanks so much for your help both.

Since your page is trying to do something similar to the quiz page you can use the code in templates.xwd for the quiz page as a starting point for your page, you can copy it but - When you develop a new page type it is a good idea to use unique object names.

What I was trying to do was a multi page questionnaire, with a likert rating for each question. So a framework in which you define a series of question sets, one per page, each containing a series of questions for each page, with five radio buttons per question. Its so I could use it to put together skills audits and other questionairres and ideally extend it to put in a bar chart at the end... I'm still learning about xertes though, so maybe I need to do a simple model first then, and then extend it to this multi-page one? I also had a problem with the buttons seemingly returning the wrong parent index when it was a) The last radio button of the last question on a page the index of it's parent node (the question number) is decremented by one too many b) The last radio button of each set of five gives a parent node incremented by one.. I just thought I'd mention this in case it was a known bug in xertes 2. I basically modified the simple quiz example, and duplicated five radio buttons per question, so know idea why only the last ones are returning bad indexes when the code is identical... Thanks for your advice, I will scale down to a simple example and start from there...

Hello, I've developed a multipage questionnaire, and have saved it as a model. I can import it using the "insert model" option, but I want to be able to insert it like the other models, when you run the online toolkits template wizard - ie where it says +Insert, I want my model to appear and be usable. I saw the template.xwd referred to the models for insert , and managed to hack mine in place of the quiz one, but it doesn't really work. I can see I somehow have to put the definitions from the initial xml/xwd files into the template.xwd/xml or ensure it's in the rlm but I don't really know where.. On peeking into the other rlms it appears the other models have additional startup scripting which determines where they are being called from, which is not explained anywhere that I can find. Is there any in-depth guidance on this, or how you integrate anything you build into the toolkit so that it can be used easily by other people in my team? I want them to be able to use xertes and add either the standard things like quizzes etc or add my model?? Also, I cannot find out what the file Templates options does. It creates a template, but an xtp rather than an rlt ? not sure what the difference is?. I feel like I have missed out on some documentation somewhere? Any help / direction much appreciated, as it seems like a big leap from simply running through the startup guide on a quiz to getting a fuller integrated solution which adds the models we want to xertes... I can do action script and programming etc, but feel like I am having to work backwards from the examples given to work out how to do things and I am not sure I am getting it right.. Any help much much appreciated, seem to have spent a while on this and am on verge of giving up now.

Since your page is trying to do something similar to the quiz page you can use the code in templates.xwd for the quiz page as a starting point for your page, you can copy it but - When you develop a new page type it is a good idea to use unique object names. Since the quiz page uses objects named "quiz", "question", "option" you should change these e.g. likertQuiz, likertQuestion, likertOption. That way your page will not clash with the current quiz page. This will be significant when the next version of Xerte / XOT is released as each page has its own unique .xwd file and the aggregated data.xwd or templates.xwd file used by XOT or a pageTemplates project will be built from these individual xwd files. I think below Julian may have intended the section under to have started ]]> The and not Kind regards Johnathan On 30 July 2012 15:39, Julian Tenney wrote: Good idea. So you want to be able to add pages to your main page, questions to your pages. Maybe build a single page likert quiz where you can add just questions to start with. If you want multi-page likert quizzes, just build new ones on a new page, that would make it easy for now. So in the LO newNodes bit in the .xwd ]] Then later on ]]> You also need to define the form for a likertStatement ? but that?s easy? Then you can build a skinny likert.rlm, and start getting at the data the same way other pages do (refer to some simple ones). You should be able to add statements to the questionnaire, and see them in the data too: then start on the basic interaction, you?ll need to duplicate a protoStatement the right number of times. That should get you going. One obvious question is how to handle the user feedback? Then think about more options, like how many options to present the user: can the author set the scale?

What I was trying to do was a multi page questionnaire, with a likert rating for each question. So a framework in which you define a series of question sets, one per page, each containing a series of questions for each page, with five radio buttons per question. Its so I could use it to put together skills audits and other questionairres and ideally extend it to put in a bar chart at the end? I?m still learning about xertes though, so maybe I need to do a simple model first then, and then extend it to this multi-page one? I also had a problem with the buttons seemingly returning the wrong parent index when it was a) The last radio button of the last question on a page the index of it?s parent node (the question number) is decremented by one too many b) The last radio button of each set of five gives a parent node incremented by one.. I just thought I?d mention this in case it was a known bug in xertes 2. I basically modified the simple quiz example, and duplicated five radio buttons per question, so know idea why only the last ones are returning bad indexes when the code is identical? Thanks for your advice, I will scale down to a simple example and start from there?

It works there, right? So you know the xerte code is fine. Can you make a simple stripped down example that just does the sendAndLoadVars thing and share the files? If it were me I'd do that, put the rlo and the php in the same folder ona webserver and try it again, then I'd debug in the engine to see if the data is coming back, and what gets returned, any errors, etc. -----Original Message----- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Paul Swanson Sent: 07 August 2012 15:52 To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Re: Desktop Xerte 2.17 -- having trouble reading data from external script I've tried it on our live server, and get the same 'undefined' issue.

It works fine in Preview mode, and I know the script is getting the login information and returning a string because in preview mode I receive and can display the correct response with info from my database. I also have the PHP database script email me the same string. This works beautifully in Preview mode, but when I copy my rlo and other published files to localhost and run it from there, Xerte prints ?undefined? for the rawData property returned from a sendAndLoadVars call. The database script still emails me the correct response. Here?s what I?m sending to my PHP authentication script (domain is defined in a login script, and the parent Page icon has an id of loginCheck): // real url URLString = domain + '/wbt/app/admin/authenticate.php'; // pass values to external script loginVars = new LoadVars (); loginVars.action = 'authenticate'; loginVars.login = username; loginVars.sku = sku; // send to login script loginCheck.sendAndLoadVars(URLString, loginVars); Following the above, I have an Interaction with an Event icon (eventName = onSendAndLoadVars, icon = loginCheck). Attached to the event is a script icon with: // initialize btnPath -- assume not authenticated btnPath = 1; // 1 is the fail path message = ''; // initialize message responseMessage = ''; // initialize response message rawStuff = loginCheck.rawData; loginInstructions.setText(loginCheck.rawData); //rawStuff = replace(rawStuff, '®', ''); rawInfoArray = rawStuff.split('&'); // save string pairs into an array for (i = 0; i < rawInfoArray.length; i++) { // break pairs into smaller arrays and parse tempArray = rawInfoArray[i].split('='); // split on = sign switch (tempArray[0]) { case 'reg_id': sid = tempArray[1]; btnPath = 0; break; case 'message': responseMessage = tempArray[1]; break; } } debug('sid: ' + sid + '\nresponseMessage: ' + responseMessage); debug(loginCheck.rawData); // display appropriate response if (btnPath == 1) { message = '

It works there, right? So you know the xerte code is fine. Can you make a simple stripped down example that just does the sendAndLoadVars thing and share the files? If it were me I'd do that, put the rlo and the php in the same folder ona webserver and try it again, then I'd debug in the engine to see if the data is coming back, and what gets returned, any errors, etc. -----Original Message----- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Paul Swanson Sent: 07 August 2012 15:52 To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Re: Desktop Xerte 2.17 -- having trouble reading data from external script I've tried it on our live server, and get the same 'undefined' issue.

I am rebuilding the file, and so far the same code parsing code is working on localhost accessing the same PHP scripts. It must be something else in the file that is causing the problem. Yesterday afternoon I re-introduced the reading of the XML file and duplicating the quiz nodes. So far so good. Now I just have another database read (the first read checks to see if the user is registered for the course, the second read will get their current information an progress if they are registered -- maybe I should combine those two), then some interface changes and the final scoring / send results to the database. I think it will work, there must have been something corrupted in the original file somewhere.

The setup goes well but fails on the page4.php page. Each db 'insert' query fails with the following error: "The sitedetails site ID query insert into sitedetails(site_id) VALUES ( "1") has failed due to No database selected" When I've checked in phpmyadmin the database and table exists. I can't see anything on the previous page about specifying the database name so presume it's stored in a session variable? It's running on an Ubuntu 12.04 server, PHP 5.3.10, Apache 2.2.22, MySQL 5.5.22. Has anyone any pearls of wisdom about this?

Now I just have another database read (the first read checks to see if the user is registered for the course, the second read will get their current information an progress if they are registered -- maybe I should combine those two), then some interface changes and the final scoring / send results to the database.

The setup goes well but fails on the page4.php page. Each db ?insert? query fails with the following error: ?The sitedetails site ID query insert into sitedetails(site_id) VALUES ( "1") has failed due to No database selected? When I?ve checked in phpmyadmin the database and table exists. I can?t see anything on the previous page about specifying the database name so presume it?s stored in a session variable? It?s running on an Ubuntu 12.04 server, PHP 5.3.10, Apache 2.2.22, MySQL 5.5.22. Has anyone any pearls of wisdom about this?

If I had a link to an image or other file in an LO like and then exported and imported that LO into another toolkits installation on a different domain the image or link would still work as long as the original location was still available but in the original post the reference is to which obviously isn't publically accessible. The other question is - the original post refers to images not other files types etc so why are the images being linked as full url's rather than imported to a page which contains an image option and therefore maintains the correct links when exported and imported?

After re-writing my Xerte piece, it is all working on localhost, and I have no reason to believe it won't work on my live server. I don't know what the problem was, but I made no changes to the code that received and parsed the response from the server. I didn't change much, the biggest change was using the native text entry response instead of a V2 component, but the problem wasn't with getting the text from the user (I use the email address to log in), it was the response from the server that wasn't recognized. It must be because there is a blue moon this month. ;o) Paul Swanson Internal Business Systems Analyst Internal Business Intelligence Harland Financial Solutions (800) 274-7280 Ext. 2462 Paul.Swanson at harlandfs.com -----Original Message----- From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Paul Swanson Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2012 7:22 AM To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Re: Desktop Xerte 2.17 -- having trouble reading data from external script It has to be something in my Xerte code. I am rebuilding the file, and so far the same code parsing code is working on localhost accessing the same PHP scripts. It must be something else in the file that is causing the problem. Yesterday afternoon I re-introduced the reading of the XML file and duplicating the quiz nodes. So far so good. Now I just have another database read (the first read checks to see if the user is registered for the course, the second read will get their current information an progress if they are registered -- maybe I should combine those two), then some interface changes and the final scoring / send results to the database. I think it will work, there must have been something corrupted in the original file somewhere.

This is one of the things that is on my personal wish list, drag and drop with images. I don't really understand what you mean with full width, half height. But the concept is clear to me. 2. Also this shouldn't be too difficult, except perhaps for the colouring of specific text with brackets. I am not sure whether I like that solution. You can already add colour by using font tags, but I admit, that is not the easiest to do either. Perhaps I can add a right click context menu for colouring. I will do (at least most) od these things, but I will not use 2.17 for that. I will use xerte 2.18/xot 1.8, because then it is so much easier to maintain. (in xerte 2.18/xot 1.8 the models are shared between the two.). What would be the cost? Im my case, in principal, patience... If you have a real urgent need, or have to make a deadline, we can discuss it off-line (in Dutch if you want).

I use the desktop version myself, but she is having problems exporting packages as the system reports "fatal errors". Having googled some solutions and it appears that since the content is greater that 100MB (compressed video files and images) , this may cause problems - advice about regarding changing the "memory" limits in various php files has not worked. Can anyone offer any solutions or advice? Alternatively, is there a way to export the "content" from the "USB memory stick" method into a set of file it can be read by the Xerte (desktop) tool , so that I can try exporting the SCORM/IMS package this way?

The imported object appears in my workspace but without content showing, the zip file does seem to contain all the required files and media however. I am trying to migrate/copy an object made in a personal user's account into a shared AD account where a number of us share a login for the same Xerte workspace, I got the user to 'share' the object but I couldn't edit it. Just wondering if we are missing something in terms of export/ import, I seem to recall we had probs exporting a year or so back and needed some fixes, looks like we may have reintroduced the same problems again with a pre- v.3 upgrade. Any ideas appreciated!

There doesn't appear to be the line of code ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); in php.ini Also, the php.ini file is in a slight different folder patch i.e. \xampp\htdocs\toolkits\website_code\php\scorm Therefore, I edited the php.ini file and added the 2 lines of code near the top of the file and before the conditional coding statements: ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); ini_set('memory_limit','128M'); but still got the error "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 125829120 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35267066 bytes) in J:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\website_code\php\scorm\archive.php on line 630" Does the path of "\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\website_code\php\scorm\php.ini" and the absence of " ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);" indicate that I my colleague is using an old version?

I downloaded Xerte 3 but then decided it might be a bit beyond me for now so I have been having a go at using Xerte Online Toolkits via the ISC Techdis 'sandbox'. This is great and I am beginning to get the idea. I have managed to export my learning object as I see that the sandbox is cleared on a regular basis. Am I correct in thinking that I cannot reimport a learning object back in to continue working on it? As this seems to be the case, I am trying to download the online toolkits for use on a personal computer. However this link - http://localhost/xertetoolkits/setup - doesn't work so I can't complete the setup. I think there may have been some error in installing xampp also but will come back to this once I can test it out. Can anyone advise? Sometimes sorting out the software, downloads etc can be a most frustrating task! Many thanks for your help.

The developments of computer networks, the improvement of the processing capability of personal computers and the advance of multimedia technologies, among other factors, contributed to the creation of this scenario. However, despite consisting of an effective teaching method, distance education still presents some challenges, among which we highlight the need for a pedagogical and computerized support appropriate to the characteristics of each person. Through this support is possible to automate increasingly the process of learning, making the teacher a facilitator and cease to be the main source of information that drives the learning process. One of the ways to provide DE is through the use of mobile devices. This modality is known as Mobile Learning. This way of providing education allows that students and teachers can take advantage of the resources offered by mobile technologies. One of these benefits is the possibility to access, view, and provide content irrespective of time and location. However, even with the benefits offered by mobile learning, we should consider the particular characteristics of each student, including the resources of which he holds. This is necessary not only to provide content that meets the needs of students, but also to provide content in an appropriate way to the constraints of mobile devices since they have distinct and limited resources. In this context, the concept of context-aware environments arises. This kind of environment fits to the user, considering information provided by the selfsame user, beyond those captured dynamically from his interaction with the learning environment. This learning modality based on context-aware and mobile environments is called Ubiquitous Learning. The increasing use and diffusion of Web technologies and the ubiquity of educational tools have provided breakthroughs in learning environments. It is known that students should no longer be treated in a homogeneous way. An ubiquitous learning (or u-learning) environment provides students with a teaching method that would be not possible to be performed in a conventional web-based course. An u-learning environment may be understood as a context-aware mobile learning environment, providing most adaptive contents for learners. Context awareness describes a paradigm in which the context of a user is considered to define his profile. There is no consensus about the definition of "context". This one is specific to the application and the desired intention, requiring the identification of functions and properties of the individuals' domains. This book will cover subjects related to u-learning. The u-learning, generally, refers to learning supported by technology, performed anytime and anywhere. So, u-learning occurs when learning does not have a fixed location, or when the students take advantage of mobile technologies. It is considered by some authors as an evolution of the concept of mobile learning (m-learning). In this sense, the idea of ubiquity in the learning process provides valuable contributions to thinking about invisible learning, which by nature is dependent of the student context. A major contribution of adoption of ICT in everyday life is extending the pre-established limits of what is traditionally known as learning spaces. In other words, technology is opening new possibilities for converting other spaces in learning spaces. These new opportunities represent a new educational paradigm, because they enable anybody to produce and disseminate information so that learning can occur at any time and space. In other words, learning occurs not only in the classroom, but also at home, at work, in the courtyard, in the library, in the museum, at the park, and in daily interactions with others. For example, through mobile devices, the learner is able to interact with the environment by capturing images, sounds, videos, and location information from the environment. That ability to capture information in different contexts motivates the students to create new learning situations through interactions with the environment. *The Overall Objective of the Book* The proposed book has an overall objective to clarify the new technologies, applications, and researches in the u-learning area. It intends to help students, teachers, and researchers to obtain a larger understanding of both the potential of the related new technologies and the trends that are being followed to make u-learning more effective. The successful implementation of u-learning in face of the opportunities provided by new technologies is not a trivial task. The accumulated experience and know-how of the researchers in this area, which have invested time and effort in study in the attempt of solving problems in this area, are, therefore, important success factors. This book will share this know-how with other researchers, students, and interested professionals in this area. We will intend to show the current trends, practices, and challenges faced by designers of u-learning environments. These can include theoretical assumptions and empirical researches to practical implementations and case studies. In the end, the readers should have a clear notion about the current stage and the future tendencies in this area. * * *The Target Audience* Computer-supported learning is a genuinely interdisciplinary area that strives for creating a better comprehension of the requirements of the learning process that are mediated by a diverse set of computer technologies. Therefore, this book is addressed to a wide audience, including researchers and students, and educators and industrial trainers interested in various disciplines, such as education, cognition, social and educational psychology, didacticism and, mainly, computer science applied to education. *Recommended topics include but are not limited to the following:* *Virtual and Augmented Reality Technologies Applied to U-Learning * *Mobile and Context-Aware Learning* *Use of Interactive Digital TV for U-Learning * *Context-Aware Learning Objects for U-Learning* *Use of Intelligent and Pedagogical Agents for Improving Collaboration in U-Learning* *Game-Based Learning versus U-Learning* *Modeling technologies for U-Learning systems* *Advances in design of U-Learning systems* *Main issues and trends in U-Learning* *Problems and challenges in U-Learning environments* *New technologies for surpassing the challenges of U-Learning* *Developing Technologies for U-Learning* *Validation and testing technologies for U-Learning systems* *Mobile Learning versus U-Learning* *New approaches for developing U-Learning systems* * * SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit *on or before September 15, 2012*, a 2-5 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by *September 30, 2012* about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by *Dezember 30, 2012*. The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group, Inc., www.idea-group.com, publisher of the Idea Group Publishing, Information Science Publishing, IRM Press, CyberTech Publishing and Idea Group Reference imprints, in *2013*. *Inquiries and Submissions can be forwarded electronically (Word document) to:* *Francisco Milton Mendes Neto*E-mail: miltonmendes at ufersa.edu.br -- ---Danilo C?mara--- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Restore the XOT 1.8 files e.g. make sure there are no old moodle patch files still in place 2. At the bottom of the xot config.php enable guest authentication rather than moodle authentication and make sure the basics work via that method first. If not report back to the list. 3. If you have admin access to your moodle visit the phpinfo page and check the session.save_path value that will show the path to your moodledata folder not the install folder but the first part of that path will show something like /home/username/moodledata/sessions/ so then you can work out the path to your moodle config e.g. something like /home/username/moodle/config.php 4. Visit the xot management page and check or add that path to the integration path field and click save 5. Change the xot config.php to use moodle integration rather than guest authentication and verify that it now works. If not report back to the list.

I then created a flashPaper type page and used a print2flash file that Dave had supplied to me. The file opened with no problem, other than it opened at the last page. I am now in the process of updating the model file for the flashPaper page, to correct this and also taking a look at the Tabbed Navigator Connector page to ensure it also performs correctly with print2flash. As far as my tests go there should therefore be no problems opening print2flash files in the next version of Xerte desktop. I cannot confirm any reported problems with the current version as I no longer have this installed.

Recent discussions on the list lead me to look at free options and I found pdf2swf, part of the swfTools download. However at present its viewer appears limited in that I cannot find a way of increasing the width of the display window whilst retaining the same height, so as to allow for a larger size text display, without causing the display to be distorted horizontally. Is anyone else using pdf2swf? Does anyone know of any other completely free, unrestricted, software alternatives? I am already aware that Open Office Impress has an export to swf option. What I am looking for is something that will handle Writer documents or will take the output that would be printed and convert it to a swf file.

To shed some more light, I was rather talking about the "Slideshow" template, not the "Audio slideshow" one. The Sync points work perfectly as indicated with an mp3 file on an "Audio slideshow" item, yet not on a "Slideshow". I noticed there is no Sound parameter on that last one, therefore I am wondering whether the audio sync point is actually implemented or not.

You can get accurate sync points by previewing the audio and using pause and play which copies and pastes the sync points to the selected nested page.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

Weird: I see the fla has changed, I compile a new wizard.swf, the svn doesn't pick up any changes in the file, and when I try and commit I see no files have changed. Double checked: yes, the new icon is in the librry of wizard.fla, so wizard.swf should now be different. Hmm.

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

Trying to make a new model available in XOT, I created a new template with Xerte (Page Template). Then I created the new model (indeed, I cloned and modified the slideshow model). Then I updated the template.xwd, following this guide. Now I have a template that suits me, and I want to get it usable in XOT. So, reading the previous Xerte mailing list posts on this topic, a created a zip file containing the template, that is: * mytemplate/common/* * mytemplate/languages/* * mytemplate/media/* * mytemplate/models/* (-> with my modified copy of slideshow.rlm) * mytemplate/thumbs/* * mytemplate/mytemplate.rlt * mytemplate/template.xml * mytemplate/template.xwd (-> updated to define the new model) But, as some other people here, I am stuck with the template upload button in management.php, which doesn't do anything, neither giving me any error message. Is there a way to resolve this problem, or a different way to import a template in XOT ? Maybe manually copying the files on the file system and updating the database ?

Also you need to ensure that your object names in the xwd file are unique (not used by other pages ) and that your model file has been edited to use these object names. The top level object name and file name should be the same. For example the objects in the slideshow page, as shown in data.xwd are "slideshow" and "nestedPage" So your new page might use instead "slideshow_jc" and "nestedPage_jc" and references to "slideshow" and "nestedPage" in your .rlm file would need changing accordingly. You can do this with a search and replace using FlashDevelop. Your new model file would be called slideshow_jc.rlm Kind regards Johnathan On 29 August 2012 10:06, Julien CHEZEAUX wrote: > Hello all! > > > > Trying to make a new model available in XOT, I created a new template with > Xerte (Page Template). > > Then I created the new model (indeed, I cloned and modified the slideshow > model). > > Then I updated the template.xwd, following this guide > . > > > > Now I have a template that suits me, and I want to get it usable in XOT. > > So, reading the previous Xerte mailing list posts on this topic, a created > a zip file containing the template, that is: > > ? *mytemplate*/common/* > > ? *mytemplate*/languages/* > > ? *mytemplate*/media/* > > ? *mytemplate*/models/* (-> with my modified copy of > slideshow.rlm) > > ? *mytemplate*/thumbs/* > > ? *mytemplate*/*mytemplate*.rlt > > ? *mytemplate*/template.xml > > ? *mytemplate*/template.xwd (-> updated to define the new model) > > > > But, as some other people here, I am stuck with the template upload button > in management.php, which doesn?t do anything, neither giving me any error > message. > > > > Is there a way to resolve this problem, or a different way to import a > template in XOT ?

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

Thanks a lot for your help. I managed to get it working with Julian Tenney method (modifying the Nottingham xwd in order to insert the model in the template). Furthermore, following Pat Lockley advices, I copied my template into the parent_template directory and modified the originaltemplatedetails in the database, and so I got the template name listed in XOT user interface. I can start a new project with this template, but it is impossible to insert an object in it, I guess the link between the database entry and the rlm template is not working. Anyway it doesn't matter because I got the model working with the original template. Thanks also to Johnathan Kemp for the instructions on how to create the new model, I did it right before reading your message but it's always a good thing to have all the details gathered. Now it's time to create content!

I've made a new template and can load it onto the flowline. Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it. So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file. In the first script icon of the .rlm we have: if (extXML == undefined){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined? What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function. Cheers,Dave -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The problem appears to be that the pop up text displays from below the last hotspot label (based on its original position. When the labels are dragged to the middle of the screen they are repositioned and get covered over. A better solution might be if when dropped onto the middle of the screen they simply returned to their original position. I am not over expert on drag and drop stuff.

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

Then the function can handle the specifics, and users don't need to see code that doesn't concern them, and we don't have duplicate code in every model file. We have discussed this before, I recall some challenges in trying to make it work. Worth looking at again? From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Kemp Johnathan Sent: 30 August 2012 21:31 To: Xerte discussion list Subject: [Xerte] Re: Creating new template question Hello Dave, Sorry for the confusion. The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

I just opened a new file in Xerte and then inserted the drag/drop .rlm I am trying to alter. so I added the templateData path in the LO and then used just pageIcon.templateData = extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.learningObject[0]; to get the data loaded. Why am I using learningObject and you are using pageWizard I thought you had deprecated pageWizard. ________________________________ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:25:56 +0100 From: johnathan.kemp at ntlworld.com To: xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Xerte] Re: Creating new template question You are using an old model file probably from a page wizard. The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it. So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file. In the first script icon of the .rlm we have: if (extXML == undefined){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined? What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function.

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon. Kind regards Johnathan On 28 August 2012 14:07, Kemp Johnathan > wrote: The only page missing an icon is the index changer. Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

Weird: I see the fla has changed, I compile a new wizard.swf, the svn doesn?t pick up any changes in the file, and when I try and commit I see no files have changed. Double checked: yes, the new icon is in the librry of wizard.fla, so wizard.swf should now be different. Hmm.

OK, I have exported a copy of wizard.fla from the xerte svn / editor / folder I have followed your instructions to add a new icon icIndexChanger and saved the changes. Are there any specific settings that you use to compile wizard.swf from the new fla file, or would you prefer me to simply upload the changed wizard.fla file to the svn for someone else to build the .swf file?

On looking at the format for the adding of an icon in the xwd file it appears that the file name is not used e.g. icon="icSound" so where does the "icSound" bit come from? Is this a reference allocated to the image file when it is imported into the editor.swf? If so I will be happy to edit the xwd file as soon as I know what identifier has been given to the icon.

Tom asked me about this on the 8th August and I replied on the 12th having been away on holiday. In fairness to Tom I told him I was unaware of the icon set he referred to, explained what the page did and invited him to select an icon. I have just googled for the famfamfam icon set and found them. So in the absence of any other icon having been allocated in the meantime can i suggest we use the icon attached. If that is acceptable. I will modify the indexChanger.xwd file to use that icon, but I will need someone else to do what is necessary to include it in Xerte so that the icon lists against the page and the xwd file can find it. This should not affect XOT in any way as the indexChanger page is unique to the desktop environment. Sorry for any delay that may have been down to me.

My take on this (for what its worth) Licences If people are going to start downloading Xerte 2.18 once the word gets out it may be important to have any licences that have been used in Xerte correctly recognised. Recognition Always a dilemma. Perhaps one that could be discussed briefly at the forthcoming Xerte meeting just to ensure that no one feels hard done by. But not a legal issue and resolvable at a later date. Initially a generic "Thanks to everyone in the Xerte community who have contributed to this release" could plug the gap in the interim.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do. Kind regards Johnathan On 30 August 2012 15:42, Dave Burnett > wrote: I'm playing with the new 2.18 version (Thanks to Johnathan and all!). I've made a new template and can load it onto the flowline. Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it. So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file. In the first script icon of the .rlm we have: if (extXML == undefined){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined? What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

Look in the project folder and all you have is the .rlo file If instead you create a "pages" type project then all the support needed by the model files is available in your project folder i.e. the common folder with all the swfs used by the model files the mapstraction folder for the mapstraction page the media folder with the styles.css file in it the thumbs folder with the thumbnails for each page. also The .rlo file with the scripts to support the model files e.g. support for narration, as well as the setting of the flag to trip the model files to operate in Xerte rather than XOT mode. An xml file and an xwd file to support the modification of the look and feel of the project. Yes you could start with File / New and then add in the support for model files manually, but why bother when it is easier to simply create a "pages" type project? What is missing at the moment is some documentation to support this. In earlier versions of Xerte the models were always there to be used but most of the same issues would have applied. Lack of common folder so no swfs. Lack of scripts to support shared features such as narration. The major significant difference came with the move to a universal set of model files, because this introduced the need for the file to detect whether it was in a Xerte or XOT environment. This was originally done by testing for the existence of extXML, which worked without the need for an external flag being set. However this became compromised when I explored the possibility in XOT and pageTemplates of loading an external XML file into the entry frame as a means of loading in layout data, similar to the feature now available in Xerte 2.18 pages projects. Hence the change to an external flag that is set in the script. Kind regards Johnathan On 31 August 2012 14:48, Julian Tenney wrote: > Yes, with the scripts in the entry frame and other stuff needed.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

Look in the project folder and all you have is the .rlo file If instead you create a "pages" type project then all the support needed by the model files is available in your project folder i.e. the common folder with all the swfs used by the model files the mapstraction folder for the mapstraction pagethe media folder with the styles.css file in itthe thumbs folder with the thumbnails for each page. also The .rlo file with the scripts to support the model files e.g. support for narration, as well as the setting of the flag to trip the model files to operate in Xerte rather than XOT mode. An xml file and an xwd file to support the modification of the look and feel of the project. Yes you could start with File / New and then add in the support for model files manually, but why bother when it is easier to simply create a "pages" type project? What is missing at the moment is some documentation to support this. In earlier versions of Xerte the models were always there to be used but most of the same issues would have applied. Lack of common folder so no swfs. Lack of scripts to support shared features such as narration. The major significant difference came with the move to a universal set of model files, because this introduced the need for the file to detect whether it was in a Xerte or XOT environment. This was originally done by testing for the existence of extXML, which worked without the need for an external flag being set. However this became compromised when I explored the possibility in XOT and pageTemplates of loading an external XML file into the entry frame as a means of loading in layout data, similar to the feature now available in Xerte 2.18 pages projects. Hence the change to an external flag that is set in the script. Kind regards Johnathan On 31 August 2012 14:48, Julian Tenney wrote: Yes, with the scripts in the entry frame and other stuff needed.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

I just opened a new file in Xerte and then inserted the drag/drop .rlm I am trying to alter. so I added the templateData path in the LO and then used just pageIcon.templateData = extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.learningObject[0]; to get the data loaded. Why am I using learningObject and you are using pageWizardI thought you had deprecated pageWizard. Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:25:56 +0100 From: johnathan.kemp at ntlworld.com To: xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Xerte] Re: Creating new template question You are using an old model file probably from a page wizard. The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it. So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file. In the first script icon of the .rlm we have: if (extXML == undefined){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined? What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function.

Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired.

This should remove most if not all the confusion. Xerte would then offer a) the original interface b) the original interface plus a selection of functioning pre designed pages ( but only if you create a pages project) Remember once in a pages project you can still build your own pages from scratch if you want to, just like in the original interface.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

I just opened a new file in Xerte and then inserted the drag/drop .rlm I am trying to alter. so I added the templateData path in the LO and then used just pageIcon.templateData = extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.learningObject[0]; to get the data loaded. Why am I using learningObject and you are using pageWizard I thought you had deprecated pageWizard. ________________________________ Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2012 18:25:56 +0100 From: johnathan.kemp at ntlworld.com To: xerte at lists.nottingham.ac.uk Subject: [Xerte] Re: Creating new template question You are using an old model file probably from a page wizard. The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it. So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file. In the first script icon of the .rlm we have: if (extXML == undefined){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined? What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it. So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file. In the first script icon of the .rlm we have: if (extXML == undefined){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined? What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function.

If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.

The new model files use pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets rootIcon.projMode = "dev"; This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment. Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

The Page Wizards were never part of the official Xerte download. They were produced as a separate zip file that when unzipped created a set of folders, each of which contained several .xcp files. Each single .xcp file defined the xwd, rlm and xml file for a page. It is this separate add on to Xerte that has been retired. The new Xerte 2.18 includes for each page type a separate xwd that defines the form, and an rlm file that defines the model for each page. Look in Xerte \ pages \ models \ wizards \ en-GB to find them. Each of the pages in the original page wizards download had its own xml file that was already populated with data. Its data was enclosed in tags so the top level node that existed when Xerte converted the xml to an object was "learningObject" All the pages in Xerte 2.18 generate xml with their data enclosed in tags so the top level node in the object is "pageWizard" It really doesn't matter what the top level node is called as long as you are consistent. I think when we moved to implement the individual page templates in Xerte 2.18 I changed from using "learningObject" as that is what is used in pageTemplates xml files as a wrapper to contain the data for a whole Xerte project and not just for one page. The important thing to realise is that in a pageTemplates (project wide template ) project or a XOT project there is only a single xml file that contains the data for all of the pages. Whereas in a Xerte pages project each page has its own xml data file (apologies if I am teaching you to suck eggs :-) Since the intention is to create a model file that can be used in either Xerte or XOT this raises a problem since the structure of the xml file differs between the single page for Xerte individual page and the one file containing the data for all the pages in a XOT or pageTemplates type of project. The opening section of the rlm file pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip(); if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ // Page Wizard pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject(); pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0]; } else { // Toolkits myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]); pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject(); } resolves this and the line highlighted in yellow effectively strips out the reference to pageWizard so that the rest of the model file can refer to pageIcon.templateData and thus be identical for both environments. The original Page Wizard files were only designed to work in the desktop Xerte individual page environment so this was not an issue at the time. What is now significant is that Tom has written some php code that will parse through all the xwd files in a xerte install to generate a new template.xwd file that can be used in XOT. Remember XOT does not use individual xwd files but instead uses a single file containing the forms for all the pages. I think this parser looks for the and tags that are contained in the individual xwd files to help identify the relevant sections to include when building the template.xwd file. You can develop new pages by creating a project using File / New However if you do so and then try using any of the existing model files you will run into a number of issues such as missing swf files, rootIcon.projMode will not be defined and some supporting code that is shared by several of the models e.g. narration support will not exist in your project. Alternatively if you start your project using Pages / Create New Page Project then all the items needed to support the models will be included in your project. So it kind of makes sense to use the Page Project option and then to create a new page by starting from an existing one. If you pick a page that has some of the features you want in your page you can add extra fields to the xwd form run the form and examine the xml file to see that it is being populated correctly. Then you can modify the page's structure to consume the new data. By keeping to the standard structures used in the new pages you will ensure that your new pages can be transferred to XOT if you wish to do that. I hope that is a bit clearer.
