[Xerte] Re: adding pop up action to a model

[Laurent MATHIEU]

Thank you Jonathan, it does help indeed!

I was not aware of these text blocks implemented in the next Connector models. That's good news.

>From first hand impression, there is no way for the user to display the text block and move it across the panel by dragging and dropping the window. It could be some kind of side effect of this annoying the user being not able get both the transcript and the panel content at the same time (e.g. an audio slideshow).

Anyway it is definitely worth the try, I believe I may be able to work around the issue by well defining the exact position on the page.

Regards,

/L

Objet : [Xerte] Re: adding pop up action to a model

The hotspot Connector and the Scenario Connector both display a text block over the current page content with a button to close the text block. These text blocks are normally hidden but display when something takes place. In the case of the Hotspot connector the learner clicks on a hotspot, in the case of the scenario an outcome takes place.

This was about as close as I could get to a "pop up" when I did these pages.

I don't know of a function or method in Xerte similar to a javascript alert("Some important message") method you get in javascript.

So it may be you need to add a text block with maybe a panel to act as a background and then set their visible properties to 0. When you need to display them set the visible property to 1 (or it may need "true").

Hope that is some help.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Good afternoon,

I am trying to make my first set of customised models and templates for XOT using the latest version of Xerte desktop. However I'm not sure about what is feasible and how.

One of my expectation would be to get the narration transcript displayed on demand to the learner. That could be a cool feature for learners without appropriate audio device, in a public space or even suffering from hearing damage for instance.

If possible, this development would take the form of a button invoking a pop up to be displayed - like the pop up we get from a term in the glossary or the pop up used for the table of content.

I have not had a chance to find any occurrence of these pop up from the default template and models files. Just wondering if there is a function existing for invoking such pop up?

Many thanks.

Laurent
