<div></div>
<div>Quick note for anyone else out there having the problem that's been discussed in this thread -
<br>
<br>
It seems that if you replace "<b>templatePath</b>" with "<b>FileLocation</b>" in any wizard rlm file, this solves the problem. A page built from the updated wizard then works both on its own and run inside our wrapper.<br>
<br>
I thought we had tried this solution, but it is possible I used "<b>fileLocation</b>" instead of "<b>FileLocation</b>" early in the process with no luck and never noticed the mistake.
<br>
<br>
DUH<br>
<br>
Is there a reason that the desktop page wizards use templatePath, or is it just a leftover from XOT?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Don't know how your wrapper works, but I'm guessing you'll have to get that var into the wrapper and pass it down to the embedded .rlo swf<br>

This is all highly un-researched, just indirect references I found in the archives:<br>
<br>
<br>
"You need to distinquish between template path and FileLocation when running in toolkits, as the two locations are different.
<br>
FileLocation is the folder where the xml file is; templatePath is the folder where the rlt is.
<br>
Locally, the two are the same."<br>
<br>
I did a search in a local copy of XOT and found this in rloObject.js:<br>
<br>
var templatePath = rloFile.substr(0, rloFile.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);<br>
================<br>
<br>
I'm guessing .rloFile refers to the domain path to the .rlo on the server.<br>
<br>
So my shot in the dark is you have to make sure templatePath is pointing to the folder where your .rlt is located (not the .rlo), as it looks like it defaults to above).<br>

Subject: [Xerte] templatePath problem in Page Templates with Desktop Xerte 2<br>
<br>
We've been using the page wizards to create learning objects that we then load into a flash wrapper application that creates a menu of them so that the user can select them as desired.
<br>
<br>
Everything works fine with the wizard created pages when run directly in the browser.
<br>
<br>
All xerte pages that are created by hand rather than by page templates work fine when run in our wrapper and also when published and run on their own in a browser.
<br>
<br>
The problem comes when we run an rlo file containing wizard-created pages from our flash wrapper - it can't seem to resolve "templatePath" in order to find the panel.swf that I reference.
<br>
<br>
We can't find where templatePath is being assigned. Looked around on the wiki page the source for xerte.swf but couldn't find it.<br>
<br>
<br>
Here's the line from the one of the page template rlm files:<br>
<span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"> <DIS tabIndex="-1" id="panel" name="panel" x="-300" y="20" type="ext" url="templatePath + 'common/whitePanel.swf'"><![CDATA[]]></DIS><br>
</span><br>
<br>
Tried substituting "fileLocation" for it but that didn't work. <br>
<br>
<br>
What did work is just removing "templatePath" from the url like this:<br>
<span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"> <DIS tabIndex="-1" id="panel" name="panel" x="-300" y="20" type="ext" url="'common/whitePanel.swf'"><![CDATA[]]></DIS><br>
</span><br>
<br>
Here's how we're loading the rlo file in our flash wrapper:<br>
<span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"> this._parent.attachMovie('Xerte', 'myRLO', 0).init('DABB.rlo', 230, 80, 1020, 640);</span><br>
<br>
<br>
In short, we've figured out a way to edit the rlo files so that they work in our wrapper but then they don't work outside of it.
<br>
<br>
Hoping there's a way to get the same file to work in both situations.<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
