It seems that what you're looking for is Jonathan Kemps' excellent Page
Wizards. They allow template based creation of pages (page by page )
and Xerte level tweeking afterwards.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've used Xerte templates before to create some
really good
materials. However, I'm trying to move onto creating some bespoke
materials and
I seem to be coming unstuck…. I've tried two approachs as follows….<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) Once I've created a Learning Object using the
templates
I'm unable to open the final learning object XML in Xerte editor (as
opposed to
the template wizard), doing this would allow me to make small tweaks to
the
layout and presentation of page and additional media etc. Is this
supposed to
be possible - or is it too tied in with the templates?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Taking the other approach I create a very
simple page-based
learning object in the Xerte editor (manually so to speak). Then I
think I'd
like to add one of the interactions that the templates already do so
well.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Taking a very simple example like "orientation
=
orient" I try importing a Model to the object.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The model imports and I'm able to launch a
wizard
specifically interaction by double-clicking the top-icon for the
interaction<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- I add some data and save the wizard, close the
wizard and
I am returned to the Xerte interface<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- The data seems to been saved as a separate XML
file
_orient rather than in the XML of the object I'm working on<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- When I preview / publish the object a page is
created for
the "model" bu not content is loaded into the final output !!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This means I'm stuck moving beyond the template
prescribed content
OR forced to code very simple object and manually re-create all the
interactions I need which were in the templates… which isn't worth me
doing…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Any
help,
tips or suggestions or pointing out my misconceptions would be very
helpful :-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kind
Regards,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
