</div><div><br></div><div>Sorry about the broken link, I'm not sure what has happened there. The link to the previous issue of the guide is still working and the only differences should be the descriptions of any Page Wizards that were added in the last release.

<div><br></div><div>I have recently updated the Page Wizards to incorporate some updates to the models made in the PageTemplates versions of the pages as well as an additional page. I am just waiting for some bugs with one of the PageTemplates page models to receive Julian's tender ministrations so that I can duplicate the fix into the Page Wizards. Once I have done this there will be an updated release of the Page Wizards and an update to the Documentation.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">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….</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- Taking a very simple example like "orientation =
orient" I try importing a Model to the object.</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</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">- I add some data and save the wizard, close the wizard and
I am returned to the Xerte interface</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</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 !!!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </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…</p>

tips or suggestions or pointing out my misconceptions would be very helpful :-)</span></p>
