Hmmm... XOT. <br>
<br>
A bit more difficult, but the good news is, that all the things you
mentioned can be done without changing XMLEngine.fla<br>
<br>
Depends a bit how you want to do it. I'll explain how to CHANGE an
existing template. The easiest is the Nottingham Page Templates,
because there is an equivalent in the standalone Xerte.<br>
<br>
- Get Xerte standalone and install it on your PC<br>
- Start Xerte, and start a new Page Templates project:<br>
<img src="cid:1.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
- Choose a new directory and open the new project<br>
<img src="cid:2.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- Press play to say the current layout<br>
<img src="cid:3.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- Leave Xerte<br>
- Retrieve from your XOT installation the file in
<webroot>/modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/Nottingham.rlt<br>
- Copy it OVER the template.rlt file of the just created Xerte
project<br>
- Open Xerte standalone again (by double-clicking template.rlt) in
the folder<br>
<img src="cid:2.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- Quit the Wizard (by clicking the X)<br>
<img src="cid:4.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- First.... colours...:<br>
You can change the colours by setting optional properties such as
titleBarColour <br>
<img src="cid:5.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- You can check what you did by double clicking the First Icon<br>
<img src="cid:6.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
- and than press Play<br>
<img src="cid:7.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- Now for the logo and the position of the buttons etc...<br>
- Leave the Wizard and click on the tree structure and select the
setup icon<br>
<img src="cid:8.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
- Click on Script<br>
<img src="cid:9.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
<img src="cid:10.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- In this script you can move the buttons around and switch on and
off the list boxes and load a new default logo or banner<br>
You do this right below the first if statement (or if the template
is older, below the loadIcon line)<br>
<img src="cid:11.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
rootIcon.loadIcon(FileLocation +
'media/banner_sheet_transparant_cr.png');<br>
_level0.engine.IFC.themes._visible = false;<br>
_level0.engine.IFC.fonts._visible = false;<br>
_level0.engine.IFC.access._visible = false;<br>
_level0.engine.IFC.sizes._x = 10;<br>
_level0.engine.IFC.txtSize._x = 120;<br>
<br>
Also a bit further down in this script all buttons are disabled by <br>
rootIcon.hideControls(); <br>
and several are enabled again on a different position.<br>
<br>
rootIcon.tocBtn._y = 550;<br>
rootIcon.nextBtn._y = 550;<br>
rootIcon.backBtn._y = 550;<br>
rootIcon.progress._y = 550;<br>
rootIcon.contButton._visible = false;<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:12.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- We added a banner (any logo wider than 200 pixels is placed in the
upper left corner like a banner), so if you create a semi
transparent png of 800x68, you can get some interesting effects!<br>
- Make sure you have the file mentioned in the loadIcon in the media
folder!!<br>
<br>
- Check the results by double clicking the top left icon and
pressing play to preview<br>
<br>
<img src="cid:13.1657521560@web161201.mail.bf1.yahoo.com" alt=""><br>
<br>
- Now save and leave Xerte.<br>
<br>
It is VERY important NOT to add ANY pages, because these will end in
the template!!!<br>
<br>
Than:<br>
- copy template.rlt back over
<webroot>/modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/Nottingham.rlt<br>
- copy any media file into
<webroot>/modules/xerte/parent/Nottingham/media<br>
<br>
<br>
That should do the trick!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Tom<br>

Subject: [Xerte] Customizing XOT Projects
Hi everyone and thanks in advance.
We're trying to customize "the look" of scorm packages built from XOT.
We want to change how learning objects are shown: change logo, move buttons (forward, backward, etc.) to the bottom of the screen, hide all dropdown lists at the bottom of the screen, etc.
We're take a look to "XMLEngine.fla" file, but we're not sure if we're in the right path. When we open the "XMLEngine.fla" with Adobe Flash, it shows a grayed rectangle with a lot of code. We just want to "drag and drop" elements of the screen to new positions.
Attached to this message, we send an image of an example how much we want to change the "skin" of the learning objects.
Any "step-by-step" guide to change this "look"?
After changing the "look", we want to translate to spanish the XOT ... but this is another history.
Thanks a lot again.
José.
