If I recall correctly the title of the posting included the words "proof of concept". A url could end with ?pageID=bullet and when the project opened in the browser the project opened at the page with a pageID of "bullet".<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>One problem I hit was that when working with .rlo projects the list of pages is not completed until the first page is displayed, so I had to build in a delay so that what happened in practice was that the title page was displayed briefly then once the timer had run to allow time for the array of pages to have been built the diversion to the specified page could take place. This should not be an issue if using pageTemplates type projects since the array of pages is available before the first page loads.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I can't find the example I posted to the list, but I have an old work in progress project that still demonstrates how it worked.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>The key to how it works is some additional javascript code in rloObject.js which provides a getUrlParam() function and some code in the .rlo file to call the javascript. rloObject.js is found in the xerte\publish\html\ folder.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I have just tested it in Opera and Firefox and it works OK but it throws an error in IE 10 so the getUrlParam() needs work to enable it to do something different in IE in order to capture the parameter.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>If you think it might be of help I could email you a copy.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>There may be others on the list who have done more recent work on "deep linking"<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Kind regards<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Johnathan<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 20 November 2013 18:33, KnowledgeWare <<a href="mailto:knowledgeware@kccsoft.com" target="_blank">knowledgeware@kccsoft.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-ZW style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Just wondering what the future plan is for xerte (Flash) desktop… is there expected to be any further releases or is all the effort going into XOT?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-ZW style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-ZW style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Also regarding the current desktop version – is there any reason I could not ‘deeplink’ into it – send the user a URL link that would take them to a specific page?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-ZW style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-ZW style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thanks</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-ZW style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>RonM2</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
