[Xerte-dev] Re: page linking via html5 playback

[Kemp Johnathan]

You will probably find that in historic navigation everything works OK as
there is no menu page.

If you look at the code in the makePages script (the first child of the
learning object in a pageTemplates project and presumably a XOT project)
there is code that sets a value for pgOffset. pgOffset gets a value of 2 if
there is a menu and 1 otherwise - to allow for the automatically generated
menu page.

I use this value in the connector pages to calculate an offset for when
menu navigation is used.

If I recall correctly there is a method to get the page index but this does
not recognise the presence of the menu page but rootIcon.gotoPage does know
about the menu page

so if you have navigation = menu on your learning object, and a project
that has a title page, followed by a summary page

The method to get the page index returns 0 for the Title page and 1 for the
summary page, but gotoPage(0) takes you to the menu page and gotoPage(1)
takes you to the title page.

Kind regards

Johnathan
