[Xerte-dev] Re: Stilla bit confused about how to add new properties

[Smith, John]

HI Julian

I think if more was made of the fact that XOT can almost be a stand alone application using XAMPP then there would be no need for Xerte. When I first started looking at Xerte I went for the executable simply because I thought that setting up a server, configuring mysql etc would just be too much hassle to test it when in actual fact installing XOT using XAMPP is arguably just as fast...

Subject: [Xerte-dev] Stilla bit confused about how to add new properties

Hi,

I'm still not entirely clear on how I best add a new optional property to a number of models in the xwd files. In the past I would have added them to the big xwd file, but I am not sure how I add them to small .xwd files and then create the big one.

Second related question: is there any point trying to maintain this link between xerte and toolkits? This is a good example of something taking me longer to do because of the backward compatibility than it needs to.
