Subject: Modular Play and New Templates Question for Pat I think: With the html5 playout, Fay has added play_html5.php that does the work, that’s all fine. I’ve got a new template I’d like to build in that produces this stuff:http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczjrt/boostrapLO. The editor is a standard xerte wizard / xwd thing, but it uses its own html page to parse the xml and create the content. So I could add another html page to the folder and repeat what Fay has done for html5, but that seems a bit messy to sustain if, one day, we have loads of runtimes doing different things, I wondered if your modular stuff handled this in a more graceful way? There’s another difference here: Fay’s html5 code plays existing content – so you have two alternative urls for the same piece, ultimately we’ll switch toolkits to use the html5 one as the default, and the old one will remain as a legacy. In my case, it doesn’t work like that, these projects will always only use their html page: so that needs to be the url to display in properties for the project, and I guess that’s what needs to export as well. What do you think is the best thing to do? Julian
