[Xerte-dev] noob xerte questions

[Furr A.D.]

Hello All,

I'm new to the list, and also new to xerte so please forgive my ignorance. I'm an experienced PHP developer (and flash) but don't know my way round xerte...yet.

I was after some pointers for the following, and searching the archives didn't yield much. If they've been answered elsewhere (as I'm sure they are common queries) then please point me in that direction!
So on to the questions:


1.       Enabling HTMl5 output
Is the only way to switch on HTML output to rename play_html5.php > play.php and preview_html5.php > preview.php ? Or am I missing an obvious interface.

2.       Exporting as HTML5
Currently the export  process is still as flash - I'm assuming this is coming, or if it's already there how do I switch it on?

3.       Modifying the look and feel (HTML version)
Like most institutions we'd like to customise the styles somewhat. Are there any guidelines how to do this via the templates folder? I'm proficient in CSS but would simply like to know which key DIVs I need to override to add logos / new colours for the header and footer etc of the output file

4.       Custom nav menu?
Possibly a more advanced query - is there a function to spit out nav menu of the object onto a template? For some projects we'd like to menu to stay up on all pages, and I assume this would require a custom template. I'm hoping there is a php function we can call to spit this out (<ul> list?) onto a page where required.

5.       Bookmarking individual pages
I can't see an obvious way of bookmarking an individual page within a learning object as its rendered dynamically (Ajax? JS innderDiv?) -  I'm assuming individual page bookmarking isn't possible, can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance - I'm trying to get the University of Southampton on board (mostly there) but allowing customisation would seal the deal.

Kind regards,

Alex
