[Xerte-dev] Re: Additional links for a template

[Pat @ Pgogy]

I think logically we have one play URL for each module

Then the play code is passed a second variable

So in non htaccess play.php?template_id=1&type=html5

So this way any module developer can increase play options without URL library changing?

This seems clean to me?
