[Xerte-dev] Re: Searching inside a published object

[Julian Tenney]

Xenith.js does the common work, and the models contain the logic for the page templates: they have javascript, css and html in them, and basically get loaded, and the xml for that page is passed to them to process and create the content.

The bootstrap template is powered by application.js in modules\site\parent_templates\site\common\js. There’s not much to that really.

Thanks Julian,

I've found xenith.js in the Nottingham template. Where would I find it for the Bootstrap template? Or am I misunderstanding how the templates work?

I can't find any documentation about how XOT is structured from a code perspective? Does that exist yet?

Cheers,

Mark

OK. That makes sense. I'm looking at a previewed object now. Where will I find the XML?

Once the piece has loaded you’ve got the XML, and can run over it with JQuery easily. Doing the search is easy, doing the next bits is a bit more difficult

Hi Julian,



That's exactly what I'm expecting.



I thought PHP would be necessary, because somewhere you'd have to build an index file containing text and relevant page links. This index file would be created at the point of publishing and stored with the learning object. At that point you can start using Javascript in the browser to traverse the index when the form is submitted.



Javascript can't spider across all the pages can it? Unless you're using node.js on the server?

This would be JavaScript / JQuery. It could work like this:



Show a find dialog;

User enters phrase, hits ‘find’

Then what? You get a list of pages where the text was found?

Click on each page to go there and the phrases are highlighted?

Oh, I wish…



I'll look into it, but don't hold your breath… I'm just above beginner stage when it comes to PHP!

Hi there,



As a learner, I would like to be able to search inside the learning objects that Xerte produces.



Is it possible to index the textual elements of the XML that produces a Xerte object? A bit like Zoomsearch (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/)



Thanks,



Mark
