As you are working in Xerte 2.18 all the files you need are already
available in your Xerte installation.

Based on your recent email to me it is clear that your understanding of how
to create a template in Xerte is based on the Xerte help files listing the
7 stages for creating a template. This help predates a lot of development
work that has taken place in Xerte. It makes no reference to .rlm files.

.rlm files can be used to contain the structure of a single page, when
matched to a .xwd file that defines the data input form for that page you
have a complete definition for a page type in Xerte.

If what you want to achieve is to define a new page type that you can use
in Xerte along with all the other page types then the simplest way of
achieving it is to create a .rlm and .xwd file for the new page type.

The .rlm file goes in C:\xerte\pages\models
The .xwd file is placed in C:\xerte\pages\wizards\en-GB

There is even a php script in the Xerte installation that will add this new
page type to the template.xwd file so that you can use it in projects that
offer the author an interface similar to Xerte Online Toolkits.

These two files can most easily be created in the pages type project
environment as indicated in the document I sent to you in my last email.
Trust me this is based on my personal experience of creating all the
connector page types, plus the Inventory and Scenario pages. If you want to
go down that route I can help you with any queries you have as there is
little documentation available.

Once you have created the files and updated the template.xwd file then you
can easily create a .xtp file that can be placed in other Xerte
installations by doing the following

1) open the Xerte installation in which you have saved your new .rlm and
.xwd files.
2) Do Pages / Create Template Project From Pages - follow the instructions
to create the project and make a note of the folder you create it in.
3) In File Manager go to that folder where you will find a number of
folders including a template.rlt file, template.xml file and template.xwd
file
4)  Select the contents of this folder and send them to a compressed folder
to create a zip file.
5) Change the zip files .zip extension to .xtp
6) Copy the .xtp file to any Xerte installation's  c:\xerte\wizards folder
then when you next open Xerte you will see listed under the Templates menu
your new template.

Just to be clear
The structure of the chart page is in chart.rlm (you can find it in
C:\xerte\pages\models)
The form for the chart page is in chart.xwd (you can find it in
C:\xerte\pages\wizards\en-GB)
There is no chart.xlm file

Kind regards

Johnathan
