[Xerte-dev] Re: what happened to the add pdf option in the site template?

[Fay Cross]

I'm not sure if this is related to why the changes were lost but I've just noticed that now the pdf has been added back in it's in the wrong xwd file so still isn't working.

modules/site/parent_templates/site/data.xwd has been edited but it should have been the one in the wizard folder too (modules/site/parent_templates/site/wizards/en-GB/data.xwd). It's xwds in the wizard folder that are used by default and it falls back to the one in site folder when the requested language folder isn't found. I'll rebuild the xwd now as this will automatically update the correct xwd file.

By the way, it looks like the fall back xwd isn't up to date with the wizard folder in other changes too (not just with the pdf). Ideally we should try to keep the fall back one up to date whenever we rebuild the xwds. It is a pain to remember though (I often forget) as it doesn't do it automatically when rebuilding so you have to manually copy and paste it.

>>My understanding is that if we make any changes to an xwd then even if we do that direct first for ease of testing we then need to repeat those changes in the src folders and run the relevant bat so the change is contained everywhere - is that correct? Is that the reason the changes go lost somehow?

Yes, my understanding too, it's just easy to be working on the live xwds and forget to push the updates into /src.

Anyway, it's an easy fix at the end of the day.

Yeah I worked that out and did a temporary fix on the installation where it was reported but putting in an xwd that did still have the options.

It's simply that they are missing from the .xwd file: support still exists in the application.js for PDF. I've added them to the xwd files, but haven't built them, not sure whether the batch file runs all .xwd builds or not (have only used it for the main template...). it's possible I added them to a data.xwd that has then been supersceded when the bat ran and didn't pick up the new items in the src xwds?

It's the one you added to the bootstrap template and then was also fixed for ipad compatibility. It's been there and working but in the current v3 code it's not showing as an option in the bootstrap template. I can't remember if you ever added it as an optional property for the navigators too?

I haven't had time to investigate properly but will try to do so tomorrow.

Is it the option to add pdfs generally, or the one we put in recently, for navigators?

Hi all
was just made aware that the add pdf option in the site template wasn't showing anymore? Haven't had time to look at the commits but have verified that it's not showing with the latest code. Anyone know why?
Cheers
Ron
