[Xerte-dev] Re: XWDs

Kind of related to this... does anyone know what the Page ID optional property on all pages is used for now? Is it a legacy thing that was used before we had the drop down menus to use in connector pages? Can we get rid of it for new projects?

All I can see that it does now is break the way page links added through wysiwyg 'Xerte Page Link' button work. See this example: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_14852

Info for anyone who might make create new pages...

I've uploaded to develop a few changes to the way the XWD files are built. There's now a file called 'basicPages.xwd' with the other XWDs in the src folder that contains the properties that every page has (Narration, Navigation Buttons etc.). Previously these were duplicated in every individual XWD file, so I've deleted them from them too. These properties are copied into each page node when you rebuild the XWD.

It'll now be much easier to make changes to these properties and add new ones as you only have to do it in one file (there's a new one there already called 'hide pages' that does the turning off pages thing that we spoke about on the developer day)
