[Xerte-dev] Re: XWDs

[Fay Cross]

Hello Johnathan!

Thanks for your reply – I think I’ll fix the bug that’s causing it to break links, in case this is a problem in any existing projects, and then remove the option of adding it from now on.

Hope you’re ok, people were asking for a HTML version of your scenario page at the conference a few weeks ago! ☺

It's nice to know I can still be useful occasionally :-)

The page ID optional property was added to pages so that connector pages could work in standalone flash based xerte projects which did not use template.xwd and hence could not access pages to link to from a drop down menu.

Unless someone has come up with another use for them since the move to html5 I would expect them to be redundant.

Its lovely to see how Xerte continues to go from strength to strength.

Kind regards

Johnathan

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

Subject: XWDs

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)
