[Xerte] Make custom template toolkits ready

Wed Mar 11 15:20:17 GMT 2009

Thanks for everyone's help. I haven't found out what the problem is or
how to solve it, but have discovered that it works fine from
www.nottingham.ac.uk rather than ltdev.nottingham.ac.uk. 

We'll have to see what happens on your own servers and take it from
there. If you want to test it, all the latest files are in the
repository on assembla. You will need to update XMLEngine.swf in the
root of your install, and the files in the
modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham folder. Get those files from
the toolkits09 folder in the svn if you have a server installation of
toolkits.

I've also updated the Page Templates standalone version in the latest
xerte build from the website, so if you are building using the
standalone version you can also test it.

Obviously these changes will change the way google map pages work,
although existing standalone projects won't be affected unless you
update their files. I think all in all it's an improvement as authoring
the map is much easier than it was.

Thanks,

J

Give this one a whirl for me ...

thanks for the info, I replaced all paths. 

Have you tried component-icons in toolkits? I now loaded the same .swf
file using a graphic icon and it displays fine. If I use the same path
in a component icon nothing shows up on toolkits.

________________________________

You need to distinquish between template path and FileLocation when
running in toolkits, as the two locations are different. 

FileLocation is the folder where the xml file is; templatePath is the
folder where the rlt is. 

Locally, the two are the same.

so things are getting better now. My custom interface loads and is
displayed in the preview. The only problem is now, that my custom made
nodes don't show up properly. E.g. I made a
select-and-drag-and-drop-text node which mainly loads an external flash
file using a component icon. It shows up fine in the local wizard. 
Pre-built nodes (from the nottingham.rlt) show up properly.

You mean to say that everyting works fine until you come to hit preview
and then nothing happens? What happens if you click play in the wizard?
Does that one work OK?

Hi List, 

I created my own template, based on the nottingham template (not the
latest version, what a pitty). It works fine in the local Xerte editor.
It also works in toolkits, but no preview is shown. By the way: I use my
own visuals. Than I did the following to make it toolkits ready: 

- added an entry to the table originaltemplatesdetails, mainly with the
same settings as the other two entries 
- created a new folder in modules - xerte - parent_templates called ICAR

- added some entries to the learningObject of my ICAR.rlt:
TargetFolder=ICAR, Description=Description of my template, version =0.9 
- copied the content of my local template folder: ICAR.rlt, data.xwd,
common, thumbs 
- duplicated the Nottingham folder under modules - xerte - templates and
renamed it to ICAR 
- created a new project based on the ICAR template 

So, what did I miss? 

How can I debug it?
