[Xerte] Template Wizard - MCQ Sound on Options

Thu Oct 8 08:43:51 BST 2009

Has there been any change to the mcq.rlm file in order to support this
addition to the functionality of the mcq page template and if so would
you mind supplying a copy?

Kind regards

mind the wrap - the only new line you need is the one in bold, near the
bottom: 

<sound type="Media" label="Sound File" optional="true"/>

Nah, isn't working... but if it did, wouldn't this add a new option? I
don't want to do that, I want to have the ability to add a sound
actually within each option.

Here's what I've got at the mo anyway...

  <!--MCQ

                  </option>

    </newNodes>

  </mcq>

first on, 2 - thats the xml that is added

second, no, in the section for an option...

<option>

  <sound type="media" label="Sound" (possibly)optional="true"/>

  ...

</option>

the optional = true bit means the user will have to add it from the
optional properties combo at the top,

Thanks Jules, 

Just struggling a bit to see where you mean.... When you say add it to
the option tag, which tag do you mean?...

And when you say add it to the part of the .xwd ..... I've been adding
it inside <mcq... >  here  </mcq> is that right? 

Cheers, 

Paul

you need to add it to the option tag:

<option sound="Select a Sound"...> - this is in the newNodes section for
a question - so the xml node for the option contains the sound="blah"
bit as well.

AND add it to the part of the .xwd so that the wizard can draw the
control for it

<sound type="media" label="Sound File"/>

Hi everyone, 

I'm trying to edit the multiple choice question model in the Xerte
Template Wizard  so that depending on which option the user chooses, a
different audio file will be played. To do this I need to add the
ability to add a sound file link to each option. I think I need to add
the  <sound type="Media" label="SoundFile"/>  element somewhere in the
XML but everywhere I have tried hasn't given a result... I haven't even
managed to break it which is a first for me!

Any help would be great J

Cheers, 

Paul
