[Xerte] Button to navigate to new page

[Johnathan Kemp]

Just to add to your ideas here.
 
If you use a page's index number in a script this could change later on
if you add pages to the project, ahead of that page.
 
However you could identify the page you want to go to by its name, which
would not change even if extra pages were added or the page moved.
 
myPageName = "Something wonderful";
myPageXML = rootIcon.XMLElement.getChildByName(myPageName);
myPageIndex = myPageXML.index();
rootIcon.gotoPage(myPageIndex);
 
Hope this helps
 
Kind regards
 
Johnathan

Hi Stefan,

If you purpose is to navigate to different pages at a click of a button,
it is very simple.  

1.  create a button

2.  add script icon to that

3.  inside the script just say rootIcon.

        prevPage() - to go to previous page

        nextPage() - to go to next page

        lastPage() - to last page

        firstPage() - to fist page

        gotoPage(pagenumber - 1) to navigate to particular page

If you put this as part of entry frame then these buttons would be
available for all the pages.

Regards,

Sreeram C A

Hi there

I can read and understand html and xml programming, but not write the 

xml from scratch. I am using the Xerte standalone template to build 

e-lessons.

Can someone please explain to me how to add buttons (or clickable icon) 

to a page in Xerte and use html to link to another page?  I would like 

to make the lesson flow non-linear. I realize that working with the 

template might make this much more difficult, but then I'll learn and 

confirm that as a consequence.

I've been following the discussion list and I've read that it is 

possible to access pages with an <a href> tag based on the page title.

What would really help is a walkthrough document. I'm willing to make 

such and contribute to the knowledge base if someone could assist me.

Thank you

Stefan
