[Xerte] Interactive list

Tue Jun 8 11:45:17 BST 2010

Julie,

You need to differentiate between the Page Templates project wide template
and the Page Wizards.

The Page Templates project wide template is the original source of all the
page types.

When Julian creates a new page he creates it within this project wide
template. When you use this project wide template you cannot use page
wizards or work with your project at the basic icon level that you get by
default with Xerte. You just use the page definitions provided by the Page
Templates template and populate them by filling in each pages form.

Page wizards are derived from the Page Templates pages, but are used when
you are using Xerte at the default icon level that you are presented with
when you first open Xerte. So when Julian adds a page to Page Templates it
cannot be used as a wizard.

I try to keep up with changes to Page Templates and create new wizards for
any new page types that appear in Page Templates.

I have now completed new page wizards for the Interactive Diagram (offers
hotspots of different shapes i.e. not just rectangle) and also the
Interactive List, however I have not yet published them as I am working on a
third wizard that will be new to Xerte and wanted to release this at the
same time. Unfortunately I am still ironing out a few issues with this
template.

Hopefully I should be able to publish all three within a few days. Until
them it is probably not worth messing around trying to create your own
wizard for the Interactive List (unless you fancy the challenge :-) )

Kind regards

Johnathan
