[Xerte] RE: Objects disappearing from interface

[Kemp Johnathan]

If you are interested in building your own pages in Xerete you might like to
download and take a look at the page wizards. For details see the page
wizards page in the Xerte wiki.

When you create a page using a page wizard the model file for the page is
loaded into Xerte so you are able to see how the page is constructed. This
can be a great way of learning how to code in Xerte.

When you want to create a new page, pick a page wizard that does something
similar to what you want to achieve and you can use that as a foundation for
your own page.

You can also mix pages created from page wizards with your own bespoke pages
in the same Xerte project, thus reducing your development time.

Kind regards

Johnathan
