[Xerte] Re: Xerte 2: New Window page

[Ron Mitchell]

I like the new window page and added a 'new page types' page linking to this
updated copy of the 560 example http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_23

Get the files from the svn: I did some work on NewWindow last week - those
issues might remain, but  check the latest version of the files.

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte 2: New Window page

 

This morning I down loaded the latest version of Xerte 2.16 to obtain the
missing New Window and Bleeding Image model files.

 

I have been trying to get the new window to work but there are a few issues.

 

Line 8 reads

 

if (pageIcon.templateData.textGraphics[0].url.indexOf('http') == 0){

 

So I changed that to reference
pageIcon.templateData.newWindow[0].url.indexOf('http') 

 

Then the next few lines confused me.

 

if (pageIcon.templateData.newWindow[0].url.indexOf('http') == 0){
previewImage = "'" + pageIcon.templateData.newWindow[0].previewImage + "'";
} else {
previewImage = pageIcon.templateData.newWindow[0].previewImage;
}

 

If I add a url to the xwd form then the if condition is true and
previewImage is set to have ' wrapped around it, in which case no image is
displayed, so nothing to click on.

 

If I remove the url from the xwd form then the image is displayed but after
a few exiting the preview and returning to the preview, the preview stalls
with a loading xml message.

 

It seems that you need the ' wrapping to stop the page breaking but then the
image value is not recognised as a valid url by the image icon.

 

Any ideas?

 

Kind regards

 

Johnathan
