[Xerte] Re: Embedding Webpage in the learning object

[Dave Burnett]

If you do end up using a popup:

====================== from archives/Julian
You need to modify rloObject.js and add your functions to the bottom of
it like this:

function myFunction(arg){
  alert('I am a function and my argument is ' + arg);
}
=========================


So you put your window call in the .js file, then tell it to do what you want:  

function openWindow(arg){
  new_window = window.open('the_wall_url','studentstuff', 'toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,dependent,status,width=200,height=200,left=10,top=10')
}


Then you can call the function from Xerte using getURL:
getURL('javascript:openWindow(the_wall_url);');The URL is passed as the argument
Then you can reuse that function/window to load any URL.

The main idea is: Xerte learning object is published online… And  on one of Xerte pages there is a question  and under it I would like students to see what their peers have replied on this question…  (I know it’s a bit utopic… but would be so great). So I thought to embed there a forum page which is hosted somewhere else or a Facebook wall … where they reply. They might go somewhere else to post answers… but it would be nice if they could see replies embedded on that Xerte page… So something similar to that  - … http://www.neosmart.de/social-media/facebook-wall  embedded in Xerte page would make me the most happier person on this planet…  Popup is an option… but I can’t make a popup window to open with the specific height and width from Xerte interface.If anyone tackled such problems I will really appreciate if you will let me know possible solutions.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Embedding Webpage in the learning object It depends on what page and what content. It handles Wikipedia as it has very basic formatting. You can use APIs to access google and facebook. From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Subject: [Xerte] Embedding Webpage in the learning objectDear all, I am just wondering if… I know that Xerte allows to embed YouTube feed, Google map, Wikipedia article inside learning object. But is it possible to embed something custom, let’s say another webpage… something as iframe in html web page? For example … just Google’s search engine or maybe Facebook’s wall, any other custom webpage? Or the popup is the only solution for custom webpages? Sorry if repeated.  Kindest RegardsMatthew
