[Xerte] Re: question re inserting quiz.rlm into desktop xerte

[Julian Tenney]

You can use the media -> Xerte content page to upload a model (a page,saved as a model) of your own custom logic. It is not data driven though, so you write the code, load it up and it runs. It's a good way of supplementing a toolktis piece with custom interactivity.

If you did want to upload a data driven model, then it can, of course, load data itself and do stuff with it, either from an xml file, or from a  http request,

Ron,

- You can start the wizard interface again by double-clicking on the toplevel page wizard icon (the one with the circle)
- You have to keep them as they are
- Correct. But I am not even sure whether you can import any 'normal' xerte flowline.

Hello Julian:

Yes, thanks, that's helpful.

>From my understanding, I think if there was a way to open the templates from totally outside the desktop version that would be more intuitive, because I think that's really launching you into a totally different application and shutting down the desktop version.

The wizards however, I think are ideal where they are. A couple more questions re wizards if you don't mind -


When I'm done with the wizard, and when its plugged its code into the desktop flowline...is there a way to edit that page using the wizard interface after that? Or is it a one time thing - you build your wizard once and it gets plugged into the flowline....any changes require building it from scratch again?  I tried opening the folder with the related files to edit the wizard but that didn't work.



Once built, are the sub-folders that house the wizard files needed any longer (for packing purposes or ?) or can they be deleted?



I believe I read somewhere that wizard code can't be saved as a model and imported into a toolkits piece. Is that correct? My understanding is I can package any desktop flowline icons into a model and then import that into online toolkits via the 'import xerte' (I think that's what its called) menu selection...but not anything that contains wizard pages identified with the small circle in the flowline. Am I correct on that?

Thanks

Think like AW's KOs.

Some are application level - for example the page templates template, which is the same thing as the Xerte Online Toolkit in Toolkit (maybe we should change Page templates to Xerte Online Toolkit in standalone xerte). The entire application is constructed using the wizard. The end user does not interact with the flow line at all.

Some are page level. You can mix them up with your own custom code, thanks to Jonathan's work.

In all cases the wizard is used to edit the xml that the template uses.

The template's logic is implemented in a model. Think like AWs models, a chunk of flow line that does a particular thing. In this case they are data-driven by the xml edited in the wizard.

I guess a temple comprises a wizard, some data and a model.
