[Xerte] Re: Creating new template question

[Dave Burnett]

Thanks Johnathan.
I just opened a new file in Xerte and then inserted the drag/drop .rlm I am trying to alter.
so I added the templateData path in the LO and then used just   
  pageIcon.templateData = extXML.toObject();  pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.learningObject[0];
to get the data loaded.
Why am I using learningObject and you are using pageWizardI thought you had deprecated pageWizard.

You are using an old model file probably from a page wizard.
The new model files use
pageIcon = icon.parentNode.clip();

if (rootIcon.projMode == "dev"){ 

  // Page Wizard
  pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject();
  pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0];
} else {
  // Toolkits
  myXML = new XML(extXML.firstChild.childNodes[rootIcon.getPageIndex() - pgOffset]);

  pageIcon.templateData = myXML.toObject();

}
A setup script off the entryFrame of a "pages" type project sets 
rootIcon.projMode = "dev";

This ensures the model file behaves correctly for a desktop Xerte project. This value is not set in XOT projects which enables the same model file to be used in both Xerte and XOT. The idea being that people will be able to develop new page types in Xerte and then transfer them to a XOT environment.

Refer back to my other reply for an idea of how I approach the creation of a new page. Even if you don't follow the same steps it should guide you as to what else you need to do.

Kind regards
Johnathan

I'm playing with the new 2.18 version (Thanks to Johnathan and all!).
I've made a new template and can load it onto the flowline.
Now I want to alter the underlying model and to do that I need to get test data into it.

So I open a new file and insert the .rlm from the models file.
In the first script icon of the .rlm we have:
if (extXML == undefined){
  // Page Wizard  pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.extXML.toObject();  pageIcon.templateData = pageIcon.templateData.pageWizard[0];

Am I missing something, e.g. if extXML is undefined, won't pageIcon.extXML also be undefined?

What I need to do obviously is get data into pageIcon.templateData in order to get the model to function.

Cheers,Dave
