Make sure you also have the most up to date version of template.xwd

This file holds info about all the pages that you can add from the
Insert menu of the wizard.

Hi

 

I have the relevant .rlm files for embedded and new window pages in my
XOT installation but the do not appear in the insert menu. Is there
another file(s) that I am missing and if so what ?

Hi Fay,

This looks brilliant and I can think of some powerful uses already in
terms of developing essay skills.

 

A question though - Is it possible for scroll bars to be added to the
subpages to solve the issue of  text overflowing the frame? I know
Julian has argued before about encouraging people to create bite sized
text - a view I wholeheartedly agree with - but when you take into
account the way visually impaired people may choose to enlarge the font
size using the accessibility controls it is often unpredictable as to
the point at which the LO will break. If you want to have an image in
the subpage (which you often do) the issue becomes even more
frustrating.

 

How big a job would it be for subpages to share the scrollbar behaviour
of many of the main pages?

A new template is available in the svn.

 

It's a version of the tabbed navigator which allows you to create a list
of topic links with each topic displaying a new series of tabbed pages.
Each tabbed page can also have subpages.  You can see a simple example
here: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_6580

 

The model file is called tabNavExtra.rlm and it appears as Navigators >
Tabbed Navigator + on the Insert menu.
