[Xerte] Re: Bug in navigator plus template?

[Fay Cross]

Thanks for letting me know about these - I had to change the structure of things slightly, looking back a couple of things were done strangely!  Updated model has been uploaded to repository and is also attached.  Let me know if you find anything else in your testing Johnathan.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: Bug in navigator plus template?

There may be another bug in the page.

I have just been updating the new model with the changes made last Friday and during the testing of the page I found that if you create a Tab Navigator plus page and add a graphic to the first tab in the first topic and then preview the page you get the page displaying at the bottom of a lengthened window with a white panel above displaying the message "loading xml". I don't think this is caused by the new changes as I also tried my earlier version of the model which lacks the Friday changes. Just to be sure I have used both my version of the Model file in an individual page template project and built a page template project using the current files from the svn.

An unusual effect I found was that if you create a page with an image on the first tab of the first topic then the problem occurs. However if you precede that page with another tab nav + page and do not add a graphic to the first tab of the first topic then not only will this page load and display correctly, but the following page that had been causing a problem will now also load correctly.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hi all
Just responding to a query from a friend - it seems that the layout of subsequent sub pages is dependent on the first page encountered:
See http://itq.jisctechdis.ac.uk/xerte/play_51

Click Billhook, Polesaw and Protective clothing in turn and you'll see a page with text only, image added via html and image added via Navigator option.
Then click back to Billhook. There will be a big white space before the text as if the text has moved down to fit a phantom image.

I've adjusted the order and the pattern remains - the text displays at the top of the page UNTIL an image added through optional properties is encountered. From that point on the panels have a phantom image.

Anyone know how to fix?
