[Xerte] Re: plain text connector page problem in XOT

[Davidson, Andrew]

Thanks Johnathan - very helpful. Yes, it was a very simple solution - Dave showed me that I wasn't inserting a page id where it was needed. Makes sense now but in the instruction I only could see about copying and pasting text with the page id - anyway, it's a great addition for Xerte Online Toolkits and I wonder if it will be possible to add this function to other page types in XOT such as a page with graphics and text or a page with video and text.

Best

Andy

You have two ways to use the Page Models in Xerte 2.18 desktop. I hope that soon we will be able to improve the File / New menu so that all the options for creating a the different project types are listed there. However currently...

If you want a page templates type project i.e. a toolkits style project then do
  Pages / Create Template Project from Pages.

Add pages in the same way as normal for Page Templates or XOT projects.

If you want to use the new Pages type project that gives full access to the page models and also the editing environment then do

Pages / Create New Page Project

Add pages by selecting the "Interface" element in the project tree and then select the page type that you want to add from the range of page type folders that you will find off the Pages Menu.

As to how to duplicate the problem that Andrew is experiencing, I am not sure since I am not sure what the cause of the problem is. It may be as simple as not having specified a page ID for the destination page.

Kind regards

Johnathan

The link to your project is not much help as I can't access the values you have entered into the form for the page.

If you take a look at the learning object you should find it has an optional property of "Add Author Support". Add this attribute to your learning object and ensure the check box is ticked. Then play your project once more and try your hyperlink. You should see a message displayed "Page ID: somePageID could not be found in this project"

Where "somePageID" will be the pageID you have specified in your link.

Then check the destination page to ensure that you have given it an optional attribute of "Page ID" and that you have set the Page ID attribute to the value you have used in your link.

That should sort it.

Kind regards

Johnathan

Hi

I am trying to use the plain text connector page in XOT but for some reason I can't get the link to work - http://xerte.warwick.ac.uk/play_116

Thanks.
