[Xerte] Re: linking internally

[Catherall, Paul]

yes that works but unfortunately it opens the template page in a new window, so the navigation proliferates windows, doesn’t look like there’s a way to force the target to self from that thumbnail  URL...

e.g. http://xertetest.liv.ac.uk/play.php?template_id=552&page=3

many thanks

Ah can't remember exactly when John added that functionality but once it's in place you should see the following:

Then
[cid:image002.jpg at 01CE7F29.21D44830]

But what should work in the version you have even without the resume functionaility is appending &page=3 and &page=4 etc to the public LO url.
So try http:// yourlolink&page=3 does that work? If so you could adjust that for each thumb url

That might not work in the thumnail viewer because I think the url field there is just looking for a http address.
However on the learning object properties enable the optional resume property. Then each page will have #1 #2 etc to deep link to those pages. You could then add a relevant link to each thumbnail. It will reload the LO each time but perhaps that doesn't matter?

So if I end up with a URL like

asfunction:_level0.engine.rootIcon.pageLink,PG1373635031616

generated by clicking “page link” this works when using something like

<a href="asfunction:_level0.engine.rootIcon.pageLink,PG1373635031616">test</a>

...in a text arra...

however if I add

asfunction:_level0.engine.rootIcon.pageLink,PG1373635031616


..to the URL field in “thumbnail viewer” template I get

[cid:image003.jpg at 01CE7F29.21D44830]

I’m assuming I need the full argument/path before the function?

thanks

Paul

What version are you using?
Right click in a text area and select Page Link you'll see a more reliable option for linking between pages.

Hi

quick question, hopefully not duplicating an existing discussion…



Does anyone know if the path has changed in Xenith for linking internally, e.g.



<a href="asfunction:_level0.pageLink,2">ok</a>



this results in a the following for me:



thanks

paul
