[Building Sakai] Skin Selector in Test and Quizzes

[Paul Lukasewych]

Thanks Phil. Stock Sakai doesn't seem to have that file in the skin folders.

Does anyone on the list know how to do this for the standard release?

Hi Paul,
 
NPS uses the rSmart version of Sakai. The skin files on our server are located in the 
webapps/library/skin/ folder. There is a portal.xslt file in each of the skin folders.

Hi Phil,

I'm just starting to work on this now and I'm having trouble locating the portal.xslt file 
you are referring to. Which project is it in? Is the NPS source code available anywhere I 
could look at?

Thanks,

Hi Paul,
 
For the math skin, we used the portal.xslt file to include MathJax only on the Tests  & 
Quizzes pages. The Sakai headscripts.js makes an optional call to postIframeResize() if 
the method exists in the parent. So we used that callback to put the MathJax script 
into the quiz iframe each time it loads a page. It does have to scan the entire page for 
Latex tokens, so only classes that use a lot of complex Math use this skin. 
 
The area we changed in the portal.xslt is inside of
<xsl:template name="tool">
                …
                <div class="portletMainWrap">
<xsl:choose>
                …
</ xsl:choose>
                                                The following xslt/JavaScript code was put here.               
                                                
Here is the code we added:
                <!— Check for the Test & Quizzes tool -->
                <xsl:if test="contains($tool/toolHelp, 'samigo')">
                <!— Add a hidden input for the mainframe's id so scripts can point at it -->
                <input type="hidden"   id="mainFrameId">
                                <xsl:attribute name="value">
                                                <xsl:value-of select="$tool/escapedId"/>
                                </xsl:attribute>            
                </input>
 
                <script type="text/javascript">
                // <![CDATA[
                var mainFrameID = document.getElementById("mainFrameId").value;
                var mathJaxLocation = "/library/js";
                
                //headscripts.js calls the postIframeResize method after resizing finishes
                function postIframeResize() {
                                var script = 
document.getElementById(mainFrameID).contentWindow.document.createElement("
script");
                                script.type = "text/javascript";
                                script.src = mathJaxLocation + 
"/MathJax/MathJax.js?config=default";   // use the location of your MathJax folder
                                var config = 'MathJax.Hub.Startup.onload();';
 
                                if (window.opera) {
                                                script.innerHTML = config;
                                } else {
                                                script.text = config;                                                                         
                                }
                                                                                                
document.getElementById(mainFrameID).contentWindow.document.getElementsByT
agName("head")[0].appendChild(script);
                }                                              
                //]]>
 
                </script>
                </xsl:if>
 
 
Hope that helps,
Phil
