Guidance Explorer Authoring Toolkit

NEW POST: Customizing the Guidance Explorer web edition

mjt_daues — Fri, 16 May 2008 09:22:20 GMT

I have downloaded GuidanceExplorerOnline Solution source code. I want to make the customized my own topics within the library.

I have created custom library topics from thick client and pasted these into the web edition "Library" directory.

Now i am able to view the files topics fine in thick client. But in the web edition, its loading the section names in the tree view on left side. But not displaying the articles on right side.

It is giving the error message like "Column 'filePath' does not belong to table Data. "

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Column 'filePath' does not belong to table Data.

Source Error:


            Line 103:            foreach (string name in gifr.CustomData)
Line 104:            {
Line 105: if (row[name] != null)Line 106:                    row[name] = gifr.CustomData[name];
Line 107:            }

When i debugged in the coding, I found when ModelStorageService loaded the xml files from the "Library" folder. When it is loaded, It has the items which has the list of all the topics.
Interesting point is the newly coped topics columns are having the new column as "filepath". But other topics which are existing already does not have this column.
When loading the "name" (line no 105 above code) of value "file path" ie name=filepath and tries to store it in the row [source.Data.AddDataRow(row);]. But it is failing here.

Can any one shed light on this and suggest how we can have customed topic xmls, that can be deployed in the library folder can be available in the guidance web edtion online.

Thanks.
