Custom Canvas output on Opinion page? was created by rightsideup
Could anybody give me any pointers as to how I would customise the Canvas outut diagram on the opinion page type?

For instance, on the above, rather than the 10-100 scale, to use a disagree - agree type scale. I'd also like to be able to customise the size of the 'Question 1' etc titles.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Hi,

You really have two options:

Either you would need to make changes (the easier way) to this file ( github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlineto...s_html5/opinion.html ) and drop it into place inside your install in the correct place, /modules/xerte/parent_templates/Nottingham/models_html5/

Or you would need to add javascript to modify the page type in situ in an unaltered installation - this would be a LOT HARDER but if you are very good with JS then it is definitely possible

Either way though would require quite a bit of rewrite or code addition to do what you wish...

Regards,

John

Thanks for the pointers John, I think I'm going to try and make a new page type using the Opinion one as a starter and following your advice - my JavaScript is not up to the other option!
