Interested in using this for rapid prototyping. I downloaded, installed, everything seems to be working fine (templates, test center, etc…).

I have created three screens. Screen one has a button that “links” to screen 2. It seems very straightforward…the Link property is set (using the dropdown box) to the second screen name (RegistrationForm.mobi). When I execute it in the Test Center and click on the button, the iPhone emulator shakes briefly and then the spinner just sits there and screen 2 never shows up. Same issue when I tried to link between screen 2 and screen 3.

I’m sure I’m missing something…any ideas? Running Milestone-7.

Thanks!

Confession, the 1.0M7 linking mechanism is quirky and dramatically improved in the upcoming 1.0m8 (release date is tomorrow).

Try this:
1) export each of your designs as HTML to the same directory
2) from the Designer run your main design in the Test Center.
The Test Center should now be able to pick up the linked designs.

In milestone-8, when a design is exported all linked designs are automatically merged into the output HTML.

Thanks for the response…I’ll keep an eye out for M8 and give it a try.

So all linked documents are changed into html or all linked files are compiled into one html file like jqtouch and other templates that have multiple pages in the same html file?

Yes, for milestone-8 we are merging all linked designs into a single master file during export.

We are doing this to simplify animated transition between designs. M8 will introduce a basic animated flow between designs. We will be expanding transitions following M8.

Since we can generate HTML code based using various patterns we are interested in the community’s thoughts on file organization for page flow.

Ok…uninstalled M7, downloaded M8 all excited…

Opened my 3 designs (3 screens) from yesterday. They looked good, so I just exported them and then tried to run them in the Test Center. Instead of seeing my screen 1, I just see the grey striped background image. From WinExplorer, I can see the html file along with a CSS and Jscript file. When I open the html file with IE, I see the same grey striped background image and that’s about it.

I feel like I’m doing something wrong/silly. Any guesses what that might be?

Thanks!

D-Claw:

I’m working on a Quick Start doc to help out with linking. But here’s a quick note that I’ll follow up with more formal doc asap.
MobiOne 1.0M8 introduces a change to the .mobi file format to support linking in a much more efficient manner. The hitch for M7 users like yourself is to first open all linked .mobi files in the 1.0M8 designer and then save them. This will update the .mobi file with the new info to support linking. Then running a linking design in the Test Center should include all linked to designs with in it.

Let me know how this comes out?
