This guide assumes that you are building a TM on your local workstation (PC)
and then install (upload) it to the server.
- The first step is to create a directory (on your workstation),
and naming it accordingly to what the module topic is about
(such as percentages). This is like a chapter title in a book.
Here is a simple TM containing 3 TLPs.
You may downloade this and unzip it as a starting point.
-
Using the TM index page template, create a new file called index.php. You may define the $_WME_PAGE_STD variables found on the top of the index.php file. For consistency
purposes, leave $_WME_PAGE_STD['BREADCRUMB'] untouched. Now save this file under your newly created TM directory
- Noting the structure that a TM is supposed to have (see here)
create the necessary TM-level subdirectories. These are css/, img/, and scripts/
-
Create a new file and name it tm.conf.xml. A template of tm.conf.xml can be found
here.
-
Begin filling in the information in tm.conf.xml. At this point, you should be able to
provide data for the following elements: <name>, <version>, <author>, <teacher_guide>.
In the conf file, you also list the locations for each TLP contained
in the TM (and also how these TLPs are sequenced when displayed).
-
Now follow the TLP migration guide to migrate each TLP belonging to
this TM.
- After you are done with all teh TLPs needed (remember you can
add TLPs later also), zip up the TM directory structure and it is ready for
upload and deployment! See the deployment guide for doing that.
