Wizard Package

Package format

A wizard package will be a zip of a directory containing:

• A wizard schema instance (WSI) with the standard name "wizard.wsi" ([source:repo1/trunk/prototypes/wizards/TALL_short-course/wizard.wsi?rev=HEAD TALL Short Course example instance])
• A copy of the WCKER XML Schema ([source:repo1/trunk/prototypes/wizards/WCKER-wizard.xsd?rev=HEAD latest version in source control], documentation)
• Templates:
  • A generic template (to build new pages from)
  • Boilerplate content files (e.g. existing induction material)
  • Template support files (CSS, images)

Rather than a .zip extension, if we use a custom extension, we could associate Reload as the defualt application and directly launch one particular wizard by double-clicking its icon.

Suggested extension: .wwz, as a contraction of WCKER Wizard. There are no obvious pre-existing uses of this extension.

Package loading

When a user selects a wizard to run, the Wcker.Wizard should:

1. Load the .wwz wizard package specified as an argument by Wcker.ChooseWizard?
2. Unzip the contents to a temporary directory
3. Load the .wsi file from the package, and build the wizard pages.
