Using Modifier XTensions software
To use Modifier XTensions software:
1
Create a QuarkXPress project. Note the IDs or names of any text and picture boxes you
want to manipulate.
2
Upload the project to the QuarkXPress Server document pool.
3
Create XML that describes the changes you want, as described in "Creating XML for Modifier
XTensions software."
4
Send the XML to the server in one of the following ways:
Put the XML in a file on the server and then use a URL to point to the file, as follows:
http://server:port/namespace/path/projectname?modify=file:absolute
path to XML file on server
Put the XML in the URL, as follows:
http://server:port/namespace/path/projectname?modify=XML string
Clients can also send XML in the form of a POST request.
Creating XML for Modifier XTensions software
All XML used with Modifier XTensions software uses the Modifier DTD. This DTD is
documented in full in the QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
In general, the structure for addressing items in a particular layout is as follows:
<PROJECT>
<LAYOUT>
<ID NAME="[name of layout]">
<[Item being addressed]>
<[Parameters of item]>
</[Item being addressed]>
</LAYOUT>
</PROJECT>
For more information, see the QuarkXPress Server Web Integration Guide.
QuarkVista XTensions software
A QuarkVista preset file is a file that contains a list of one or more QuarkVista picture effects
and instructions for applying those effects. You can use QuarkVista XTensions software
to apply and remove preset files containing QuarkVista effects to pictures in picture boxes
before rendering a project.
QuarkVista effects work only with projects that were last saved in QuarkXPress 6.0 or later.
