2.4 Configuring Slideshow Template Files for PowerPoint Presentations
If you intend to use Dynamic Converter templates to convert PowerPoint presentations, it is recommended that you use an HTML Conversion template. You
will be able to customize your template by navigating to Document Formatting Presentations Tab in the template editor.
If you use a Classic HTML Conversion template, you should use the slideshow hcst files provided. You will need to check in all three of the slideshow files slideshow.hcst,
slideshowb.hcst, and slideshowc.hcst. A sample PowerPoint file dc_powerpoint.ppt is also included in the ucmDistributionDynamicConverterSamples directory.
If you have Dynamic Converter configured in such a way that it automatically assigns content IDs upon file check-in, you need to edit each slideshow template file to reflect
this. Each file must then be checked in again before you can begin using the templates.
To configure the slideshow template files for conversion of PowerPoint presentations, complete the following steps:
Note: If you accidentally delete the wrong file format, add it again,
and then click Update.
2-4 Administrators Guide for Dynamic Converter
1.
Check all three slideshow files slideshow.hcst, slideshowb.hcst, and slideshowc.hcst into the Content Server. Make sure that you check them in as script templates. See
Checking In a Template on page 4-2 for more information.
To ensure the files are checked into the correct Web Layout directory, make sure that you use the same content type, security group, and account if applicable for
all three files.
If the content IDs are generated automatically, locate and note the automatically generated content ID of each slideshow file.
If the content IDs are not generated automatically, it is recommended that you use something like DC-Slideshow, DC-SlideshowB, and DC-SlideshowC.
2.
Access the slideshow files.
3.
Open each of the slideshow hcst files in a text editor, such as WordPad or vi, and then search for and replace the following slideshow references with the
appropriate content IDs:
■
slideshow.hcst:
Search for: slideshowbtemplate Replace with: the content ID of the checked-in slideshowb.hcst template. For
example, 1002 or DC-SlideshowB.
■
slideshowb.hcst:
Search for: slideshowctemplate Replace with: the content ID of the checked-in slideshowc.hcst template. For
example, 1003 or DC-SlideshowC.
■
slideshowc.hcst:
Search for: slideshowbtemplate Replace with: the content ID of the checked-in slideshowb.hcst template. For
example, 1002 or DC-SlideshowB. Make absolutely sure that you retain the file extension, so something like:
{ link element=sections.current.bodyorimage template=slideshowbtemplate.hcst}.
If you do not, the application may throw an exception during the HTML conversion.
On UNIX systems, the content ID is case-sensitive, so dc-slideshow is not the same as DC-Slideshow or DC-SLIDESHOW.
4. Search for the slideshow files in the Content Server and click the Info link on the
search results page. The content information page is displayed.
5. Click Check out.
6. Click Check In on the check-out confirmation page.
Important: Be sure to save your changes before closing each file.
