Hi Developers!

I am so excited that we have our new server up and running at the NMC with Pachyderm 2.1. Thank you for your work on the new version. It looks so great.

I am wondering if there are any resources available for creating frames and making simple post production changes to completed pachyderms. I am planning on creating some simple documentation for non-developer MIDEA users and I don't want to replicate what is already done. Is there a repository for these kinds of things? I am glad to share them all when complete.

Thank you-
Rachel V

Hi Rachel,

A while ago I did a webinar for the CSU Academic Technology Staff on how to modify Pachyderm 2.1 presentations. The link for it is pasted below. It's an Elluminate recording so the link downloads the Elluminate file and then you have to launch it.

There have been some additions since the webinar - like being able to replace the entire boarder area of a presentation by replacing the rootboarder.jpg file in the root_assets folder with any graphic you like. If the graphic doesn't match the dimensions exactly, pachy will stretch to fit. There may be others, but not a lot. I think the stuff in the webinar is still accurate and pretty complete.

thank you very much.

Hi....
I'd like to view this presentation, but when opening the zip file, I'm not sure where the executable is to launch/link to the Elluminate Live session. Could you please advise? Thanks in advance.

You should just be able to click on the file with the long name "CATS-2009-MAY-7-ZWEIER-CUSTOMIZING-PACHYDERM-PRESENTATIONS-AND-T.jar" and if your computer has JAVA installed, the player will launch. I just tried it and it worked for me.
