Hello,

Here is another problem i encountered:

The images that are displayed in the phone dial are "fitted" into the surrounding circles instead of filling ("resolving into" the circle by way of zooming into a particular detail in the image.

How can this effect be achieved for images displayed in the phone dial circles ("the dial holes", as it were)?

appreciating any suggestions,

Daniel

Hi Daniel-

Do you have your own Pachyderm server that you can modify or are you working on a hosted install.
If you have your own server, please see post http://www.pachyforge.org/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=16&func=view&catid=58&id=&id=60&catid=58

If you are working on a hosted server, you really can not do anything about this unless you can convince your host to change the database for the installation. If you are working with a legacy NMC hosted account, I'd suggest you sign up for Pachyderm services http://www.pachyforge.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=1

I believe their hosted accounts now include the "fixed" phonedial (which addresses your request) as well as the timeline and dual comparison templates.

Sorry there is no simple answer at this point. Many of these minor issues will be fixed when Pachyderm 2.1 is released mid-year. Don't give up hope.

P.S. There is a template level Q&A on the forum for discussing template specific questions and issues. Please direct future questions to that area. Thanks!

All best,
Scott

Hello Scott,

Thank you for the message. I have the pachyderm server app installed on my PC, so i have some flexibility. I have tried to summarize the changes suggested in the posting you mentioned but things are not clear to me. Here is what i understood:

1. There is a file called phonedial.fla:

I downloaded it from the other post, but could not figure out to what directory in the pachyderm installation i would copy it to (a search for other *.fla files didn't bring up anything related to the pachyderm installation directories)

2. there is a suggested change to be done to the XML field in the compdescription table

However, there are several records each having the name phone dial in them, so i am wondering to which of these
record i would attempt to make the above change.

thanks,

Daniel

Hello Scott,

done it. In the end i only had to change the XML field for PhoneDial.item record (which sounded the logical choice for me).

thanks,

Daniel

ps. so i guess i have no need for the fla file anymore

Good work Daniel-

Yes, no need for the FLA unless you wanted to customize the layout, not the content.

This is a good third option. So, did you end up hand changing the xml file for just the presentation or did you change it for your install?

Hello Scott,

I changed it for the install -- i.e. i used the MySQL query browser to download the field contents (XML text stored as a Blob), changed it, and uploaded it again, with help of the upload blob functionality of the Query browser. Too bad they call the query browser "browser" since its really an editor.

thanks,

Daniel
