Multiple Publishing with different slide numbers

Hi All,

I do have a issue regarding multiple publishing of a single course. Let me explain.

There are 3 iSections of a course and (for example) each couse/pptx consists of 300 slides each.

First isection is from 1-300 slides, second isection slides are named from 301-600 and third isection slides are named from 601-900.

The issue is, when I publish those courses, the slide.swf in the data/swf folder for all the course starts from slide1.swf and the presentation.swf files too starts from slide1.swf.

My concern is how can I set them before publishing as they are published as per they are named in the pptx. For example, for 2nd course, the swfs would be slide301.swf to slide600.swf. and so on.

It’s a single course for iLS and need to combine them to one. However, now we need to rename those one-by-one checking the pptx slides.

Hope it helps in understanding. Let me know if you want to know anything else from me.

Hi

Dont think you can do this out of the box, not sure why you would need to do this, if you are combining into a multiple SCO you still would not need to rename the swfs as they would still remain as seperate courses

I also dont know how articulate will respond when it cannot find slide1.swf

If this is the best solution for you, I would look for file batch renamer,

HI

That is the question I answered, when you publish articulate generates swfs in order starting the count from 1, there is no way as far as I know to do what you want.  Slide titles, and numbers and powerpoint have no effect on the generated slide swfs

I cannot see any need to have the slde#.swf to be numbered in this way, if your combining into a single articulate file, then you hit a logistical nightmare because all the data is not just stored in the slides, but also in xml documents and additional files in the data folder

As I said before though you can get batch file renamers that will do this for youy very quickly after publishing
