Player Templates
Mar 10, 2011

Hi,
I have created a custom player template based on my client's corporate colours. Does anyone know how I can copy that template to another computer to work on the project from there? I have packaged the project and opened it on the second computer however I obnly have the templates available to me on that second computer's installation.
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,
Jade has come up with a nice little PDF to direct you to the proper place based on your OS. Here it is: http://jadekelsall.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/template_locations.pdf.
If you have edited and saved your custom player templates, that's where they should be.
Here's also a knowledgebase article that shows template locations& some helpful screencasts. http://www.articulate.com/support/presenter09/kb/?p=914
Another thing to keep in mind: if you publish your project at least once, the player template info will become part of the PPTA file, so when you create your Articulate package and open it elsewhere, the player template will show up as "In Project." Then you can save it to the hard drive like this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/136774316
This turning on/off hidden files and folders etc. is all very well but it would be good to have an export option for all these types of files in the next version of Articulate.
On my latest Windows 7 machine it is almost impossible to locate these files (the 'standard' paths seem to be very slightly different to those describe in the links above).
Hi John,
If there is something you would like to see in a future version, definitely submit a feature request:
