Files Published by Producer
The files that are published depend on the content within the presentation. Therefore, the list of files that are published will vary from one presentation to the next.
To generate a list of the specific files that will be created for a presentation, an e-service can call the Publisher.ShowManifest method, which displays a dialog box containing the file list.
The following is a brief listing of the different files that can be created and published as part of a presentation:
- Presentation templates and the associated image files. The presentation template files are copied to the specified location along with the necessary images to display the presentation in a Web browser. These files will have .gif, .jpg, or .css file name extensions. These files are published to a subfolder that includes the name of the presentation templates used in the presentation.
- Microsoft PowerPoint slides and associated files. The slides and the associated images or script files for the PowerPoint slides are published to a subfolder of the presentation. This subfolder is given a shortened version of the name of the original PowerPoint presentation.
- HTML files and associated images. Any HTML files and associated still images are stored in a subfolder of the main presentation folder.
- Theme.css. A style sheet that contains color information and font sizes for various parts of the presentation. This includes text for the table of contents entries as well as discussions if you have specified a discussion server.
- Project.js, ProjectA.js, and GoGoProd.js. This group of Microsoft JScript files contains scripting information that controls how the presentation is displayed and played back. Do not change these files.
- MainFile.htm. The starting page of the presentation. The actual file name is specified in the Publish Wizard.
- Scan.hta. This Web file displays the list of available Microsoft Producer presentations in a folder and its subfolders or on a CD. This file is automatically generated and lets the viewer click a link to start a presentation.
- Autorun.inf and Page.ico. Autorun.inf enables a CD to automatically start after it is inserted in a CD-ROM drive (provided that functionality is not disabled in the operating system). Page.ico contains the Microsoft Producer icon that is displayed on the title bar of the page titled Select a Presentation, which provides a list of available presentations.
- Default.htm and associated .gif images. This page is the introduction page of the presentation. This page displays the information you entered such as the title, presenter, introduction page image, and description. This page displays while your presentation is loading in a Web browser.
- BasicStyles.css. This style sheet contains information about how the presentation is displayed and played back.
- Windows Media files. The Windows Media files, which have .wmv, .wma, or .asx file name extensions. The number of WMV or WMA files depends on the number of profiles you selected when publishing the presentation. The Windows Media metafile with an .asx file name extension specifies which Windows Media files will be played back in the presentation.
