Creating a Training WEC Starter Package on a Mac

When conducting WEC training sessions it is helpful to have the Flash-based WEC 101, WEC 102, etc. classes on the local training computer to avoid relying on the facility's internet connection to get them from the WEC website. The Flash-based classes can be added to a section in the WEC-TYPO3 Server to enable both access to the Flash classes and live demonstrations with the Starter Package.

Here are the steps to creating a Training Version of the WEC-TYPO3 Server in a Mac.

1. Download and install the WEC-TYPO3 Server for Mac.
2. Download the files at the bottom of this page to your desktop.
3. Start the WEC-TYPO3 Server running and login to the backend.
4. Click Page a the left then click on the root page (First Church) icon in the page tree. Select More Options the Import from T3d.
5. Click the Upload tab.
6. Browse for and upload the wectrainingclass.t3d file. This file is a T3D export from the WEC Classes page with a few modifications.
7. Click on the Import tab, and check the check box to Force ALL UIDs values in order to keep the links in the pages working.
8. Click the Import button.
9. After the import is complete, you should see a new WEC section toward the top of the page tree. Move the WEC page to just after the Learn & Grow page.
10. Goto Filelist. Notice there is a new wec.com directory.
11. Delete fileadmin/wec.com folder because we will replace it with the zip file. 
12. Upload the wectrainingclass.zip file to the fileadmin directory.
13. Click on it icon and choose Unpack.
14. A new wec.com directory should appear in the fileadmin directory. Reload the page tree from the server to see the new directory. 
    Note: the fileadmin/wec.com/howtos directory has multiple .sh scripts that can be used to re-download the latest versions of the flv files from the WEC server. These require a Mac to execute.
15. Now view the frontend and look at the WEC section and see the WEC classes. Verify that the Flash comes up for every lesson. Notice that the classes use a special template to try to keep the How-To on a projection screen without scrolling or adjustments.
