Running same content on 2 Carousel Solo units?

I have two solo servers in separate buildings and want to show mostly the same bulletins on both. What's the best workflow for copying bulletins between servers, and is there any way to make one server a slave to the first (i.e. just run largely the same content on both units?)

Pete --

The unit is a Carousel 220 Solo... Is that enough info for BIOS setting info, or do you need a particular build #.... ??

Thanks, Paul B.

Auto Reboot setting for Carousel Device?

We are running a standalone Carousel device on a single message board display. When there is a power outage or power interruption the box shuts down as one would expect -- no power, duh! ...and stays shut down.

Is there a way to set the Carousel device to auto-reboot after a power outage, or must the restart be done manually by physically pressing the device start button -- in our case this is hard to do as it is hidden behind some ceiling panels.

Thanks for any info - Paul B.

So what is the recommended procedurefor doing a downgrade from 10.5 to 10.4...? After several months of working with it I am finding Leopard just a little too pokey on my late-2004 G4 iBook. Probably should have stuck with 10.4 as it was working fine before...

Should I backup (archive?) to ext HD, erase and reformat iBook HD, install 10.4 from restore disc, and then what....? It would be lovely not to have to reinstall all my apps and mini-apps.

A comment on the question "Weather Page Template ???" in Tightrope Media Systems:

So why am I not seeing any content updates in the weather bulletin I created? All I see is the ## coding. Are there firewall settings to consider? Thanks, Paul B. – Paul B., on October 30, 2008 22:54

Jennifer -- how does the RSS info get injected into the template -- are there firewall settings to consider? I cannot see any change in the data...

Weather Page Template ???

Where is the weather page template? I can't seem to find it if there is one... or do I have to create it from scratch? And how do I add the RSS info... been doing the RTFM but cannot find this info.

Thanks for any help! Paul B.

Changing the thumbnail of a template?

IHow do I change the thumbnail of a template, once the template has been changed? For example I've changed the background image of one template, but it still shows the original image.

Is there a way to set the thumbnail? I've not seen that function.

Thanks, Paul B.

Never mind, I figured it out.

1. You have to be in the Manage Bulletins/All Bulletins tab mode
2. need to click and drag the small bulletin thumbnail itself, not the whole frame
