MX Site Manager Question

I will be helping someone set up DW MX to manage their site
(having them buy
CS3 is not an option at this time). I'm only familiar with
the Site Manager
in DW8 and CS3, are there any differences I should be aware
of? Only Local
and Remote Info settings are important at the moment.
Thanks,
Alan

Good luck!

Two Separate Problems - 1) Some website elements missing in Internet Explorer and 2) Site manager page Locks up

1) I have two forms created in FormsCentral embedded on my website www.videoaldeco.com . They do not appear in Internet Explorer. They work in Firefox and Safari on my iPhone. However, the problem only occurs on this computer. I tried another PC and the forms appear fine in Internet Explorer.
2) When I go into Site Admin Console page from Muse, Internet Explorer locks up almost every time. Only Windows Task Mngr can shut it down. Then it wants to recover page. Recovering page only locks up again.

Hi
Answering the questions :
1) I am not able to replicate as it works on my end , form loads fine on IE. Please let me know the IE version you are using.
2) I don't see the same issue with site manager , please check the browser plugins and try to disable all and then check.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Nested sites in site manager

I tried to see if I could have nested sites in the site
manager and it looks like that works.
c:/www/site1/webroot < ------ (root for first site, inner
site)
c:/www/site1 <--------------------(root for second site,
outer site) (I will need this to work on some files under this
folder and also be able to upload them through DW)
Has anyone tried that before and are there any unapparent
consequences for doing this?
I will avoid working on any files that belong to the inner
site from the outer site to avoid the links getting corrupted.
The reason I am trying this is related to a this question I
had few days ago.
This
is the other post
Thanks,
Shahim

You can have a site definition whose root folder is within
the root of
another site. You will have problems with synchronization in
that
configuration.

Public Site Manager - GIF files

It appears the PSM will only accept JPG or PNG files for album art. Since our current site uses GIF file in many feeds, I assume I'll have to convert all to a supported format. Question: Do I also have to manually replace each image that was manually uploaded to our iTunes U site?
Or will the new PSM pull all images from rss feeds and trash any manually uploaded images from our old iTunes U site?
thanks

Found the answer
http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter14_section4.html
iTunes U Public Site Manager copies course images from your original course pages, *except for feed groups*, and displays the images in your new collection pages as collection art. For collections created from a feed group in your original site, include image details within the feed itself. iTunes U Public Site Manager uses elements within the feed to populate your collection page.

Site manager For network logons

Hello everyone,
My name is John, and i am an ICT Technician for my school. We
have been using dreamweaver for a few years now, and have come
accross a slight problem with the "site manager" tool. Basically,
we have 2000 Network users who we are looking to use this tool. The
user can set up the site with no problem, but the information is
lost when they log off the network. So, when they log on they will
have to set it up again.... What can be done to fix this problem?
Any ideas will be gladly recived :)
Thanks,
John

> All the "Site manager" features work properly. However,
> when we log off, ALL the data to do with the MY SITE
profile has been removed.
question- is this machine running some kind of "rollback"
software whose job
is to wipe out any changes to a person's profile or
non-approved registry
entries? This has come up before in questions about school
lab computers not
saving site information. At shutdown or at midnight, the
entire computer is
restored to a predefined state automatically
If there is such software on the machine- see if there is a
way in it's
settings/preferences to have it allow dreamweaver site
entries to the
registry and not wipe them.
otherwise- a work-around is to have the students use the
Export button to
create an .ste site definition backup file. Put that in a
place that's not
to be wiped. Then next work session, dw
menu-->site-->Manage Site-->Import
that .ste file and the site def is restored.

Site Manager Misbehaviour

I have a persistent and very annoying problem with the site
manager, and I wonder if anyone here can shed some light.
Whenever a users opens the Dreamweaver (MX 2004) site manager
with the local version of the site set to a folder on a shared
drive it opens up a bunch of connections to the folders being
managed. It appears that there is a connection leak, because after
a while the number of connections grows to over 50 and my file
server (a LaCie Ethernet Disk, which is a little machine running XP
embedded) starts to throw errors about being unable to allocate
work units and running out of nonpaged pool memory. To restore
order I have to log in to the server and manually close the
connections, or have the offending user(s) close Dreamweaver
completely (just closing the site manager doesn't seem to help).
Has anyone else seen this connection leaking behaviour? I've
searched the forums and knowledge base, and can't find any
references to it.
Cheers,
Rodd

Search for FTP login, or IE7, please. Anyhow it's the recent
installation
of IE7 that is the problem.

Where are all of my "Site Manager" items on my Admin Console?

I feel like I am flooding the forum with Newbie Questions and maybe this one will answer other questions I have asked. I just recently upgrade from webBasic to webMarketing and I am learning the new things like html for newsletters, etc. I watch a lot of tutorial videos and read through "How-to's" on Adobe's BC Site and I have been seeing that to do things i need several menu items listed under "Site Manager" such as "Page Templates" and "File Manager".
Well, I only have two things listed under my Admin Console's "Site Manager" menu tab. Do I not have the other options because I need to upgrade to webCommerce? See attached photo and note the clear screenshot of my admin console menu on the left and a menu from a tutorial I am wanting to follow but can't because I don't have the wide variety of menu options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AHOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Today is a great day, for I have found all of the answers to all of my problems! LOL
So I was the creater the site and did everything with the admin setup...bought BC subscriptions, etc. and the thing I needed to do was view "My Details" from my admin name in the upper right and click this little box that says "Enable online content editing (incompatible with Muse)".
Now I just need to figure out how to do things when my entire site is made in Muse and I know no HTML lol.
Thanks.

I cannot Publish my site after using the Publish Public Site Manager. An error, with no explanation is returned.

The problem we’re having has to do with transitioning our existing Easter I Tunes U site over to an iTunes U Public site as the instructions below tell us to do.
-          I can access the itunes U Public Site Manager fine with my ID.
-          I was able to make some changes to our existing site to get it ready for publishing it to the iTunes U public site format.
-          I can preview our existing site as a new Public Site fine from within the Public Site Manager application.
-          However, when I try to Publish it I get an error that says :   An error has occurred during the publishing of your content. Try again
Looking for some support to tell me what we’re not doing correctly to migrate our existing site over.

Here are the answers
Eastern CT State University is no longer in the iTunes U directory .    r
The have not migrated their site to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Starting June 2010 we notified all iTunes U site administrators for any site in the iTunes store that they would need to migrate their existing site to iTunes U Public Site Manager in the future. In Feb. 2011 we notified them that the deadline for migration would be April 2011 and that if they had not migrated their site would no longer appear on the list.
For Eastern CT State University to return to the list, they just need to transition over to an iTunes U Public Site Manager based site. Information on how to do so can be found here -http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter_14_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/iTUPSM-CH5-SW2

Nick Good ?uestion!
I am the New Admin for The University of New Orleans, and after reading the response to your initial question I think we fall into the category of needing to migrate to Public site manager. But looking at the tutorial which is mainly text, I cannot follow the instructions. Do you have a screen shot of what step two because I cannot find the " iTunes U Public Site Manager in the Tools area."
Thank you!

New public site manager? and what happened to tabs?

I have received the iTunes U activation email and I am about to start building our iTunes U site. When I went on the iTunes U course a few months ago the layout was very different. I understand there is a new layout and that this has something to do with the 'Public site manager' - could someone explain?
My big concern is that I have multiple rss feeds for our public lecture series. We have over 1000 public lecture podcasts, videos, slides, transcripts etc. Since they're basically all the same 'course' I have multiple rss feeds for each media type e.g. audio, video, slide-audio, transcript(pdf) and slides(pdf). The rss feeds are split by year and there's another bunch of feeds for the latest 50 items. I was planning to create a course for each year and the latest 50 items and use the tabs to display the different media types. How can I do this using the new layout? It feels like I have fewer options in the new layout. The course titles are truncated on the homepage so how can I differentiate so many different feeds that are essentially the same 'course'. The only option I can see is to use the cover art to somehow display the year and media type for each feed else I'm just going to get a bunch of icons and titles that look identical.
Any help or advice would be much apprciated.
Tom

Please ignore these questions - I have now watched the public site manager video webcast and I'm now up to speed. http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/new.duke.edu.1302914143.0352 7899686.4285944238?i=2057081390
I have to say I am not happy, not happy at all. We've just spent six months building a media CMS and publishing system much of which was built with the 'old' iTunes U layout and information architecture in mind. We're now going to have to do some major revision work before we can launch.
Specific annoyances -
1. The tabbed layouts we’re great for bunching together different media types and while I understand the logic behind ditching the tabs the new layout doesn’t really work for me. The collection titles are truncated on the homepage, how are people going know what the collection is let alone distinguish between variants for video, audio and hd video?
2. pdf documents are now supposed to go in with the relevant podcast or video feed. It is virtually impossible for us to do this using our media CMS. We can publish pdf's as a separate rss feed for each collection and/or we can bunch everything together (audio, video, pdf etc) into a single rss feed but we can't put the pdf's into a the rss feed for audio, and video and hd video.
3. The ability to upload images for individual collections rather than pulling the image from the rss feed was a really useful option. With the truncated collection titles on the homepage and the lack of tabs, the collection images become even more important because they're the only place where you can display the media type or collection variant (year, term etc) on the homepage. Our media CMS will put an image in an rss feed but if we publish variants of that feed e.g. for a particular year, term or media type it will use the same image for all of them. So now instead of a unique image for each variant of a collection we're will have to use a stock image making it impossible for users to distinguish between variants of a collection.
3. Is possible for the speaker/author name appear in the individual podcast/video listing? All the listings I've seen that use the new layout omit this information. This assumes that every item in a collection is presented by the same lecturer/speaker . Our public lecture series has a different speaker for each event, some of these are very high profile people and users will be looking for the name of the speaker not necessarily the name of the event.
These things combined really limit our options, in fact I'm scratching my head wondering how we're going to get around some of these problems. Grrrrr. </rant ends>

How do I create a non-apple ID account for a new adminstrator for a Podcast Site Manager

http://myinfo.apple.com is inoperable. I need to create a new account for an Administrator for our Podcast Site Manager account. We have one that no one can access. Can someone assist or point me in the direction of someone at APPLE that can? I called their helpdesk and THEY couldn't even help.
Concerned...

I'm afraid I don't know anything about this: it doesn't appear to be relevant to ordinary podcasts. Is this an iTunes-U matter? - perhaps that forum would help.

Hi there, the creative cloud site you get is only a web basic plan. You do not have those features, you will need to upgrade if you want them.

Business Catalyst Site Manager Only Showing Web Forms

I am having a horrible time trying to just apply and setup a template in business catalyst. I have gotten to the point where you add the HTML {tag_pagecontent} into a page in muse. Now I went to my admin panel and went to the site manager drop down. All it shows is web forms and system emails! Isn't there supposed to be buttons for templates etc?! I hope someone has the answers, btw I am using a trial site currently but that shouldn't make a difference right? Thanks in advance.

I figured it out, I had to click on my name in the right corner within the BC admin. Then click on my details and scroll down and check box the "enable web editing" and save. That made all site manager options available.

DW8 Site Manager Window

1. The dropdown menu for sitenames in the SHOW SITE list
selector no longer responds to typing in the first letter of the
site and the list zips to that alphabetical point in the list.
Previous versions did this, as is window standard for dropdown
menus.
2. WHen minimizing the DW main window, using the
click-on-taskbar DW icon, the Site manager window is left showing.
If the Minimize _ top left window standard button (near the X close
button) is used, it minimizes both windows.
3. Often it seems impossible to get the Local Side of the
Site manager window to Refresh to be the current files listed in
the directory, if, for instance, image files were added outside of
DW. REFRESH, F5, etc. do nothing. Relaunching DW then shows the
correct up-to-date directory listing.
4. After how many revisions of DW since DW2(when there was
discussion and "promises" to fulfill these features), there still
seems not to be a feature to provide information (e.g., right click
context menu a filename in the local directory to have this option)
for what files use/point to a particular file or asset. Since DW
already keeps a cross-reference cache of the dependencies, it seems
this is an easy informational list to display. It's very useful in
a number of situations, especially as a precursor to moving a file,
to see if anyone (or who) is dependent on this file. Too, DW is not
always thorough in updating all links and references to assets and
linked files (for instance, (a) there's a difference in behavoir if
you drag a file to another folder vs. cut/paste a file to another
folder; (b) html option dropdown lists sometimes are not updated,
(c) standard (e.g., imageready-generated) rollover menu image
references are never updated, especially in templates (what a pain
that is to manage).
5. Similarly there is no feature in a right-click context
menu (or otherwise) to fabricate/generate an absolute URL (from the
published web site perspective) for a given html file or image
asset. This has to be done manually(typing it in or navigating in a
browser and then copying the URL), but it could so easily be
generated and put in the paste buffer or other usable place.

apps seem
to leave bits and pieces behind when minimizing on a Mac. Or
closing,
for that matter.

<shrug> Personally I don't see the need for it, but you
can always
tell Adobe (telling us here in the user-to-user forum doesn't
really
do you a whole lot of good, you know?).
When I want to find out what links to a file, I do a global
search for
the filename. But since I'm rather anal about site
architecture, file
naming conventions, and keeping good records, I've only ever
had to do
this when I'm working in a site someone else developed.

Never tried this, to be honest. Since dragging works, why cut
and
paste?
In my opinion DW is acting responsibly. If you have cut a
file from
the list of files, it warns you about existing links to that
file. If
you proceed with the deletion, it's deleted. Including from
the file
list. If you then paste the file somewhere else, how is DW
supposed
to know that you didn't really mean to delete it, you meant
to move
it?

I have no idea what you mean here.

That's because those are NOT "standard" menus. The links are
buried
in JavaScript. If they were standard menus with standard
links, DW
could manage them just fine.
Do a search in this forum for posts about the Fireworks
menus; the
ImageReady ones are no different.

Guess since I have never seen the need to use absolute URLs
within a
site, I haven't run into this.
How is DW to know what the absolute URL path is supposed to
be? And
if you want site root relative links, why not just use site
root
relative links?

Project Management Question - timelines for Production system deployment

Hi
I need an expert advice on setting up timelines for establishing an Oracle Apps Production environment. We are implementing Oracle HR & Payroll at an organization.
Our system architecture is a 2-node application tier and 2-node DB tier (RAC). RAC is configured by another party and we only have to prepare the application tier (2 nodes)
We would be installing Oracle Apps R11i (11.5.10) with jserv load balancing on the 2-nodes
Can anyone suggest how much time this should take to install/configure & patching of the application tier (on 2 nodes)?
Regards
Saira

ITunes U Site Manager log in error

Hello,
Some contributors to Public iTunes U courses/collections in our institution cannot sign in to the iTunes U Site Manager for the last couple of days:
https://sitemanager.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/DZStudio.woa/wa/SignIn
They get this message: "We're sorry, iTunes Site Manager encountered an error"
We all use iMac or Macbook Pros.
As an iTunes U admin, however, I can log in without any problems.
Has anyone else encountered this problem. Does anyone know what is going on here?
I plan to send iTunes U Support an email about this issue as well.
Thanks.

You are welcome, WonderProfessor.
Updating iTunes may not be the reason at all. It could very well be the Support Team has fixed the problem, which i think is the case.
Also, I learned i should report EACH problem to iTunes U Support Team using its Report Form:
https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes-u/public-site-manager/contact.html
I used the Report Form a couple of months ago to report a different problem. One tech support person responsded and I have been emailing to that individual via email about a few more issues since then. This, however, is NOT a good practice. Reporting each problem using the report form will help the iTunes Support Team to prioritize the work based on urgency.
Anyway, I am releaved it is working now. Thank you. And thanks to the iTunes U Support Team and iTunes U Editors.
