Robohelp WebHelp or XML files in a Content Management System

My company is creating a developers portal that will provide tools and documentation for developers using our SDK. We are using the Orchard CMS and are in the process of deciding whether to import the RoboHelp-generated files (either HTML or XML) into the CMS database, or just publish the RoboHelp-generated files on the server and link to them from the CMS. Does anyone have any experience importing RoboHelp output into a CMS? I'm afriad the import process is going to be difficult. I'm also concerned that I won't get all of the features that I use like the index or glossary when it's imported into a different CMS.
Thanks for any information you can provide me.
Carrie

I'm not saying it was wrong to ask here. It was just that you weren't getting any response and different people follow HATT. It occurred to me that someone there who did not follow this forum may have had experience of your scenario OR there might be someone with experience of Orchard who might have used it with some other authoring tool and been able to say that did or did not work.

Creating PDF from XML directly in a content management system?

Hi!
This is my first post here and I've tried to find any previous posts that could answer my question but to no avail. Also I think and hope this is the correct sub forum to post it in.
I work at a company that produces a product catalogue that is published as a webpage, a PDF document (used as the basis for a tablet app) and a printed catalogue from a PDF. For the PDF (used in the tablet app and the printed catalogue) we are using a CMS based on XML that produces Adobe FrameMaker documents which we then export the PDF from. We are looking in to updating the system and make it flow much better but are a bit uncertain of what the best way to go would be.
A solution I'm thinking of would be to have the content of the product catalogue in some kind of XML based service that can export the information in XML. This would hopefully make it possible to send the documents either directly to PDF by XML and some style sheets or import the XML into some InDesign templates (for the more complicated designs at intro pages etc).
One important aspect of the product catalogue is that we have all information saved in different languages so there has to be some kind of connection between the templates and different language versions -- ie. the page design but different language text flows for each language edition.
What I wonder is. What kind of services/solutions would there be that handles XML to PDF for a quite complicated product catalogue (ie. the different language versions)?
Thanks in advance!

The difference between the two packages is that PatternStream effectively works on a "pull" principle (the content is retrieved into the template(s) by queries at the appropriate locations), while Miramo is a "push" (the tagged content is processed by Miramo using templates to create the DTP files). SInce Miramo allows programatical processing before the content is pushed into the DTP app, you can do all sorts of manipulations, conditional processing, automatically insert markers and variables, etc. so it allows for a fairly complex layout, even with FrameMaker. It also allows api's and scripts to be triggered at the backend when the publication has been assembled for further processing/manipulation.
Is there any particular reason that you want to move from the FM engine to the ID one? In terms of throughpu,t FM streams run very much faster than ID ones. Also, unless the layouts are extremely complex, in an automated environment, there are very few catalogue layouts that I've seen that couldn't also be handled using a FM workflow.
Are there any samples on line of the types of catalogues that you are currently producing? This would help in assessing which tools and workflows might be more appropriate to your situation.

Is RoboHelp a content management system?

I know RoboHelp can use conditional tag to manage file
content. RoboSource control can do version control. Then what is
the difference between RoboHelp and Content Management system?
Thanks.

Well, the basic unit of information in RH is the topic. There
are features to modify a topic and to exclude it from the final
output. But you can't re-use part of a topic in another topic.
In a real CMS, you are writing building blocks from which the
output is generated. Talking about online help, you can have one
building block appear in a multitude of different topics. If you
change one block, the changes propagate through all topics using
this building block.
And don't get me startet abour robustness, reliability and
the ability to handle large projects...
RH has several features which emulate a CMS, but the basic
concept is completely different.

I can't delete a file in the Content-Management

Hello,
I can't delete a file in the Content-Management, altough I have full control.
I get the following error message:
System error (com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException): null
Many thanks for the help.

Dear SAPMuffel ,
As far as we can see the error "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.ResourceNotFoundException" is telling that the resource you are trying to delete could not be found, that is also to say, it might not exist any more.
So please let me know exactly how you can reproduc this issue?
and what kind of file it is? under what kind of KM repository?
Is there any other file under the same KM folder?
Also you can reproduce the issue and then check the lastest defaulttrace file under this folder:
../j2ee/cluster/server0/log/defaultTrace.*.trc
here you can find the detailed exception.
Best Regards,
Thunder

Upload javascript files for edge animate banner to work in Content Management System (was: how do upload...)

how do upload the javascript files for the html edge animate banner to work in my Content Management System module. At present, the html cannot function because the reference javascript files are missing.

I am not very sure how the CMS manage their content but basically the javascript files need to be in the same folder as the HTML file for Animate content to play.

How to create a built in Content Management System

Hey guys, I've found myself in a spot of trouble.
My client commissioned me to create for him a website for his new restaurant (Paul's Place). I built him a responsive site using another website I found online (www.megnarestaurant.com) as a guideline. The problem is though that the client plans on changing the menu about every month and wants to be able to change it himself. I could teach him how to edit the files and add new ocntent himself (It's not even that hard after all) but that just doesn't seem like the right option.
Instead, I want to create a built in content management system that doesn't require a third party website or software like Wordpress or Joomla. I was thinking about having a page called "www.paulsdiner.com/login" where the client can log in using a username and password and can then change the content of the website.
My menu page is pretty much the same as the one found on "www.megnarestaurant.com/starters.html". I'm also using gloriafoods as an ordering system meaning that the client will have to change it on both the website itself and on the actual gloriafoods website (Not really an issue).
I want the client to be able to edit the menu boxes and add new boxes along with being able to add a new menu section (Like in the Jump Menu) which follows the template of the existing Jump Menu.
I'm making this website as a favour to my friend so I'm not being paid. As a point of reference (And future bragging and maybe some innocent blackmail ) how much do you guys think the creator of "www.megnarestaurant.com" charged his client?

Have a look at Perch
Perch - The really little content management system (CMS) - Perch
It requires a php/mysql database to run but the tables and set up are all automated through the Perch set up files - you just need a server that runs php/mysql. It works on the same principals as the one Ben suggested but its a lot cheaper for a one off site - however if you intend to build more CMS driven sites the one Ben suggested might be more financially viable in the long run.
The nice thing about Perch CMS is it fits in with your workflow unlike Wordpress/Joomla where you have to jump through hoops to change anything.
Plus I think you can take Perch for a spin before buying (or at least you could when I was exploring CMSs) - you can't with Power CMS. I never investigated Power CMS beacuse I would not buy something before trying it. It looks good but it might be a bit dated as it doesnt seem to be in continuous develoment. Perch is in a constant state of development and the guys are working to make it better on a daily basis.

Oracle Payables Integration With Documentum Content Managment System

Hi there,
I'm working for a customer who has the requirement to add "attachments" to invoices in Oracle Payables. The attached documents will not be stored in Oracle, but will be links to documents stored in the Documentum content management system. Clicking on the link will retrieve the document and display it.
The problem is I am a complete novice when it comes to developing for Oracle Payables. Documentum provides an extensive java API that I have a lot of experience using but can I get at that from within Payables?
Can anyone point me at the correct documentation/websites to get me going?
Many Thanks
Paul

You can attach a URL to an invoice using standard attachments, just query up an existing invoice and click on the "paperclip" attachments icon in the toolbar, enter the sequence, category, description and enter "Web Page" as the data type, then put the URL in the File or URL field.
You could also do the above steps automatedly via PL/SQL (or Java) by calling the appropriate FND attached documents API to insert the data into the required tables.

Accessing content in WebLogic Content Management system via link in JSP

We are running WebLogic 8.1 (sp4) and are learning about the BEA Content Management System and what we can do with it. We have a user request to pull out the content based on certain indexes and display the titles as links in a JSP. The links in the JSP would actually allow the user to pull down the document.
 
Is this possible?
Could someone send an example on how to do this?
 
Thank you,
 
Robert
 
This is what we have so far (which builds a link, but we don't have the correct mapping to open/save/etc. the file):
 
<pz:contentSelector rule="ProgramPublicLinks" id="pubLinks"/>
<utility:notNull item="<%=pubLinks%>">
<utility:forEachInArray array="<%=pubLinks%>" id="plink" type="com.bea.content.Node">
 
[a href="<%=request.getContextPath() + plink.getPath() %>"]
 
<cm:getProperty id="plink" default="No content node found." name="binary" resultId="link"
conversionType="url" />
<%= link %>
 
[a]
 
</utility:forEachInArray>
</utility:notNull>

Hi Robert,
Take a look at the DownloadBinaryServlet. You can use this to download a CM Node's binary property value.
If you are displaying images, the ShowPropertyServlet is probably a better match. (build up an image href URL to the ShowProperty servlet)

Edge animate and content management system

Since I'm having great difficulty getting this to work, I'm wondering if edge animate 2014.1 will work in an content management system? The previous version I was using created a _edgePreload.js which among other things, loaded the javascript files and had a path to those .js files that could be changed, which is how I managed to get about half working with my cms. Now that Edge has updated to v2014.1 the _edgePreload.js is no longer automatically generated as a separate file and when set to publish preload DOM as separate file, this preload.js does not have the same "paths" section. Also, publish settings will not let you use relative paths, Can anyone explain if and how edge animate 2014.1 can work in an content management system I would greatly appreciate it.

You can now modify the first parameter to "AdobeEdge.loadComposition" in the generated html page accordingly.
Say, you moved the edge generated js(_edge.js and/or _edgePreload.js) files to folder "myJSFiles", then do the following change:
Before Change: AdobeEdge.loadComposition('CompName', 'EDGE-107552393', { ..... }
After Change: AdobeEdge.loadComposition('myJSFiles/CompName', 'EDGE-107552393', { ..... }

Creating iBooks for a company's content management system

Hi,
I am a marketing professional for a medical device company. We recently launched a content management system app for the iPad that we developed for all of our sales representatives to use in the field. This allows us to push new pdf's, videos, etc., out to the field, pull content back, and track its usage.
I've recently discovered iBooks Author, and I think it holds tremendous potential in allowing us to easily create new, interactive content for the iPad. I know that the exported .ibooks files for iPad can only be displayed in the iBooks app, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to push/pull/track usage of the iBooks on our sales reps' iPads. Also, would there be a way to alter our content management app to run certain content through the iBooks app?
Thanks in advance!
Matt

> it would be possible to push/pull/track usage of the iBooks on our sales reps' iPads.
Do you have an Enterprise Account (app development)...?
>, would there be a way to alter our content management app to run certain content through the iBooks app
In theory, yes, via OpenURL.

I can no longer edit my custom content management system using Firefox

Hello,
I work for the University of North Carolina. We have a very old custom content management system that is built in Oracle (UCM). When logged in, it has little edit buttons that allow you to click on items and launch edit windows. I don't know what's behind that -- it's not Java. I'm thinking javascript? All I know is that since the Firefox upgrade to 13.0.1, the edit buttons no longer display, and the sites are not editable.
So far, the only way we've been able to allow people to edit their sites is by forcing them to use IE9 in compatibility mode. All other browsers fail for various reasons. Firefox is our workhorse browser, but we're desperate to have Firefox back.
I understand we also have some problems with our Remedy application -- not sure what's happening, but it's also no longer functional in Firefox. I'm wondering if there is a patch in the works that will address these issues?
BTW, it sounds a lot like this issue here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930042

Drat... So, we tried taking out the javascript entirely. No real change, except lightbox actions would not function. Then, we tried referencing a different javascript version. No difference, except that lightboxes and Carousels still would not function.
To see if the $ error was universal across all of our sites, I logged into four or five other UCM sites. None of them threw the $ error, only the Art site. What's interesting is that for all sites, you can see editable areas if you look for them (e.g. mouse randomly around the areas where there used to be buttons to click on), but the icons continue to not show up.
The warnings coming from the console seem fairly benign, and it's only the Art site that throws a definite error. The only thing that seems consistent across all sites is the warning: "server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555".
Any other thoughts? I'm not sure a guest logon would help, but I can certainly pursue that line of action if you'd like to dig a little deeper.
Thanks in advance,
- Veda
