Best Practice for multi lengual site

I have a site: www.powerhouse.com that we want to create a spanish version for. I decided to basically duplicate the site at url: www.powerhouse.com/espanol. The espanol site links to all the original css. I am running in to spacing issues given that spanish has more characters than english. For example: The main drop down menu bar across the top looks fine in english yet in spanish, 'About Us' ends up being 2 lines, screwing up my spacing on the bar. I am assuming that I should duplicate the css file and adjust it accordingly? I just want to make sure I am on the right track. It basically looks like I am going to have 2 sites to maintain.

Split your app into components, use a viewstack for this, not states, and consider modules if there are many views most users never see.

Best practice for multi-page site

Hello!
I am working on a website build entirely in Flex 3.
What is the best way to implement multiple pages as I don't want all loding at the same time?
Should I make a 'parent' mxml, say main.mxml (swf later on) which loads the other pages in a VBox where they should show?
Is there a better way?
Thank you!

Best practice for running multiple sites on 1 CF install?

Hi-
I'm setting up a new hosting environment (Windows Server 2008 Standard 64 bit VPS configuration, MySQL, IIS 7, CF 9)
Has anyone seen any docs or can anyone suggest best practices for configuring multiple sites in this environment? At this point I'm thinking simple is best, one new site in IIS for each client (domain) and point it to CF.
Given this environment, is anyone aware of any gotchas within the setup of CF 9 on IIS 7?
Thank you in advance,
Rich

There's nothing wrong with that approach. You can run as many IIS sites as you like against a single CF install.
As for installing CF on IIS 7, I recommend that you do the following: install CF 9 without connecting it to IIS, then installing the 9.0.1 upgrade and any hotfixes, then connecting CF to IIS using the web server configuration utility. This will keep you from having to install the IIS 6 compatibility layer that's needed with CF 9 but not with CF 9.0.1.

Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?

BPC 7M SP6 - best practice for multi server setup

Experts,
We are considering purchasing new hardware for our BPC 7M implementation. My question is what is the recommended or best practice setup for SQL and Analysis Services? Should they be on the same server or each on a dedicated server?
The hardware we're looking at would have 4 dual core processors and 32 GB RAM in a x64 base. Would this adequately support both services?
Our primary application cube is just under 2GB and appset database is about 12 GB. We have over 1400 users and a concurrency count of 250 users. We'll have 5 app/web servers to handle this concurrency.
Please let me know if I am missing information to be able to answer this question.
Thank you,
Hitesh

I don't think there's really a preference on that point. As long as it's 64bit, the servers scale well (CPU, RAM), so SQL and SSAS can be on the same server. But it is important to look also beyond CPU and RAM and make sure there's no other bottlenecks like storage (Best practice is to split the database files on several disks and of course to have the logs on disks that are used only for the logs). Also the memory allocation in SQL and OLAP should be adjusted so that each has enough memory at all times.
Another point to consider is high availability. Clustering is quite common on that tier. And you could consider having the active node for SQL on one server and the active node for OLAP (SSAS) on the other server. It costs more in SQL licensing but you get to fully utilize both servers, at the cost of degraded performance in the event of a failover.

Is there a best practice for multi location server setups including mac mail server?

Afternoon all,
Last year I setup a client with Snow Leopard Server including hosting his mail on the server with Mac Mail Server and calendaring. He now has plans to open other sites with the same setup, how can this be done using Mac Server? The implementation of a new server on the new site would be straight forward my concerns / question are:
1. How would the two servers communicate?
    a.)Do they need to communicate?
3. How will mail across the two sites work?
    a.) How will DNS work for email internally?
    b.) How will DNS work for emai externally?
4. How will calendaring work across the two sites?
Is Mac Server the best platform for moving ahead with this type of business need?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Anthony

Camelot,
many thanks for the speedy reply. Your comments are very helpful thank you, if I may I will give you some for information and some other questions.
The offices will be from 5 miles to 25 miles apart, the new office and ones that follow will be considered as branches of the main office for example the company name is Sunflower and it serves area 1, then new will office will serve area 2 and so on. So in theory I could leave the main server domain and mail mx record as sunflower and then add further servers as 2.sunflower.com, 3.sunflower.com as domains and mx records? This would then provide unique mail records and users within the organisation such as [email protected] and [email protected], which doesnt look to good I would prefer all users to be name@sunflower how can this be acheived?
With regard to user activity in the whole users will be fixed but their will be floaters such as managers and the owners that may at times float from one office to the other and would beneift from logging into any machine and getting their profile.
I have thought about VPN's as I have acheieved this type of setup with Microsoft server products, I have found speed issues in some cases, how can this be acheived using OS X, are there any how to docs around? In the Microsoft setup I acheived this using netgear VPN Firewalls which ofcourse adds an overhead, can this be acheived using OS X propietary VPN software?
So ultimatley I would prefer to have the one domain without subs "sunflower.com" and users to be able to login to their profiles from either location. The main location now will remain as headoffice and the primary location and the new will be satelites.
I hope that covers all of your other question, again many thanks for your comments and time.
Kind Regards
Anthony

Best Practices for multi-switch MDS 9124 Impelementations

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any links to best-practices guides, or any experience, building mutli-swtich fabrics with the Cisco MDS 9124 or similar (small) switches? I've read most of the FibreChannel books out there and they all seem pretty heavy on theory and FibreChannel protocol operations but lack when it comes to real-world deployment scenarios. Something akin to the Case Studies sections a lot of the CCIE literature has, but anything would be appreciated.
Regards,
Meredith Shaebanyan

Hi Meridith
www.Whitepapers.zdnet.com has links to good reading. It has links to items like:
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx_san_cfg_technote.pdf is probably a typical SAN environment these days. It's basic and just put your 9124's in where the switches are.
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/hub_articles/san_fundamentals.pdf is for bigger SANs such as DR, etc.
Things to consider with 9124's are:
They can break so keep a good current backup on a tftp/ftp/scp server.
Consider that if you have all the ports used, the two 8 port licences are not going to work on a replacement switch as they are bound to your hostid. The vendor that sold the switch should be able to get replacements quickly but you will lose time with them.
Know exactly what the snmpserver command does as if you have your 9124 replaced and you load your backup config and you use Fabric Manager, it won't be able to manage the 9124 unless you change the admin password with snmpserver.
9124/9134's don't have enough Buffer Credits to expand beyond about 10 km.
Any ISL's used between switches should always be at least two and use Port Channels where possible.
The 9124 or 9124e or 9134 are great value based switches. I keep a spare for training and emergencies. We use them in a core/edge solution and I am very satisfied with them. I have only had one failure with Cisco switches in the last 5 years and it was a 9140 that sat around for far too long doing nothing. The spare meant we were up and running in 30 minutes from the time we noticed the failure and got to the data centre. As there were two paths, no one actually noticed anything. My management system alerted me.
Remember to make absolutely sure that any servers attached to the SAN have multipathing software. The storage array vendors (HDS, EMC, etc) can sell you the software such as HDLM or Powerpath. You can use an independent solution such as Veritas DMP. Just don't forget to use it.
Follow the guidelines in the two documents and get some training as the MDS training is very good indeed. 5 days training and you will be confident about what to do in any sized SAN including Brocade and McData.
A small SAN is just as satisfying as a large one. If in doubt, get a consultant to tell you what to do.
Is that what you was after? I hope it was not too simple.

Best Practice for Host Named Site Collections and Web Apps

Looking for advice on setting up the host named site collections. If I am reading many of the technet articles and blogs correctly I should 1) have only 1 top level web app for host named site collections and 2) not have a host header for that web
app. If that's correct I am looking for advice. We have 7 separate domains that we support in our farm. Currently each of those domains is divided into web applications based on the domain, *.contoso, *.trains.com, *.bakers.com, etc.
Is the concept now that all of the host named site collections fall under that one web app? How do we deal with the SSL for each of those separate domains which all have their own certificates?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
NLewis

Yes, for creating host named site collections, first you create a host header less web app and then create host named site collections under that web app. However this is only for the cases where all the host named site collections ends in one domain. So
you can create host named site collections as intranet.contoso.com, my.contoso.com, portal.contoso.com etc as they are all ending in *.contoso.com.
As per your environment, if you have web apps which caters to different domains like *.contoso.com, *.trains.com, *.bakers.com, you need to create separate web apps as they are all ending in different domains. Then you can have a separate wildcard SSL certificate
for each of those web apps.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

What is best practice for multi camera edit with differing lengths?

I have three cameras that took video of an engagement party. Camera A and B took it all (with some early extra material exclusive to each camera). Camera C took some, then stopped, then took more.
So I have four sets of clips - A and B which are complete, then C then D.
Should I create sequence 1 with A, B and C synchonised, then create sequence 2 with A, B and D synchronised, then sequence 3 with sundry early non-multi camera clips, plus sequence 1 plus sequence 2 then late non-multi camera clips?
Or can I synchronise A, B and C, then on the same timeline synchronise A, B and D? I'm concerned that the second synchronisation will put C out of sync.
What is the best way to approach this?
Thanks in advance.

A and B which are complete, then C then D.
I think you're looking at this in the wrong way. You have only three cameras, A, B and C, but you don't really have a D camera, as those are just other clips from camera C. You might call them C1 and C2 if you like, but calling them D seems to be confusing the issue, as it's still only three cameras, and three shots to choose from when cutting the sequence. (Except for the gap between C clips, where you will have only the A and B shots to choose.)
You can absolutely sync all the clips form camera C on the same sequence as A and B. And it will probably be easier to do so.

Best Practices for Forms within Site Studio Templates

Last summer our university redesigned our entire website using site studio. We only use the content server for the SiteStudio add on. During the redesign, we found that it wasn't clear how we were supposed to migrate our current web forms (applications, payment forms, etc) to sitestudio. Our current workaround is to place the form within the content server, and have it submit data to a cgi (perl,php) placed on a separate web server. We wrap the backend of the form within an html template that looks like our sitestudio templates so that it appears to the end user that they are still on our website.
Obviously, this is not ideal. I have been reading documentation on how to use the content server to host JSP files. The jsp files run flawlessly if they are accessed via the weblayout folder directly. I have not yet found a solution that will allow me to wrap my jsp forms within our existing sitestudio templates.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or come up with an alternate solution to this problem?

Thanks, I appreciate your taking time to find the precise answer. Just today this bit me again.
I have a need to modify the ComboBox template to italicize placeholder text. That's a easy thing to do; however, now that I've created a new template I have to name it and add a Style={StaticResource MyNewStyle} to ALL the comboboxes in my app.
If I leave my new template unnamed - to override the default - none of the theme resource changes that I already have in place are picked up by the existing ComboBoxes, and they revert to their default look.
There's clearly something wrong in the way I'm doing it or the way it's implemented.

Best practice for a site with a lot of images?

"bottomsec") with named external images that will stay the same.
Any help is appreciated on staying up to date with this kind of

Best practice for optimizing processing of big XMLs?

All,
What is the best practice when dealing with large XML files ... (say couple of MBs).
Instead of having to read the file from the file system everytime a static method is run, what would be the best way in which the program reads the file once and then keeps it in memory. So the next time it would not have to read and parse it all over again?
Currently my code just read the file in the static method like ...
public static String doOperation(String path,...) throws Exception
try{
String masterFile = path+"configfile.xml";
Document theFile = (Document)getDocument(masterFile);
Element root = theFile.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nl = root.getChildNodes();
// ... operations on file
Optimization tips and tricks most appreciated :-)
Thanks,
David

The best practice for multi-megabyte XML files is not to have them at all.
However if you must, presumably you don't need all of the information in your XML, repeatedly. Or do you? If you need a little bit of it here, then another little bit of it there, then yet another little bit of it later, then you shouldn't have stored your data in one big XML.
Sorry if that sounds unhelpful, but I'm having trouble imagining a scenario when you need all the data in an XML document repeatedly. Perhaps you could expand on your design?

Best Practices for Setting up a Windows 2012 R2 STD Domain Controller in a Remote Site

So I'm looking for an article or writeup similar to the "Adding Domain Controllers in Remote Sites" TechNet article but for Windows Server 2012 STD R2. Here is my scenario:
1. I want to setup the domain controller at Site A where the primary domain controller is located. The primary domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2.
2. Once the DC is setup I plan on leaving it on our network for a few days before shipping it to remote Site B for installation
Other key items:
1. The remote Site B will have a different IP range than Site A but will be connected to Site A via a single VPN tunnel. All the DCs that replicate with each other are on the same domain.
2. The 2012 DC that I setup for Site B (same domain in same forest) will be a DHCP, DNS, and WSUS server all replicating to the primary DC at Site A
Questions:
1. What items can I setup while it's at Site A without effecting or conflicting with the existing network and domain controller? Can I setup a scope once the DHCP role is added?
2. All of our DCs replicate through Sites and Services, do I have to manually add this to our primary DC for the new DC going to remote Site B? Or when does this happen automatically when I promote the DC?
All and all I'm just looking for a list of Best Practices for 2012 or a Step by Step Guide. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your posting.
When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

Best Practice for SRST deployment at a remote site

What is the best practice for a SRST deployment at a remote site? Should a separate router such as a 3800 series be deployed for telephony in addition to another router to be deployed for Data? Is there a need for 2 different devices?

Hi Brian,
This is typically done all on one ISR Router at the remote site :)There are two flavors of SRST. Here is the feature comparison;
SRST Fallback
This feature enables routers to provide call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones if they lose connection to remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified Communications Manager installations or if the WAN connection is down. When Cisco Unified SRST functionality is provided by Cisco Unified CME, provisioning of phones is automatic and most Cisco Unified CME features are available to the phones during periods of fallback, including hunt-groups, call park and access to Cisco Unity voice messaging services using SCCP protocol. The benefit is that Cisco Unified Communications Manager users will gain access to more features during fallback ****without any additional licensing costs.
Comparison of Cisco Unified SRST and
Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
â¢ First supported with Cisco Unified CME 4.0: Cisco IOS Software 12.4(9)T
â¢ IP phones re-home to Cisco Unified CME if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. CME in SRST allows IP phones to access some advanced Cisco Unified CME telephony features not supported in traditional SRST
â¢ Support for up to 240 phones
â¢ No support for Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway registration during fallback
â¢ Lack of support for alias command
â¢ Support for Cisco UnityÂ® unified messaging at remote sites (Distributed Exchange or Domino)
â¢ Support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Basic Automatic Call Distributor (BACD), Call Park, softkey templates, and paging
â¢ Support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0 on same computer
â¢ No support for secure voice in SRST mode
â¢ More complex configuration required
â¢ Support for digital signal processor (DSP)-based hardware conferencing
â¢ E-911 support with per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for IP phones (Cisco Unified CME 4.1 only)
Cisco Unified SRST
â¢ Supported since Cisco Unified SRST 2.0 with Cisco IOS Software 12.2(8)T5
â¢ IP phones re-home to SRST router if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. SRST allows IP phones to have basic telephony features
â¢ Support for up to 720 phones
â¢ Support for Cisco VG248 registration during fallback
â¢ Support for alias command
â¢ Lack of support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Park, and BACD
â¢ No support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0
â¢ Support for secure voice during SRST fallback
â¢ Simple, one-time configuration for SRST fallback service
â¢ No per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for SCCP Phones (E911 is a new feature supported in SRST 4.1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html
These SRST hardware based restrictions are very similar to the number of supported phones with CME. Here is the actual breakdown;
Cisco 880 SRST Series Integrated Services Router
Up to 4 phones
Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router
Up to 8 phones
Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router
Up to 25 phones
Cisco 2811 Integrated Services Router
Up to 35 phones
Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router
Up to 50 phones
Cisco 2851 Integrated Services Router
Up to 100 phones
Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router
Up to 350 phones
Cisco CatalystÂ® 6500 Series Communications Media Module (CMM)
Up to 480 phones
Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router
Up to 730 phones
*The number of phones supported by SRST have been changed to multiples of 5 starting with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(15)T3.
From this excellent doc;
