Can't edit my front page?

When I try to edit my front page in Contribute CS5 my screen is gray with the header and I can't edit it, it is just blank. I can edit all other pages but not my front page. I need help!

Have you checked for .lck files on the server?
Dowload a free FTP-manager (Filezilla f.i.)
Search for a file named: nam-of-your-page.lck

Hi,
Please go to File->Save to disk and save your script. Send the saved script at DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com so that we can take a look.

Can not edit parts of page

Can not edit part of a web page. I can edit text and pictures in the center of the page. When I go
to the info at top or bottom of page cursor changes to a circle with a line thru it. Went to adminster website and did the unlock on the 2 files it showed. No help I am new to contribute and web flie editing.
Thanks for your help.

There's also the chance that they are include files. The newest version of Contribute can edit those on-page(assuming you have permissions to the folder they sit in) but I believe that older versions could not edit them on-page. With older version, you would need to open them directly if you know where they are.

Can't edit text on Pages - help, please!!!

Help! This seems really basic, but I have entered text and now I can't access the text to edit it. I have done it twice, once in a text box and now in a shape and have the same issue with both. The document is treating each box like a single entity and not letting me select the text.
The relevant article on this on the Pages site isn't useful. I've used Pages a fair amount before and haven't had this problem.
Thanks!

Hello Dennis, Thank you for replying.
I tried both of your suggestions. I am not sure if I am highlighting the box, but there are the little boxes that allow you to adjust the size. When I move them they shrink up the enitre paragraph to scale instead of truncating the text and keeping the text in the same size font which I am used to.
When I select the box as I am able to neither "Bring to front" nor "Unlock" are options. I am not sure if I am following the second instruction to drag the mouse from the gray margin properly though.
Thanks again for your help!

How can i edit Iweb published page to open as a Popup?

I want to edit my iWeb site so that when a link is clicked it opens a different page as a popup with no other toolbars, scrollbars etc - just the image i want to show.
I found some code online (http://www.quackit.com/html/codes/html_popup_window_code.cfm) that does this in javascript, but i do not know where in the html file this would need to go for it to force that page to open as popup.
I have text wrangler so i can edit and save the file in the right format again.
I need to be able to set up various different triggers on a web page - Its a single photo image but i want to be able to open different pop-ups depending on where the viewer clicks. I tried using a blank shape (no fill, no stroke) along with an html snippet widget. This triggers the pop-up as i want, but it also places a definite empty box over the image. I need this to be invisible. I have also read that the snippet widget is not the mpst reliable way to add code at specific places on the page.
Hence i think the best way would be to insert code into the actual page that instructs it to open as popup.
Please can someone advise me the best way to go about editing the code to get this result?
thanks
adam

thanks for the suggestions...
unfortunately, i don't understand the code enough to figure out what i need. The pop-ups you show are exactly right, but they are being triggered by smaller individual thumbnails.
That is not what i want - i need to have various trigger points for different pop-ups, placed at diferent places on a larger single image.
Imagine a photo of a crowd - each person when clicked on would open a popup showing a specific image. Its not a regularly laid out grid - and the trigger points need to be manually positioned.
I have created a blank page with the same dimensions as the graphic it contains, then published this from iweb. When i link to this it opens the page as a docked page, with all the navigation bars, scrolling bars etc, as well as a large area of empty white page below the image.
My question is really how do i edit the code of the graphic page so that it only pops open the graphic when its accessed. Surely the relevant code for that would be embedded in the page itself, and not the link that connected to it?
thanks for your patience!

Can't edit text in Pages document

Many times I have opened a Pages Word Proessing document that serves as a brochure. Today I went in to edit some of the text and I can't get a cursor to drop anywhere in the text. All the text boxes can't be edited.
What may have happened? I am using Pages '09
Mary Lou

Here's the explanation. When I transferred the document to Pages, I did a copy and paste of the text boxes and graphics. What I didn't understand was that, after they were in Pages, they would no longer need to be edited.
I have been printing the brochure from the Pages document for months. It wasn't until now that I needed to edit it. It came as a surprise to discover that in copying and pasting text boxes between these two applications, I lost the ability to edit them.
I have now selected the text from the original document and created a new text box in Pages and pasted the text into it. It can now be edited further if necessary.
Thanks for discovering where my error was.
The original brochure was created as an Appleworks Draw document and cannot be opened in Pages. Before I upgrade my iMac from OS 10.6.8 to Maverick, I need to make sure that I have created fresh Pages documents whenever I used a Draw document in Appleworks.
The dilemma is solved. Thank you.

Can we edit simultaneously in Pages for iCloud and Pages for OS X?

I know that it's possible for multiple users to edit a document in Pages for iCloud (beta). But what happens if one user is using Pages for iCloud, and another person is editing the same document in Pages for OS X? Will the changes be updated in real time? Is there a danger of creating two different documents, as sometimes happens in Dropbox?
I ask because Pages for Mac still offers more features and tools than Pages for iCloud. So some users may be able to work in the iCloud version, but at least one of wants to use the OS X version to make the final graphic tweaks and edits. Is this possible, or are we asking for trouble by using two different editions of Pages?

Well... it looks like you were right. While Pages for iCloud theoretically supports simultaneous editing, in actual practice it's very difficult. There's no way to add comments or chat (as Google Docs allows), so it's hard to discuss what each of us is doing. And certain UI elements work differently in the OS X vs. iCloud versions, so results can be unpredictable.
iWork for iCloud will only succeed when all versions of the iCloud apps (OS X, iOS and iCloud) are 100% compatible with each other. Fingers crossed.

I can't edit text in pages document

I created a poster and now it won't let me edit text....help please?? ty

Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
Now go command a (Select All)
What do you see?
Do you see any boxes around your objects with light crosses on the corners? They are locked.
click on them > Menu > Arrange > Unlock
The other possibility is you have moved the objects to the Section Master:
Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Make Master Objects Selectable
Or if you click on the text area and then see small white boxes on the corners and a group of objects moves together
Menu > Arrange > Ungroup
You have shown me only the poster, out of context and without any of the surrounding format options, so it is hard to tell anything about it. Even whether you are in Pages. It could even be a pdf file.

There are threads where they say that it's caused by a 'page link' item which points to a non-existing page (witch is the case since i removed a page by accident), but none of them show a sollution.
Thx for your response.
Johan Van Volsem

I never tried that, since it was my root page and didn't want to loose all the things that were underneath it.
I did solve the problem in a rather harsh way: i removed all my page links (portlet type = 5) from the wwpob_item$ table for the root page. Didn't know if it would work, but it did.

Can't edit my iWeb page

I have BIG BIG trouble with this web page. This is the web page:
http://web.mac.com/mamafonz/iWeb/Site/Susan%20Gross%20Educational%20Workshops.ht ml
Each workshop has a contact person. But iWeb has fouled up the email address of each contact person.
For example, The December 4 workshop contact person is
Beth Lillskau <[email protected]>
(The above was copied and pasted from my iWeb page.)
On my published web page, it says that Beth's email is <shannon@ ecentral.com>
The <shannon@ ecentral..> is the email of a workshop I did a couple of weeks ago. I deleted the information since the workshop is over. Somehow iWeb seems to want to keep old emails in like they were graphics or something!
This has happened all over the page! The emails of OTHER workshop contacts are listed with the wrong person's name.
I Web is making me crazy! Help! I need to constantly update this web page and iWeb just fouls it up.
PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

For example, The December 4 workshop contact person
is
Beth Lillskau <[email protected]>
(The above was copied and pasted from my iWeb page.)
On my published web page, it says that Beth's email
is <shannon@ ecentral.com>
For me it is correct. Your own browser is just seeing old stuff. Clear your cache.

Can I adjust size of the photos on front page of the photo album template?

When I am working on a Photo Album page, how can I make the "front page" photos larger? I am talking about the photos arranged in rows, not the photos that show in the slide show carousel. Is it a set size in the Photo Album template or is it a consequence of how large a photo I set into the page?
Also, how is "large" defined? Is it about inches, or is it about resolution?
— Lorna in Southern California

I found the large too large and the small too large.
How large do you want them Lorna?
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Michael, where did you go to check to see that the large was indeed too large and the small too large? What method of adjusting the size are you using?
If you want them really large, why don't you just
plonk the real photo on the page sized as large as
you wish, and you can always link it to its own page
with an even larger version!!
.......... Lorna says ................................................
Michael, actually I misstated in my first post. Actually I would not like the photos in the Photo page to be too large, because then no one will be motivated to click onto the See Slideshow button.
My mind is getting so crammed with input and other people's websites that I now cannot even recall with certainty which pictures I wanted larger. 8-( Oh, this is giving me a cramped-in-the-chest feeling. I had best take a break now and finally eat a legitimate meal.

Can Not Edit JSP Page

Running SJSC2.1 on XP
I have a project which uses tables and DB
I can not edit the JSP page (the tab for the Page1.jsp page has an asterisk) after the name.
The IDE can not edit the page either, I add a table column for display and the design mode shows the added column but the JSP page does not show the new column, nor does the new column show when the app is deployed..
I can edit the file with wordpad outside of the IDE
What gives???
Thanks

Actually, I did say that I am able to edit the file and save it in WordPad..
Outside of the IDE..
Thanks anyway...
I have restarted the IDE, Rebooted the system (which reboots the app server) made sure there are no "hanging" "app module" entries in the domain.xml file...
Anybody know why the "*" is shown with the filename on the SJSC Design tab..
There was also a series of very small "red somethings" to the upper left of the file name in the Files> listing
The red somethings looked like:
| | | |
| o |
I have no idea what this red something is.. I thought if might say something but even with a magnifying glass it is unreadable, if in fact the somethings is text
Thanks
any help would be appreciated...

Lots of reports with similar front page - can i use a template ?

I have a series of reports which all have a front page which displays user parameters, has a logo and date, time etc
Each report has some parameters that are the same and some that are different. I dont want to have to add and maintain a header section for each report.
Is there a way that I can define a generic front page report or template that is applied to each of the reports ?
Thanks

hello,
the reports templating does not work in the basis of re-use. when you apply a template, the content of the template is duplicated in the report and no further connection betweent he report and the template is preserved.
what you might want to look at is runtime customization. maybe you can use this feature to create the header at runtime form a single XML customization file.
thanks,
ph.

How can I Edit My Podcast? And why doesn't my new uploads show in iTunes?

My Rss feed is through soundcloud and I uploaded new files and they haven't appeared on my link in iTunes. Also, how can I edit my podcast page?

In fact your files do force a download - paste the URL into Safari's address bar and hit return - they will download rather than play inside the browser as they should. However they do play in the Store, so perhaps they've now instituted a workaround for that.
Your feed is at http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:127918759/sounds.rss
There are four episodes, the latest being 25 February; all four appear in the Store and when subscribing.
If you want to amend the contents of the 'Description' column and the text you see when you click the 'i' next to it you need to amend the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags respectively. The overall 'Description' which appears in the Store page above the episodes is carried in the 'itunes:summary' tag in the top section of the feed. If you want to amend these you will need to do so wherever you constructed the feed, presumably in Soundcloud. You cannot do so in iTunes itself, it simply reads what's in the feed.

Can't edit the text in drop down css navigation menu bar

Hi All,
I'm just setting up contribute for a client to be able to edit a particular page on their website. The page they need to edit is essentially a huge CSS menu from which customers can choose location, then product and it will show them the price per product. The menu is a hover menu so as someone progresses through the menu they reach the price.
The client needs to be able to review and amend the prices reasonably regularly and can't afford to have full blow CMS so I thought contribute might work for them. I've connected to the web page and can select the CSS menu tree but when I then go to select the text for any of the hover overs the menu disappears back down to the initial menu item i.e. the hovered menu item doesn't stay visible and so I can't amend it.
Does anyone know if this is possible to do in contribute and if so can you explain how for me please?
Thanks
Andy
PS. The page in question can be found at http://www.visionltd.co.uk/price-calculator.html

Hi,
He can try editing that web page in an external application through Contribute. So, after browsing to the web page, he can click Ctrl+Shift+E, to edit the web page in an external application, there he can change the prices, save his changes, and publish the web page.
Hope this helps.
