Client can't edit site with Contribute CS3

I put a site online last week (www.dunelakeslodge.co.nz) and
supplied my
client with Contribute CS3 to update it, supplying her a
connection key.
She is connecting OK, but when she tries to edit a page she
gets a
message saying she "can't edit this page because Dave Addison
(that's
me) is already editing it. Please contact blah, blah...".
I have connected to the site myself with Contribute 3, and
got a similar
error: "you can't edit this site because you are already
editing it on
another computer"!!
It gave me the option to "unlock" the page, which I selected,
and I was
then able to edit the page. However, my client still can't.
Anyone got a solution to this?
thanks
Dave

I'm sure someone here will be able to help, but just curious
if you've tried
posting in the Contribute forum at all?
Take care,
Shane H

Edit blog with Contribute CS3

Hi, i've made my web site using iWeb and uploaded it to my iDisk using iWeb
I have a blog page made with iWeb
can I use Adobe Contribute CS3 to modify and create blog entries on my site?
I ask because I have a friend who i'd like to have a blog on the site but don't want to hassle of syncing two different copies of iweb
any help appreciated, D

contribute seems to be able to connect to your .mac web hosting
My impression is that it cannot connect to the space used by iWeb, only to iDisk/Sites, used by Homepage. Is that right?
any ideas on how to edit iweb blogs without using iweb? i know its a tough one
I can't imagine there is any practical way to do this. You should use blogger or some other blogging system if you need that capability.

Help with Contribute CS3

I'm working for a gallery with Contribute CS3, and we have recently had the Mac updated to Mountain Lion. Unfortunately, Contribute will no longer open. When I try to launch the program, a dialog box pops up and reads "No Document types have been found. The application will exit now." To add fuel to this fire, no one here seems to be able to locate the original install discs. Is this something I can fix, or is it time to update the program entirely?
Thanks in advance,
Melanie Davis

I don't think that CS3 is going to run on Mountain Lion. You'll probably need to upgrade at this point.

When using Firefox I cannot signin to sites, but can get to sites with tabs on toolbar but cannot signout whe signin, I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but still have the same problem.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Can't edit editable regions with Contribute

Have created some templates with Dreamweaver 8, left/right
columns are clearly marked editable, yet my contribute users aren't
able to edit those columns and the screen display is distorted
(have to scroll down to see center column). Any suggestions on what
I need to be looking for to correct?
example of left column not editing:
http://www.rochesterpubliclibrary.org:8080/kids/index.html
example of left and right not editing
http://www.rochesterpubliclibrary.org:8080/teens/index.html

I had someone help - my pages were looking for
css/columns.css as hidden at design time, but I was using a full
URL
http://ww....:8080. Once we added
that URL to Design Time Style Sheets (under CSS panel, right click
to get Design Time ) as file as HIDE at Design time, columns became
editable in Contribute. Let me know if that doesn't make sense and
I'll try to explain better.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Contribute CS3

Good Afternoon,
I have Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition, but a colleague located
interstate is using DreamWeaver MX 2004. I would like him to design
a dreamweaver template for use in Contribute CS3. Are there any
known compatibility issues with doing this, or any DreamWeaver CS3
features that we would maybe miss out on?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think this would be a problem, since you can
administer the site from within Contribute. The template souirce
code hasn't changed, so Contribute will find the templates and the
editable regions.
You could always decide to turn of the compatiblity in
dreamweaver if there are problems with the cheking in and out
system.

Dreamweaver CS3 incompatible with Contribute CS3

All my Conribute connections no longer work with DW CS3 &
CT CS3. Why?
1. I have correctly set up a remote connection in Contribute.
The contribute connection to the website IP is established.
2. The FTP connection from DW to the website IP is also
correctly established and working.
3. The connection information is identical for both
applications and verified.
4. PROBLEM: When trying to set up the Contribute connection
from within DW, the following error msg appears: "Dreamweaver could
not connect to the remote server. You cannot perform Contribute
administration tasks without a connection to the remote server.
Please fix the remote connection before proceeding."
5. NOTE: When the "Administer Site in Contribute" (or Test)
button is clicked in DW, it appears that several files are being
loaded to the remote server before the error message appears.
Subsequent attempts at clicking the buttons seems to load more
files. Very weird.
6. FACTS: There is no problem with the remote connection from
either DW or CT.
QUESTION: What's up with this message? Why is there a failure
to communicate between these two application that wasn't there
before?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Chris Kane

Contribute Connections have always sucked and break for a
variety of reasons. There is little acknowledgment or support from
Adobe on this issue, and many threads offer cryptic server settings
that should only be employed by a qualified web administrator.
You can sometimes solve the problem by trying some different
FTP settings.
In Dreamweaver Remote Info settings:
Passive FTP ON/OFF, or Server Compatibility--FTP Performance
optimization ON/OFF
In Contribute Advanced FTP settings, try toggling the
settings ON/OFF
Be willing to blow away your previous Administrative
Settings, so you will need to rebuild all of the roles,
permissions, and users....

Blazeds client can't keep up with realtime updates = discard?

Hi all,
I'm doing an application that provides realtime data to users via blazeds, the flex client uses a long pooling mechanism to get stream of data from the server. The question that my team has is, if multiple clients connected to a topic and one of the clients couldn't keep up with the rate of data produced, will the message be kept in blazeds until that client can retrieve it? If it is, then this will create a bottle neck for that particular client and will burden the server as more and more messages have to be kept in the server. Is there anyway to set an expiry time on a message and discard those messages?
Thanks in advance.

I am also facing tghe same problem today. I cannot believe I
was unable to find a single help on this. i've been trying many of
the options but things are getting worse and worse. Now I can't
publish from Dreamweaver and Contribute also!! Why Adobe doesn't
support the ones who upgrade their software?

I'll first start by saying that my client has been happily
editing and publishing files since February. Recently, she was on
vacation so I made a couple of minor updates using Dreamweaver. Now
she's back, and is no longer able to publish. I'm not sure it's
related. The error message is:
"Contribute encountered a network or file system error.
Please try the operation again, and contact the administrator if
the error continues to occur."
The problem started yesterday, but briefly corrected itself.
Now she can't publish at all. I have asked her to go step-by-step
through the process of editing files and I can see the following
activity on the server:
-- She opens the file (index.html) and the following file
appears on the server: index.html.LCK
-- She hits "publish" and the following file appears on the
server: index.html.new
-- Then the error message appears for her.
When she closes the page, the index.html.LCK page disappears,
but the index.html.new sticks around.
Interestingly, the .new file is 0k.
We turned on I/O logging, but all it does is confirm that the
PUT isn't happening. However, there are lots of complaints about
missing files on the local drive. They run Active Directory on
their network, and I'm curious if there could be some kind of
mapping problem with their user settings directories, and
Contribute is getting hung up when it tries to PUT the changes.
I'd appreciate any help troubleshooting this issue or any
tips before I call Adobe. :)
Thanks!

Blank page shown after clicking "Edit Page" in Contribute CS3

I set up a site in Dreamweaver CS3 and am trying to configure Contribute to enable users to edit the content. After setting up the site in Contribute, I browse to any page, click the "Edit Page" button and all I see is the background color of the web page and a large blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen; the content of the page is nowehere to be found. I have attached an image showing what I see after I click "Edit Page".
The site navigates and renders just fine inside of Contribute, but I am unable to Edit pages.
Is this an issue that someone has seen before? Is there perhaps something in the HTML that is preventing the page from being rendered correctly in Edit mode?
Thanks,
Brian

I discovered the problem with the site.
In the template there was an EditableRegion defined around the <body> opening tag:

<body id="research">

Once I replaced this with a TemplateParam for the id attribute of the body tag everything worked just fine.
Thank you,
Brian

Can I export/share a line file from free CC as pdf or illus cs2 file so client can view/edit?

I can't find a clear answer to this really simple question so I hope someone here can help me.
I haven't purchased my ink and slide yet, or used any of the creative cloud software. Before I do I want to make sure I understand what I can share with Line and the free level of CC. I want to use them for a particular client who is still old school. So... If I have a drawing created in Line on my ipad and a client with an older macbook pro, still running CS2 (so osx 10.6.8), and I have an ipad with Line and a free Creative Cloud membership (but no CC versions of Adobe software other than Line), is it possible to:
send her a pdf she can open and print?
send her a file she can open/edit/print in CS2?
send her anything she can open and/or edit and/or print?
Print something I can mail to her.
I guess I'm basically asking: what are my limitations for sharing/printing Line drawings with only the free CC membership?

Short answer is No.
Be aware the free level of CC is for CCStorage only. Although they don't mention it you need a Creative Cloud Subscription (which includes all their pro desktop applications) to export Vectors.
If your friend has a CC subscription you might ask her to log in using her details and transfer the files that way

Edit Photo with Adobe CS3

I have RAW pictures ( NEF ) which are displayed in the Library of LightRoom . When I want to use the "Edit with Adobe CS3" fonction, I can only select "Edit a Copy With LightRoom Adjustment" . I can never select "Edit a Copy" or "Edit Original". Why ?? Am I doing something wrong.
PS: I use Lightroom 1.1 in English.
Regards

On this subject, one of my compaints about LR is that there is (as far as I can tell) no way to 1) open a batch of photos in PS to edit and 2) if you open a file in PS to edit LR creates a new file even if you don't want one (yet). I often just want to do a quick edit and convert for Web display. There is a way to create a special action/droplet in PS to have and use in the Export dialogue box, but this seem rather unelegant and is not useful for opening to edit, when in CS3 you just select files in Bridge and Open in Camera Raw/CS3.

Upgraded to Muse CC can't edit site created in Muse CS6

I just created my first MUSE site in CS6 and was very happy until I upgraded to Muse CC. Now I can't edit the site. I really don't want to spent a day rebuilding it. What can I do?

Thanks for your reply. Problems solved. I had inadvertently locked the items
on one of the pages and could not therefore edit it. The real problem was me
being new to MUSE and not yet understanding the nuances.
Thanks

Can I edit 4k with Premiere CC 2014 on macbook ?

Now that we can edit natively with 4k... Can I use my macbook or i-mac to edit 4k?
(without needing a massive macPro set up with graphic cards etc..)
Does anyone have first hand experience editing with the new CC using just a macbook and 4k?
(i dont have 4k footage to play with yet)
thanks!
