Looking for some advice.

Hi. Hope this is right forum. First post. A brief background. Years ago (2007-2008) I created a web portfolio for school. First it was in HTML (Dreamweaver) and then Flash. I hadn't really touched it in years and decided this past couple of months, after playing in the medium again, to get back into wed design, 3d, and digital content creation. That said, I went in and updated both the HTML and Flash versions with the knowledge I currently have, limited though it is. I now would like to go forward and build a completely new site and teach myself HTML, JavaScript, and WebGL along the way (possibly before hand). Hopefully I'll get working on the new site before the end of the year. In the mean time, I'm using my old site as a stop-gap measure. I've also taken books out from the library to begin journey into the above mentioned languages.
This all said, I'm looking for some advice on what direction I should go next...look into... Does my current objective seem reasonable? Also, could anyone give feedback on what I did wrong and what I've done right on my old site. I think, as far as what went wrong, the Flash page is just too large. No one wants to wait so long for it to load. I think I got carried away with it. Also, too many sound effects. That said, I think the HTML site was constructed in an "old-fashion" way. No one makes sites like that anymore. I basically set it up in Photoshop, sliced it, and assembled it in Dreamweaver. The end result is a bunch of tables in HTML? A friend suggested I look into a CMS (?) like WordPress?
Here's my current site: http://www.personal.kent.edu/~mstingle/
Constructive feedback on what I did right and wrong would be great. And, where I should be looking next for rebuild of my portfolio.
Cheers.

WebGL is still experimental. Most browsers don't fully support it yet.
http://caniuse.com/webgl
The current trend is Responsive Web Design -- layouts that work in all devices (mobile, tablet and desktop). This technology relies on CSS layouts (no tables) with media queries for different viewport widths. Below is a crude example built with the FluidGrid Layouts feature in DW CS6 or CC:
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html -- resize your browser's viewport to see it in action.
Flash is dead on the web now because the world's most popular mobile & tablet devices don't support it. Animations are mostly being built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. See Adobe Edge Animate.
If you're not a skilled coder and just want a basic static web site, Adobe Muse might be all you need. http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html That said, Muse cannot support server-side programming so you can't use it for advanced features like CMSs, blogs, etc...
If you're a Creative Cloud member, you can use Behance & ProSite to build & share your portfolio online.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/behance-community.html
http://prosite.com/
In terms of your own site, ask yourself how much content & which features it will need to support in the coming months/years. If it's going to be a relatively small site (under 20 pages), a static HTML site is probably all you need. IMO, WordPress -- a dynamic CMS built with PHP & MySql databases -- would be overkill. However, if you plan to make your site into a blog for example, then a dynamic CMS is an option to consider. WordPress isn't the only kid on the block either. There's also Drupal, Joomla!, and many more...

Querying CMS tables for users' security, history & favorites

Hello,
We are running BOBJ over a BW environment, and we've been asked to help design a Webdynpro interface that reads a user's security credentials in both BW and BOBJ servers and pulls in all reports, Bex or BOBJ, that they have access to.
To do this, we would need to query the CMS tables for:
All reports a user is authorized to view
Groups a user is associated with
User's History
User's Favorites
Does anyone have suggestions? I've researched Query Builder, but I'm not sure if it can help us, as it accesses three virtual tables instead of the physical tables in the CMS. The option I am guessing we will need to use is SDK.
I'm fairly new to both BW and BOBJ, so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Scott

Hello Scott,
Did you check the possibility of using Audit universe and reports? Please check below link for some useful sample files.

CMS Help!

Hello,
I am a middle of the road developer - not an expert, not a
newbie. I have had more clients ask me to be able to update their
sites in their own. I have had some clients use Contribute - but
then they are limited to just the pages that are html and as well,
limited to the one computer that the software is located on.
I have seen some larger developer who are using content
management systems to develop the majority of thier websites - one
system is ExpressionEngine from pmachine.com. I have done some
administrative sections for clients with ASP/MSSQL, so I could
realistically write my own CMS, but do I want to or am I just
recreating the wheel so to speak? If I create my own, I would be
more comfortable with ASP, but is it better to write it in PHP?
I have one particular client that uses a backend MS SQL
database (it is a doctor's office) that we hope eventually we can
hook up to for the web site, but at this point, we have to have the
two separate. So at this point, I want to have a CMS for them that
is MS SQL based - but the more research I do, the more I see PHP
and MySQL being used for CMS. Is there a reason for using one
language over the other? I think PHP is becoming more industry
standard, but MS SQL is a more powerful database. (can I write it
in PHP with a MS SQL database?)
I also have a new set of clients that need similar sites that
would be best run with a CMS. I want to be able to offer different
design templates for them to choose from (templates or different
css files??), have the basic pages set up that they all will
probably need - but also be able to offer them the ability to add
their own pages, forms, mailing lists, forums, etc. Also, I don't
need a user-friendly interface to get it set up, but would need a
very user-friendly interface for the clients to do their updating.
Any advice here?
On top of it all, I have two clients that I would like to set
up their sites with a CMS, but they also both need to be able to
have online ordering. I have set this up with Web Assist's shopping
cart - so I can do it from my end, but can it be integrated into a
CMS. I like to have control over the products and how they come up,
and in building the database - so again, I should build my own -
but I thought if I can find a solution that will work for a variety
of client and is basically prebuilt that I can customize, that
would be a big asset to me.
Oh, and is it better to have a CMS that is database driven or
that it html based? Searchability?
I don't mind a large learning curve for a CMS, but really
want to start out with one that is highly recommended, that I can
customize if I need to, and hopefully will work with a dreamweaver
template/design, will stay around - or something that I can still
use if they are not around, and will work with all these different
situations (and I would like to win the lottery too - which is more
likely?) I know there are hughly expensive CMS programs out there -
I would of course love to find a free one that I can customize, but
I don't mind paying ($100 - 250) per site (but not paying each
month) I would love any recommendations!! Does anyone have a web
design firm that uses a solution for their clients and that they
are happy with??
Sorry for all the questions - the more I research, the more
confused I get!!
Julie

Maybe you can use Typo3
http://typo3.org/ - its free. I'm
going to use a
CMS-system myself because I'm going to make a big project too
so I have been
studying this software the last few days and it's looks
really great.

How do I get around global script protection in my CMS?

We have global script protection enabled on our CF server. I am the admin with full rights. The tags it scans for and replaces with "invalidTag" are these, which are located in the neo-security.xml file:
object|iframe|embed|xss|script|javascript|applet|meta
However, we ocassionally introduce these tags into pages controlled by our CMS, which of course go into a database. When that happens the tags are replaced with "invalidTag".
I want and need script protection enabled to prevent against hackers, but I also want to be able to add these tags to our local CMS. What is the best way around this? Right now, I actually had to remove "object" and "embed" from the list it scans against, but I feel like this defeats the purpose.
When I Googled this issue I saw a couple of hacks that had something to do with re-writing the tag after it was sent into the database, but that seems kind of polish to me. I'm wondering if I'm missing some simple trick to get around this. But then I guess if I could, a hacker could.
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think you said it succinctly yourself: 'I actually had to remove "object" and "embed" from the list it scans against, but I feel like this defeats the purpose'. I think it's a matter of weighing the risks and the benefits, and then making a choice.

Not able to connect to older version of CMS from Crystal report 2008

When i try to open a report kept in platform/Enterprise (XI r2 CMC) from my crystal report it says that "Access denied. you cannot log on to an older version of the CMS."
I need to copy these reports to a differnt box. please advice.
Arka

Hi,
As you are in XIR2 Enterprise version so, you can use the Import wizard to import the report.
You can create BIAR file using the Import wizard and then in the destination system use the Import wizard to import the reports from the BIAR file.
You can get more information in the admin guide, from the below site:

CMS is not started, giving up while Insatlling Business Objects XI 3.0

Hi
I am trying to install Business Objects XI 3.0 in Linux. But it is failing at 55% all the time. I checked the log at that time and it is like
*[info] Return code from cmslogon.jar: 1*
*[info] ... waited for 160 seconds ...*
*=== [1249047696] Begin: Execution of Java: -jar "/bobje/BO1/setup/utils/cmslogon/cmslogon.jar" "pokcbsapdb13:6400" Administrator "" secEnterprise*

and this is repeating till 210 seconds
I have opted for this steps while installing
1. New enterprise install ( enable severs after installation)
2. Default ports
3. Use existing database(oracle).
4. Use existing Java application server, do not deploy web applications.
Please help with your suggestion.

Hi Tim,
I already try installing with MySql and I can see again these messages in my installation log file.
At the moment SAP Support can not give any advice to resolve this problem, do you have any idea why this can be?? and if somebody know anything about the error message that said "method amibiguos" because i believe there is the problem.
These are the resolution sending by SAP, I already try this but still the same.
Symptom
Segmentation fault during the CMS initialization phase of the install
Core file may be created in the <bobje> directory and install will abort
Gdb output of the core file shows the following:
#0 0xf63cdeee in process_next_block () from <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/libWrapCryptoC.so
Reproducing the Issue
1. Launch installation of XIR3 or XIR3.1 on Linux running on AMD Quad Core Opteran chipset
2. Monitor the installation and notice that at approximately 55% during the install the CMS initialization phase will begin
3. CMS initialization will throw a segmentation fault and the installation will abort
Cause
The issue has been identified as a product defect and tracked under ID ADAPT01258674. The defect is in a 3rd party library which is embedded in Business Objects XI3.1 release.
Resolution
Launch the Business Objects XI3.1 installation on Linux.
Wait for the installer to extract the libWrapCryptoC.so file under <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86 directory. This will happen well before the install reaches 55% completion.
While the install is running, and before the CMS initialization begins, replace the libWrapCryptoC.so under the <install location>/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86directory with the modified file (see attached).
Let the install continue and you will see the CMS initialize successfully.
The file is uploaded on the SAP site.
Thanks.

Import files into bridge from a CMS - best practice

Hi All,
i am trying to come up with the simplest solution for the following:
we have a CMS in which our content is managed and edited.
the content editor might like to edit video files that reside in our asset management system.
our editing tool is Adobe Premiere.
My thought was to transfer the video file along with its metadata and edit instructions to an FTP server from our asset repository and then transfer these files into the video editing local environment using bridge. after editing the file - it should be transferred back into the asset repository via FTP server or such.
it seems the way to this would be to extend the bridge functionality using the java script SDK, but i would love to know if there is a best practice solution before we start detailed design and development.
your help is highly appreciated and thanks in advance,
Deena

Not sure what advice you have been given and how you have interpreted it.
You are of course referring to im6 here since you can't drag projects from im08 to iDVD.
I don't make many DVD's anymore and may well be wrong here but I'm not aware that dragging an im6 project to iDVD is any different than using share/iDVD and I'm wondering if the advice relates to exporting from im6 and then importing the exported movie into iDVD which is indeed a different workflow.

"Invalid CMS Connection" Error during DS 4.2 SP2 Installation

Hi Everybody,
Can anyone shed the light on the following dead end issue we are facing during Data Service 4.2 SP 2 Add On the EXISTING BOBI 4.1 SP2
( compatibility is confirmed by SAP through OSS Incident).
Environment :
Existing Distributed Architecture of BOBI 4.1 SP 2 i..e CMS DB Oracle on One Host and BOBI 4.2 SP2 on Another Host
Adding : Data Services 4.2 SP2 on Separate Host
OS : Linux RED HAT 6.3 (VMware)
At the initial Information Gathering Phase of   Data Services Installation I face the following issue at the section of " Enter CMS Name " :
   - We entered Physical / Virtual server name   with and without FQDN i.e. Current CMS Host
   - Next is Admin and Password i.e. Administrator and Password of Existing CMS
We get the following System Response / Error :
Invalid CMS Connection Information.
Installer could not detect a running Data Services Administrator Service with
the specified CMS connection information.
and no valid local SIA node was found.
Installer can not continue.
Please fix this problem by:
1. Making sure a Data Services Administrator Service is up and running with the specified CMS;
2. or creating a valid local SIA node to point to the specified CMS.
It seems this is Known Issue and I see two notes :
1837296 - ERROR: No valid local SIA nodes exist for the given CMS connection information - Data Services 4.x
                   - Not applicable as this is for IPS based installation
1682686 - Cannot connect to the CMS during installation of Data Services or Information Steward
                   - This note suggests to enter the TEMP variable pointing to location of Log Files Storing the Installation Logs
                      accordingly we did set " export TEMP=/usr/sap/<SID>/BOBI " as Temp variable but same error persists with the same message !!
                   - This note says valid for " DS 4.1 "
                         ..seems SAP Fall behind with the Rapid Frequency of DS Releases and even in this note there's extremely brief so called solution
                         ...Defining TEMP should solve this issue in this case as per the note but, it is not solving issue at all !!
In addition to define TEMP Variable to resolve this, following verification, further attempts are made to fix it :
#1. I am able to ping from Data Services Host to CMS Host and there's no Firewall blocking this connection
#2. Using IP in place of Host Name ( FQDN or without FQDN ) does NOT resolve
#3. With Administrator / Password mentioned - log in is possible
#4. Added entries in /etc/hosts of CMS Host and in DS Host ( cross entries )
#5 There's a Thread -
              http://scn.sap.com/thread/3469916 -- and as per that following sap note 1682686 resolves this specific issue but, in our case it does not !
In short : as of now we are at dead end !!
Pl. share your knowledge, inputs - Thanks.
Thanks,

====================================================================
It is puzzling that without the completion of Data Services Installation why the DS Installer is expecting ' DS.Admin services " running on 'client' ...this is an extension or add on of Data Services (to be installed on separated linux host) and communication is supposed to be from DS Host to CMS Host !! Where is the scope of client here ??
We do see that connection to CMS Host is possible ..I found few more notes related to this ( not for the identical OS+DB+DS ver. i.e. Linux+Oracle+DS 4.2 SP2) e.g. 1824068, 1632561 but, none of it helps to resolve the issue.
Thanks,

MX to CS5 Lost text with CMS

Hello
I am trying to edit a flash file that was done in MX. I only have CS5.
When i open the file, save and export there is a slight problem. Once published and uploaded, a dynamic text box which is meant to load text from the CMS appears blank.
Is there something which can be lost in translation when saving from MX to CS5?
Any advice or clues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Michelle

I finally worked it out.
I had to open it in CS5 and 'save as' a CS4 and then save it as a CS5. This fixed my problems.

Coldfusion CMS

Hi,
I need some advice, looking at a 3rd pary cms and would like some suggestions. I need to be able to
- have mulitlingual pages
- add child pages to the main menu
- have flexible templates so users can create the child pages.
I am looking at Mura, has anyone had any experience of this?
Thanks.
H.

Mura seems to offer what you seek, plus it's free. I only had a short experience with the Express version.
That is the demo version of the actual, standard version. I installed it on my desktop and gave it a whirl for about an hour. It's intuitive, quite easy to use, and its look-and-feel is plain and simple. That's what I like. It supports English, French and German.
I played with the demo because I had difficulty installing the standard version. But, then again, that was on Windows 2000 Pro. I finally got it to work, though, thanks to tips from Stephen Withington and his video on Mura installation.

CMS Inbox folder missed

Hi,
I am getting error Directory not found (check existence and permissions ): Inbox while click on check-in tab and also found check-in button is disabled, then found inbox folder not there in EPS folder.
I would like to know what would be the impact if once again I copy all SCA files into inbox folder, and also there shouldnt be any problem with my existing developments which are in NWDS. Luckly no activities are in pending.
Please do advice to fix the issue.
Ian

Hi,
the CMS folder includes the following subfolders:
archives
config
extract
inbox
log
scripts
as far as I know if you resave the CMS domain these folders should be recreated with the correct access rights, please rather go for this approach than creating them manually because you may face access right issues if you create the folders for the wrong users and groups .
You need to focus only on the "inbox" folder.
The other folders are for logs, or for temporary extracting operations. The archives folder is where your SCs will get created once you trigger assembly.
What you need to do is that once you have again the folder structure and the files are in the inbox, restore system state in CMS and check-in and reimport again all the softwares into each track's dev and cons.
From developers point of view it is recommended to ask them to remove and reimport their development configuration in their NWDS. Before triggering this action they need to ensure that there are no open activites.
Regarding the SC version change, it depends on how large is the change. If only the patch level differs from the original SCs, it is not a big issue, you can proceed as above described, no need to do anything in SLD. If the SP changed, then it is again the same. The need for correcting anything in SLD is only required if the release has changed, but I assume this is not the case so I don't go into details.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Ervin

How to Install CMS in a current site

I m a novice and had a look at previous CMS suggestions but
they were outdated, i wonder if anyone can signpost me to the right
place on how to install/set up CMS in a current site, this is a
small site and a voluntary one too, so i need cheap & cheerful
( and easy to follow) CMS to be put in.....
http://www.lisieuxtrust.org.uk
Many thanks for ur advice and attention ... hope to hear from
ya folks!

You don't really put a CMS in a site. You put a site into a
CMS.
There are dozens of options. For small sites, Wordpress is
popular. For
larger sites, Joomla is another popular one. But, really,
there are as many
CMS products as there are stars in the sky, so you might have
to do some
research before picking one.

Selecting first N characters when querying the CMS

I am trying to retrieve only the first 6 characters of the SI_KEYWORDS field when querying the CMS from within the SDK. When testing within QueryBuilder the following in bold does not work, although LEFT is a command for achieving this in SQL. Can someone help me to know if this is possible within QueryBuilder SQL and if so how to achieve it?
Select LEFT(SI_KEYWORD,6) as keyword, SI_NAME From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHere SI_KIND='webi'
and SI_KEYWORD != '' and SI_KEYWORD != 'Hidden' and SI_KEYWORD != 'Auditor'
ORDER BY keyword, SI_NAME
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Ted,
Thanks for your reply. I understand the querying of the CMS better after reading it.
We are utilizing the keywords field and the description field to obtain some metadata about our reports that I need to access from java code. Unfortunately, we have 4 different pieces of metadata we want to store and only the 2 fields in which to store them, so we are using delimiters in the keywords field to separate the values. For example, we have "value1value2" as the keyword field in one report, but in another report if value2 is blank we simply have "value1". This works well as we just parse the delimiters in java and we can store the 2 different values in the one keyword field. The part that is not working well with this approach, though, is ordering the results. We want to order the reports by value1 and then by SI_NAME. Because some of the reports have value1value2 and others just have value1 it throws this ordering off if I use "ORDER BY SI_KEYWORD, SI_NAME".
I've been looking for ways to get around this without doing a re-sort in Java and this is all I could think of:
1. Are there some additional user-defined fields that we could expose in the report properties in the CMC, and then retrieve via Query Builder / SDK? Something like SI_UDF1, SI_UDF2, etc. All we could find were keywords and description.
2. Using a SUBSTR or LEFT-like function on the keywords field so that it only gets value1 for sorting purposes only, but still retrieve the entire keywords field in the SELECT. I understand now based on your explanation that this will not work as (if I understand correctly) it would modify the report object in the CMS to set the keyword to the truncated value.
Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I know I can always bite the bullet and do the sorting java-side once I get the resultset back, but I was hoping to avoid the performance hit of doing that.
Thanks,

I am looking for a CMS for FM structured 11, is there any recommendation? Does Adobe Creative Cloud work as one CMS platform?

My requirement is quite basic and common. I am looing for a CMS to manage the books, fm files, dita files, pictures and glossaries and the publication, is there any recommendation? The cheaper the better.
BTW, I received the advertisement from Adobe for its Creative Cloud, can this work as a CMS? Anyone using it?

My team need a CMS to end our off-line development. Could you kindly give me some advice on that, including technical approach and cost? Thank you.
We are a user manual developing team in China mainland, using FM 11 structured mode. We had had an CMS platform called XDOC, but because of a company acquisition, we no longer has it. So we extracted the customized structured fm files offline to continue our local development. But now team getting bigger, so I wander if there is any better choice. (I am not sure if XDOC is the best choice. It might be too big too expensive for us.)
Here is our requirement:
1. Mutual share of our working files, checkout and checkin management (or directly online development);
2. Abbreviation and glossery management. We need to manage a glossery bank in the platform and when we type the term in the fm file, the glossery will automatically pop-up for choice, or sth. like this;
3. Format integration. If the platform can integrate and solidate our format online so that we no longer need to arrange the format offline it would be a plus.
4. Publication management. If the platform can publish our output (e.g., PDF) online, it would be a plus.
That's all, thank you in advance!!!!!
