Contorl site access with Contribute.. Dreamweaver too??
I know I can control authoring access to my site using
Contribute, and I
do. I'm wondering if it's also possible to add some level of
security
for Dreamweaver users, so that certain users can only access
certain
folder, and/or cannot delete or edit others??
While contribute works well for small and individual files,
I'm finding
that any time my authors screw up, such as have a page using
the same
image 100 times, which then gets turned into 100 different
images by
Contribute, it's me that has to clean up after them.. and I'm
kind busy
for that stuff. If I could give team leaders Dreamweaver to
allow them
to clean up and mass delete some files, but still control
which folders
they have access to, life would be easier for me.
Thanks
Kevin

DW assumes that the user knows what they are doing most of
the time hence it
is open control. CT assumes the opposite, so the short answer
is no.

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
DaveI'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,

Has anyone tried editing an iWeb site with Contribute or Dreamweaver?
Before iWeb, I liked using Adobe Macromedia Contribute to edit the.Mac homepages. I've been giving iWeb a spin, and it seems to occupy the same place in Apple's stable as the rest of its siblings — a pre-pubescent version of Contribute, which is a subset of Dreamweaver.
I haven't yet tried it, but it seems as if the iWeb templates would be a good starting point, and Contribute/Dreamweaver would be great tools to polish the site.
I'm still confused, though, as to what the .Mac WebDAV URLs are...that's the thing that always tripped me up. Dreamweaver 8 is a better at site management, it seems, but if anyone could post a "definitive" guide on using a third-party tool, it would be much appreciated.yes you can use other websoftware to modify iweb sites either after it is on the webserver or if you save it to a folder before publishing.
I tried the demo of Dream weaver and it worked fine..also I used Rapidweaver which works too. Heck you could use anything that can edit HTML which is really just a text file.
The problem with iweb is it is using those stupid PNG files which are big and to make it worse it duplicates all your images rather than having them in a shared folder you can end up with dozens of the same image which when someone visits your site and changes pages it has to download the same image again!
pretty crazy stuff.
iweb looks nice and as long as people are viewing it with broadband you'd be ok but dialup users are "toast" even on a simple site.
I got the demo of rapidweaver which is not as intuiative but in someways is more complete and have done a 3 page site.. others are developing themes for it and also there are plugins which add alot of functionality.
at $35 USD it is cheap and if you go to http://www.screencastsonline.com there are 3 videos to show you how to use it and a discount code.
I personally thing iweb is great but has some design flaws that will need to be delt with. -
Unsure about preparing a Dreamweaver Site for use with Contribute
Recently I designed a small Dreamweaver Website (DW CS2) for
a friend and it is already successfully online. So that my friend
can manage her own website, I`ve decided to prepare this DW site
for use with Contribute, but I'm unsure about the steps involved
and what files I will need to store on the server. Is the following
roughly correct?
Step 1: Define editable regions in these html files and save
these as html files.
Step 2: Enable Contribute Compatibility in DW before I upload
to the server.
Step 3: Is setting up a Connection Key necessary for my
friend`s access?
Step 4: Upload these. Do these completely overwrite the
existing Dreamweaver html files on the server? Or should I be
saving in another file format?
Many thanks to anyone who can advise me!I sugggest these steps:
A: Dreamweaver:
1. build you site based on (a) template(s) with editable
regions
2. upload the website to the server
B: Contribute
1. create a connection
2. administer the website ( and create an admin password )
3. set the proper settings for your users (administrators,
publishers, writers), enable rollbacks
4. create a connection key fot you user with the proper role
and save that to disk
C: Dreamweaver
1. manage the site in dreamweaver
2. enable contribute compatibility (this way files get
checked in and out, so you know who is editing what)
D:
1. Sent the connection key to your user -
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. -
Intergrating Dreamweaver 8 with Contribute 3
Hi,
I've integrated Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 for use with
Contribute 3, by doing the following within the Site Definition
Window (within Dreamweaver 8):
- Setting the FTP Remote Info (Test works)
- Enabling Check In / Check Out
- Enabling 'Maintain Design Notes'
- Ticked the 'Enable Contribute compatibility' under the
Contribute option
- Clicking on 'Adminster Site in Contribute' works fine, I
can connect, adminster global options and User roles.
BUT
Whenever I check-in or check-out a website file using
Dreamweaver, I get the popup message:
"The file required for Contribute compatibility does not
exist on the server. Would you like to turn off Contribute
compatibility?"
I always say No and the upload/download works ok, but I would
like to know what is causing this message to appear?
Any pointers?
Many Thanks,
ShamsHello Graffiti,
thanks for your replie.
As you can see, I'm working on Windows 7 and using Contribute 3 -
Can you create a site map with Dreamweaver?
Greetings,
Can you create a site map with Dreamweaver?
Crawkers do not work because many of my pages are not linked.
ThanksI'm not too sure what Crawkers is, but I do not think DW has that capability out of the box. There are some web based solutions that will scan you site for you and give you a map for search engines. I choose to go with a commercial option which is pretty good from WebAssist, it's called Surveyor: http://www.webassist.com/dreamweaver-extensions/surveyor/ .

Dreamweaver CS3 will it work with Contribute CS4 Mac 2 PC
Hi I asked this same question in the contribute area of the
forum bu then thought t may be best to ask here as I wanted to know
if Contribute CS4 will work with Dreamweaver CS3?
I take it for granted that it will, I have a mac and will
create a site with Dreamweaver CS3 and then have the client who has
a PC to buy Contribute CS4, will this work okay or do I need to
create the site with a PC and with Dreamweaver CS4?I just read on the adobe website that:
"Contribute CS4 works with Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4
templates"
Does that mean it wont work with Dreamweaver CS3 templates? -
Site to Site VPN with Overlapping network and other network Access..
Hi all,
i need to setup a site to site Tunnel to a remote site. My remote site got the network which has overlapped with one of our network(192.168.10.0/24) in my site. remote site dont need to access this network(192.168.10.0/24) in my site ,but they have to access other networks (192.168.x.0)
i have prepared the below configuration ,relevant to nat to achiev the goal. Appreciate help to verify and help to achive this...
i have attached one rough diagram also..
Mysite

Thanks in Advance..
ShanilIt has to be configured on both sides.
X and Y are unused networks in this example: Site A has to hide 172.16.1.0/24 behind X when communicating to Y, site B has to hide 172.16.1.0/24 behind Y when communicating to X. The users in site A have to use Y as a destination, users in site B have to use X as destination. To make it usable for the users you should include the destinations in the DNS so that they never need the destination-IP.
On the ASA you describe the communication 172.16.1.0/24 -> Y with an access-list and add that ACL to your static-command. You find an example here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vpndevc/ps2030/products_configuration_example09186a00808c9950.shtml

Making dreamweaver site compatible with respect to various screen resolutions
I want to make dream weaver site compatible with respect to
1) various screen resolutions lie 800*600, 1024*768 etc
2) various monitor sizes...12", 15", 17" etc
3) the site should look same in different browsers IE,
Mozilla, Safari, Crome
what changes do i need to make?Dreamweaver *is* compatible with all resolutions. It's the
code that your
layout design has produced in DW that may not be. As has
already been
mentioned, you need to determine the smallest browser
viewport in which you
want your page rendered without horizontal scrollbars, and
design your page
elements accordingly (and again, this is not a resolution or
screen size
issue).
> 3) the site should look same in different browsers IE,
Mozilla, Safari,
> Crome
You will *never* achieve pixel perfect rendering in every
brower but you can
come close. The most important first step to that would be to
create pages
that validate here -
http://validator.w3.org
If you cannot do that, then your page rendering will be a
mess across the
board.

Do I need "check in/check out" turned on with Contribute?
I'm the only user of the site, but I have a guy who accesses
a few pages with Contribute. Can I turn off the Check In/out
feature? Or will I lose the ability of Contribute to see when he's
editing a page? I'm assuming it has to stay on, but it is quicker
and easier for me to not have it on. thanks.Digital Ink LLC wrote:
What's common practice for this?
This situation really needs a proper Content Management System (CMS): Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine all come to mind.
She's a content contributor, you're the system admin. She needs a bulletproof browser-based editing environment to do her thing without worrying about anything else.
Down the track, she'll probably want repeat content that she can control on different pages, content expiry, scheduled content, categories, tags, sidebars, headlines: all standard CMS features.
Using Dreamweaver and Check In/Check Out is just going to create one issue after another.
The current solution was probably adequate in the past but it's reaching the limits of its scalability. It's really time for a new solution.

We have a Webservice deployed on a Sharepoint 2010 deployment with a method as follows:
public static string ensureParentFolder(SPWeb parentSite, string destinationUrl)
destinationUrl = parentSite.GetFile(destinationUrl).Url;
int index = destinationUrl.LastIndexOf("/");
string parentFolderUrl = string.Empty;
if (index > -1)
parentFolderUrl = destinationUrl.Substring(0, index);
SPFolder parentFolder
= parentSite.GetFolder(parentFolderUrl);
if (!parentFolder.Exists)
SPFolder currentFolder = parentSite.RootFolder;
foreach (string folder in parentFolderUrl.Split('/'))
try
currentFolder = currentFolder.SubFolders.Add(folder);
catch (Exception ex)
FINEOSLogger.Medium(LoggerCategory.FINEOSToSharePointDMS, "User could not create SP folder so elevating permissions");
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
currentFolder = currentFolder.SubFolders.Add(folder);
return parentFolderUrl;
When invoked by a User with only Contribute rights the SubFolders.Add( ) call appears to fail and the
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges
code is invoked, which also fails.
1. So the first question is should you be able to invoke SubFolders.Add() with only Contribute? It works with Design privileges for the Customer. You can add folders on the Sharepoint website as a Contribute user so why not on the API.
Customer raising this as a security concern.
2. Also why would the
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges
part fail, is the syntax incorrect for Sharepoint 2010? We migrated this code from Sharepoint 2007 project.
The error I get when I try run the code as a Contribute user is

Note that the user SPWeb being passed into the method is from an impersonated user, don't know if that matters.
So the webservice payload contains the id of the user who wants to do the Sharepoint work while the webservice is invoked by anonymous or some other service user. We then impersonate the user specified in the webservice payload like follows and use
that web SPWeb from then on in the webservice methods:
userToImpersonate = currentWeb.AllUsers[user];
site = new SPSite(fileUrl, userToImpersonate.UserToken);
web = site.OpenWeb();
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Ruairi.Ideally, a user with Contribute permissions should be able to add folders. Not sure what is the issue there. But I can see that SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges is not written properly. You must create a new SPSite object inside the delegate
because SPSite objects created outside do not have Full Control even when referenced inside the delegate. Use the using keyword to ensure that the object is disposed in the delegate. Example:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(web.Site.ID))
// implementation details omitted
});See this for more information about SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivilegeshttps://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spsecurity.runwithelevatedprivileges%28v=office.12%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

Modifying a Contribute site outside of Contribute
I have been asked to modify the left navigation bar in an existing site that was built with Contribute. Can I modify the HTML directly or do I need to use Contribute to modify the site.
I am not sure if a local copy of the web site is kept on the PC and then published to the live site OR Contribute modifies the live site directly.
JerryI took a look through the Documentation and forums (even coming across your post to their support staff). More than likely it sounds like you are correct in assuming that you should only need to edit that template.html page and the associated CSS file. However, I think you are misinterpreting how Dreamweaver works. With Dreamweaver you will bring the files back to your computer to work on and then they need to be put back on the server. Now if you setup the remote server connection in Dreamweaver, the Live View function can pull active content from the web so you can see how it looks, but it will not be an interactive edit where as you are making changes they are automatically seen on the web. This is because Live View is a much more accurate view of how your page will look on the internet compared to Design View because it uses the webkit engine that Safari and Chrome use.
Although I will say you have some work cut out for you, because looking at their demo page they are using an HTML5 document type, which seems very strange to me, yet they are including tons of obsolete HTML elements that have been replaced by CSS since XHTML 1.0. In my opinion it looks like to use most of their code you should first change the document type from HTML5 to the HTML 4 document type in the page properties window of Dreamweaver because otherwise, with all this mixture of code, sometimes browsers will be sent into a "quirks" mode where it guesses on how it should render a page leading to inconsistent layouts and unnecessary headaches.
