Contribute and Favicons

Hi everybody
How can I add a Favicon using Contribute ?
Thank's for your reply.
Sam

While this correct as far as uploading the file to the
server, the code component of adding a favicon cannot be added
using Contribute unless the role you are using has access to the
"Edit Page Source in External Application" command under the
Actions submenu of the File menu.
Assuming that you have access to this function (if not
contact the administrator of your site) then you need to add the
following code into the "head" section of the document:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon.ico"
type="image/x-icon" />
Make sure to replace the value of the "href" attribute with
the path to your particular icon (the path is relative to the
webroot of your site).

Contribute and Dreamweaver

I was wondering if it is ok to work back and forth between
Dreamweaver and Contribute, also, I was wondering if I need to
change my ftp connection do I just need to make a new connection
key in contribute and also make a new connection to the server in
dreamweaver? I'm making a site for a client and they haven't
decided if they are going to host it or if we are going to host it.
If they decide to host it I'm going to have to change my whole
connection and I'm just wondering if I'm going to be able to do
this.

I would use containers outside the editable region to help
control styles. For example, if you wanted a styled list, but
wanted Contribute to work well with it, you could do something like
the following. Tables are also useful to use because they are
easier to edit in Contribute. You could also redefine p tags, h1-5
tags, li tags, etc. per div container.
#my-container{
/* any styles this may need */
#my-container ul{
/* any styles for the ul tag */
#my-container ul li{
/* any styles for the li tag */

How to Create Logo and Favicon with CS6 Quickly ?

Hello,
Shout to Designers !
Hello friends,

So, can somebody here suggest me to create one for SolveMyHow ?
Thank You

Logo are best design using vector graphics Shapes and text for they will scale perfectly. These came be made into custom shapes which can be enhances with layer style effects. Photoshop can no save ico files. There are third party plug-ins for Photoshop that can save ico files.

Contribute and 2 css files

I have developed a site for a client in Dreamweaver using css
for font styling. I also use Tab Bar Magic from Project Seven,
which has it's own css file. My client uses Contribute and only the
css menu. He is confused with so many style options and starts
using the P7TBM styles, which do not work right for our content. Is
there any way to hide a css style sheet in Dreamweaver or ???
RJ

If you put the PVII code in a template in a noneditable
region and then
attach the PVII style sheet to the template only ... do the
PVII styles
still show up in the Contribute child pages?

Contribute and Project Seven Plugins

I have a client that has Contribute and wants to do more
updating of their website and ultimately manage the majority of
content updating themselves. I suggested Contribute and they have
that. However, the website uses several PVII plugins, specifically
Tab Bar Magic, Tab Panel Magic and Accordion Panel Magic.
Since I don't use Contribute at all and have the full
DWCS3/Adobe CS3 Suite I am wondering:
1. Should I recreate a more "Contribute friendly" template
and website design that will be easier for the client to update
using Contribute? If so what are the issues surrounding this if I
am using PVII plugins? Should I scrap using PVII plugins
altogether?
2. Should the client invest in the full DWCS3 and purchase
PVII plugins so they can have ultimate control of adding new pages
based on the template design and so forth without any plugin
issues?
Here is the website:
http://ilheadstart.org

Thanks for the reply. I am going to download the Contribute
CS3 and play with it. However, I believe my client has Contribute 3
and not the CS3 version. Will that matter any?
The template for the website already has a "main body"
editable region which is where new content can be added on a blank
page from scratch.
Okay so it's confirmed my client does not need to purchase
any P7 plugins. I was not clear how that worked with Contribute. I
am assuming the plugin effects just appear as they would but the
client can't edit any of that? Maybe once I have the trial program
I can see this for myself and answer it that way.
Also, you say the P7 plugins do not mess up edit mode. Again,
maybe I can best understand this when I toy around in the
application.
My only other question is since the client has Contribute 3
and I will be using a trial of Contribute CS3, will there be a
significant new set of features I will see that they will not?
Lastly, looks like CS4 is coming or at least it's announced. Should
I recommend my client upgrade to Contribute CS3 or wait until
Contribute CS4 comes out? Please advise, thanks!

WordPress, Contribute and XMLRPC

Hey All. I am having some issue with Contribute connection to
WordPress on my server.
Error: Please make sure you have sufficent permissions...
Well i am the Admin, so i have gave XMLRPC CHMOD 777 to be on
the safe side, along with the root folder, buts its not worked.
The url to it is
http://www.planecrazy.eu/demo/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
I am using this as the access point to my blog,
the page says Forbidden, i have visited the main wordpress
website and used this extension on some one elses blog and you get
a very different response...
XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.
Bingo, the problem must be that file. But i have no idea how
to sort it out, in the contribute user name i am entering the Blog
user name and password, is this correct or should it be my sevre
username and password?
I have tryed it with a manual and cpanel install of
wordpress, does exactly the same to drupal too, any help would be
very appreciated, thanks all

I am having a similar problem. I can't connect to a blog
because of insufficient permissions. But I've changed the
permissions everywhere I can think to , and keep getting the same
result...
"Error: Please make sure you have sufficent permissions..."
Is this a common problem, something new? I've connected to a
number of blogs with contribute, and this is the first time I've
seen this.
Any suggestions?

Issues with transfer between contribute and dreamweaver

Hello!
I just installed the Adobe Creative Suite 3 the Master
Collection for my macbook and I am having issues when I open
contribute and then try to edit the sites in external application
i.e dreamweaver an error message comes up saying make sure that
dreamweaver is installed and that there is enough memory.
Please help me remedy this issue!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The usual reason for this is that you’re using a different colour space in Photoshop. Try using sRGB in both, see if it helps.

Colour background for quicktime plugin and favicons

Hi, a trivial query. I have seen some sites where the background colour for the quicktime plugin player is black not white. On my proto site http://www.goldenumber.co.uk/beermatts_trumpet_pages/ if you click on the midi files the player has a white background which I would prefer to be black. Do I need to edit the midi file itself? Any suggestions gratefully received.
Secondly, when I access the midi files or the pdfs I lose my favicon image in the address bar. Is there a way around this?
Regards, Matt.

I still see a white background when I click on a MIDI file link.
Unless you place the MIDI file in a web page (such as with EMBED SRC), you cannot control how the MIDI player plugin will display in the browser. Look at the zianet.com page linked above for an example. The directory web page is black (with text and graphics) and plays 'Hold on to the Night' in the background because it is embedded in the HTML.
If you want to control the appearance, you need to create a new HTML page for each MIDI file.
Example:
Create a new file called '
The_Fields_of_Athenry.html' and use the following example HTML...
<html><head>
<title>The Fields of Athenry</title></head>
<body bgcolor="black">
<EMBED SRC="http://www.goldenumber.co.uk/beermatts_trumpet_pages/midis/The_Fields_of_Athenry.mid " AUTOSTART="true" HIDDEN="false" Width="145" Height="24">
</body>
</html>
Link to this HTML file instead of the MIDI file.

Does anyone know a good photo gallery that I can use in contribute and easily add photos and new galleries?

Looking for a good gallery that can be easily updated by the user in contribute. All the ones I have found are too complicated for the general user to add/edit photos

Not that I know of, but you definitely need a relational database for this, and FileMaker is the best there is.
It might be worth asking them if they already have a template for your purpose.
Of course, they also make a simpler and cheaper version called Bento:
http://www.filemaker.co.uk/products/bento/
I have never used it but it might be worth a look?

Installing Contribute (and Studio 8) errors

The installer goes through installing all programs in Studio
8 until it gets to Contribute, then it stops and I get the message:
"The InstallScript engine is missing from this machine. If
available, please run ISScript.msi, or contact your support
personnel for further assistance."
I am logged in as Administrator, have turned off all McAfee
anti-virus programs and the XP Firewall. I called Adobe Support 3
times on Friday afternoon but they are now closed for the weekend.
I have done what support asked using the technote to replace and
reinstall the version 10 msi. I have now done this five times and
rebooted each time. I have installed all Windows XP Security
updates and have 4G ram. I can't think of what else to try.
Can anyone help?

Adobe support finally found a solution to this. For Windows
XP and 2000
(a) You need to reinstall the IsScript engine to resolve this
error. Please
refer to this InstallShield troubleshooting link for more
details:
http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108158
Please take note that Contribute 3 is using version 9. Follow
the
instructions indicated for version 9.
(b) download Contribute 3.11 and install. (It's about 35mb in
size).
http://www.adobe.com/support/contribute/downloads.html
Download the Contribute TRIAL version for 3.11 and use that
to install.

Safari 203 and Tiger 10.4.6 and Favicon behavior

Ok, I wiped the HD, reinstalled Tiger 10.4.6 because favicons from the Apple Website didn't show, instead only showing genric icon balls except for the "store" tab. I assumed that something was corrupt with my system and it was easy enough to do (as I make regular backups of my important stuff). Intalling from the 10.4.6 dvd soon adopted the same behavior thereafter. All the apple favicons started appreafing as normal AFTER I went to by home folder ,safari, and deleted the icon folder. Then I reopened safari (which recreated that icon folder) and everything worked fine. In the end, I do not think there was anything wrong with my system. I have done the last 2 java updates, airport 005 udpate, and itunes phone driver SU. I have not done the new quicktime, SU 003, or ipod updater. I use MacJanitor on a regular basis, Stuffit Expander 902, Virus Barrier X4, and Office. I can't seem to recreate the issue no matter what I do. I can only assume this is some kind of bug. At first, I thought it was because I export my Safari bookmarks, save them with my backup, and reimport them after the reinstall. I thought having duplicate addresses might be the issue, but as I understand it, favicon data and bookmark addresses are saved diffrently.

The bug never reappeared after the wipe and reinstall. It wasn't a big deal to do, as I thought it might be a symptom of a larger problem. I have not been able to make it happen again. It leads me to believe that the install from the 10.4.6 DVD might be a glitch in that Safari/ favicon behavior until you remove the icon folder and let Safari start rebuilding. I origianally thought the bug was caused by my importing a backup copy of last months safari bookmark back up that I made, but I re-tried that and the bug didn't happen. I even thought it might be tied to MacJanitor running it's scripts, but I re-tried that too. It was pretty easy to just delete the safari icon folder and things started behaving normally. The wierd thing is, it mostly just affected Apple sites.

I'm going crazy!!! Contribute and .mac!!

hey guys, its been about 10 hours now and I still can't figure this out. So here goes.
Before anyone says " do a search" yeah i did that, can't find my answer, that was part of the 10 hours. And i am running the latest of everything.
My problem, I am a small business trying to put up a website. I signed up for a .mac account and began using the templates and so for. And I decided that I don't like them and want a flash site. I bought macro studio or suite 8 whatever its called. I want contribute to take my flash site and put it to my mac account. ( i bought a flash template on the internet and then made it my own)
with contribute As soon as it pops up It can connect to my .mac site!!
I was like wow this is easy... but no.. nothing for me is easy. I have to simpliest things come the hardest.
when you want to create the connection.
"what do you want to connect to? it asks..
I select .mac website.
"contribute will use the .mac settings defined in system preferneces."
I was like sweet! I click continue
then here is my summary ( i cant copy and paste)
Congratulations, ! you can now use contribute to edit pages on your website
website information
Address: http://homepage.mac.com/eyeswideproductions/
connetion information
type" webDAV
WebDAV URL: http://idisk.mac.com/eyeswideproductions/sites/
WebDAV username: eyeswideproductions
Role infomration.. blah blah (the rest is N/A)
OKAY, first my address site isn't correct
it should be web.mac.com/eyeswideproductions
Why does it say homepage? i went to .mac in my system preferences but theres nothing i can change or anywhers that it says that.
So contribute thinks thats my site. and of course in contribute where my site should be is this message from apple.
http://homepage.mac.com/1/homepage404ErrorPage.html
Im almost to the point of running my head through my door cause id rather deal with that. All I want is to take my new kick *** site and put it on my .mac account which i should be able to do shouldn't i??

Let me make things clear from the outset...this is not an iWeb issue. The issue is that Contribute only works with the Homepages system in .Mac. So the general URL that you are given is indeed correct...
http://homepage.mac.com/eyeswideproductions/
Unfortunately, this URL is incomplete. You need to specify a valid "index.html" file that Contribute is saving to your iDisk/Sites folder.
For example, you can put any kind of html files into the iDisk/Sites/ folder and have it displayed by Homepage. Let's say that I have a website. I put all the files for this website in a folder called "MyHomepage"...and inside this folder there is an index.html file that launches the website. So what I do is to drag this "MyHomepage" folder into your iDisk/Sites/ folder. Then the URL to this website is the following...
http://homepage.mac.com/eyeswideproductions/MyHomepage/index.html
Do you get the pattern?
Look inside your iDisk right now. Go to the Sites folder and see what is in there. Maybe Contribute saved your website in a folder there. If so, you are golden. Just tack this folder name onto your Homepage URL as I've illustrated above. You should see your website show up!

Contribute and Pop-Up windows

Hi there,
Offently I have user that want pop-up windows on their site
to provide enlarged view of thumbnail pics to their website
visitors. Of course with a little javascript fonction and a link do
the trick.
But how to provide Contribute Users the possibility to add
more thumbnails and a larger associated view in a pop-up window
using a javascript link?
Code:
quote:
<a href="/i/terrasse.htm" onclick="return
popup('/p/en/terrasse.php')"><img src="/i/terrasse_s.jpg"
alt="Terrasse View" width="350" height="258"
class="image_align_left" /></a>
Javascript:
quote:
function popup(url, name, width, height) {
var settings =
"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width="+width+",height="+height;
window.open(url,name, settings);
Any idea?

I usually create some javascript/php app that calls image
files from a specific folder. In that folder the Contribute user
uploads images (menu: File, Publish file from my computer) and the
thumbnails can be created dynamically. Some lightbox scripting
would be nice to, instead of using popups.

Integrating Contribute and Lightroom?

Hi All
Is it possible to integrate a Lightroom style javascript with
Contribute? I'm looking for a suitable solution for a client, I
still run Contribute 3 but I know from v4 onwards it's possible to
upload images to a folder on the Contribute administered site. If
the later versions allow specifying a "rel" (and "title" also)
parameter when linking to an image file, then many of these
Lightroom style scripts will work perfectly in a Contribute system.
Is this possible in Contribute 4 or later?
Maybe there's a Spry script which will give the same result?
Other than that there must be php/cfml scripts which create
image galleries on the fly, but are there any which will handle
static images, flash, quicktime, and music automatically and within
the same gallery?
Any suggestions welcome.

Bump?

Contribute and Dreamweaver / Network Drive!

Hi All!
Due to security limitations, the site I manage has no ftp
access (the entire site is uploaded to a remote server each time as
a zip file). Also, we have no local testing server so the entire
site is actually administered on a local network drive. I have the
site set up in Dreamweaver but we have Contribute on a second
machine in the office and I'd like to set the site up so that I can
administer it through dreamweaver while an editor would be able to
make simple edits through Contribute.
The editor can connect to the local drive with Contribute
without issue but I'd like to enable Contribute compatibility in
Dreamweaver to allow check-in/check out. In the 'site definition'
dialog in dreamweaver, under the 'Contribute' category, I checked
'Enable Contribute compatibility' but it also asks for the Site
Root URL. However, this site has to be administered on the local
network drive (I tried using the path as the site rool url) so I
can't figure out if it even going to be possible to set it up to
work.
Is it even going to be possible to set up the site,
Dreamweaver and Contribute to work together on a local drive
instead of an actual server?
Thanks very much in advance.

Hi, Vicky,
In the site setup section there is a Contribute tab. Checkmark the "Enable Contribute Compatibility". It should walk you through the setup steps. It's been some time since I set one up so I can't recall exactly what you do. I do remember it wasn't particularly difficult. Hope that helps.
