Contribute CS3 drafts

When I'm sent a page for review my draft console in
Contribute then loads 20, 30 or more files. When only one file was
waiting review. The next things it asks me to replace the file on
the server it does this for images and HTML files.
These files were already on the server and did not require
reviewing. We use Windows server with Adobe Publishing Server.
Please help.

I think we ran into this problem. The problem is you can only
have one . in the domain i think.
it thinks for some reason whatever is after the first dot is
the extension.
in other words once contribute reads .c it thinks that's it,
and just puts it all together thus: .couk
---I could be wrong though, since you said it works for you,
but when your sending a draft is your account also the same double
dots?
Actually on second thought this was an issue with DWT files
rather than drafts.
other than that all I can think of is to make sure the users
FTP/SFTP can write to the MMWIP folder on the server.

Contribute CS3 Recipient (Names) List

When sending a Contribute (CS3) draft to other users, how
does the selection list of users get populated?
We have created Contribute users (/roles) and provided them
keys. They are successfully logged into Contribute , but their
names to not appear on the pick-list for routing drafts. What data
is used to populate the draft send-to pick-list? Is it derived from
a file on the web server combined with some other criteria?
The directory _mm\\ct3beta\WIPMetaData contains users' email
addressing structure, but nowhere are their equivalent first/last
names cataloged. Similarly from the Contribute Site Administrator
account, there is no apparemt way to change what users have entered
for their names.
_mm\\ct3beta\WIPMetaData

By reason of deduction, the list of users appears to be
populated from directory:
webroot\_mm\ct3beta\messaging\users\list
Randomly named XML files in this directory all have file name
extension
csi. These files contain the element
user_full_name. This element's value correlates to the name
presented in the list. By renaming the XML file's extension to
something other than
csi causes the name value disappear from Contribute's list
of the available names to pick from.
Why can't Adobe's documentation simply provide the explanation
of this relationship!!!

Uploading multiple files in Contribute CS3

I have a website where I am constantly creating new pages
almost everyday. I use Adobe Contribute CS3. I began creating
drafts (all from one template) and saving them for later. Now, I'm
have almost 200 drafts to publish to the server and the process is
relatively slow. Is there a way that I can upload all these drafts
to my server at one time? I found this page on Google (click the
link)
http://www.vdsys.com/contribute/answer-addmultdocs.htm
, but this process does not seem to work for me.Does it work for
anyone else? I need HELP.

Thanks Vikas,
I spotted the multiple file browse button solution from a forum search. I'm trying to avoid it as I don't want to have to force the user to have to step through the file browse process for each file. I'd rather they opened a single dialog (of some kind) and selected multiple files and hit upload once only.
I Googled the second one as well. Similar problem as above, although, it's getting closer. I found a few examples using a java applet. Most of them I'd need to buy, which I'm not against in principle, just rather find something I can code myself.
This is what I've been asked for.
"....Files should be uploadable from a dialog box similar to the one provided in MS Outlook where 1 or more attachments can be uploaded to an email in a single process......[it is] important that the user is able to select multiple files in a single step and are not forced to step through a repetative process for each file....".
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Contribute CS3 Locking up pages

My client just began using Contribute CS3 and each time she
edits a page, then publishes, she can no longer access the page for
further editing until we unlock the page for her.
She'll get an error that 'this page is being edited by her
and not available to edit'. Or the message will say she's editing
the page on another computer.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how did
you resolve it?

I have been having the same problem with both Contribute 3.1
and CS3. It only occurs when I have a lot of links on the page. I
am now using spry menus and have a lot of links on every page and
so Contribute is locking up when I try to publish. Then you can't
use it again until you clear out the drafts. Without the spry menus
it was always just one draft page, but now with the spry menu it
grabbed all of my links to other pages and created a draft for each
one. I now have to clear out around 50 drafts. Can anyone help with
this?

Contribute CS3 Freezes in Windows

We recently purchased a 10-user license for Contribute CS3
and have had no luck getting it to work. It runs very slowly on our
Windows XP computers. All of our computers are fairly new with at
least 1 GB of RAM and plenty of space. After taking several minutes
to download a page to be edited, it then freezes up completely when
you try to publish. I cannot unfreeze it without CTRL-ALT-DEL, and
then it leaves alot of junk in the Draft Console, as if there were
alot of files edited. I have uninstalled and re-installed, and even
rebuilt the user keys, but no luck. Any ideas as to what is causing
the problem? I have never had such poor performance from Contribute
before, and I have been using it since version 1.0. I also
currently have several users who have versions 3 or 4 and are not
having this problem. Any ideas as to where to go from here would be
appreciated.

I installed the entire CS3 and CS4 suites in Win7 but I only briefly tested them. Everything started up okay. As with Vista 64 it's vital that you accept the default installation path and even more important to remember that you'll be on your own as far as support.

Adobe Contribute CS3 Connection Error

I am trying to use Adobe Contribute CS3 Version 3.1 to connect our web server. I can use WS_FTP and WinSCP to connect to it fine. Our web server is running under CentOS 5.x. When I try to connect using the connection wizard in Contribute, I receving the following error:
Contribute cannot verify your connection information.
/tmp
Please contact your administrator for assistance.
I have tried both FTP and SFTP. Again, I can login, navigate to /tmp and upload, download, and delete files fine using WinSCP. Can someone let me know what Contribute is trying to do to verify the connection? Is there a log file? Any help is appreciated.

When I first tried to connect to our web server, I received a similar error. What worked for me was getting rid of the folder designation when trying to connect in Contribute (in your case /tmp) and allowing users to have permissions to access all folders on the web server. I create Contribute roles to limit the users to specific folders.
I hope that helps.

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.

How do I browse directory contents in Contribute CS3?

Hi everyone!
I have one of our users uploading photos to our website. At the moment she uses an FTP connection via Adobe Contribute CS3 to our web server. This has worked great in the past. However, at the moment she's uploading pictures to a dynamic website [Wordpress] and not using Contribute to edit the pages directly [as this is obviously done with the Wordpress Administration web panel]. The method she has been using is, within Adobe Contribute CS3, File>Publish File from My Computer. This is great, but the problem is that she can only upload one file at a time, and if she's already uploaded the file, she has no way of knowing she's uploaded it before, except for that Contribute appends a 001 at the end of the file name.
How can she access a folder structure within Contribute CS3, treating it like an FTP client? I'm sure this must be doable. Yes, I could install an FTP client, but she's very comfortable using Contribute CS3 and uses this application for other portions of the website which are static.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi,
To check if she's already uploaded the file, she can click the Choose button in Contribute. On clicking Choose button, Choose File dialog will be shown. In this dialog, she can browse to the appropriate folder in which she had published the images, and verify the contents.
For uploading multiple files through Publish File from my Computer, I do not think it is possible as of now. There can be a workaround though, insert all the images you want to a web page, and publish the web page to the website. Then, all the images will be published along with the web page. Then, you can delete that web page.
Note: The images in a web page, generally are placed in the 'images' directory of the website by Contribute. If you are placing the images in different folder, then, make sure that you change the publish folder for images to that folder.

Copy/Paste images into Contribute CS3

We have been copying and pasting images from Word Documents
in Office 2003 into Contribute CS3 at my organization when
developing content. We have been able to copy/paste images from
Office 2003 and other programs like Paintshop Pro and SnagIt.
Since upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007 all image copying and
pasting has stopped working.
Is there a known issue with this?
Does anyone else have Office 2007 installed and is able to
copy/paste images from a Word Document into a page in Contribute
CS3?

It appears that the problem only occurs if you are copy and
pasting from something that hasn't been saved yet.
In Word I inserted an image from my hard drive and tried to
copy/paste it into Contribute and that failed. I then saved the
Word Document to my hard drive, re-opened it and was able to
copy/paste fine.
Power Point, Snagit and Pain Shop Pro appear to have the
problem even if it's been saved first.
I was able to copy/paste an image from a Word Doc and
PowerPoint into MSPaint just fine. I was also able to copy/paste
between Office applications with out any problem. Snagit could
copy/paste into Office just fine and MSPaint.
This problem appears to be specific to Contribute CS3 but
only from certain sources.

I want MACROMEDIA Contribute CS3

I bought for my client a copy of Contribute CS3. He's
currently using Macromedia Contribute 3, one month demo. He likes
it, so I want to make it official. It's a small package for a small
nice programm (30MB in size). When I ordered Adobe Contribute CS3
the package was 300MB!!! What is happening ??
So I installed Adobe Contribute CS3 on his system, which took
a lot of time 45min. or so. But after the install I got Adobe
Bridge CS3 WHY?, Adobe Assets WHY?, Adobe Scripting WHY?, Adobe
version cue WHY? etc. etc. etc.
Why o why do I need a program like mDNSResponder.exe only
needed for I-tunes.!!!!
I DON'T need those ADOBE PAYLOADS. I only need what\ I bought
for and that is Adobe Contribute CS3. Please GIVE me a CLEAN
INSTALL. Where is the good old support of Macromedia.!!!! Even
UNINSTALL CS3 took half an hour.
There is NO option to only install Contribute CS3. It's ALL
or NOTHING
It's realy a BAD Adobe experience !!!!!!

Contribute CS3 not working with Leopard

Hi,
Ever since I loaded Lopard onto my Mac - Contribute won't
connect to any of my websites.
Says it can't connect 'because the server is down or not
accepting connections.'
Is anyone else having this issue - and does anyone know the
cure?
I've re-installed - but still won't work.
Thanks,
- Greg

This issue has been reported couple of time in this thread, i
was able to get the site info twice from the users and for one site
it was not connecting from the Tiger itself because of the site
issue and for the next one it was working from the 3 leopard test
machines we tried.
We have tested Contribute CS3 on Leopard and it works fine.
In case if the user is hitting any issue then it is important to
reproduce it then only we nail it down.
I do understand that you may not like to give the information
and for that only the second option is:
1. One test folder inside the site
2. One test role and a test user under the same role
3. Provide the access to the user only to that folder by
administering the site -> Select the role->Edit Role
settings->Folder File Access->Only allow editing within these
folders -> Add the test folder in the list
In this case i will be having the access to only one
particular folder which you can very well delete later on.
