Contribute CS3 WYSIWYG Problem

The WYSIWYG editor in Contribute CS3 worked the very first
time I changed images, but now when I connect I seem to have lost
the feature. Has anyone else ever had this problem or know a
solution? Thanks so much!!

I had the same problem, and found your post when searching for a solution. I am not very good with Contribute, but since I lost our webmaster, I've had to educate myself.
Because of another post in this thread about templates, I started poking around. Here is what solved it for me:
Open the problem page for editing, then go to Format>Template properties, and in the dialog box that opened, even though there were no templates available to choose, I clicked ok. I could then see my page in wysiwyg format. Let me know if this helps you, and if someone else can explain why this works, that would be great too. It worked for me, so far so good.

Contribute CS3 having problem with liquid layout

Heya everyone! I'm hoping that someone can help me here. I'm
trying to make the leap to having layouts done in CSS and not with
tables.
Please don't blame me for the design on this one - I didn't
do it! ;)
I'm having different issues in two different versions of
contribute.
Older versions of contribute won't allow me to edit the text.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the padding on my left and
right columns that I had to use in order to get my three column
layout. Getting rid of that means totally rethinking how I did my
three column liquid layout to begin with, which isn't my favorite
option.
Contribute CS3 WILL let me edit the text in the center
column. HOORAY!
HOWEVER! I can edit it for a little while, but if I start
typing too fast or click it the wrong way the entire DIV reshapes
itself and is suddenly 10px wide! How bizarre.
What can I do to make this editable in Contribute? Does
anyone have a fix to that this is either editable by my client
(this has to go LIVE to beta on Monday!) OR does someone have a
three column liquid layout that DOES work in contribute cs3?
Thanks so much!!!
check it out here: www.cssdd.org/index.html

you can see the layout in question at www.cssdd.org - sorry
for not including it.

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.

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 locks up iMac

Hi,
I have a friend who had been using the Mac version of
Contibute 3, then upgraded to Contribute 4 and now upgraded to
Contribute CS3. Here problem began about 8 months ago and she has
been on the phone with Adobe support for hours with no resolution
to fixing it. Her basic problem is that she can edit find but when
she goes to Publish her site, he computer locks up and she has to
unplug everything in order to get out of it. She uses Road Runner
connecting through a Linksys router and has to unplug these 2
devices to get her computer to boot again. Any idea what might be
happening with all of this. I don't use Contribute but I know that
there is a solution for her problem - anyone can give point me in
the right direction or a way to resolve this? She likes Contribute
since it's so easy to use. I tried to get her to use Go Live but
she didn't like it as much. Any input greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Hi again,
I did find out that my friend's problem is somehow connected
to the way Contribute connects to the internet. When I plug her
iMac directly into her cable modem, Contribute CS3 works
flawlessly. When I connect it to her Linksys router, it bombs her
computer everytime she tries to publish a page. Any ideas greatly
appreciated.

Installing Contribute CS3 on Win 7/64 home edition

On going through the long slow process of installing software on Win7 I ran into a snag with Contribute CS3. I have the downloaded version burnt to a CD which I have never had a problem installing from on XP. With Win7, after agreeing to the terms of licence, I got a message to insert the CD. Needless to say it was already inserted. I took it out and then put it back in, no joy. I then attemped to install from the folder where the original download had been stored. Same problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks, but! I don't get as far as entering the code, see attachment of screen shot. The copy I have is a downloaded "try and buy" which I have never had a problem installing from before. I also tried installing in XP Mode (I've upgraded to the Pro edition) but got the same error message.

Contribute CS3 embeds the contents of SSI Includes into page after Edit and Publish

I have tried every possible way to figure this out but it
seems as though no one has this problem or a solution...
My Dreamweaver CS3 Template based files that have SSI
Includes placed in a "non-editable region" of a template and/or
nested templates are continually embedded, merged, or hard-coded (I
used those keywords for anyone else who might be searching for help
on this frustrating issue) into the page after it has been edited
and published with Contribute CS3 for Windows.
After many, many, hours and days rebuilding templates
(thinking that it was my code), experimenting with .htaccess
include_path variables, and cursing this application, I have come
to one conclusion - if I put my includes within "editable regions"
in the templates or the template based pages, edit and publish the
page with Contribute - then the page is saved normally, with the
includes intact and not embedded within the page. This is of course
not necessarily desirable!
I have tried using various types of include directives like:
<?php include('footer.inc'); ?>
<?php require('footer.inc'); ?>
<?php virtual(footer.php'); ?>


All Includes are merged into the template-based page after
the page has been edited and published with Contribute - if they
are in "non-editable regions"!
Please, someone point me in the right direction - if it's
calling Adobe's Help line, or posting the files or whatever. I
can't finish this project and hand off to the client until this is
resolved.
Andrew

Hi,
I'd be reall interested to know if you got anywhere with this as I'm having the same problem.
The article referenced further down this thread is no longer available either.
Any suggestions or advice on this issue would be much appreciated.

Contribute CS3 managing iWeb site

I am trying to get Contribute CS3 to manage an iWeb site. Right after selecting a .mac website, and hitting Continue, it hangs...
I suspect the problem lies somewhere in iDisk, or iWeb, but I can't find a solution on the Adobe site or anywhere in .Mac.
Any ideas?
Sean

My recollection is that Contribute just does not support managing an iWeb site, only a Homepage site.

Contribute CS3 & Mac 10.5.5

Hi
I am trying to install Contribute CS3 from DVD onto a Macbook
Pro running 10.5.5, and it is not working. The instructions say to
access the disk and the installer should run automatically which is
does not, or access the root applications folder on the disk and
run it from there, but there isn't one.
Thinking maybe the disk was corrupted I tried it on a macbook
G4 running 10.4.11 with no problem.
Is there a known conflict with leopard or 10.5.5
Thanks

It works on leopard for me on my iBook and G4 upright.
Sometimes can get very flakey though.

Contribute CS3 Can't Edit Roller Blog

I'm just starting to use Contribute CS3 (Mac) to see if I
want to use it vs. Ecto that use now for my Blog. The server is
Apache Roller Weblogger v 4.0-dev. I setup my blog using Other Blog
Server options using an access point of
http://<my
domain>/roller-services/xmlrpc. This is the same AP that Ecto
uses which works.
It looks like I'm connected ... when I go to choose File or
Blog Entry my blog appears I click on open and it shows my blog
pages (BTW I'm using
one of the roller themes for my page). I select the page I
want to edit then click on edit and nothing happens???
What's the trick to this?

Roller is supported in CS3. Your access point looks ok. I
enter access point as "
http://<server-name>:<port>/roller/xmlrpc"
..Please check if your access point is correct. If your access
point is correct and you still face problem, can you please send me
your roller server details(access point, username and password) on
lkaur(at)adobe.com . Your details will be kept confidential. I
would be more than happy to help you out for same.

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?
Tom Anderson

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 Hang in Windows

Contribute CS3, running Windows XP, I have this on two separate installations. Website admin info is properly configured. I always have to do the "Connect" option, yet on other machines I go directly to "Edit page". Machines are running on a local Windows 2000 Domain server, but only for a file sharing server. Logon as administrator or user has no effect on the problem.
When I hit CONNECT, I often get a complete hang that never clears. Contribue.exe will go to 50% CPU and stay there, it never goes to "Not Responding". Almost 100% of the time this will occur. Uninstall/reinstall has not effect, and again, I just configured an entirely new Win XP install and a fresh CS3 install and have the same problem.
There was another thread that talked about this on the Mac and linked to a forum article that no longer exists. Would appreciate any ideas or help with this.

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.
