Contribute publish produces 0 byte page

Hello,
We recently setup a website for a client in contribute. Everything was going fine they were editing and adding content at will. However they called me about some pages that had gone "blank" on them.
I grabbed the file from the FTP server and opened it in dreamweaver. Turns out Contribute somehow wiped out the page completely, there were no characters of any kind in the file it was completely empty. It didn't matter whether it was editable areas or not, all of the html page structure, written content images etc... all gone.
I reviewed the steps our client had taken before this problem occurred. He had been editing pages as normal, it didn't matter if they were editing lots of content on the page or just changing a word. They would complete their edits and then click publish... but the publish function would hang for a long time, minutes in fact, much longer than normal. The an error would appear on screen, unfortunately they didn't copy what the error read, and when they clicked ok their page was blank.
I'm trying to track down what could have caused this to happen? I've had a few clients use contribute before and this is the first time I've run into this problem. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Client is using contribute 4. (not cs5)
Thanks!

Have the same problem using Contribute CS 4 Release 5 on OS X 10.7.
This makes Contribute absolute useless ...
Any ideas how to figure out the cause or how to fix the problem?

Do I need Contribute AND Contribute Publishing Server?

Do I need to have Contribute Publishing Server installed on
the web server on order to update web pages with Contribute?

Hi,
I downloaded the trial of contribute cs3 and was able to
update web pages without cps. I'm still trying to figure out
exactly what cps does though?

Looping Cfdocument to produce a multiple page doc

Can anyone point out where I can find information on
producing a multiple
page cfdocument (pdf) using a database to include unique
information?
I have a customer that wants mailers that have the customers
name and
special offer. I want to use CF to generate the PDF doc using
a database as
the source. I will need to set up the document and then loop
it through each
database entry to create a multiple page document with the
information on
it.
Where can I find good information on how to do that?
Thanks.

Event invitations not published to .mac web page with rest of calendar

I've published a calendar to the .mac web server successfully, and the web page for the named calendar shows up fine in browsers at the appropriate URL.
However, when I receive an invitation from somebody else, and accept it, and put it into that (published) calendar, that event does NOT get published to the web page. Any idea why?
Example
- Joe uses Google Calendar to invite me to a meeting
- Google calendar sends me a .ics file in email
- I open the .ics file (click in Apple Mail, which launches iCal)
- I view the invitation in iCal; then change the status to "Accepted" (from Invited), and change the Calendar for this event to the Calendar I've published on .mac
- (iCal properly notifies Joe via a reply .ics via email that I've accepted)
- iCal is properly updating my schedule on .mac for all other events besides this meeting invitation; but the meeting invitation does not get pushed to the .mac web page for my calendar
Item of note: In this use case, I am NOT the event Organizer; somebody else is. Is this why iCal doesn't do it? Or is there something I'm not setting correctly in iCal? Or...?
This renders .mac-web-published calendars effectively useless, since a good share of my calendar is made up of people who email me .ics invitations, and (for various reasons) the person who manages my schedule has to use the .mac web UI for my calendar to know when she can dish out my time. (She doesn't actually put things in my schedule; just allots time.)

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics

I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics with "Alternative Text".
I know that with a Microsoft product graphics can be tagged before a PDF is made. I need to know how to do this with my programming.

The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
Example: Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.

Any Way to stop PUBLISHING a site or page?

Does anyone know how to stop PUBLISHING a site or page created in iWeb, yet maintain the page for future reference in the iWeb program? For Example. I created a "holiday card" page and now that the holiday season is over, I want to stop publishing it (take it down off the interent), HOWEVER I want to save it in iWeb for next year future use.
thoughts?

Here's what I do, without messing around with domain separation:
Method 1 - If I want to just keep the items on the page for reference.
- Duplicate the page.
- Go to the duplicate. Unlink it from the navigation menu if it was a navigation menu page. Rename it if you want, eg Home-old.
- Keep it there.
- Publish away. Since it is a duplicate and unlinked, no-one is going to find it through normal browsing unless they know the exact address of the renamed page.
- If you want to keep things really tidy, just delete the published page.
- When you want to make your page back to how it was, just copy and paste the required elements from the old page to your new page.
Method 2 - If I want to keep the entire page as is for later relinking.
- Unlink the page from the navigation menu if it was a navigation menu page.
- Unlink it from all other pages that referenced it.
- Rename the page if you want, eg Home-old.
- Publish away. Since it is unlinked, no-one is going to find it through normal browsing unless they know the exact address of the renamed page.
- If you want to keep things really tidy, just delete the published page.
- When you want to make your page back to how it was, just rename it back to the old name and link it back into the navigation menu and from other pages.
Unfortunately, archiving (and unarchiving) pages is not possible in iWeb - it's certainly on my wish list.
I feel domain separation is a bit of a pfaff when there is no way of importing pages from other domain files at the moment.

Published site has more pages that local iWeb files

I added several pages to my site. Then my hard drive crashed and my backup did not have the new pages. Now the published site has more pages than what i see when I open iWeb. How can I fix this? I want all the published pages also available in my hard drive.

You will have to recreate the new pages, unless you can use a file recovery service to ressurect the domain file that was on the crashed hard drive.
You can copy and paste images and text from the published website (view it in your browser) into new iWeb pages, but there is not a way to import html files back into iWeb.

Publish no static html page with Web services

Hello All,
I would like to publish no static html page using Web services. I can't attach this html page as static because I need to change it dynamically from another vi. So, client can read this page by browser with refresh 2 sec.
Thanks,
Yustas

Hi,
I think It is not possible to create a dynamic HTML page, at the most you could edit your page HTML and publish it again with the same URL
I hope to be helpful.

How to publish self-composed bytes array as video ?

So far I only find the way to publish camera video as stream: attachCamera()
Is it possible to publish self-composed bytes array as video ?

i don't believe there's a way to inject bytes into a publishing NetStream and have it encapsulated as though it was a video message.
however, you could do NetStream.send("onVideoBytes", myBytes) at the publisher, and receiver(s) could, in their onVideoBytes() handler, use NetStream.appendBytes() on a different NetStream (connected to a video component) to display your generated video data.
using appendBytes() properly for this purpose is an exercise for the reader.

Modify "Publish for Approval" web page?

Is there a way to modify the "Publish for Approval" web page in Aperture?
The original package includes a PNG file you can modify to put your logo on, but nothing else.
Thanks for any input.
David

I'm not the developer of this interesting looking package, but it doesn't look like it's something that will work with .Mac at all.
The web pages is creates rely on an application to be running on the machine that's serving the web page (which, as it's designed, would be your local Mac). This application needs to receive approvals from the web page events, and also needs to be on your machine so that it can use AppleScript to set the metadata in your Aperture library so that the approved pictures show up in the smart group. Neither of these are possible if the site is served on .Mac.
In theory, this could run on a remote machine, since AppleScript can target processes on remote machines. But to make it work, you'd still need the CGI application on the server, and you'd also need to open your Mac to allow remote AppleScript execution over the Internet (which gets into network setup, probably secure SSH tunnels, etc). Your Mac would also still need to be on, and allowing this connection, otherwise Aperture wouldn't be notified when someone approved pictures.
To make a short story long, it won't work with .Mac.

Need help with SCHECK routine in RFFOUS_C(it produces an extra page!)

Hello Experts,
I noticed that in one part of the routine SCHECK which can be found in standard program RFFOUS_C, there
is a code that for EVERY END of a house bank, it calls again the window 'CHECK' and element 540. Now,
this creates an extra page which I do not need. Also, they wouldn't let me customize the standard program
since it is being used by many companies. I tried commenting the element but it produces an error.
So for example I only have 3 payment documents, it should produce only 3 pages. I have checked the line items
and they are not enough to trigger an overflow.
Below is the code which causes an extra page:

I guess, with out customizing the driver program your issue will not be solved.
Don't worry, even if you customized your driver program it will not effect othr companies that are using it.. since check printing program configutation is done at company code level.

Office 2008 produces only blank page when opening files

Under Lion, Microsoft Office 2008 products -- specifically Word and Excel -- will produce only "blank" pages when I open files I saved before I upgraded to Lion. These are valid files which will open using Windows, or even using Preview.
I put "blank" in quotes because the content is still there. It is displayed, however, using the background color --- no matter what I set the foreground text color to, or highlight the background, it will never display my text! So the default seems to be white text on a white background. Setting the foreground text color to red or blue will have no effect; it will still be white.
A workaround I'm currently using is to open the files in TextEdit, "Select All", copy & then paste into a new Word document, but the formatting doesn't always carry over.
I posted a message on a Microsoft site and they said (go figure) "it's an Apple problem, not a problem with the software."
Anyone else having this problem?
How/when can it be fixed?

I saw another post regarding font mismatches and I've learned that that is the problem in this case!
If I open any of the documents I was having trouble with, do select-all, and then change the FONT (not the style, not the color) -- e.g. to Times, or Times New Roman -- suddenly all my text appears!

I guess I didn't see anything from Macromedia that tells me
that CPS works with the new version. I'm not looking for new
features. I just want to make sure there aren't any
incompatibilities, outstanding bugs.
