Contribute Requirements

I'm thinking of purchasing Contribute to edit a website in Dreamweaver. Does anyone know the requirements for Contribute? I've been searching the website for an hour and cannot find any system requirements.Many thanks.

I do not have Dreamweaver. I want to edit a website constructed in
Dreamweaver and I'm trying to find the system requirements...XP, Windows 7 etc.

But, why would you buy Contribute to edit a site when you have
Dreamweaver? Contribute is a content management tool mostly intended to be used so
that people can post content to a site in a controlled environment.

Contribute requires password after installing IE 7

After installing IE 7, Contribute (3.11) now asks for a
password when starting up. After a bit of experimenting, this
turned out to match my regular windows password. Has anyone else
had similar - or different - issues with IE 7 and Contribute? (I
noticed a different post from someone who couldn't even start
Contribute 4 with IE 7 installed).

have one! But that does mean there are at least two of us locally.
I tried entering no password and this does not work either. I'm
using contribute 3.11 off a Studio 8 installation. I am the machine
adminstrator/'owner'. Any clues?
Have the same problem. Installed IE 7 and suddenly contribute
is asking for a password to start up. I tried using my password
that I usually use and that didn't work at all.

Dreamweaver template not updating Contribute pages

Currently I'm trialing Dreamweaver (MX) and Contribute
(3.11), to check
that it's a workable solution for my company, in terms of
editing and
auditing, but right now I'm having a problem.
I have some templates (.dwt files) that I create in
Dreamweaver, for
use with Contribute, i.e. I create the template, other people
create
the content for our site based on the those templates.
The issue is that when I make a change to the template, I
would expect
the pages created in Contribute to be refreshed to use the
new
template, but that doesn't appear to be happening. The only
way I can
get the page to be updated is to edit the page in Contribute,
go to the
Format menu and choose 'Template Properties', then hit OK
again to
close this dialog. I then see the page refresh with the new
template
changes.
Am I doing something wrong? I would expect, as I mentioned,
to have all
pages automatically updated when the template is saved, and
published.
Is there a setting I need to turn on, or a procedure of
publishing the
template that I need to adhere to?
any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Mark. While I think I've found most of
the things you mentioned since my first post, it is useful to get
confirmation of my finding, which appears to be consistent with
your post.
Here's what I've found, and later, why I'm not really liking
it:
If I edit the .dwt file in Dreamweaver and try to save it, I'm
prompted to only update those files I have locally that reference
the template.
I can only update those local files that are checked out,
though the saving process will check them out automatically
If I create a new page using Contribute, I must refresh the
templates first
My concerns are:
if I can only update those files I have locally, then do I need
to have the whole remote site stored locally too? My company site
is huge (as it's translated into 6 languages) and has multiple
contributors/editors. It sounds like I will have to download the
entire site before I edit a template, and put it back again
afterwards. Is that right?? it sounds rediculous, so I'm sure I've
got it wrong.
if I have the files locally, I must check them out before or
while saving the template. However, I then have to check them back
in manually. Again, with potentially 300 to 400 pages per template,
that's a lot of manual checking-in. If the saving process can
automatically check pages out, can it also automatically check them
in again??
Like you, Mark, I find it strange that Contribute requires a
manual refreshing of templates. I've searched all the options I can
find, but I don't see an auto-refresh templates setting, which
would be sooo useful. As it stands I will have to instruct each
editor/contributor to refresh before they create a new page, and
pray that they do.
any further advice from Contribute/Dreamweaver users would be
greatly appreciated. How do users with very large website handle
this? Are there any tricks or hints that you can pass on?

Contribute CS3 Requires Startup Password

I administer 30 or more websites. Have been working with
Contribute since version 2. Never required that I type in a
password to open up the program. Yesterday when I installed
Contribute CS3, and opened it up, it required a startup password. I
have no idea what it wants as I have never set a password. The
program is now unusable to me.
I sat on the phone for 6 1/2 hours yesterday with Adobe
support waiting for someone to come on to help with this issue. My
phone battery finally quit. Have also sent out a request for help
on this issue. No response.
I am getting a bit desperate as people are depending on me...
does anyone have a solution to this?

Make sure it says "Enter Password, please enter your
Contribute startup password try the following" If this is not the
prompt you get, other prompts could be asking for CPS or your FTP
login, so make sure the prompt is what you are getting before going
any further into this registry fix. If you are not a local
administrator on your computer you may not be able to make this
fix.
1. From the Run command, type in regedit to bring up the
Registry
2. Drill into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER >SOFTWARE
>Contribute 4.1> Security Preferences.
3. Now select this folder and go to File> Export > and
name this file something like backupsecuritypref.reg
4. Once the export is done, right click on the Security
Preferences, check Permissions, make sure your user name is part of
the security group. Highlight your user name and then verify that
you have Full Control to the folder.
5. Now double click on the blue key Always Prompt for
StUpPWD, you'll see a value name Always Prompt for StUpPWD. Toggle
the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change the value data
from 1 to 0 with the.
6. Go to the next blue key, Require PWD, and do the same
thing. Toggle the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change
the value data from 1 to 0.
7. Try to open Contribute again, if it is not opening, try to
import the backup file backupsecuritypref.reg via the
registry.

The file required for contribute compatibility does not exist on the server

Hi, when connecting to a server in Dreamweaver that is set up
for Contribute I keep getting this message when putting files:
quote:
The file required for contribute compatibility does not exist
on the server. Would you like to turn off Contribute compatibility?
I see the post from jonbradley below, but the solution

SharePoint 2013 workflows requires site level contribute access or higher

I have a SP 2013 workflow on a list that resides on the root of the site collection. All users have
contribute rights to this list, to the
Workflow Tasks list, and to the Tasks list. But all general users have only READ level access to the site.
If users go to the list, click on any item and either try to initiate a workflow or check status of a workflow (by clicking "..." and choose workflows or check item checkbox and choose workflows from ribbon), they get an error of "This site
has not been shared with you" as it tried to bring the user to http://<root site collection>/_layouts/15/workflow.aspx
I have tried this with a custom workflow, an out of the box workflow and the result is the same every time. However by granting any user CONTRIBUTE level access to the site resolves the issue immediately. I have also gone back and tried this
on a SP 2010 VM and this was not an issue then. You could do the same thing in 2010 with only read level access to the site.
So is this a limitation now with 2013 or a bug??? Surely, the system can't expect that a user needs contribute level access to the entire site just to initiate a workflow of one list.
Please advise.
*This READ level access is very important because the root site is extremely publishing heavy and needs to be controlled and maintained by only a select group of users - not everyone that needs access to the workflow.

I went into the masterpage gallery library and added the users to the read permission level. They are still having the same issue.
Thanks,
Jesse

Users requiring Contribute permissions to add list item - why?

I have a list in which I only wanted to grant Add and Edit permissions. I made these custom permissions so I could keep people from deleting from this list. However, until I bumped the list permissions up to Contribute, everyone got an Access
Denied error. Why would that be?
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.

What permission options you checked, there are couple of you need to must check along with add items and edit...
you need Add ITems, Edit ITems, View Items, OPen Items, View application pages etc

Are Editable Regions Required to Use Contribute

I have a website that was not developed with Contribute editable regions and templates. Instead we used server side includes and my client wants to use Contribute to edit everything but the SSI. Is this possible? And no, I would prefer not to have to go back and create templates/editable regions on this site with many pages.

If no Dreamweaver Template is set at all, they should be able to use Contribute to edit every html page that renders properly in the browser when accessed via a URL typed into Contributes the location bar.. (Or used to, I havent tried this in ages.)
Anyway, however, this has a tendency to get really messy. You got no way to control what theyre doing, Contributes editing functions are limited and they or Contribute might screw up your code in the process (like unsupported attributes, script code, getting nuked etc.).
If you got a DW template defined and locked and no editable region exists, then all Contribute users would be locked out from editing pages.
I love Contribute, but in a situation like this, I would probably vote against using it. At the very least, wrap your main content area in one single editable region...
Maybe you might want to grab a trial of Contribute CS5 and check it out as soon as it gets available in May and work with a backup copy of your site to see for yourself.

Contribute CS4 and CS5 file transfer (publish) problem on Windows 7 64 bit

Have a problem with Contribute CS5 and CS4 on Windows 7 64 bit where upon editing a webiste for example to add a new page (or edit an existing one) and then clicking on "publish" a blank page appears on the website. To explain this further, If i make the required changes to the page and select the option to publish the file later then the file wirtten to the PC appears to be ok and has all the changes, but as soon as I publish it, only a blank page appears on the web server. ie the upload (ftp) process does happen but the content of the page is being stripped out somewhere during the filt transfer process.
I have editied the same site with CS4 on windows XP without any problems.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thank you
Chris

I seem to have solved the issue by downloading this install file
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.2/enu/AdbeRdr920_en_US.exe
which installs successfully.

On installation of Firefox 4 beta, it tells me that it won't run on my Mac. When I go to system requirements, it takes me to a page for Firefox3.6 requirements. Where can I find the requirements for the beta?

The link to system requirements for Firefox 4 beta takes you to a page that gives you the requirements for Firefox 3.6 instead. I assume that the requirements for the beta are different as I can't seem to install the beta on my Macs. Where can I find the beta system requirements?

I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense.

I have 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute?

I just bought a 12 core with Quatro 4000 and 5770, I want to use dual monitor setup, monitors are NEC with Spectraview-II. How do I connect? 4000 only has 1 Display Port and 1 DVI. 5770 has 2 of each, if I use both 5770 Display Ports, does the 4000 contribute any work at all? I read where on a PC they would work together, but on a MAC they do not.
I read that Display Port has higher band width than DVI, NEC monitors for best performance they recommend using DIsplay Port.
When I was setting this up I looked at a Nvidia Quadro 4000, unfortunately it was for PC, it had 2 Display Ports, in the Mac version they reduce it to one. I did not think there could be a difference.
Mainly want to use it for CS6 and LR4.
How to proceed???
I do not want to use the Quadro 4000 for both, that would not optimize both monitors, one DP and 1 DVI. Using just the 5770 would work but I do not think the 4000 would be doing anything, and the 5770 has been replaced by the 5870.more bandwidth.
Any ideas, I am a Mac newbie, have not ever tried a Mac Pro, just bought off ebay and now I have these problems.
As a last resort I could sell both and get a 5870. That would work, I'm sure of that, it's just that I wanted the better graphics card.
Thanks,
Bill

The Hatter,
I am a novice at Mac so I read all I can. From what I understand the NEC monitors I bought require Display Port for their maximum performance. The GTX 680 only has DVI outputs. Difference from what I understand is larger bandwidth with the DP.
You said I have the 4000 for CUDA. I am not all that familiar with CUDA and when I do read about it I do not understand it.
A concern I have is, that if I connect the 2 high end NEC monitors via the 5770, using it's 2 Display Ports I would have nothing connected to the 4000. Is the 4000 doing anything with nothing connected? I read where in a PC system the 2 cards would interact but in a Mac system they do not.
Bottom line, as I see it, the 4000 will not be useful at all to me, since I want a dual monitor set-up.
So far the 5870 seems the best choice, higher band width than the 5770, and it has 2 Display Ports to optimize the NEC monitors.
I'm not sure how fine I am splitting hairs, nor do I know how important those hairs are. I am just trying to set up a really fast reliable system that will mainly be used for CS6 and LR4. Those NEC monitors are supposed to be top notch.

My 20" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo had become almost useless due to freezes and crashes- with NO crash reports in the logs.
They were often preceeded by video glitches, so I assumed it was a bad video card- unfortunately soldered to mother board.
Apparently, from forum postings, this is not an uncommon problem. The computer would run longer if the day was cooler, but rarely more than 10 minutes, so I suspected it was aggravated by heat.
Then I found this post from Bodomann on an Apple Support forum:
"Following up on my previous posting regarding my son's late model 2006 iMac that required a $900 logic board replacement:
Turns out the problem is apparently related to a bad CPU temp sensor. I installed 'iMac Fan Control' (Google it) which reported the CPU temp always at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (obviously incorrect). The same software allowed me to adjust the CPU fan manually. After multiple trials I set the CPU speed to 2800RPM after which the system would run forever - never freezing with the dreaded grey box 'reboot me' screen. I tried several times reverting the software to default speeds and the system would always crash within 10 minutes. "
I downloaded free Fan Control 1.2 for Imac from Derman Enterprises (they have an Intel iMac and a Mac Book/Pro version). It installs as a system preferences control panel. I cranked up all three fan speeds. The fans sped up noticeably. Horizontal lines have gone from screen (so far), no color artifacts and no crashes yet. I may have a real computer back! Hope Apple checks this out-
The control panel also gives the temps sensors are reporting at the CPU, hard drive and DVD drive. The CPU sensor reports the CPU temp as 32 degrees F- which is clearly wrong, unless Apple has been installing little refrigerators inside.
So thanks to Bodomann for posting- Hats off and three cheers to Derman and Cristoph for source code.

5 users to contribute content from window based PC's to iWeb site

I would like to create a website in iWeb '09 which will require multiple users to contribute/publish content, but the other site collaborators do not have Macs, just Windows-based PCs.

Welcome to the discussions. Even if your five users all had Macs running the same version of iWeb, it would still be difficult for them to contribute content — because iWeb's site data is stored in a Domain file on a Mac. This Domain file would need to be exchanged around the users for updating — which is not very practical for Mac users and impossible for PC users.
Instead of using iWeb, I suggest using a web-based design app accessible from PCs and Macs. Some of these apps have specific features for sharing whilst others may be sharable by giving out the single username/password to the other users. But this could be problematic if there's only a single email address associated with the username.
This first one is specifically designed for sharing:
Backpack
Google Sites claims to make creating and sharing a group website easy:
Google Sites
This one focusses upon "social networking":
Ning
...With Ning you can add tabs and sub-tabs to specific pages and external links via the Tab Manager feature. Mouse-over the menu items at this Ning site:
http://www.openwineconsortium.org
And their tab manager:
http://blog.ning.com/2008/08/a-new-tab-manager-early-next-week.html
Other web-based design apps are:
SnapPages
Yola
Viviti
Jimdo
Weebly
Sampa
Wix
If a sharable blog format is acceptable, you could hyperlink from your iWeb site is to a free Posterous blog. Posterous has "dead simple group blogging by email" where each of your three possible blogs can now have multiple contributers — see more here.
General info about Posterous blogs is in their FAQ. ...Group members can contribute text, photos, sound and video files, etc. to a Posterous blog simply by email. Plus there is the usual commenting capability plus comment alerts for the account holder.

Premiere Elements 9 - "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements....

When I start up a new project in Premiere Elements 9, the only thing that comes up is the gray screen. When I try to open any existing project, I get the following message:
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have tried all of the suggestions on this website and still, nothing works. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

JerryK713
First question that comes to mind is "Is this a never worked before type issue or it worked before but not now type issue?"
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 9 running on? Do you have the Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 Update installed? And, the typical drill questions, do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you working from a User Account with Administrative Priviledges?
Since Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is a 32 bit application, we would revisit the question of your computer resources...processor, installed/available RAM, free hard drive space? Is your computer optimized...defragmented, video and audio card drivers up to date, pile ups preview files and conformed video and audio files cleaned out? Scratch Disks directed to save location with enough free space to receive them?
Have you checked to make sure that antivirus and firewalls are not contributing to or causing the issue?
Another thought...are you running a dual (or more) monitor setup with your current video card?
Please review and then we can decide what next.
Thanks.

Cannot install Firefox extension for Contribute 4

I'm trying out Contribute 4 and right away during
installation there's a bomb: The installer tells me:
Unavailable Components
These components cannot be installed on your systemat the
current time
Contribute Extension for Mozilla Firefox
Version Required: Mozilla Firefox Version 1.0 or later
Version Installed: Mozilla Firefox must have been launched
at least once
The same thing happeneds when, after the original Contribute
installation, I tried to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel
to Modify the Contribute installation so as to install the Firefox
extension.
I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.8. Needless to say, I HAVE launched
Firefox "at least once", indeed, many, many times.
What could the problem be and how is it fixed???

access for the users other than the one who has installed Firefox.
Another place to check is whether Mozilla Firefox is installed in
the default location c:\program files\. directory.
If you can confirm that you have admin rights and installed
both FF and Contribute 4 and it is located in the default
directories, just post back.
I can create a bug in your behalf or you can fill out a bug
request directly here

I have admin rights for the account ("Administrator") on
which I installed both Firefox and Contribute 4. However, neither
is in the default location, as I NEVER install ANYTHING in
C:\Program Files. (This is to make the whole system more granular
for backup purposes.) All my programs (except recalcitrant ones
from Microsoft) go into subject-area subdirectories of lanother
ogical drive.
And data goes onto yet another logical drive, with most going
into a Documents directory there (which has been designated as what
Windows XP brings up as Documents). Under that Documents I have my
Firefox profile, inside that, the Firefox extensions.
So I'm certainly suspecting now that Contribute 4, unlike
other programs, did not attempt to handle non-default installations
of Firefox (or possibly even of Contribute 4)!
