Contribute to edit Slide Show?

What is the best way to allow a client to easily modify the
contents of a slideshow from within Contribute?
I would like my client to be able to add his new work to his
slideshow without having to do a lot of coding. Yes, he could
probably modify the Fireworks slideshow xml after he resizes his
images, and uploads them, can this be done within contribute?
Thanks

When you have an XML option you could use the Publish file
from my computer option under >File in teh main menu and update
the XML using:
You cannot edit the .xml files directly in Contribute. What
you can do is:
1. in the main menu go to >Edit>Preferences
2. go to 'File Editors'
3. select .xml
4. add the application (f.i. notepad.exe) and make it
'primary'
Next you will have to adjust the users and roles settings:
1. in the main menu go to >Edit>Administer websites and
choose your website
2. choose your role and click Edit Role Settings-button,
3. go to Editing and check 'Allow users to edit source code
in external application'.
To edit the xml file:
1. connect to your website
2. click the Choose button on the right of the address bar
3. browse to the xml file you want to edit
4. when the xml file is open Contribute will tell you (This
file cannot be displayed in the Contribute web browser.
You may be able to edit this type of file with another
application. Edit your Contribute preferences to specify an
application.)
5. normally you would now go to the main menu click
>File>Actions>Edit source code in external application,
BUT you don't, you click >File>Actions>Edit Page or the
'Edit-button' in the main screen
6. notepad will open the file, you can edit the file now,
save the file in notepad and then publish the file using
Contribute.

  • How do you create a smart album so that you can look at and edit slide show fashion instead of one at a time?

    Is the Apple program always this convoluted every time something new is rolled out to roll over someone?

    Sorry but I have no idea what you're asking. What s "look and edit slide show fashion"? Where does a Smart Album fit into that? You know you can move from shot to shot using the arrow keys, right?

  • How to save and later edit slide show projects ?

    To create a slide show, photos are rearranged in a desired sequence.
    The project can be saved in a pdf file. If changes are desired, such as adding images or rearranging, how can this be done without starting over from the beginning?

    Is there any way to do that other than changing the dates?

  • Editing slide show music

    This seeems a simple question but I ahve searched HELP and cannot find an answer. I am working on a slide show DVD and have added music to the project. Now I have changed my mind and want to delete the original selection and add new music but cannot see how to do this.
    Thank you

    SDMacuser,
    I saw your post in regards to iDVD help, so I thought I would pick your brain for a few mins. I appologize in advance for the length of this email I am new to making DVD's on my MacBook Pro. I made the first one yesterday.
    One issue I have is when playing them on dvd players (located here in europe, and also Media Player on pcs) other than my mac dvd player. Correct me if I am wrong, but the images, when dropped into a slideshow become "chapters". The chapters (pics) on my mac go up to 99, then continue, but are "rewritten" again in the same slideshow as 1, 2, 3, etc. On pcs and the dvd players here, new titles are created with more pics in them. Have I missed something super simple? I did change the format in the info screen to PAL, and not NTSC, in order for the dvd to be played on the players here in europe. I will be making more dvds to send home to the States, and will make them as NTSC.
    Second, I enjoy the theme music for the "Travel Cards" dvd theme in iDVD'06. Is there any way to use the music file clip for he other slideshows? I have searched for it using Spotlight, but to no avail. I saw your response in how to incorporate music files to the slideshow, now I just need to find that particular file
    I appreciate any help that you might be able to assist in this matter.

  • In browser edit doesn't edit slide shows!?

    I bought Adobe Muse purely on the basis that my clients could edit pictures on their website. I work primarily in the automotive industry where image of vehicles need to be uploaded and edited easily. I now find out this can't be done using the 'in browser editor'. Not amused!!!

    And what were you hoping for? Sounds you have a fundamental misunderstanding...

  • Intalling a slide show that can be edited by contribute users

    I have developed a standardized template for a number of non
    profit organizations so that they can use contribute to update
    their websites without changing the template.
    Is there a way I could develop a slide show in dreamweaver
    and upload it so that contribute users can change the photos and
    comments associated with the photos without them changing the way
    the slide show works?

    Yes.
    You will need another secure zone, specifically for those 5 users.
    You will need to check the box in the web app settings that says anyone can edit the items.
    Show all web app items on a page in the new secure zone. (note: use {module_webapps}, not {module_webappscustomer}, otherwise they will only see the items they personally created)
    Make a custom list layout where you will create an edit link. You won't be able to output the edit link as a tag because we aren't using {module_webappscustomer}. You will need to create a link that looks something like: <a href="{tag_itemurl_nolink}?A=Edit">edit</a>

  • SharePoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2010: Open PPTX File in Edit Mode and Open PPSX in in Slide Show Mode

    I have the following issue while opening PowerPoint PPTX file and PPSX from the Document ID link provided by SharePoint 2010.
    Issue
    Initially when I opened PPTX file from the DOC ID link from SharePoint 2010, it is opening up in Slide Show mode which is not how we want it to be.
    For PPSX, it is opening in Slide Show mode which is what we wanted.
    Thus, I did some research online and found this article at support.microsoft.com/kb/q299824  which requires some modification to the Registry of the client machine.
    I did the change as follows
    Open Registry
    Look for “Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12”
    Set BrowserFlags value to a
    After the change, PPTX is opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is correct but PPSX is also opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is not correct
    This issue only occurs if I open the document from the Doc ID link in SharePoint. If the documents are downloaded, it will not have this issue.
    Questions
    Can I set PPTX to open in Edit Mode and PPSX to open in Browser Mode?
    Is this fixed as in if I change the registry setting it will affect both file types?
    Is there other ways I can achieve opening PPTX in Edit and PPSX in Browser Mode?
    [Environment]
    My Client machine is running on I.E 9 and Office 2010.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    To make the PPTX file open in Edit mode and PPSX file open in Slide Show mode, I recommend to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12 to 8.
    I tested the scenario in my environment with changing the key value to 8, after that PPTX file opened in Edit mode and PPSX file opened in Slide Show mode.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • How can I move my 31K photos to a standalone drive in folders and then import them back to edit and then perhaps return them to iphoto and library to produce slide shows

    I want to move my photos into folders, which reflect the contents of iphoto events , to a standalone hard drive. Subsequently I intend to return them a few at a time to edit in Elements. Once  they are edited I may return groups to iphoto to organize into slide shows. As things stand now, my iMac drive is rapidly filling  up. I do not use raw files so I want to move Jpegs and edit them.
    David

    I'm with Léonie. That's a very (and unnecessarily) complicated plan you have there. As Léonie says you can just set Elements as an external editor.
    To move a Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How to make a slide show or edition including mpeg and other formats

    Hi,
    I am i bit puzzled by the use of iphoto/imovie/itunes.
    I have a Sony camera which generates jpg photos and mpg videos; besides, i have 3gp and mp4 videos from cell phones.
    Firstly, i imported all of them to iphoto. I used a automator workflow to help importing from hotsynced Palm centro files, to discover the first problem with the 3gp files: they could not be iported by workflows.
    Still, they could be seen in iphoto, but then i tried to make a slide show. My idea was to put the photos and videos of a certain event to be watched together, or at least to be able to watch the videos in a sequence, without having to click on each one.
    I didnt get it in iphoto, so i switched to imovie. it was even worse, since it cannot import the mpgs and the 3gps (the jpg photos were ok). What could i do about that? is there any converter or other way?
    then i tried the itunes, and it was the opposite: it imported and played in sequence the mpg videos, but not the photos. This is a workaround anyway, since the program expects to play movies, and makes my daughter a "star", but that`s ok, she is one to me.
    i'll be thankful for hints on how to make the imovie compatible with the 3gp and mpgs, or finding some way to do this edition in iphoto or even with itunes.
    regards

    I see, it sounds reasonable , i think i will buy the pro and try.
    QT Pro ($30) and MPEG Streamclip (free) complement each other. In many cases one can do things that the other cannot. For instance, MPEG Stramclip can handle/edit multiplexed formats while QT Pro cannot. QT Pro allows layering of data tracks while Streamclip does not. Streamclip merges file streams more easily than QT Pro but QT Pro allows the "Movie to MPEG-4" export to "passthrough" the video while Streamsclip does not. And so on and so forth...
    I was referring to the mpegs from the Sony camera, of which a have hundreds, shot in the last 3 or 4 years, mainly from my 5-year old daughter. Is the above true to these?
    That still doesn't help. By "sony camera," are you referring to a still digital camera (multiplexed MPEG-1) or a Sony video camcorder taking MPEG-4/AVCHD with AC3 audio in an MPEG wrapper, a Sony DVD/HDD camera storing some kind of MPEG-2/AC3 files. On a Mac, the extension MPG normally refers multiplexed MPEG-1 (or MPEG-1 audio layer) files while MPEG normally refers to multiplexed MPEG-2 video content with MPEG-1, layer 2 audio (MPEG2/MP2) but may also refer to files with MP3 or AC3 files in an MPEG, VOB, or TS wrapper. In addition it may loosely refer to elementary M2V video streams (M2V video file paired with a separate AIFF or AC3 file), a standard MPEG4/AAC file (in an MOV or MP4 wrapper) or a standard H.264/AAC file in MOV, MP4, or M4V wrapper). Since the handling, conversion, editing requirements vary with each type of file, it becomes important to what specific kind of content/file container we are dealing with here.

  • When playing a slide show there are many nonvisible photos.  They appear as "image cannot be edited. The original is offline."  Where is it and how can I get it back into my photo library?

    How can I get all my images to show in my photo library?  When playing a slide show some of my photos have a message "Image Cannot Be Edited.  The original is offline." 

    What version of iPhoto?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

    Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

  • Add Music to a Slide Show - Editing Together Multiple Clips

    I want to create a slide show using three songs, and I need to trim each song.  Is there a way to do this in Elements?  If not, what software should I use to edit the music into one audio file that can be added to Elements?  I can't seem to do that in Windows Media Player.  Thanks!

    Which version of Photoshop Elements ?
    1 - The PSE slide show editor does have a very basic capability for trimming music.
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-elements-8/getting-started-22-creating-a-slide-s how/
    demonstrates using a trim of the audio which I think will also apply to other versions of PSE
    2 - Do you also have Adobe Premiere Elements ?  If yes, you could add your music and trim it within Premiere Elements.
    3 - Or a free editor for audio for which I have heard recommendations is - Audacity.
    I think that it would be capable of creating the single music file for your slideshow.

    Fortunen

    When you installed version 10 did you convert your previous catalog?
    If so, your projects should appear in the PSE10 Organizer. To search for them type PSESS into the search box.
    You should then be able to open the project by double clicking on  its thumbnail.
    Then choose Output >> Edit in Premier Elements
