Is there going to be a Contribute CS5

Does anyone have an idea as to whether adobe will be releasing Contribute CS5.
I have CS4 design premium and it comes with incontext editing which pretty is similar to contribute for updating and at the moment it is free. (comes if you have dreamweaver cs4)
A friend of mine wants to update their site and I have suggested getting Contribute CS4 but if he purchases a suite with DWCS4 then he will have incontext editing.
I have looked at the adobe contribute cs4 features on the adobe site but apart from a few movies it does not list the full features and capabilities of Contribute CS4 and also on the Adobe.TV section there are no videos demonstrating Contribute CS4 but there are for Incontext Editing which is strange as Contribute has been part of Adobe for a lot longer. It is these facts that make me think that Contribute CS4 will be the last version and Adobe will go with Incontext Editing instead. (Probably be a subscription service rather than the free as at present)
Does anyone else have any ideas as to why Contribute CS4 has less promotion and support online from Adobe than other products?
What do you think? (Or I am just paranoid)
Look forward to any responses.
Cheers,
Kirk

Using Contribute CS5 to edit site created w/Dreamweaver - PayPal button size issues

I'm using Adobe Contribute CS5 to edit my web site that was built with Dreamweaver on a Mac. I have a PC with Windows XP, 1G of ram, a 40G hard drive (used only for programs and operating system) a 1 terabyte external hard drive for all files, etc. I use MSN Explorer for my browser.
I have done extensive editing and everything works fine except for when I edit or add PayPal buttons. The site was built using "tables" for most everything as well as all of my price lists. When I add a button or edit button properties, that row of cells doubles in height, in the "editing window" they look okay but when I publish the page they take on the doubled height.
I contacted Contribute tech support and they say Contribute is working properly and the problem is with how the button code was written in Dreamweaver. The tech said even though the button looks like it is the proper size, the code tells it to take up more space thus giving me the cell height problem. My standard price lists do not have any lines defining rows and columns but on one page I have been experimenting with I have given the table a line value of 1 to enable me to see what is going on, you can view this page at; http://www.hopscrimshaw.com/birds/owls1.htm
My Webmaster and I parted ways a few years ago so seeking help there is not an option, she won't return phone calls, reply to e-mails, etc.
Any help solving this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, PapaHop

I am also having this problem and any answer would be greatly appreciated. The code <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"> </p> gets added whenever text edits are made. This seems to create spaces on the page which pushes content out of alignment. The code gets put into the navigation, the text and anything above the text being edited, jpeg sliders, images, etc.

I cannot gain access to my website using Contribute CS5

I have Contribute CS5 on a Mac running 10.7.5 and used to be able to access it but cannot now. I CAN access the site on the internet fine and using YummyFTP can upload to it fine.
When I use the CS5 Wizard to set up the connection I end up with "Access Denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem." I have double checked all the inputs, I called my ISP and went thru everything there = all permissions are open to me, I'm usign the proper user ID and password and she can get to the site also.
When I do get the CS5 Wizard going it says in a dialog screen "Downloading 'cthub...etc....csi' and nothing else happens.
Another dialog that comes up is -- "Contribute cannot verify your connection information. / Please contact your administrator for assistance."
I have talked to the ISP and we can't solve it between us.

I finally gained access as a User but I cannot call myself an Administrator = it says my password is wrong but I put in the password for my website access - what other password are they talking about???

Jquery show/hide not working in contribute CS5 or CS6

We use Dreamweaver templates and our users use contribute CS5 or contribute CS6 to edit webpages. We recently added some Jquery code that shows/hides DIVs on the webpage. When our users try to edit this page, the Divs are hidden they are not able to see the content to edit it. Is there a workaround for this?

Hi motiondude,
I am having a similar problem with CS6 and show/hide buttons in an interactive PDF. I am having the German CS6 version of InDesign (just as info).
What my problem is: I have made some sort of „gallery“, where there are small versions of all pictures on the page, and a big version of everyone are on a pile over each other.
When you click the small „preview“ image I made a show/hide action that it should show the big version of the picture. This worked fine on the first page where I tried this!
But on the second page with other images it wasn’t working at all. When I opened the PDF in my Acrobat Pro (Version 10.1.7) the buttons did not show up the pictures when I
clicked them. The first image stayed there.
I for sure checked my setting several times, everything is fine and correct in the actions and buttons area. In the SWF preview I checked it too, everything should work fine.
Yes, I know that this preview is just for SWF, but it is a fast checking tool for actions.
Afterwards I also tried opening the file with the PDF viewer. The problem still was there.
What „solved“ my problem for now was to make an idml and open the file in CS5. Making an interactive PDF out of the CS5 – and it worked!
Though I am just at the very beginning of my document, so lets see if CS5 will be my solution until I am finished with it.
To summ it up, it seems this is really a bug in CS6. I also read here http://forums.adobe.com/message/4482056 that this seems to be a bug. But one in the forum mentioned
this bug should be fixed with the new release. But this was back in 2012! I have the newest update. But I still have the problem.
Maybe it will take some time until it is fixed in the German version? I am not sure. It is really annoying.
I think writing a bug report should be done in this case!

Not able to edit editable regions in contribute CS5

Hi there,
i got a question i need to ask according to the helpdesk i just spoke to. I've downloaded the Contribute CS5 trial yesterday and i wanted to show my costumer how to edit pages and create new ones. I've made the connection to the website and tried every possible thing but the only thing i can edit is the first editable region wich i always leave blank (the designer build in some hidden text there). The rest of the editable regions, named header and content can't be edited. How is this possible? This is only on the most existing pages. Creating new ones do not appear to have the same problems.
i work with contribute CS4 and everything works fine. I can edit pages fully and publish everything like it should be. To be sure i also downloaded the trial CS5 to my laptop and i got exactly the same problem as described above.
How can help me out?
cheers
Jarno

Hello Pravin,
I have the complete access, but all of sudden three icons started missing .
Thanks,

Contribute CS5 - Getting Locked Out by WebDAV on Review

OK, we're using Contribute CS5 here, and we have writers who are sending drafts to publishers here, and we're using WebDAV. Contribute is using WebDAV locking, so as a result it's not creating any .lck file, the locks are being kept track by a WebDAV database.
However, when a writer sends a draft for review, and a Publisher tries to Publish, they get the following error:
"someone else changed this page on your website while you were editing it. What do you want to do?"
When they select to "publish your draft, overwriting the changes the other person made," contribute responds with the following error:
"access denied. The file may not exist or there could be a permission problem."
It looks like the only option would be to publish the draft as a new page.
When I go into Dreamweaver to see the check out information, it tells me that it is checked out by "Adobe Contribute."
I saw a few threads on this issue before, but none of the resolutions worked.
I saw one suggesting that I disable rollbacks, but rollbacks aren't disabled.
I saw this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/112454#112454 which said to give people permission to the _mm and MMWIP folders, but they already have Read/Write access to those folders.
The only way I am able to break the lock is to access the files using the service's web interface (which doesn't use WebDAV), delete the file there and re-upload the current copy. I cannot seem to break the lock otherwise.
I don't know if this is a WebDAV issue or a Contribute issue, though the web server people seem to think it's something to do with Contribute.

Hi,
According to this technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/194/tn_19469.html , Contribute supports only exclusive locking of files, and hence, the editor of the page can only publish the page, I think. So, you can log a Feature Request for this. The Feature Request link is: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=9

Can Contribute CS5 publish to secured PHP pages?

I have created a site that has standard HTML pages and a members section that uses PHP pages with the Dreamweaver restrict access server behavior to limit access to authorized users. I'm trying to use Contribute CS5 to update or create new secured pages (ultimately the client will do this) but it only seems to work for the static HTML pages.
When I open the login PHP page, I can enter the user name and password, but the page that I am then directed to (set us as part of the login user server behavior) returns a script error telling me "Spry" is undefined on a line that dosen't spry. I can either continue running scripts on the page or not (same behavior results), edit the page and then try to publish it, whereupon I get an error saying that either the server is busy or I am not authorized to publish on the site. But without exiting the app, I can then go to a static html page, edit and successfully publish it, so it seems that the problem is associated with the restricted access pages, as though session variables aren't being recognized.
All help appreciated. Thanks.

OK, found the problem. There was an incorrect path to a javascript file in my header navbar that only effected PHP pages that were in a file off the root. All non-PHP pages, being in the root, worked fine.
So the bottom line is that Contribute works properly, and the problem was a path error that Contribute was in fact flagging.
Only wish that I had seen this before I changed all of the PHP pages to HTML and revised the login pages to so all of them I needed to update were non-PHP. OUCH!
I guess I get 10 points for answering my own question... but not worth it.

Contribute (CS5) thinks it can't see my internet.

I looked around a bit and didn't see anyone else with the same errors. Hopefully this is just one of those issues where there's a checkbox somewhere I'm not checking, or vice versa.
I just installed Contribute CS5 today and have been trying to connect it to one of my websites (for which I regularly use a free FTP program).
Contribute can't seem to see my internet connection at all. When I type in a website in the Connections wizard, I get a popup box telling me "Contribute cannot find this ... would you like to try to connect anyway?"
I hit Yes and enter my FTP login information. On the next screen, I can hit "Choose" and see all my ftp folders for the site, but if I choose one and hit Next, I get a popup box saying "Contribute cannot verify your connection information. <website> Please contact your administrator for assistance."
I hit Cancel and go to Help, which opens Adobe Community Help, and get a popup saying "The requested page requires an internet connection." and it won't load anything.
Also, attempting to browse to any website through Contribute does not work, I get "This page cannot be displayed" errors for any website I try, including Adobe pages.
Obviously my internet connection is working, as I am posting this message. I opened my regular FTP program and verified that I can indeed connect using that.
Sorry that was a little long-winded.. has anyone else ever had the same strange error? Is there something I'm not doing particularly right?

laurelVISION,
I see that you never got a reply here, did you figure out what it was? I'm having the same issue, when I never have before. Love to hear how you solved it (approximately a year ago!)
Thanks,

Contribute CS5 Network Install

Hi,
I'm trying to package up Contribute CS5 to install across our network.
As per the other CS5 products I initially tried to use the XML deployment file method (as per http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/842/cpsid_84211.html#InstallSource), however there is no deployments folder on my Contribute CD, and I have been unable to locate a suitable install.xml template, even by doing a recorded install.
I have also tried using the tool here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
This works an creates a custom msi which installs fine when I run it logged into Windows. However when I run is as an installer through a group policy or startup script it won't install (all the other CS5 products will install this way fine though, weird!).
The error that the msi installer generates is 'installation sucess or error status: 1603'.
I've checked through http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/408/kb408716.html but with no progress.
Is there a way to debug the install further, or do have any idea why the same command line that is used to install withing a logged on windows session would failed during a startup script
msiexec /i "\\server\share\contributecs5\build\contributecs4.msi" /quiet
Thanks,
Phil

Further to this I have isolated the problem...
When running the MSI under an normal administrator account is installs fine. However when running it either as a startup script/policy install, or via a cmd prompt running as the 'SYSTEM' account the installation fails with the error code 1603.
I have tried emptying the temp files as advised in the Adobe KB article and also, Google Deskbar/Search is not installed.
It is odd that out of all the CS5 products I'm deploying in a similar manner, only Contribute is affected.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Phil

Contribute CS5 Silent Install

Has anyone succeeded in creating a silent install for Contribute CS5? I've tried both the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Addition tool and the setup executable response file parameter referenced in CPSID_82946 and KB405451 respectively.
After generating the MSI install with the AAMEA tool, running the silent install looks likes it going to work and after 5 or 10 minutes puts most of the application in place. But then, the process backs out everything it did and provides no reason in log files other than to say that the installation failed.
Running the set-up.exe with the --record=1 parameter installs the application fine but doesn't generate either the install.xml or the uninstall.xml file that it's supposed to generate.
Adobe support says they don't provide support.
Any help would be appreciated.

We have failed in this as well, and have now given up. I am attempting all manual installs (I have over 160 users), and am not exactly happy. We had it all ready to go to deploy CS4, but got delayed and when we did it, it failed on 3 out of 4 installs. Most with different failures. So I decided to go with CS5 since it was now out and we had the licensing for it, but we couldn't get the installs to work at all over the network. Back to manual. I have customizations on the Welcome.dwt and tasks and need to ensure those are deployed as well, so we are trying manual installs, and I have to give the install to the technicians to do. Even this isn't working well. Need better directions on setting this up for mass deployment.

Contribute CS5 - cannot edit pages

I have just installed trial (full) verstion of Contribute and I connected, can navigate between pages etc without any problem in view mode.
However when I click the edit button it says (after trying to download the page and set up some files to work in): "Contribe encountered a network or file system error. Please try the operation again and contact the administrator if the error continues to occur." and does not create an editing page. If I do it again it creates an editing page but it is only the template and no text (apart from what exists in the template). If I add some text and publish it, it adds the text to the page I was editing adding it to the text already there (but which was not viewable in the edit page).
Any ideas why this is happening? I have never used this programme before. My provider has no idea why this is happening and is not familar with Contribute. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Please clear the preferences and try.
     Delete the Preferences in Library –
           Go to “<username>/Library/Preferences/”   and delete the folder “Adobe Contribute CS5”
     Delete the Preferences in locale -
           Go to “<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/”     and delete the folder “Contribute 6”
If the above doesnot help then check if there any other versions of Contribute on the same machine and clear them also along with CS5 and try again.
Check publishing a plain page from Contribute and reediting the same.
Can you try editing any other page with a different template ?
Could you try the same on any other machine and check?
Can you share the URL ?

Is there a "reveal in project" shortcut CS5 pc?

Is there a "reveal in project" shortcut CS5 pc?
When a subclip is on the TL & I right click it, I can choose "reveal in project" but can not find a way to make a keyboard shortcut in "keyboard customization"

OK, I'm following you. I've got a couple thoughts..
First, I'd avoid subclips altogether, particularly if you're just going to convert them to master clips. In essence, you're marking your master clip and inserting them into a sequence--with a few other steps in between.
Premiere can create a marked duplicate of a master clip simply by dragging it from the Source Monitor to the Project panel without any modifier keys. This will give you another independent reference to the media file, but it will have the in and out points as you created them in the Source Monitor. If you create a series of these, you could then automate them to a sequence, and they will respect the marks you made. Unlike subclips, which are hard stops, you'd have handles on both ends (because they're just marked clip instances) so you could do transitions and the like. Unfortunately, there is no keyboard shortcut or command to do this, so it's a mouse action--probably not going to help with your macro.
I DIDN'T REALIZE I COULD. THE LAST VERSION I HAD WAS CS3 AND THAT CREATED A SUBCLIP EVEN WHEN DRAAGED TO A BIN. NICE WORK COLIN! IT STINKS THAT THERE IS NO KEYBOARD SHORTCUT BUT THIS WILL HELP ME SPEED UP MY EDITING QUITE A BIT!!
But, what about setting up a key on the Contour that marked an out point on your clip in the Source Monitor, and immediately after edited into the active sequence? I suppose you could map the Mark In Point command to one button on the Contour, and the Mark Out Point + Insert to a button right next to it, and you'd be able to rock through a master clip pretty quickly. That way, you'd be cutting out the middleman, so to speak--no subclips, no converting to master clips, no automate to sequence--and you'd still end up with the same result.
THAT IS THE EXACT WAY I'VE ALWAYS HAD IT SET UP. IT IS AMAZINGLY FAST. I WILL KEEP USING SUBCLIPS TO BIN BECAUSE I CAN MACRO THEM HOWEVER I ALREADY KNOW WHEN I AM CUTTING UP THE MC WHICH CLIPS NEED TO BE REFERENCED CLIPS INSTEAD OF SUBCLIPS & I CAN MANUALLY DRAG THEM FROM THE SOURCE WINDOW TO THE BIN.
However, it's possible I'm missing a key part of your workflow here. Curious to hear your thoughts...
NO, YOU NAILED IT COLIN...THANKS SO MUCH!!

Going from LR to PS CS5

When going from LR to PS CS5 and the dialog box comes up "Render using Lightroom" or Open Anyway" which one do you use?

What Dde said. I'll add that if you have a new camera supported in ACR 7 or 8 that isn't in ACR 6, I think "Open Anyway" will open Photoshop if it's not already open, but then might not do anything after that becaus PS/ACR can't open the raw file. Figured that out after a lot of confusion about why Photoshop just sat there.

Contribute Cs5 bug in reading pdf. file

I am using a trial version of Contribute Cs5 on my Mac. When I want to see a pdf. file on my website through Contribute Cs5, after following all the instruction, I got the following message:
The requested URL /SRC_Residents/Interest Group/Walkers schedule/currentmonth__MMtmp315cb6b9/currentmonth.pdf was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I then looked into my website and found that there is an added folder with the above name, but there is nothing in this folder. My file is definitely there because I can see it on my website directly in the same folder as the added folder from Contribute.
I think this is a bug in the Contribute program. Apparently Contribute created this folder but did not put the file in the right place.
I will only consider buying this version if the bug is corrected.
Does the Contribute Cs5 have the same problem in the PC version?
Tsing Bardin

Hi Tsing,
To upload pdf, doc, xls files to your website, you can use the Publish File From My Computer option.
Click File menu, and select Publish File From My Computer from the dropdown menu.
In the resulting dialog, browse to the folder that contains the pdf document, select the pdf document and click Select button. (If you are connected to multiple websites, Contribute will ask you to select which website you would want to upload the file to. Select a website.)
Then, you get the Publish dialog, where, you can choose in which folder you want to publish the file to, and click Publish button.
Now, the file will be uploaded to your website.
Similar to Flash Paper option, latest versions of Contribute has Insert Document as PDF and Insert PDF. So, you can embed a pdf document within your web page and then publish. For more information - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/contribute/cs/using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d1180fba204e-7f91. html
As for the contents being empty in the temporary folder, the contents are deleted after preview in browser is done. That is, after closing the Browser window after Preview in Browser, the contents in the temporary folder are deleted.
