Multi-user site

Hi
I have used iWeb to create a couple of websites for my own use. However, I am now about to attempt designing a website for our community use. I have been asked if others will be able to remotely add to, or amend some sections of this site.
I could not see how this could be done as all the files & software reside on my hard disk.
Would love some advise on this if possible.
Phil
PS I am using iWeb '08

Phil ~ Although it's possible to pass iWeb's key Domain file around to other Mac users running the same version of iWeb '08, it's not really practical. Instead, consider a web-based "social networking" site such as Ning. Info about Ning is HERE.
There are many other web-based design apps — such as Weebly. Just set it up with a general user name & password and also set up a new web-based email account to go with it. Then those who you've divulged the above to can update the site.
Ning allows more control in this regard as you would be the "Network Creator" and have more privileges.

Global search and replace on large-scale multi-user sites

Is there a way for Dreamweaver to select only the files that
are found when using the find and replace facility? This would make
updating large websites a lot easier.
From time to time I need to perform small changes to text or
code (that obviously is not contained in an include file or library
item) sitewide. As the site is administered by multiple users, it
uses the check-in/check-out system, which means that before editing
a file, it needs to be checked out. Thus, we can't just use search
and replace directly, we have to check out the relevant files
before performing the replace routine. The problem is selecting
only those files which will be affected by the search and replace
(and perform the operation in minutes) rather than selecting
everything (and spending hours).
Since it seems one is unable to select only files that appear
in the search results, I have to manually identify the folder that
holds the files with the results, and then check it out. As the
files which need to be edited might be scattered around the whole
site, this often means that I have to check out whole folders close
to the site root. The check-out command will include everything in
a folder, and the site contains thousands of files (which has to be
checked back in afterwards), so obviously this is a heavy and
time-consuming operation.
Does anyone know if DW has a way of selecting only the
relevant documents, or have suggestions for other ways of doing
this? I get the feeling that this is most easily achievable by
using tools outside DW, but I hesitate to go outside DW since it
would interfere with DW's site managment system.

I don't think you will find anyone here with such experience,
not the least
reason being that Library items run out of useful steam at
about 100 pages.
To use them on larger sites is just too tedious and risky,
honestly. Is
there any possibility to change to server-side includes?

Multi User Conference Error (Multiple Subnets)

Hello,
I do not have a Mac OS X Server, but I was told that the OS X Server used Jabber and I am using a Jabber server (Windows based). I was hoping to find someone who has general knowledge of what I'm doing to possibly help out. I did originally post this question here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4921360#4921360
but I have not gotten a solution yet. It was suggested I post here because they are both Jabber servers.
Basically, I purchased 3 identical iMac computers. They are all running OS X version 10.4.9 with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB of RAM. They are all running iChat AV 3.1.8. For authentication, we are using a Windows based Jabber server.
My company has three locations connected via a hardware VPN. Each site has their own subnet and all ports are open between the three sites.
When we first purchased the Mac computers, two went to Location X and were put on Subnet X. The other one was shipped to Location Y and put on Subnet Y. We tested three way video conferencing and it worked fine. We then packed up one of the computers and shipped it out to Location Z on Subnet Z. I can connect to Location X and Location Z on a 1 to 1 basis, but I can't begin a 3 way conversation. It tells me the user in Location Z can't enter a multi user conference.
Audio chat works, as well as text chat. Video chat does not. Based on the specs, I don't believe it is a hardware issue and I don't believe bandwidth is an issue. I spoke with tech support and they said I need only 100 kbps, which I have above and beyond.
As per my previous post in the iChat discussion, the bandwidth needed is actually 384k, which we have. It was also suggested that I run the cron scripts, which did not help. All ports are open, which is not something we need to consider.
I believe the root of the issue is the fact they are all on different subnets, but I can't seem to figure out how to fix that. It was suggested that I use Bonjour as a test, but I do not want a huge amount of traffic running around on the network as it detects the two Macs I need it to find. I have close to 400 users (most with two computers), over 100 servers, 50 users in each of the remote sites...and then to do that over a VPN.....
Any and all help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance.
P.S. - I am not super experienced at Mac, but I can usually find my way around. I have been mostly a PC guy most of my life.

Hi,
I appreciate that it was suggested that you post the question on this group, but I'm not sure that this is jabber technology problem.
I feel it is very important that you clarify some points for me.
Are you saying that the problem is only at location Z?
Can you confirm exactly what happens when the ichat Z tries to start the the way conference? Do the other clients get any messages (most important - does the status of client Z change in the window of clients X and Y?)
Need to know what happens when X and Y initiates the video chat.
Please clarity the above.
Jabber as a protocol set is very robust to issues of subnet and firewalls. The initiation of the group conference is processed via the jabber server, but once that phase in complete, the clients communicate directly with each other. If voice works, the video should also work, as the only difference is number of ports used (and bandwidth).
To help, I can give you access to a jabber server outside of your network to test things.

Multi-user access?

I would like to switch over our organization's website from blogspot to iweb. Right now, several of us have access to the blogspot site so that we can all post. Will I loose multi-user access if I switch to iweb? And, if not, will everyone have to have access to my personal mac account in order to post?
Thanks for the help.

Having multiuser access requires that everyone share the Domain file where iWeb keeps its data and that each person only use the latest version of it. Of course each user must also have a Mac and iWeb installed as well. Personally I would stick with blogspot.

Multi-currency site with offline processing

Is it possible to have a Multi-currency site with offline credit card processing? The offline credit card facility would be in Australia, so all transactions would be in Australian dollars, but the site would display either AUD or USD, depending on the user's selection.

To display prices in different currencies you will need to setup different domains or subdomains for each currency as per this article http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/521/bc_521.html

4.3 Multi User Mode; Where?

According to Samsungs Official Site and the 4.3 Upgrade it talks about having us have "Multi User Mode" Which means you can pass your smartphone to someone else, they can log in and have access to all their stuff (emails Im thinking)
But I cant seem to find it on my cell phone. How bout you?
So then a Samsung Agent said it wasnt currently available on my device and gave me a list of what did change.
It said "Updated Interface: Home/Apps/Lock/Notification Panel" So I asked....what changed on Lock screen...perhaps the Multi User ability?
She said "No, a signature lock screen" I said "Hmmm" Yeah you have the ability to use your signature to lock unlock your device.
I said ....."I didnt get that update"
So I'm here asking the rest of you...how do I access the Multi Users function...where is it and also did anyone else get a "signature" option for lock screen?
Thanks

Sorry it took so long to respond; been busy.
Okay well what I viewed was off of Samsung's website so I know Verizon has nothing to do with it; just kinda sucks that its advertised and I'm mis-informed by the creator of my phone LOL
Providing Verizon will let me provide a link to a 3rd party site heres the link I got the info off of:
http://m.samsung.com/us/article/premium-suite-update-for-galaxy-devices?marsLinkCategory=mphone:mphone&MKM_RID=0130085086&MKM_MID=4289732&CID=eml-mb-cp-1013-499
Note at the very top of that page (link I provided) it says this: Our latest software update opens up a new world for your Galaxy S® 4, Galaxy Note® II and Galaxy S® III with Android 4.3, Galaxy Gear compatibility and an emphasis on security and privacy (no mention of the word Tablet, unless one of those words is implied?....myself I own a "Galaxy Note 10.1" tablet)

Multi User Skype

Multi User Skype was great until the latest software upgrade, which in my opinion was actually a downgrade. It is now awful - it keeps on dropping out - then users can't connect. It is totally unreliable. Very dissappointing.

File Discrepancies for Multi Users

Hi ...
We are running RH7 and RSC3.1 with 3 users - We identified
(only yesterday) that after User 1 had deleted one topic file from
Project Manager and added several others ... User 2 and 3 had
broken links for these topics.
We are able to update existing topics by one user, who check
in, then user 2 and 3 can get the latest version and instantly view
the changes - lovely!! Exactly what we would expect ...
But the same is not occurring when we remove or add entire
topics to both the Project Manager and the TOC ...
User 2 and 3 see the topics in the TOC with the dreaded red
cross through them ... and have to try and locate the file or
restore broken links etc ... to get their view of the project in
sync with User 1. This seems to defeat the whole purpose of being
able to have a multi user authoring environment????
A major concern of this problem appears to be the risk of
undoing each others work by potentially restoring files that
another user intended to remove ...
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues ... we are in a
big organisation and are very restricted in terms of our ability to
access the servers etc ... but I want to know if there is something
we should be checking or doing differently from an application
perspective? Any advice or ideas are greatly appreciated...
Many thanks ...
Frustrated!

Hi Fi@qldpol, and welcome to the board. With your situation,
there are two likely possibilities:
1. Was your project added to source control via RoboHelp, or
was it initially added using RoboSource Control? If it was added
from RoboSource Control, then that is the problem.
2. If #1 is not the problem, then you might be having
problems with some of the users' CPD files. First, have everyone
make backups of the local version of their project (the files
actually residing on their PCs). Then have User 2 and User 3 delete
their copy of the project, and replace it with a copy of User 1's
local files. Before they open the project, they should delete the
cpd and pss files. After they delete those files, they can open the
project as usual and let the cpd file rebuild. We have to do this
every so often with some of our projects to get everyone
synchronized.
Hope that helps.

I have windows, one computer but multi users. home sharing is on. how can i share music between users on one computer?

I have windows. One computer but multi users. Home sharing is on. 2 apple accounts-1 per user. 4 devices-2 iphones and 2 ipods per user. How can we share music on one computer between 2 users?

Hi Justinece, I've solved the problem in this way:
In my wife user profile I've set in itunes settings/advanced the path to my music library: /Users/"MY NAME"/Music/iTunes/Itunes media.
Than, from my wife profile using my administrator user and password I've set the "read/write" privileges on the above mentioned folder.
Finally I've added the folder in my wife's library taking care to not duplicate it ( leave blank the flag in itunes setting/advanced).
I really don't understand what's the use of home sharing...

Trying to access Lion server remote using multi-user access, but from a legacy Leopard system

Just purchased a mini server running Lion, and got screen sharing working fine from my legacy system (32-bit so Leopard only). However, I would like to run in multi-user mode, so someone can use the Lion system and another person can access their own account, from the older Leopard system, at the same time. Using multi-user rather than screen sharing. But Leopard does not have the option on the Finder/Share Screen command, the pop-up window to select screen sharing or new virtual session. So, is there a way still to run a new virtual session from a remote client running Leopard? Since the multi-user capability resides on the Lion server, it should be possible, but how, without the pop-up menu?

Multi User Calendar Display Issue

When we moved to GW2012 one of our departments that uses a Multi User calendar (5 users in total) noticed some strange display issues.
When User1 is looking at her Multi User Calendar, the client is displaying her appointments in User2's column as well. But if you look at User2's Multi User calendar, you don't see any of User1's appointments in User2's column, so it appears to be a display issue with User1. This same issue is happening with one other user.
All users are on Client 12.0.2, Build 108211 . Interestingly if we look at the calendar on a machine running the GW8 client this display issue does not occur. I have also gone as far as rebuilding the calendar from scratch but this hasn't changed anything.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Steve

Hi
If you open a Service Request with Novell Technical Services you will receive this Field Test File patch for the GroupWise 2012 Client. It is specifically to fix issues with multi-user calenders. Please let us know if you are in a position to open an SR.
Many thanks.

Set multi user column with PowerShell used to work in 2010 but no longer works in 2013

In SharePoint 2010 I used PowerShell to set the value of multi user people columns and it worked really well. I attempt to use the same PowerShell to set the same column type in SharePoint 2013 and it fails.
here is the PowerShell that I use in 2010:
$web = Get-SPWeb "http://intranet"
$list = $web.lists["TestList"]
$item = $list.items.add()
$item["Title"] = "Test multi user column"
$users = @("Domain\user1", "Domain\user2")
$userList = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection
foreach($user in $users)
$spUser = $web.EnsureUser($user)
$userValue = new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($web, $spUser.ID, $spUser.Name)
$userList.Add($userValue)
$item["MultiUserColumn"] = $userList
$item.update()
I have used this on three SharePoint 2013 farms with differing results. On two of them I receive an error when running $item.update(): Exception calling "Update" with "0" argument(s): "Invalid look-up value. A look-up
field contains invalid data. Please check the value and try again."
If I take one of the users out of the $users list then it works fine, but it will not allow multiple users to be set with PowerShell. I can use the GUI to add more than one user but not PowerShell.
Does anyone know if these methods have changed in 2013? I haven't been able to find anyone else with this issue.
mmm... coffee...

Not sure but maybe something to do with casting. Below is the code snippet from one of the blogs. Try modifying your script like below and see if still you get the error
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection]$lotsofpeople = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValueCollection
$user1 = $w.EnsureUser("domain\user1");
$user1Value = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($w, $user1.Id, $user1.LoginName)
$user2 = $w.EnsureUser("domain\user2");
$user2Value = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldUserValue($w, $user2.Id, $user2.LoginName);
$lotsofpeople.Add($user1Value);
$lotsofpeople.Add($user2Value);
$i["lotsofpeoplefield"] = $lotsofpeople;
$i.Update();
#-or-
$l.Fields["lotsofpeoplefield"].ParseAndSetValue($i,$lotsofpeople);
$i.Update();

10.6.2 SMB - QB 2005 PC won't run in Multi User

Hi there,
This is a pretty specific issue but i'll throw this out anyway.
I setup a brand new 10.6.2 server alongside our old 10.4.11 server.
I cloned the contents of the "shared data" from the old box to the new one.
We have had the SMB service running for Quickbooks 2005 running on 2 PCs (Xp Pro clients), shared via QB's "Multi User" mode.
The new server's SMB share, identical in permissions etc to the old one, will not allow QB to open the file in Multi User mode. It gives an error to the effect of "Your company file has been damaged". My attempts to repair the QB file had no effect.
If I copy the same company file back onto our old Tiger Server's SMB share, it works fine. I assume this is simply a difference in Samba versions, but I have no idea how to troubleshoot it.
I obviously have a workaround for now, but it's less than ideal to have an entire Xserve on to share a Quickbooks file.
Any insight would be appreciated.
~p

Bumped into this article; I'll post back after i give it a shot.
http://edoceo.com/liber/network-samba-quickbooks
The gist of it:
"the directories that will be the root of the share must be owned by the group that the users who will access are in and they must be able to write"

I purchased the multi-user iworks and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive but didn't pay to fix the CD drive. My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive). My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

Set Database Back to Multi User from Single User

I am using SharePoint Services 3.0 (SP1) with default configuration options, which installs the Microsoft##SSEE instance of SQL to my local C:\ drive.
While attempting to relocate the files to another drive, I set one of the databases (as recommended) to Single User by using the SQL Server Management Express tool.
I cannot now reset that database to Multi User, even by executing the query
exec sp_dboption 'database_name', 'single user', ''FALSE'
again by using the Management Express Tool.
Can someone please help, in plain english???? Thanks

I have similar issue.
I have took backup of WSUS (Windows Server 2002 R2) Windows internal database using SQL Server 2008 Management Studio and restored on Windows Server 2012 R2 Server.
Now SUSDB database was in Single User mode. I have tried ALTER DATABASE <<Database Name>> SET MULTI_USER WITH NO_WAIT and i'm getting blow error.
Msg 5069, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER DATABASE statement failed.
How i can change it Multi User?
Thanks
