Multiple Designers Working on Same Site in DreamWeaver, HELP!

Here are the specifics:
Mac based design team
Three designers using CS4
Three designers using CS2
Designers working on the same website
Website is on a network drive (all working files are on the network drive, no users have website files on their local machines)
Website is hosted on an external server (this is where we upload the files when they are ready to go live, we use DreamWeaver to upload)
Here is the problem:
The site we have is a medium sized site, there are a number of different pages and images in this site.
When we start DreamWeaver, it takes forever.
When we work in DreamWeaver on this site, it takes forever.
There is a significant lag when opening a file or opening a folder within DreamWeaver.
Two key problems:
The number of delays is a problem, it adds up to a lot of wasted time.
Starting up DreamWeaver takes forever.
Other notes:
If the solution works only for the CS4 users, that is okay. Anything solution is better than the current situation. The CS2 users will be upgraded soon enough.
My guess is that our current setup is probably not the best method.
The BIG question:
What would be the best recommended way to have multiple users over a local network work on one website in DreamWeaver that is hosted on an external server?

Well, this sounds more like an IT question, but it seems to me if 4 people are all using the same program sitting on your server, it is going to be slow.
I dont think that some designers having CS4 and 2 has any effect, its all HTML/CSS or.... so that should not be a worry. I would think if you purchased more DW licenses for the individual machines it would speed thinks up. They can all fish from the same server for files.

Multiple people working on same iWeb domain.

I am trying to rebuild my site after upgrading to iWeb'08 and would love to be able to have multiple people work on different areas of the site to speed up the process. How do I sync them back without loosing links. Can I ever have them exist in one file again. I believe that I can manually publish to folder then put them all in same folder.
If there is any advice you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

Advice?
Don't try it.
You would need multiple versions of the Domain.sites folder created by iWeb and there is no way to merge them into just one file.

How to get 2 builders working on same site

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to DW and need some help in setting up 2 users
to work on a web page at the same time on separate computers.
If anyone could run it by me it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

As a clarification, you can't have two developers work on the same page at the same time. Same site, yes. Same page - no. You'll have to "hand it" back and forth. One work on the page, check it in, then the other. I've found doing this and having IM or Skype chat, or the like running so you can communicate back and forth as you go makes for a really good workflow.

How can I distinguish multiple tabs of the same site in the tab bar?

Hello,
I've been following some massive open online courses (MOOCs) and its been necessary to have several tabs open at the same time for the same site. I would like to be able to distinguish these tabs by being able to put a tag instead of the site url ('instructions', 'template', 'code', 'scratch', 'docs' etc. etc) and/or a colour code.
Does anyone know if and how this can be done?
Many thanks

This one colors tabs, but the author warns that it doesn't work with other tab-related extensions, so you probably need to keep searching for one that does everything you want:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/colorfultabs/
If you don't find a do-it-all extension, you can modify the tab titles with a userscript that is specific to that website. This is because the tab displays the text designated in the page as its title.
You either could "hard code" the list of words for each of the pages, or you could have a script extract information from the page, for example, the first main heading, or some other predictable bit of data. The script then would insert your preferred wording as the title of the page and Firefox will show that on the tab.
To see how that appears, so you know whether it would be useful, you could do this experiment:
On a web page that has useless tab text, open the Web Console using command+alt+k (Windows: Ctrl+Shift+k). In the line at the bottom next to the caret, paste the following code and press Enter:
document.title="Magic!";
If you decide you want a script written for this, you could try the request forum on userscripts''.''org:
[http://userscripts.org/forums/2 Ideas and script requests - Userscripts.org]
Although some people offer small payments, that usually isn't necessary to motivate people to help.
Let me give you a brief warning about that site, though: over the past year, a lot of popular scripts were duplicated and reposted with additional code that hijacks your Facebook account. Be cautious when installing scripts, check the reviews, make sure there are no references to Facebook.

How to make multiple portals work in same domain (wlp 9.2)? IMPORTANT !!!

We have domain where one portal application is in production now and other portal application have to deploy in the same domain.
The first one is using global scoped DataSources and the new one is using application scoped because they have to use own schemas in the database.
Also Group and User/role management have to work application scoped, meaning that in one's portal admin console shows only users/groups/roles to that portal.
How do I do this and what is the optional/best practises to do this kind of configuration, configure and deploy multiple portals in the same domain ?
I get so far that I make new SQLAuthenticator and XCAMLRoleMapper to the new portal but when the LDAP and database goes out of sync and I delete P13N -tables and LDAP, server start creates only to the first portal database the needed rows and delegated admin management doesn't work in the new one at all.
I have read all bea's documents related to JDBC - application scoping, deploying, security P13N and I can't get enough information from it to make this work.
Thanks !

You may want to ask in the weblogic.developer.interest.portal forum.
I don't believe that group and user/role management can be application
scoped.

Multiple person working on same planning area

Hello,
Can anyone please suggest how multiple people can work on same planning area at the same time. We are working on implementation project and our team has to work on different planning levels in the same planning area. But locking prevents us to achieve the same.
Any ideas?
Regards

Hello,
Regarding the change of the Area itself, it looks logic that two person cannot change its design at the same time.
If I remember well if somebody is changing the Area, then everything is locked. But it is not the case if two person are working on separate Levels.
A very important thing (correct me if I'm wrong) is that if you have been in change mode of an Area, Level, Package, etc... in your current BPS0 session, you will still lock it untill you get out of BPS0.
Then, if in your team everybody knows on wich level they have to work and then don't go in change mode of other elements it should work (but not for the area because it contains all the subelements...).
By the way, check also <a href="http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=01100107900000000342&_EVENT=REDIR&_NNUM=635244">Note 635244 - Locking transaction data in SEM-BPS</a>:
<i>Two parameters are only designed to facilitate the Customizing process, if users
carry out Customizing in transaction BPS0 within a project.
o SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK: This parameter has the effect that transaction
data is not locked at all. Never use this parameter in a production
system. As of Support Package 14 for Release 3.1B, parameter
SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK is released by an additional switch in table
upc_dark2: For this purpose you have to maintain a record with
param = ENABLE_NO_LOCK and value = X in table upc_dark2. Only then
the system includes parameter SEM_BPS_NO_LOCK. The parameter can
then be useful if you want to test functions or the manual planning
with 'test data' in Customizing.
o SEM_BPS_SAVE_UNLOCK: This parameter only works in transaction BPS0;
it has the effect that the system unlocks data (if possible) after
it has been saved. Therefore, the system only simulates an exit and
reentry in transaction BPS0 with the last active detail
application. Therefore, the above parameter can be helpful if many
people work on Customizing in transaction BPS0, because objects can
be unlocked earlier.</i>
You can add these parmeters to a user id in the "Parameter"tab in T-Code SU01.

Windows 2008 AD Sites and Services: Multiple Connection links between same sites

Hello,
Our AD Sites & Services is showing Multiple Connection links between the same sites. How is this possible and can i delete extra ones?

Hi,
As Calin Liviu mentioned, you do not have to manage connection objects. In fact, changes that you make to connection objects that the KCC creates automatically are ignored.
If the site is added to more than one site link, it might be an interim site between other sites that are added to this site link.

Multiple people working on same instance

Can two people work on same instance at the same time. If one user makes the change and resfreshes the page, he sees the changes made by other user?
Edited by: JoshMachine on Jul 8, 2009 9:00 AM

Hi,
Are you sure you want to go the Split-N (now called "Multiple" in Oracle BPM 10g) route? From your earlier thread, here's what I think you're trying to do:
Just to clarify again - (1) One guy has a task assigned to him
- (2) He assigns same task ( creates duplicate copy ) and assigns to some else in different role.
- (3) Now both should edit the task , meaning if one changes the tasks , other person should see it as well.>
I'll typically use a Split-N when I have a dynamic number of copies I want to create that is determined at runtime. Examples include:
a) you form an adhoc committee of people in a role and you want them to approve disapprove a proposal and you determine who's on the committee and the number of people on the committee at runtime.
b) you have a request for quote from a variety of different suppliers and if it's a large order you send out x number of requests to suppliers and if it's a small order you send out y number of requests to suppliers
c) you have a batch of things (e.g. healthcare claims) represented by one work item instance and you want to have workers treat the individual claims as single work items inside the same process (a single work item might have 100 claims that would spawn 100 work items).
If you're still thinking you need to use a Split-N activity, this thread explains how to use it: Re: multiple-join: get value of each participant
I could be wrong, but I think you might be better served if you use a Split activity and not a Split-N.
For your use case it sounds like you'd have two transitions coming out of the Split activity.
To meet your first criteria ("One guy has a task assigned to him"), one transition would go to an Automatic activity where the original person is assigned the copy of the original instance (use "next.participant" feature to assign it to him). Following this Automatic activity, it would flow to an Interactive activity where only the original participant could edit the work item instance.
To meet your second criteria ("He assigns same task ... and assigns to some else in different role"), you need to add a second transition that would go to an Automatic activity where the second person is assigned the copy of the original instance. Following this Automatic activity, it would flow to an Interactive activity where only the second person could edit the work item instance.
Both Interactive activities would have a transition to the Split's Join activity.
To meet your third criteria ("Now both should edit the task , meaning if one changes the tasks , other person should see it as well"), right mouse click the Split activity -> click "Properties" -> click "Advanced" on the left side -> uncheck the checkbox beside the text "Generate independent Copies". Now if one edits their copy, the other will see the change reflected.
The only concern I have with this approach is a bug I encountered last week when I turned off generate copies in a Split using Oracle BPM 10g. In 10g, I noticed that the instance remained locked occasionally after one of the participants "touched" the instance. Once locked, I could not invoke the copy again. It did not happen every time, but often enough where I decided to work around the new 10g bug by leaving the property set to generate copies and writing to an outside database table once one of the people edit it and reading from the same outside database table before someone edits it.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Book file & Dropbox: Multiple people working on same book file

I am trying to use the book file and have run into multiple issues. We have saved the book file and all relevant InDesign files on dropbox. There are two of us who work on the book file at the same time. We have the book file open together but work on different files from the book, never working on the same file at the same time.
A few of the issues we have run into are as follows:
1. The book file does not show the InDesign files the other person added, when opening on a different computer.
2. When saving the book file, from the panel, it will tell us someone else saved the file and if we want to overwrite their file.
3. When working on of the files from the book and I try to save the file (ctrl+s) I get error messages telling me the network connection was modified by another process. InDesign then has en error message it needs to shut down and start back up to recover documents. After it starts back up it can't recover document due to error(11).
Has anyone used the bookfile with a cloud service, while multiple people work on different files for the book? For example, we want one person to work on the files 1-5 and another on 6-10 for the book file at the same time.

Only one person can work on a book file at the same time.
You cannot work this way on the files.
Person A adds a file to the book
Saves
Person B adds a file to the book
Saves
Persons B version overwrites Person A file.
Consider giving 1 person the duty of updating the Book File.
Only 1 person can work on a file at the same time - consider splitting files you're working on into folders
Folder>Person A
Folder>Person B
Add files that person should be working on.
Person in charge of updating the book file will update from both folders.
The way you're working will not work.

Does Muse support multiple renditions of the same site?

I have built a desktop website, but would also like to build a mobile version of the same site.
Can Muse support a desktop and mobile edition of the same website? So for example, if the user is viewing the site on an iPhone, they see a mobile-optimised site?
I ask this because as it stands, it appears that Muse can't create fully responsive sites yet - or am I wrong?
Thanks

Hey JDnm,
It is possible to create a mobile phone layout but this stands apart from the desktop version. Both can even have completely different content. So Muse can create different versions for mobile, tablet or desktop. But they are not responsive in the true meaning of the word. When you scale down the browser window on a desktop the Muse site doesn't switch to the mobile version. A true responsive site has a central code that contains the content which is adapted to the device or browser size through the use of different sets of cascading style sheets (or querys).
I hope that future versions combine the Edge reflow technology with Muse's layout ease. Managing three sets of content through Muse is a bit of a hassle today.
So you are not wrong, Muse serves up different versions for different devices but doesn't allow you to build true responsive pages.

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Multiple logins from the same site not working with iCloud Keychain

Hello all,
I am trying to use the iCloud Keychain with my iPhone and iPad. I use a website that has two different logins, each with its own password. On Mavericks, I am able to select the correct username/password from my iCloud Keychain by pressing the "down" arrow in the username box.
However, with my iOS devices, I am unable to access multiple logins. It merely Autofills the most recently used combination on whichever device most recently visited the site.
Is there any way to get multiple login support working for an iOS device?
Thank you!

How can I actually open multiple tabs of the same site, instead of performing the new "switch to tab" action?

For example, sometimes I would like to open multiple tabs of Google Maps to get directions to multiple locations, and I haven't found a way to do so without open a new instance of the browser. Thanks.

Firefox opens new tabs automatically, so i end up with multiple tabs of the same site. it's like it is consistantly trying to restore my last session.

Firefox keeps reloading tabs from my recent history over and over. So i might end up with multiple tabs of Pandora, Google home page or other sites I go to all the time-all running at the same time . rebooting does not help.
