Mutiple contributor contribute through Site Studio

Hi,
Just a quick question here, can multiple user/contributor make a check in through Site Studio at one time?
I use the Site Studio for check in doc from Oracle Portal into UCM. As everyone knows, when do a contribution from Site Studio, only one user can do that at a time. Can we change that so multiple user can do check in at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

First of all, user don't wan to use the native UCM interface,Any detail why?
so I need to find a way for them to be able to do a check in from Oracle PortalActually, as far as I know Oracle Portal has its content store (by default, sadly, not UCM). Personally, I don't know much about it, but when I take the example of WebCenter (once PS3 is finally out), it takes:
- hit a portal button triggering the "Add New Content" activity
- if necessary, provide metadata, or just the content file
- get the file uploaded (at the background, it is stored in UCM by calling a service - most likely)
- alternatively, the ADF component might be capable of drag-and-drop to skip the first two steps
Sorry to repeat myself, but I don't get why you need a SS Site (or even the native UCM) to do this? Isn't the portal sufficient? If you cannot use CPS (yes, I meant this one) you should be able to write a simple Java app (probably interfacing UCM via RIDC or web services) that will do a similar work like UCM check-in form, will look like your users want and will be hosted by your portal. In fact, I'd be surprised if something like that does not exist somewhere in the world (ask at this forum: Oracle Application Server Portal
If you insist to use Site Studio, you solution can look similar to what is described above - create a form-like page whose 'post' button will call a check-in service. If you have a chance to take a look at the Oracle standard Ravenna demo, there is a very similar scenario - Contact Us form, which contains several fields that are transformed to a XML file, checked-in and sent to a workflow for review.

Uploading New iamges - Site Studio Contributor

Currently I am working on developing a site with Site Studio. I have created all the necessary components for user contribution but I have a majro stumbleblock for adding new images. Currently, both the WYSIWYG element and the Image element in Site Studio only allow contributors to select images that are already on the content server. If not on the content server, the users have to check in new content to be able to select it. I want the users to be able to select images directly from their local machine and upload them to the site through site studio and not having to go through ucm, the same way you can upload files by choosing local content and then check it in through site studio. Am I missing something here or it cannot be done this way?
any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I guess, image needs to be in the Content Server. You can try desktop integration suite or webdav so that user can easily checkin the digital assets to the content server.

Site address configuration in site studio

I am using the url "http://10.31.9.229/ucm/idcplg" while connecting to an ucm server through Site studio.But I am unable to view the website(Mysite) designed through the browser using the address http://10.31.9.229/MySite.This is the local machine address specified in the site address in Site studio.

Hi
Can you post the entries done in your httpd.conf (if you are using apache webserver) specific to the site created . If that is done then append/index.htm to the url you are using and then see.
Thanks

Auto assign contentID from Site Studio Designer

We automatically assign ContentIDs in the system upon Check-In using the Auto Number Prefix in the server configuration. However, when adding Site Assets through Site Studio Designer, this appears to have no affect, since that is the Assign Info Form and not the Check-In form.
Any recommendations on enforcing auto-contentIDs from Site Studio Designer?

Hi there,
Personally, I wouldn't want to auto-assign dDocName to Site Studio asset related files (i.e. fragments, layouts, etc). I prefer to provide my own value based on the asset's purpose or name. Really helps you distinguish what that particular asset is for. Having a generic, system derived dDocName makes it harder to trace and associate.

Styling items in Site Studio Contributor

Hello,
Similar to the way that contributors can style text by assigning predefined CSS classes through the style drop-down menu in a Site Studio Contributor form, I would also like to give them the ability to style ordered lists and tables (border-type, mainly). Is this possible? I have tried specifying these styles to be added in the style drop-down menu with no luck, as it seems to ignore any non text-based styles with some exceptions. If accomplishing this is not possible, is there a way to pre-format these lists/tables and give contributors options to pick from? Using WYSIWYG elements is not an acceptable solution for me because most of my contributors do not know anything about HTML and CSS. I come from an Interwoven system that has many features available for administrators to set (which CSS classes are available, context-sensitivity of classes, etc.). I am wondering if there is something similar in UCM.
If I am unclear, please let me know and I will elaborate.
Thank you for your time.

This seems to be covered by the support note 1465975.1 (Unable to Enter into Site Studio Contribution Mode After Upgrading to Firefox 13)
The solution from the note:
If on an 10g system upgrade to Site Studio 10gR4 build 9.0.0.793 or greater.
If on an 11g system upgrade to Site Studio 11g build 11.0.0.786 or greater. For example the 11g MLR 11 for a .6 system has this fix and the 11g MLR 18 for a .5 system has this fix.

(there are few more notes with similar issues, in case this remedy won't help, but it'll do no harm to start with it either way)

Site Studio Contributor as a form

I have a requirement where end users need to fill in a short form (1 x plain text field, 1 x WYSIWYG field) and submit it as an xml file to the content server. We cannot use the Site Studio Contributor in this scenario, but wanted to hook into the Site Studio services/methods/functions mainly for security i.e. cross site scripting etc.
Does anyone know if documentation for services/functions to use? Any tips would be much appreciated.

How to create a site column through Visual Studio 2010?

I was trying to create lists, content type and site columns through Visual Studio 2010. But I could not figure out how to add site column? What item do I need to add for this and what kind of coding is to be done?

Try this
1. Create a Empty project in Visual studio.
2.The Empty SharePoint Project template does not include any Features in the Features folder. To add a new Feature to this project, right -click the Features folder, and click Add Feature. This adds a new Feature component to the folder; double – click the
Feature1 icon in Solution Explorer to modify the Feature ’ s
metadata using the Feature designer. The Title and Description values appear on the Features pages in Site settings. It is a good idea to make these values
descriptive so that administrators will know what they are adding to the site when they activate the feature.
The feature ’ s scope determines where the feature can be activated within SharePoint. Please Note – Certain components, such as site columns, content types, Master pages, and Page Layouts, are installed at the site collection level and made available to all
sites within the collection. These components require that the scope for the feature be set to “ Site. ”
3. Next, add a new item to the project (Right – click project name ➪ Add ➪ New Item) and select the Empty Element template from the Add New Item dialog box.
The Empty Element template is an XML fi le where you can enter CAML Field definitions.
Following is what you will add in your elements.xml file –
< Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/" >
< Field ID="{76C140E1-D827-433B-AD38-257F9594B846}"
Name="CustomCol"
DisplayName="My Custom Site Column"
Group="Custom group"
Type="Text"
Required="FALSE"/ >
< Field ID="{5F516D92-969C-4661-81B9-C9210E2A2FDC}"
Name="Choice Type"
DisplayName="My Choice Type"
Group="Custom group"
Type="Choice"
Required="FALSE" >
< CHOICES >
< CHOICE > Medical < /CHOICE >
< CHOICE > Dental < /CHOICE >
< CHOICE > Vision < /CHOICE >
< CHOICE > Insurance < /CHOICE >
< /CHOICES >
< /Field >
< /Elements >
4. To deploy the Site Columns defined in the Elements file, right – click the project name in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, and select Deploy. This will deploy the solution file to the solution store and activate the Feature in the targeted site collection.

How to set one of the elements in contributable mode to non editable in oracle site studio

Hi,
I am using oracle site studio and webcenter content.In contributable mode for a cdf I have a static element and 4 columns in that(4 elements). I want to enter data in all 4 columns and after that I want to make one of the column as non editable. Is it possible? If yes, kindly let know how this can be achieved.
Thanks in advance

If you don't need to actually display the non-editable region in the editor, then you could do the following:
Add all 4 elements to the region definition.
Add your content/data.
Remove the non-editable element from the region definition.
The content/data will still be stored in the CDF and should be retrievable.

Modifying the Site Studio Contributor Form

Is there a way to modify the wcm.sitestudio.form.htm? I say this because each time I make a simple change to it, Site Studio doesn't use my change. It looks like it's reverting to a different copy other than the one I edited.
I can see a custom/sitestudio/wcm.sitestudio.form.js file - so I'm assuming I can add any Javascript mods there, but what about the form htm file itself?
Basically here's what I'm trying to achieve. I'm using a jquery library to resize certain images on the Site Studio layout files. But when you're in Contributor mode you see these images as full size. I'd like to use that same jquery library when the contributor is in the edit mode to resize the images in it as well.
Thanks.

Update: I found the answer to my problem. I found I can use a simple component to over ride this file.

When should we must create site pages through visual studio?

Generally site pages are created through SP designer. But what are business requirement when we MUST create site pages through visual studio rather than designer? I
mean situation should demand we MUST create site pages through visual studio rather than designer. Need some example .

Check out native doc from Site Studio Contributor

Why can't I (or my users) check out a native document from a dynamic list in contribution mode? Is there any way to accomplish this (besides installing software on every client's computer)? I modified the default dynamic list fragment to use the pdf (web-viewable) link to the document in lieu of the regular Site Studio URL (so that Site Studio doesn't try to apply the document to dynamic converter), as I want to simply display the PDF when the user clicks on it.
All of that works great, and I can still check in documents just fine. However, "Edit Target" doesn't work in contribution mode, and even if I view the info on the document, and check it out from there, it doesn't even give me the link to download the original document. Is there a way around this?
Thanks

I guess, image needs to be in the Content Server. You can try desktop integration suite or webdav so that user can easily checkin the digital assets to the content server.

Site studio contributor data files with sections

Is it possible to have sections with in site studio contribution data files and display list of section titles as hyper links in site studio site and show only that section content on click of section title.
Number of sections are vary from document to document (So we can't use one element as a single section).
Thanks...

I am not aware that out-of-the-box Site Studio would have such an options.
You do have sections (defined in Region Definition), so most likely you'd have to customize your user experience (so that only sections defined on the fly are shown). Note that Region Definition corresponds to a logical "object" (you may abstract that sections are object's attributes), so rather than show/hide sections you might also want to select a different region definition. I also remember that some time ago Site Studio was able to do "lazy load" (display a section only if user asked for it - this requirement tried to address slow loading times of the page); unfortunately, I'm not sure how this feature can be turned on.

Some questions related to site studio 10gR4

Hi everyone
We are developing a solution using UCM, and I have couple of questions regarding the usage of the site studio 10gR4.
It will be really great if any one of you can either answer or point me to the rite document/webpage where I can get these answers.
The requirement is, we are going to use the site studio to develop the page template, and place holder, region definitions, element definitions etc. And then the contributor will contributor will contribute content using the contributor mode. But, there is another website in which this page template will be embedded, a Java based website.
So it will be like, we create this page template, and call it inside a web application using CIS.
Now my questions are
Q1. Is there any service or CIS API to call page template? I have seen the page holder service, but don't know if there is any for page template.
Q2. If there is a service I can call Page template, will that page template be in HTML format including all the sub elements like place holder, region definition etc?
Q3. Now suppose if I am able to get all the required content using either the place holder or page template service call. Now I am displaying it to the user as an embedded content inside my other Java based website. Can I still do the Cntrl+Shift+F5 and call it in the contributor mode? If I am not, is there any way to achieve it? Because my contributors want to contribute while seeing the whole website and not just the embedded page template.
Q4. Can anyone tell me about all the services Site studio supports? or any document where I can find them?
Thanks in advance
Rupal chawla

Thanks for the replies, but I have found the answers to all of the questions, i will put them here for others as well ...
Q1. Is there any service or CIS API to call page template? I have seen the page holder service, but don't know if there is any for page template.
Nope, there is no service to call Page template.
Q2. If there is a service I can call Page template, will that page template be in HTML format including all the sub elements like place holder, region definition etc
Since there is no service to call page template, this question remains invalid. However, the answer to the other part with reference to place holder will be, the place holder CIS call will return the HTML that can be embedded in the calling framework. This HTML will contain everything present inside the place holder like fragments, RD, RT etc.
Q3. Now suppose if I am able to get all the required content using either the place holder or page template service call. Now I am displaying it to the user as an
embedded content inside my other Java based website. Can I still do the Cntrl+Shift+F5 and call it in the contributor mode? If I am not, is there any way to achieve it? Because my contributors want to contribute while seeing the whole website and not just the embedded page template.
Atually the Cntrl+Shift+F5 generates an event which calls the begin_edit_session service, since we can associate this event with anything, it hardly matters if we are using Cntrl+Shift+F5 or a button click or a link on the page, the sole purpose remains calling the begin_edit_session service. In the contribution mode, we will only see the embedded part that is coming from the UCM and not if anything is present in in the embedding framework
Q4. Can anyone tell me about all the services Site studio supports? or any document where I can find them?
placeholder service, and begin edit session service, obviously there are many of them (you can see in <UCM>\CS\custom\SiteStudio\resources\ss_services.htm), but for CIS integration these are the useful one's.

Metadata values not showing in Site Studio layout using Idoc Script

Hi All,
We have a SS layout (secondary) with replaceable regions for showing content that is listed in a primary page dynamic list.
Part of the layout shows contribution elements of Contributor Data File content items, but part of layout also shows metadata values. We use  to show the content item Title with no problems.
However, for some content items, some metadata values are not showing on the layout - specifically a custom metadata field called xFinishDate (which is of type 'Date' in Config Man). The code  simply does not work (nothing is displayed) for some content items, despite definitely having a set FinishDate value. Some other content items show this value fine.
The  value works for ALL items, but the  does not, and there appears to be no difference between the items that it does, and does not work for. They are all CDF, same DocType, same CheckIn profile, etc.
The non-working items are all released and indexed. Their Content Information in Content Server shows complete metadata. I have resubmitted the non-working items for reconversion in Repo Man but no luck.
Is there something I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Luke.

Actually the default DOC_INFO resultset that is on the page seems to be for the content item being loaded into the secondary layout's replaceable regions. This is why DOC_INFO.dDocTitle gives the results expected.
However, I think I have discovered why the xFinishDate value was not showing. Using sapan's code (and modifying it a bit) I was able to print out all the metadata field names and values for default DOC_INFO resultset.
Using this URL as an example: http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011217
At the top of page region (replaceable) where the Contributor Data File is loaded into, the DOC_INFO resultset is relevant to the content item that is being loaded into the layout (content ID: BD3_011217 - as per the URL format), which is what we want.
However, throughout the Contributor Data File content, if a link is made using the Site Studio link wizard via FCK Editor (in the above case, it is the position description link, which is a link to a PDF) and the link is 'Link to a file' and the 'Choose Target section' is selected as 'Use default website section metadata', the resulting link looks like "http://www.bond.edu.au/about-bond/jobs-at-bond/BD3_011216". Any references to the DOC_INFO resultset on the page after the instance of this link now use the metadata of the content item referred to in the link, not the original content item. I have dumped out the DOC_INFO fields/values in different parts of the layout to prove this. The linked content item has no xFinishDate value so this is why nothing displays (displaying xFinishDate needs to happen after the link to the position description).
I guess I need to either:
- change the way the link is made to the content item to "Link to the Content Item's URL", but I would prefer not to expose the resulting path e.g. "[!--$HttpRelativeWebRoot--]groups/group-name/@account-name/documents/content-type/content-id.pdf"
- explicitly make a resultset using  with the content ID I know I want and use it instead of the default DOC_INFO one. Is there any other way to make a resultset comprising of a single item's metadata?
9.45 SS_GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
■ Description: This is a wrapper around the regular CS GET_SEARCH_RESULTS
service. It allows some Site Studio features to be specified simply as flags and have
the real query syntax be constructed on the server. It can modify the standard
'SearchResults' resultset to contain an additional column called 'ssUrl' which will
contain the Site Studio-friendly url for all of the search results.
■ Parameters:
– siteId: the unique identifier of the site (required).
– ssLimitScope: True/False, restricting scope to within the site only (optional).
– ssUserSearchText: user-supplied search text (optional).
– ssWebsiteObjectType: object type (optional).
– computeFriendlyUrls: True/False, modify results to include ssUrl (optional).
■ Returns: resultset named ’Search Results’.
■ Security: The user must have at write access to at least one security group on the
content server
Thanks to everyone for their help. Almost there!
