My Adim users Contribute CS3 however

My wed designer uses a version of Adobe Suite that allows for
this use of Contribute CS3,... now that I must buy Contribute CS4
will my web designer be able to grant me permission to use the CS4
on the various web sites she builds and I do the SEO work later
after the site are up. When i used the trial CS3 about a year ago
it worked flawlessly,.... but now having to buy CS4 will it work
just as well as the trial CS3 did?

you can see the layout in question at www.cssdd.org - sorry
for not including it.

Contribute CS3 Login Issue

I can not log into my Contribute CS3 however I have the correct password and username. How can I fix this issue so I can get logged in?

I thought I would post my own solution just in case someone
else might experience the same. It is most likely I inadvertantly
posted an out of date Application.cfc or login.cfm file that
referenced a data source no longer in use. Once these files and the
datasource were reconciled, all went well. Such a "simple" thing
that took a good day to resolve.

How do I browse directory contents in Contribute CS3?

Hi everyone!
I have one of our users uploading photos to our website. At the moment she uses an FTP connection via Adobe Contribute CS3 to our web server. This has worked great in the past. However, at the moment she's uploading pictures to a dynamic website [Wordpress] and not using Contribute to edit the pages directly [as this is obviously done with the Wordpress Administration web panel]. The method she has been using is, within Adobe Contribute CS3, File>Publish File from My Computer. This is great, but the problem is that she can only upload one file at a time, and if she's already uploaded the file, she has no way of knowing she's uploaded it before, except for that Contribute appends a 001 at the end of the file name.
How can she access a folder structure within Contribute CS3, treating it like an FTP client? I'm sure this must be doable. Yes, I could install an FTP client, but she's very comfortable using Contribute CS3 and uses this application for other portions of the website which are static.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi,
To check if she's already uploaded the file, she can click the Choose button in Contribute. On clicking Choose button, Choose File dialog will be shown. In this dialog, she can browse to the appropriate folder in which she had published the images, and verify the contents.
For uploading multiple files through Publish File from my Computer, I do not think it is possible as of now. There can be a workaround though, insert all the images you want to a web page, and publish the web page to the website. Then, all the images will be published along with the web page. Then, you can delete that web page.
Note: The images in a web page, generally are placed in the 'images' directory of the website by Contribute. If you are placing the images in different folder, then, make sure that you change the publish folder for images to that folder.

Need help installing Contribute CS3

I'm stuck on reinstalling my Contribute CS3. I've clicked on Local/Network on the question " How do you connect to your web server?" in the connection wizard part of the installation process and have no idea how to answer the next question they ask which is "What is the network path to your web site?" Can anyone help me on this

I unfortunately can't talk you through the process step by step.. I don't have the same version you're using and cannot reinstall english CS3, nor do I know where exactly in the whole process you're at now. I suppose the install of Contribute CS3 finished and you're now faced with having to create a new connection.
In order to do so, you prolly have to chose Edit > My Connections (exact names might be a bit off, I am using a German version) from Contributes main menu, then click "New.."
Where you went the wrong way the last time was by selecting "I am connecting to my website via... Local/Network". Choose "FTP" instead.
You'll need your FTP login data, if you didn't write that down, you need to ask your hosting company to send it to you.
You're looking for the following pieces of information:
FTP host name - usually looks kinda like this: ftp.mysite.com
FTP user name
FTP password
perhaps ftp folder - thats the folder where your "start page" is located, most times this can be left blank however.
If your site was protected with an Administrator password, you'll need that as well. Chances are your hosting company doesn't know it - it was set by whomever created the homepage and first enabled it for use with Contribute.
Adobe Support might be able to talk you through the setup process on the phone, but in order for them to do so, you'll need to have the above info at hand before you call them.
Is it possible that somebody setup your homepage for you and was sending you a Contribute connection keyfile? That would explain why you never had to go through these steps before. If that's the case, it might be easier to ask that person for another copy of the connection key file..

Contribute CS3 Edit Mode strips away CSS

Looks as if many people are having this issue with no real aswer provided asside from 'Employees' sending private messages to users.
Currently have pages that render fine in a regurlar browser as well as the CS3 Contribute Browser, however when going to edit the page it simply does not render the page with any off the CSS styles applied.
Dreamweaver CS5
Contribute CS3 (our user base)
Page
calls via SSI a (.shtml) file which containes all calls to css style sheets (non @import)
Help with this issue would be greatly appreciate.
Thank you

Any employees want to shine in on how to resolve this issue? Is the only solution to include all css style sheet calls from page itself and not the includes? any way around this?

Adobe Contribute CS3 Connection Error

I am trying to use Adobe Contribute CS3 Version 3.1 to connect our web server. I can use WS_FTP and WinSCP to connect to it fine. Our web server is running under CentOS 5.x. When I try to connect using the connection wizard in Contribute, I receving the following error:
Contribute cannot verify your connection information.
/tmp
Please contact your administrator for assistance.
I have tried both FTP and SFTP. Again, I can login, navigate to /tmp and upload, download, and delete files fine using WinSCP. Can someone let me know what Contribute is trying to do to verify the connection? Is there a log file? Any help is appreciated.

When I first tried to connect to our web server, I received a similar error. What worked for me was getting rid of the folder designation when trying to connect in Contribute (in your case /tmp) and allowing users to have permissions to access all folders on the web server. I create Contribute roles to limit the users to specific folders.
I hope that helps.

Uploading multiple files in Contribute CS3

I have a website where I am constantly creating new pages
almost everyday. I use Adobe Contribute CS3. I began creating
drafts (all from one template) and saving them for later. Now, I'm
have almost 200 drafts to publish to the server and the process is
relatively slow. Is there a way that I can upload all these drafts
to my server at one time? I found this page on Google (click the
link)
http://www.vdsys.com/contribute/answer-addmultdocs.htm
, but this process does not seem to work for me.Does it work for
anyone else? I need HELP.

Thanks Vikas,
I spotted the multiple file browse button solution from a forum search. I'm trying to avoid it as I don't want to have to force the user to have to step through the file browse process for each file. I'd rather they opened a single dialog (of some kind) and selected multiple files and hit upload once only.
I Googled the second one as well. Similar problem as above, although, it's getting closer. I found a few examples using a java applet. Most of them I'd need to buy, which I'm not against in principle, just rather find something I can code myself.
This is what I've been asked for.
"....Files should be uploadable from a dialog box similar to the one provided in MS Outlook where 1 or more attachments can be uploaded to an email in a single process......[it is] important that the user is able to select multiple files in a single step and are not forced to step through a repetative process for each file....".
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks again for your help Rod!
One of the first things I tried was different combinations of devices to see if it may have been the device just not powering up. The main device I use is an official Apple wired keyboard, because at home I connect my MBP to my monitor and use a separate keyboard and mouse. I have tried other devices too with the same result, they only work when the dock is connected. I have tried connecting my iPhone via USB cable, i have a 16GB SanDisk Cruzer flash drive, which only lights up if the dock is connected, and I have a 4 port USB hub with a power LED on it, which again only lights up when the dock is connected.
I looked in system profiler, and it says the USB ports are there, but doesn't recognise any devices plugged in, other than the dock. However, when the dock is plugged in, for example, it recognises the Apple keyboard in the other port.
I took two screen shots, one of system profiler without the dock plugged in (USB keyboard still plugged in but not showing up), and another of when I plugged the dock in.
Without Dock:
With Dock:
It might be worth pointing out that the HDD dock has two USB ports on it, which is what is highlighted in the second pic.
I have also tried rebooting the computer with devices already attached but with the same result again. I've tried booting it with the dock and the keyboard attached, with just the keyboard, with just the dock, but either way unless the dock is connected, nothing else will work via USB.
I just want to say thanks again Rod, it's very kind of you to spend your time trying to help me, and it is really appreciated!
I'm going to contact Apple support shortly and see if they can offer a solution, or see if I can send it in for repair, which I am reluctant to do seeing as it's my only computer
Cheers!

Contribute CS3 not working with Leopard

Hi,
Ever since I loaded Lopard onto my Mac - Contribute won't
connect to any of my websites.
Says it can't connect 'because the server is down or not
accepting connections.'
Is anyone else having this issue - and does anyone know the
cure?
I've re-installed - but still won't work.
Thanks,
- Greg

This issue has been reported couple of time in this thread, i
was able to get the site info twice from the users and for one site
it was not connecting from the Tiger itself because of the site
issue and for the next one it was working from the 3 leopard test
machines we tried.
We have tested Contribute CS3 on Leopard and it works fine.
In case if the user is hitting any issue then it is important to
reproduce it then only we nail it down.
I do understand that you may not like to give the information
and for that only the second option is:
1. One test folder inside the site
2. One test role and a test user under the same role
3. Provide the access to the user only to that folder by
administering the site -> Select the role->Edit Role
settings->Folder File Access->Only allow editing within these
folders -> Add the test folder in the list
In this case i will be having the access to only one
particular folder which you can very well delete later on.

Contribute CS3 won't load

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with 2048MB memory and I'm trying
to load Contribute CS3.
The version I have is for Intelcentrino(which I have),Windows
Vista (which I have).
I've tried stopping the firewall with no luck.
It seems to be crashing every time.
When I click on 'Set Up' the Adobe 'Set Up' box appears for a
couple of seconds then it disappears.
What am I doing wrong!!!
Help I'm going MAD.

You may want to try clearing the user preferences.

Contribute CS3 Requires Startup Password

I administer 30 or more websites. Have been working with
Contribute since version 2. Never required that I type in a
password to open up the program. Yesterday when I installed
Contribute CS3, and opened it up, it required a startup password. I
have no idea what it wants as I have never set a password. The
program is now unusable to me.
I sat on the phone for 6 1/2 hours yesterday with Adobe
support waiting for someone to come on to help with this issue. My
phone battery finally quit. Have also sent out a request for help
on this issue. No response.
I am getting a bit desperate as people are depending on me...
does anyone have a solution to this?

Make sure it says "Enter Password, please enter your
Contribute startup password try the following" If this is not the
prompt you get, other prompts could be asking for CPS or your FTP
login, so make sure the prompt is what you are getting before going
any further into this registry fix. If you are not a local
administrator on your computer you may not be able to make this
fix.
1. From the Run command, type in regedit to bring up the
Registry
2. Drill into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER >SOFTWARE
>Contribute 4.1> Security Preferences.
3. Now select this folder and go to File> Export > and
name this file something like backupsecuritypref.reg
4. Once the export is done, right click on the Security
Preferences, check Permissions, make sure your user name is part of
the security group. Highlight your user name and then verify that
you have Full Control to the folder.
5. Now double click on the blue key Always Prompt for
StUpPWD, you'll see a value name Always Prompt for StUpPWD. Toggle
the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change the value data
from 1 to 0 with the.
6. Go to the next blue key, Require PWD, and do the same
thing. Toggle the Base set to Decimal from Hexadecimal, and change
the value data from 1 to 0.
7. Try to open Contribute again, if it is not opening, try to
import the backup file backupsecuritypref.reg via the
registry.

Client can't edit site with Contribute CS3

I put a site online last week (www.dunelakeslodge.co.nz) and
supplied my
client with Contribute CS3 to update it, supplying her a
connection key.
She is connecting OK, but when she tries to edit a page she
gets a
message saying she "can't edit this page because Dave Addison
(that's
me) is already editing it. Please contact blah, blah...".
I have connected to the site myself with Contribute 3, and
got a similar
error: "you can't edit this site because you are already
editing it on
another computer"!!
It gave me the option to "unlock" the page, which I selected,
and I was
then able to edit the page. However, my client still can't.
Anyone got a solution to this?
thanks
Dave

I'm sure someone here will be able to help, but just curious
if you've tried
posting in the Contribute forum at all?
Take care,
Shane H

Contribute CS3/CS4 books

Hi all,
I am looking for Contribute CS3/CS4 books to recommend to some of my end users. Doing a search on Amazon doesn't really provide much (specifically most Contribute titles are for Contribute 3 from 2003!). Are there any books out there for use????
Thanks,
Randy

This probably isn't the answer you're looking for, but ...
FWIW, my end users initially requested books or other resources because they were concerned about how long it would take for them to learn Contribute. But after giving them a short training where I described the similarities between Contribute and MS Word and showed them the Contribute help screens, the users didn't need anything else. They occasionally call me with a question, but that's to be expected.

Contribute CS3 and CITRIX

Is it supported to install Contribute CS3 on a CITRIX server?
If it is supported what are the licensing implications?
Basically we want to place Contribute on CITRIX so our users
(who have valid licenses) can use Contribute from home when there
is an emergency.
I can't seem to find any documentation here on Adobe's site.
Can anyone help me or at least give me a good Email address to send
the question to.
Thanks,

Please have a look on the below mentioned thread:

Contribute CS3 Recipient (Names) List

When sending a Contribute (CS3) draft to other users, how
does the selection list of users get populated?
We have created Contribute users (/roles) and provided them
keys. They are successfully logged into Contribute , but their
names to not appear on the pick-list for routing drafts. What data
is used to populate the draft send-to pick-list? Is it derived from
a file on the web server combined with some other criteria?
The directory _mm\\ct3beta\WIPMetaData contains users' email
addressing structure, but nowhere are their equivalent first/last
names cataloged. Similarly from the Contribute Site Administrator
account, there is no apparemt way to change what users have entered
for their names.
_mm\\ct3beta\WIPMetaData

By reason of deduction, the list of users appears to be
populated from directory:
webroot\_mm\ct3beta\messaging\users\list
Randomly named XML files in this directory all have file name
extension
csi. These files contain the element
user_full_name. This element's value correlates to the name
presented in the list. By renaming the XML file's extension to
something other than
csi causes the name value disappear from Contribute's list
of the available names to pick from.
Why can't Adobe's documentation simply provide the explanation
of this relationship!!!
