let's just say I'm eagerly awaiting a PKGBUILD

As for me, i've got aliases set up so any app can be started with a ctrl+alt+space to bring up a custom run dialog, then a 2-3 letter abreviation of the app.
i got it working on arch, but i do not like the fact we would need an patched gnome-desktop & gnome-panel. i will put up a few packages in the aur when i am done tinkering.
The patches are needed for the recently used app menu.
also i would like to wreck out install software and the context menus which contains the uninstall/upgrade thingy...

Never mind. This removes dbus-sharp after the installation, and then requires it as a dependency. I missed the message

Any help is appreciated. I really love that menu!

I ran yaourt as root to install gnome-main-menu-svn, and it got past that part. Looks like that was a problem with permissions that also needs to be fixed.
Now its telling me that I don't have a high enough version of libnm-glib, it is asking for >= 0.7.0, and I have 0.6.6. I checked the the repos and there does not seem to be a 0.7.0 version or higher available. A suggestion on the gnome-main-menu-svn package page makes a suggestion, but Im not sure how to go about it
current revision (451) doesn't work with networkmanager 0.6.6 from extra. Revision 401 from http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-main-men … nome-2-22/ works for now.
So I either need to get revision 401 from the svn instead, or get networkmanager and its libs at version 0.7.0
How could I go about doing any of these things. I am not familiar with SVN, so go easy on me.
EDIT:
I found a package called networkmanager-beta which seems to be version 0.7.0. Trying to install that with yaourt is unsuccessful as well.

Also had to do yaourt as root to get that far. Why is it that when you use yaourt as root, it advises you to switch to a normal user, and then the packages will not install correctly unless you do?

I don't have an "Adobe ebooks" icon on my Pandigital Novel

I would like to download books from the library onto my Pandigital Novel. I have no problems buying books from Barnes and Noble and downloading them but I can't do it for library books.
Here's what I know so far:
1. I have to download the book into my Adobe Digital Edition on my PC and then transfer it to my ereader. Both devices have been successfully authorized.
2. I have successfully done this and dragged the book into the bookshelf for my ereader when it's connected to my PC.
3. I unplugged my ereader and waited for it to show up in my library which it never did.
4. I have looked up different topics in forums and I think I may have found my problem - apparently I am supposed to have an icon in my applications menu for "Adobe ebooks" - however, I don't have one. I have scrolled all the way over to the right of that menu and there's nothing that even resembles it. I tried to download some things from Adobe to make it appear but I'm not having any luck. I know I'm missing something because when I go to "My Computer" on my PC and look it up in the file for my ereader, it shows that it's there...I just need to figure out how to download it. When I do a search using my ereader, it finds no files by that name.
I'm lost, please help!

PART ONE:
1) Go to http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaledi…
2) Scroll down. You should see a brown button that says "Install." Click.
3) Follow the given instructions.
4) Once ADE is downloaded, it will ask you to register and active your new program. To do so, you must go back to the website you started at (see above). In the top right hand corner, click "sign in."
5) On the left hand side of the screen, click the gold button that says "Create and Adobe Account." Follow the given instructions and provide the information in the required fields.
6) Once you have successfully registered, go back to the ADE program you downloaded and activate your program by giving the email and password you used when creating your adobe account.
PART TWO:
1) Go to your local library's website. There should be an option for downloadable media.
2) Choose your book(s) and proceed to 'checkout.'
3) Underneath all of your chosen book(s), there will be a button that says "download." Click this and download each eBook individually to an easy-to-find folder on your computer.
4) Go to the folder on your computer that contains your downloaded eBooks. Open them. They should open into the Adobe Digital Editions program that you just installed.
PART THREE:
1) Plug your Pandigital Novel into your computer.
2) On the program Adobe Digital Editions, underneath the "Bookshelves" on the left hand side of the screen, there should be an option that says "Pandigital Novel" (or some variation of that).
3) Drag your downloaded library books into that bookshelf.
4) Unplug your Pandigital Novel.
PART FOUR:
1) Go to your home screen.
2) At the bottom of your PN (underneath the Bookstore and Library), scroll the Application Quick Launch Bar to the right. You should see an application that says "Adobe eBooks." All of your downloaded library books should be there.
**Don't forget that they are library books and must be returned! To do so:
1) Open your Adobe Digital Editions program.
2) On the left hand side underneath the "Bookshelves," open the Borrowed books.
3) Select the book that you would like to return. A small arrow should appear to the left of the book title. Click this and select "Return Borrowed Item."

Retrieve Novell Username when not logged into Portal

Hi,
Is there a way I can store the users Novell username into a variable? This would be done in a report, displayed on the Portal homepage. I require this functionality before the user logs into the portal, so I can't use PORTAL.wwctx_api.get_user.
Thanks

Hi,
IE is sharing the cookies between sessions.
If you open IE and open another window by clicking <CTRL>+N or menu File >> New Window you have the cookies shared.
If you open another IE by clicking on the IE icon you will have two seperate IEs which do not share cookies.
Either you teach your users to use the "logoff" link in the portal header or code a new portal application that automatically destroys the portal cookie when the users leave the portal page...
Hth,
Michael

Creating multiple Spry menu bars in one site

I've been creating a website and I am required to use multiple templates to manage all the different sections of the site. To make it much less of a hassle, once I created one template, I simply saved that template as another template so I would not have to start all over again. On the first template I created a spry menu bar with a certain amount of buttons. And because I created the other templates with that template, those templates had the same menu bar containing the same settings. The problem is, because of the specified settings of the spry menu bar, if I change the amount of buttons from the original to one less, the whole bar on that template will get off center and messed up because the settings for the menu bar are not set to that certain amount of buttons, but if I change the settings to suite that amount of buttons, then the settings for all the templates change and that messes up the other menu bars on those templates because they have a different amount of buttons. Currently my templates all contain 10 buttons and I am wanting to create a new menu bar with only about 4 - 6 buttons. I thought going up to insert and inserting a brand new menu bar would do the trick but when I did that it inserted a menu bar that had all the settings of the already-created menu bar, (ie same background images, and hovers, etc.) as well as the width which, because the width is suited for 10 buttons, it does not properly make the default 4 button menu bar center correctly. And if I try to change the settings on this menu bar then the same thing happens with everything changing and getting messed up.
So after this long explanation, my question is, how can I insert multiple spry menu bars into one site that are not correlated with each other in terms of all the settings so that when changed, will not affect each other? I am guessing I am having this problem because I created all the templates from one template so they are all interlocked, but the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on was not created from any of the templates and was the first page I made at the very start.
http://phonytrojanmusic.zxq.net/ Here is the link to the site. The first page that opens up is the page that I tried to insert the brand new menu bar on. If you click on band choir or elementary you will see the menu bars with 10 buttons that are all interlocked in terms of settings. Also, I'd like to note that if I delete a button in one template, it does not delete that same button in the other templates, nor does it add a button to the other templates if I add one. Only the physical appearance changes because the settings are meant for only one amount of buttons. Sorry for the novel!

Alright well I just tried to use 2 complete different templates. I created one brand new template from scratch, added the menu bar, gave it an ID of "band", and configured it to suite 10 buttons accordingly. Then I started off from scratch again with a starting html page with a different css style sheet and added the menu bar and gave it a different ID of "choir" but the settings of the two different bars still act as one set of settings! I dont know how to fix this problem. Please tell me what to post if anything will help you. Im guessing the solution is very simple but I have tried everything.
here is the code for the two different menu bars (one in each template)

Unable to Delete a Menu.

Hi,
I am having problems removing a menu (NNTP Newsgroup Actions).
I can successfully delete all the menu items below this menu but then when
I then try to delete the menu itself, using the Delete method of the
GWMenu object, no error is raised but the menu remains visible in the
client.
An overview of how my C3PO works:
- Read a text file containing the menu items to be removed. This is
performed during the Init function of the CommandFactory. A menu item is
specified by the full 'path' e.g. Actions|NNTP Newsgroup Actions|New
Discussion. The menu items are stored in a (globally declared) Scripting
dictionary object.
- In the CustomiseMenu function I call a procedure to iterate through the
menu items to be removed. Beginning with the top level menu object, the
code drills down the menu path identifying each menu level. If the menu
item is found, the menu type is determined (i.e. GWMenu or GWMenuAction)
and an appropriate object is instantiated and the Delete method called. I
have pasted the functions below.
- The CustomizeMenu function returns False so that the changes are not
volatile and applied the first time an instance of a context is created.
(Assume that the menus are removed regardless of the context.)
Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi,
Novell informs me that the behaviour described below is normal. It is not
possible to delete any standard menu object (i.e. any client menu provided
by Novell). However, you can delete custom-made menus.
I think the documentation is misleading in that it states that we can not
delete 'root' menus. I understood this to be only the top level menus,
but this is not the case. We can not delete any standard client menu
which has child menu items regardless of their position in the menu
structure.
Thanks,
Andy

[TUTORIAL] Context Menu to export EML files

Hello there folks!
I'm pretty new to the topic of C3PO, GW and all the Novell stuff and one of my tasks was to "code an export mechanism for GW8 thats lats us save e-mails to our storage system". Ok, that was a hammer. But wrapping my head around it and starting to error out the things got me pretty far and I guessed it was tutorial material. So here we go:
@Moderators: This is the thread that has everything in it. the other one can be deleted.
This tutorial is intendend for C# only. I don't like VB and I'm too dumb for C++ so if you need it for another dialect you need to work it out your self.
Agenda:
Needed packages
C3PO wizard
Loading to Visual Studio 2010
Needed Imports/References
Simple MessageBoxing
Export Code
Registering and caching the .DLL
Testing (please help me with a better way here)
1. Needed packages
the novell-gwc3po-devel-2012.11.15.zip file (unzip this after downloading)
an installed version of Visual Studio 2012 C# (or if you want to work with a different dialect choose another)
cmd access to some of the registering tools:
It may be the best thing to set tose paths up in you env variables. Allthough when running the cmd with administrator privileges you can't use regasm from env variables and need to cd to the directory.
RegAsm (regasm.exe): C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 (the version depends on the target)
GACUtil (gacutil.exe): C:\Program Files(x86)\Micrsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\ (this path is also dependent on your target framework version, I chose .NET4)
StrongName (sn.exe): C:\Program Files(x86)\Micrsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\ (this path is also dependent on your target framework version, I chose .NET4)
a good beverage :D (you should obtain multiple of these :D)
2. The C3PO wizard
In my case I wanted to add the functionality via the context menu. So the code executes when right-clicking on one or multiple messages displays another menu item and is clickable.
This is pretty easy to realize via the C3PO wizard. You'll find it in the downloaded and extracted novell-gwc3po-devel-2012.11.15.zip from above. Start it (it is located in extracted-zip-folder/gwc3po-FILES/C3POWizard/C3POWizard.exe) and setup your project:
Setup the project in the wizard step 1
I usually setup the Wizard inside my Visual Studio 2010 projects folder, create a new folder there with the name of the project and check the options i want to have.
In the next step I chose which type of View should display my custom context menu. Since I was only interested in exporting and working with e-mails I chose "GW.MESSAGE.MAIL" and added it to the bottom list via, you guessed it, "Add".
Setup theView that invokes the new context menu item
In the next step you I had to setup a new entry for the context menu. You could make side-droppable menus here etc. But for me a simple "Add Menu" was enough. Give it a name of your choice (beware: I'm yet to find out where to change this setting in the source files).
Creating a Menu Item in step 3
Click through next and the wizard will sum up you choices. In the next dialog window you will be prompted to specify the language you want the code to be generated. I chose .NET C#.
In the prompt after that you will be asked if the wizard should create a .DLL-project. You click yes.
Quit the wizard with the "Done" button.
3. Loading to Visual Studio 2010
Open up your Visual Studio and go to File -> Open Project. Navigate to the folder where you just created the files with the C3PO-Wizard. and open up the .csproj file.
All the files get loaded and it seems quite well. but now it's time for some other stuff: Signing, or better, providing a key for signing.
Allthough the README.txt (also in your project folder) states this is not neccessarily needed I did not get it to work without a key file.
Open up a terminal and tpye in sn /? to see if the environment variables work. If not you can yuse the abolute path to sn (see: 1: Needed packages). If everything works as expected you can generate your keyfile with sn -k <PathToYourProject>\Archive.snk.
In Visual Studio, go to Project -> <ProjectName>-Properties -> Signing -> Sign assembly [x] -> Search and pick the .snk-file you just created.
Good. A first compilation of the project with F6 should rumble through without problems. Go to <ProjectFolder>\bin\Release and copy the .dll files to <GroupWiseInstallPath>.
After that you need to open a cmd windows as administrator and cd to the RegAsm.exe directory and execute the following: [I]regasm "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll". Then execute gacutil -i "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll".
RegAsm will register the extension to the Windows registry and GACUtil will cache the .dll content to make it available to GroupWise.
You need to re-cache the .dll everytime you compile in VS. So basically the workflow is Compile -> Copy dll to GroupWise directory -> re-cache with gacutil -i -> Start Groupwise
I have not found a method to post-build execute a script that does that. Problem is the copying and the gacutil caching (both must be done as administrator).
IIf everything worked you see a new entry in the context menu when right-clicking a mail in Groupwise. When you click it, there will appear a message box.
The MessageBox is defined in GWCommand.cs L. ~125
4. Needed Imports/References
Since we got the skeleton to compile and function properly, it's time to get our own code in there. FOr rapid prototyping I do all the stuff in GWCommand.cs.
Go to Project -> add Reference -> COM and select "C3POTypeLibrary", "GroupWareTypeLibrary, "GroupWiseCommander", "GroupWiseConnectorLibrary" and click OK. The selected entries now appear in the project explorer.
5. Simple MessageBoxing
A thing I like to do (because I'm not a very good programmer) is to get all sorts of infos to get displayed with
Code:
MessageBox.Show();
Just fling it in the code and see what get's where etc. An important thing is allready in the comments of the file.
It is this line:
Code:
C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6 myCL = (C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.ClientState;
. Uncomment it and play around with the myCL-object in your code.
The myCL has some properties we will use later on such as myCL.SelectedMessages which is exactly what we need for our archive functionality.
6. Export Code
Now we get to the code:
With the
Code:
ClientState
dug up in the code we can pass the
Code:
SelectedMessages
into a
Code:
MessageList
. Over this MessageList we will iterate and save each
Code:
Message
with the so called
Code:
GroupWiseCommander
to our disk. well that sounds simple. And, well after digging through a lot of threads here on the forum and the documentation, it is.
Here is the Execute() method from GWCommand.cs:
It has comments that should serve as a documentation.
Code:
public void Execute()
try
switch (m_PersistentID)
case WIASSArchivButton.vWIASS:
//C3PO WIZARD Put execute command code here for WIASS Context menu.
/* this was in the comments and is essential!
* the myCL object provides us everything we need to interact with the messages */
C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6 myCL = (C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.ClientState;
// get the selected messages
object o = myCL.SelectedMessages;
// and convert the SelectedMessages to a MessagesList
MessageList ml = (MessageList)o;
// iterate over all the selected Messages
// this was tricky: the index of the MessageList starts by 1 and not at 0
for (int i = 1; i <= ml.Count; i++)
// the .Item() method expects either a string or a long
// see http://www.novell.com/documentation/developer/groupwise_sdk/gwsdk_gwobjapi/data/h20s5bdo.html
long index = (long)i;
// instantiate a Message object to get access to the different properties like subject, sender etc
GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message oMessage = (GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message)ml.Item(index);
// instantiate a GroupWiseCommander
// this is the interface to the TOKEN API
// TOKENS: https://www.novell.com/developer/documentation/gwtoken/index.html
GroupWiseCommander.GWCommander cmdr = new GroupWiseCommander.GWCommander();
// the GWCommander has an Execute() method that is able to take certain tokens kind of like SQL
// lets build the token (the complete list is huge and awesome) to save our Messages
// ItemSaveMessage(): https://www.novell.com/developer/documentation/gwtoken/gwtokens/data/hbt0bd7x.html
string tokenCommand = "ItemSaveMessage(\"" + oMessage.MessageID + "\"; \"C:\\archiv\\" + oMessage.MessageID + ".eml\"; 900)";
/* what happens here ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is that we build us a TOKEN command that the
* GWCommander is able to execute.
* the actual command is ItemSaveMassge()
* everything between the semi-colons are the parameters:
* \"" + oMessage.MessageID + "\" : builds an ANSISTRING of the MessageID which we get from the oMessage onject
* \"C:\\archiv\\" + oMessage.MessageID + ".eml\" : build an ANSISTRING of the output filename
* 900 is the type we want to export. 900 stands for Mime
* CAUTION:In this example I use C:\archive\ as the destination folder. It must exist and be writable to the program
// now that we have setup our command we can get it executed by the commander
// the result is sort of a callback variable
string result ="";
cmdr.Execute(tokenCommand, out result);
/* here can the error handling be done with the result string
break;
default:
MessageBox.Show("Unsupported Case", "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
break;
//A way to get the GroupWise client state with newest interface
//C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6 myCL = (C3POTypeLibrary.IGWClientState6)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.ClientState;
//uncomment the code below to unblock the base command
//IGWCommand baseCmd = (IGWCommand)WIASSArchivButton.g_C3POManager.CreateGWCommand(m_objBaseCmd);
//baseCmd.Execute();
catch (Exception e)
MessageBox.Show("Error Executing GWCommand: " + m_PersistentID.ToString() + " Error: " + e.Message);
return;
7. Registering and caching the .DLL
After that you need to open a cmd windows as administrator and cd to the RegAsm.exe directory and execute the following: regasm "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll". Then execute gacutil -i "<GroupWiseInstallPath>\<TheDllName>.dll".
RegAsm will register the extension to the Windows registry and GACUtil will cache the .dll content to make it available to GroupWise.
You need to re-cache the .dll everytime you compile in VS. So basically the workflow is Compile -> Copy dll to GroupWise directory -> re-cache with gacutil -i -> Start Groupwise
8. Testing (please help me with a better way here)
Is there a good way to hook every thing up together to jsut stay in VS , compile, files get copied, registered, cached and GW starts?
Thanks for reading!
I wrote this up to have a documentation for myself and others. please let em know if you need help or anything is missing or not clear. It's certainly not a total noob guide and I expect a bit of knowledge to be honest.
Regards
Sebastian

multiple, leading "Fwd: " and/or "Re: " should be handled well,
subject should be handled case-in-sensitive.
This sounds like you should implement some sort of SelectedMessagesValidator class just to keep it clean.

As said this works fine for me.
But note that unfortunately the paths to "regasm" and "gacutil" changed
(compared to the time where you wrote your tutorial).
Definitely. That way, as you mentioned, the post build scripts integrate very well.

One important step was to use "GW.MESSAGE.MAIL" and not "...BROWSER..." or something else.
I can not figure out, where you have the GW.BROWSER thing from, but in my examples I allways used GW.MESSAGES.MAIL

Yes. You can leave it at 2.0. I just have the 4.5 installed so i will target this version

So check this and change it to "true" for the first build!
This must be made only once because after a successful build is this .dll known;
keywords: GAC -> cached
But note that "successful" means also that the post-build event ran flawless!)
This is quite specific to your case since my example on exports a flat EML file to the hard drive

fired
and the created "GWSaveToDatabase.snk" file added to the solution.
I don't want to be picky, but it's gacutil that needs the strong names. ragasm is not complaining

And that is definitely wrong!
See:
The result was a C# project that does not show any new context menu entry.
So I tried at the next wizard run "Add Menu Item".
The wizard created again a C# project but still no new context menu entry in the GroupWise client.
(And that after all needed steps
like
copy to GroupWise installation path,
regasm and gacutil over all .dlls
etc.
were successful be made).
It took a complete day to get the idea to "merge" the two wizard created projects!
Why merging?
Because the second project contained a "const" which were used in the switch statement of the "Execute()" method
(with the same meaning like your "WIASSArchivButton.vWIASS" - see your code snippet above!)
and the "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" method in "CommandFactory.cs" looked also different
while the first project does not contained something similar.
( For example:
The "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" method had more statements.
And that made more sense to me compared to the first wizeard created C# project.
Since I uploaded a better example this is obsolete.
Originally Posted by Username951

Means I believe it would work when all
with regasm registered
and
with gacutil to the cache added "things"
would be "un-registerd" and "un-cached".
This is, as I assume, due to the Interop.C3POTypeLibrary.dll. This must me cached every time the project is build. maybe you could use gacutil -i Interop.C3POTypeLibrary.dll -f to force the recaching
Originally Posted by Username951

and "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" methods, etc.
After that the context menu were shown in the GroupWise client!
Thats is correct. But I never had to do this. The thing is, that the "Add Menu Item" is giving you the opputunity to specify a command, which the "Add Menu" doesn't.
Originally Posted by Username951
2.) The next issue was that the context menu was added as often as many emails were selected.
Means: For example: Three selected emails ends up in three time added context menu.
Solution:
Checking
var existsAlready = menuItems.Item("...");
if (existsAlready != null)
return;
in "CustomizeContextMenu(...)" method and leaving the method under shown circumstances.
I added a fix for this in the second post, but it isn't working in GW2012 anymore. I have a very ubly fix for that in my new code.
Originally Posted by Username951

This may confuse but it is finally ok. No need to change here anything!
On the other side:
It will NOT work when the registry entry
"SOFTWARE\\Novell\\GroupWise\\5.0\\C3PO\\DataTypes \\...."
will be changed/"adjusted to that GroupWise client version you are currently using"!
This is all part of the official documentation and wasn't touched by Novell since quite a long time.
I think i will make a github repository in the futer as a proof of concept and kind of a accessable documentation for everyone.

Opening files from a Novell-Share takes about ten seconds

Hi there,
first a few information about our environment:
Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 Clients with Novell Client installed in latest version
Windows Server 2008 R2 DCs
Network-shares based on Novell Netware
When accessing files on Novell-Shares for the first time it takes about 10 seconds to open. Reopening it or any other file at this location again is totally fast. Waiting about 15 minutes after closing the file causes the lag again.
We traced our client-side network traffic and saw many Netbios-queries which failed because our WINS-Servers do not know the Netware-Servers. So first it tried it using every WINS-Server (three in our env.) and then on broadcast in the local subnet three
times. It got no answer and timed out.
So the next step I tried was to disable Netbios-over-TCP/IP with the radio buttons in the Network Adapter settings. After a reboot, the problem reoccured, but there were no more Netbios queries in the trace.
After days of searching for a solution I tried to stop the "TCP/IP-Netbios-Helper"-Windows Service on spec. And suddenly every network share access was totally fast. We tried this with other clients, too. Same behavior! We even did not disable
the NetBios-over-TCP/IP setting. Stopping the service was all we needed to do.
Unfortunately disabling the service causes problems. The Windows-Login fails with a message "No Logon servers available". Using the full qualified user name ("[email protected]") works. But then we saw that policies were not applied.
Any ideas, what could cause the lag? Or is it possible to disable this service without any side-effects?
Bye,
Jürgen

Hi,
What is the result if we access files on other network shares？
I found a thread in novell forum and suggestion is checking the provider order and put Netware first, open network and sharing center, change adapter settings, Select Advanced on the menu> Advanced settings, Click on Provide Order Tab and change order.
And have you contact the novel support team? They're more familiar with this product.

What is the best way to format a novel w headers w/o changing the ...

what is the best way to format a novel w headers w/o changing the following pages. I've used Microsoft office initially, but publishing house uses a program called word perfect. I find that I have too many blank white pages no matter what i do! Have to fix pagination as well...Paul

When you start you are offered templates under 2 categories "Word Processing" and "Layout", choose wisely.
For header and footers yes, you will have to:
+Menu > Insert > Section break+ at the bottom of the last page of the section you wish to preserve.
Then you can change the next section and the 2 will stay different.
Please read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf, you need to know a lot more than this if your novel is ever to hit the streets.

How do I put a password lock on my novel in PAGES?

I want to put a password lock on my novel in Pages. How do I do that?

Page 36 in the Pages User Guide, downloadable from you Pages Help menu, has information on the issue. In the Inspector it looks like this

Add a link to the navigation / menu bar

I would like to add a home button infront of the My Workspace button in the navigation/menu bar at the top of my Vibe page.
What jsp of file should I edit to achieve this?

I didn't look for that JSP, but used the branding for a high level "menu" AND wrote my own JSP to have a dynamic horizontal menu based on a portion of the workspace tree. The problem with changing Vibe's grey menu bar is that any upcoming updates might destroy your tweak. I have a few of those I need to keep in mind whenever an update or patch is done.
With my JSP adding, removing or modifying workspaces/folders in the identified branch automagically changes on the fly generated horizontal menu with the next refresh/visit of the landing page using the JSP. The menu can be for any branch of your workspace tree. If a visitor doesn't have access to a workspace or folder, the menu skips right over it automagically as well.
You can find this homebrewed JSP and key details at : Use this nifty JSP to make a dynamic horizontal menu from a branch of your workspace tree | Novell User Communities
It allows you to reorder the menu items and even drop some workspaces/folders from the menu with a simple trick explained in the article.
To see the JSP at work, go to CSDECSO - Conseil scolaire de district des écoles catholiques du Sud-Ouest or any of our 30 or so school web sites being implemented within our existing Vibe instance. You won't be able to change the tree branch, but you will see the menu. Some schools have slightly different menu choices, if you poke around long enough to find these differences. I just made them accessible to the public a few weeks ago.
Don't forget to use the integrated GoogleTranslate (generally near the Vibe printer icon in upper right corner beneath the branding and grey menu) to convert the bulk of our sites' content to any one of the 60 or so languages supported by Google. I have an article explaining how this was done as well. Of course, it is an automated translation, so don't expect perfection and don't be offended if it comes out the wrong way.

How can I adjust ADE so that I can see the entire page of a graphic novel (.epub)?

You can reduce or increase the font size of the page according to the way you like. Click on "Reading" under the Menu option -> "EPUB Text Size". Select appropriate font size from this option.

ZCM 10.3.4 Icons no longer display on Start Menu

Hi,
I am currently developing a ZCM Win7 COE and am creating new Win7 GPOs using the Microsoft Group Policy tools. ZCM bundle icons were displaying on the Star Menu as expected until I enabled the GPO setting to "Hide and disable all items on the desktop". Now the bundle icons no longer show. The agent appears to be running ok and I can see the bundles are still "available" from the agent proper sheets.
Has anyone come accross this problem before and if so how was this resolved.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

Novell Zenworks Application Window is empty

The ZENworks "Application Window" on my Windows XP SP3 desktop computer is empty. Only the "[All]" node is displayed. In other words, there are no Novell-delivered Applications showing up in the "Application Window". So I cannot see the list of the applications that I could manually deliver to my computer. The strange thing is that IT support is able to deliver ZEN applications and patches to my desktop. They are also able to wake up my computer or establish remore desktop connection to my computer via ConsoleOne or other means.
Also when I click the Application Window's menu bar items (File, Edit, View, Help), they have no options available under them.
Furthermore, when I go to the "Application Explorer Properties" and click on the "More" button in order to go to "More About Application Launcher" box, the "Login Information" subwindow is empty while the "File Information" subwindow is full; that is, it has the File Names and their Versions displayed in it.
The Zenworks's version is 7.0.1.x.
Please help me resolve this issue.
Thank you.

Thanks, Shaun for your response. I'm new to this forum, so I don't know what "TID 3546801" means.
However, I'm going to give you the following file versions which may help:
NalAgent: 7.0.1.12
NalWin or NalWin32: 7.0.1.0

Elements 11 not responding when using "comic" or "graphic novel" filter

I recently purchased PSE 11 and absolutely LOVE the program. It has worked flawlessly for me for 3 weeks, however, today was the first time I ever tried to use the "comic strip" filter and the "graphic novel" filter and the program stopped responding when trying to use these filters.
I am able to use the other filters contained under the "sketch" dropdown menu, however, the 2 that I have mentioned do not seem to work.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
I am running a Windows 7 computer and as previously mentioned, all other functionality seems to be working in Elements 11 except for those 2 filters.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Try resetting the PSE preferences by
   1. Close Elements.
   2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Edit.
   3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
OR
GO to Edit->Preferences and you will see Reset Preferences on next launch
Click this button to ensure that all product preferences are reset to default settings when Elements Editor is restarted next. Available at Preferences > General.
OR
Try with normal JPEG image also.
Thanks,
Garry
