Publishing article on SDN

Hello friends
I have a small query. I want to get an article published on SDN. How do I go about it? I presume that the article will bge reviewed by some expert before being published. How does the whole thing work?
Also, where do I find the articles published previously?
Would be thankful to people providing answers.
Regards
Lincoln

Publish articles, edit articles, help new Linux users

Firstly, i apologize if this is in the wrong forum category. I've been procrastinating on this for a while now, because i do not quite have my system complete; but this feature has been usable for a long time now, and i guess that i can start letting others use it...
Anyway, i have http://LinuxIntro.com which is (obviously) a Linux and open source software oriented website. I am too damned busy to keep up with creating new articles, and updating out of date articles, and exploring new areas of Linux and Open Source software to educate myself enough to make articles for others to learn it.
I have been running my unfinished Content Management System on this site (and on my political reform website, that is likewise falling into a state of neglect for the same reasons), and noticed that many others are trying to assist the open source movement by publishing their own articles on their own little home pages, or blogs.
So now it is a community content management system; a hybrid between a wiki, a blog, and a high-end commercial CMS. It allows users who have any at least Level 1 privileges (normal 'users' are level 0) to publish articles and edit articles (even if they did not create it, as sometimes another user may have more experience, and thus more useful information to add to an existing article), and for users with Level 2 privileges to move articles and upload images, and for users with Level 3 (highest you can be) privileges to delete articles and to delete images.
I don't have any publishing guidelines written yet, but for the most part it is common sense. All articles must be filed in the appropriate category (just try your best, and at worst i will just move it to the correct category), and limit only 1 video per article page (articles can have many pages).
When you log in, you can click on "Account" and then "My Website" to enter your own website address for others to see. When a user reads an article you've written, they can click on your name below the article, and see your profile, which will display anything you want to share (website, bio, interests, etc). If you publish an article, you are not limited to keeping it only on Linux Intro. You can publish it on your own site, or any other site; however you cannot delete it, as others may have made a contribution to your article, and that would not be fair to them. You can add YOUR VERY OWN you tube videos that you already have, or any new ones that you make; just remember 1 video per page. Also, if you DO post a video with your article, make sure that what you do and say in the video is typed out in the article's paragraphs. This is not a video site, and so textual content is mandatory for articles; also text is accessible and video is not, so i try to adhere to 801 standards as much as possible (or practicable).
For the record, in case anyone is wondering, this is NOT an attempt to 'steal users' from this website. It is only an attempt to create a more user-engaged, comprehensive, and in-depth informational material for new Linux and Open Source users to benefit from; and to make it MUCH easier to publish content.
Oh, almost forgot, if you have been a member of this forum for longer than 4 months, and have over 200 posts, PM me HERE with your Linux Intro user name, and i will raise your security clearance on Linux Intro so that you can publish articles (otherwise you're only a user). If you already have a moderator/maintainer/admin status here on this forum, then PM me HERE with your user name on Linux Intro and i will raise your security level on Linux Intro.
I know that the site may still look like crap, but i'm about to redesign it again to look much more clean (like i just did with http://Ionisis.com) and presentable. I am brainstorming for ideas atm, and should begin with a new design tomorrow.
Also, if you do not find an appropriate category for your article, then feel free to suggest one; but i believe that i have a fairly comprehensive --yet still generalized-- list to choose from. And please do let me know what you think about this system.
Try to remember that "articles" are not the same as "article pages". An article is an object that is independent from its pages, and has a parent-children --or one-to-many relationship with its pages. You publish the ARTICLE's details, like its title, keywords, and description, and THEN you publish any/all of the pages that belong to that article. You can completely ignore the "previous" and "next" options, as the system takes care of pagination automatically; those are for advanced use, namely, chainlinking disparate articles together (the end of one article leading to the beginning of another).
I have also made a test category for hackers to publish and attempt to hack/destroy/modify-without-permission articles in. If you want to try to hack the site, please do, but if you believe that your hack may result in data loss, then try to limit it to the hacking category so that it is not 'good data'. And, obviously, if you are able to hack this site in any way, please let me know how you did it.
Enjoy, and please do give feedback!

Well the forums there are actually not meant to take the place of other forums like this. The forums there serve a slightly different, and less obvious purpose. You see, if someone joined the website, there would be no way to know what kind of person they are without having forums for them to show their character, so it would be insane to give them any kind of administrative access to public content. Also, the forums were originally meant to assist users who had questions about the tutorials on the site. I used to have it so that at the bottom of each tutorial was a link to the appropriate forum category for it; but because i modularized my WCMS and UFMS to accommodate clients who may want one and not the other, i broke that tie.
However, if someone wanted to write an article for Arch, or post a question about Arch, then they could send me a PM on the site (or any other means, i suppose), and i could add that category in a few seconds (it's all dynamic, almost nothing in my IMS systems are static).
Oh, and thanks about the design. It's a bit grunge, as this site caters to that crowd. Face it, even us IT Geeks don't like the 'suit-and-tie' attitude. I may change it a bit more later, one of my girlfriends said she hated the background (but i like it) . I was primarily concerned with getting rid of the "Tron" theme that i had, and make it more user friendly asap, and the fine tuning can (and will have to) wait.

Can't Publish Article into Folio

I created a Folio and am trying to publish an article. (I have tried 3 times now). It just sits at the part below. The article only has 2 images and is 1 page. (Any ideas?)

Is this an InDesign page or a HTML article?
Which version of the Folio Producer tools do you have installed?
Can you upload the article somewhere so I/we can try to reproduce?
Can you upload other article successfully (is the issue specific to this article)?

Unable to Contribute on SDN

Hello Experts,
I had last submitted an article, which was published and I was duly awarded points for the same.
However, thereafter, I am unable to find the article on SDN and under my profile, the hyperlink is not enabled for the article.
Also, when I click on "Submit and Track Articles and Media", it gives me an error saying "This frame was blocked because it contains some insecure content."
Can someone please throw light on this issue.
Since I am unable to submit further content.
Regards,
Divyata Dal

Hello David,
Thanks for the pointer. After a couple of tries, it is showing up the page in the same browser.
However, the other problem remains unresolved.
The latest article published is not getting displayed in SDN.
When I go to the Content Submission System and click on the article, it displays an error :
Sorry, you can't access this page with your current permissions (403 error).
You may be trying to access a page or document that requires community membership to see. If you're not a member yet, register now!
Or maybe you received a link to this page from another user with permissions different from your own, such as a user with internal permissions.

Replication articles read-only in one publication and editable in another

We have many users with a mobile application
running SQL Mobile and using merge replication to get data back to the SQL 2008 R2 database. This has worked very well for many years.
We now have a requirement to have this data reported on using Reporting Services. This is where it gets messy.
Due to a limitation of Report Builder(see this blog)
we cannot provide access to users for creating their own reports. The report database is remote from the host and there is no VPN.
We hit upon the idea of creating an almost identical publication but the articles as read-only. It was only after this was done that we started having trouble with our existing mobile users.
It seems that a published article is EITHER Bi-directional OR Read-only even if they are in separate publications.
I then thought of using Transactional Publication but this too is blocked on creation with "automatic identity range support is useful only for publications that allow updating subscribers"(Merge and Transactional publication are mutually exclusive)
So in the final analysis is there a way for me to have merge replication AND some other form of SQL replication/data transfer that can have the same data transmitted readonly to a separate full SQL server database?
Your insights, ideas and advice appreciated.

What you described is not possible.
You may consider to combine replication and log shipping or republish the data.

Missing code in "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" SDN document?

I am trying to build a sample offline form scenario using the code published in the SDN document "Offline Interactive Forms Using ABAP" written by Vani Krishnamoorthy. Everything works perfectly up to the point where we instantiate the PDF Object to extract the data from the form. Then there seems to be some code missing just before we call the method SET_DOCUMENT. We are supposed to export the parameter pdfdata = pdf_data , but I cannot find where pdf_data variable is declared or assigned. Also, an ENDTRY statement seems to be missing.
Has anyone had success with Vani's offline scenario, and if so, do you know what code is missing, if any?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I found the missing code in sample program FP_PDF_TEST_06. Everything works well now.
The PDF file that was uploaded from the PC first needs to be converted from binary to XSTRING before you can create the PDF object:
data: lt_rawtab type standard table of raw255,
        g_pdfdata type xstring,
        l_len type i.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    exporting
      filename                = l_filename
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    importing
      filelength              = l_len
    changing
      data_tab                = lt_rawtab   "PDF file (binary)
    exceptions
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_read_error         = 2
      etc. etc.
Convert binary tab to Xstring
call function 'SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING'
    exporting
      input_length = l_len
    importing
      buffer       = g_pdfdata              "converted to Xstring
    tables
      binary_tab   = lt_rawtab
    exceptions
      failed       = 1
      others       = 2.
if sy-subrc is not initial.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
               with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
Instantiate PDF object..
data: l_fp     type ref to if_fp value is initial,
        l_pdfobj type ref to if_fp_pdf_object value is initial,
        l_fpex    type ref to cx_fp_runtime,
        l_type    type string,
        l_errmsg type string.
Get FP reference
l_fp = cl_fp=>get_reference( ).
Handle exceptions with Try..Endtry
try.
Create PDF Object using destination 'ADS' (<--this is how it is
defined in SM59)
      l_pdfobj = l_fp->create_pdf_object( connection = 'ADS' ).
Set document
      l_pdfobj->set_document( exporting pdfdata = g_pdfdata ).
Tell PDF object to extract data
      l_pdfobj->set_extractdata( ).
Execute the call to ADS
      l_pdfobj->execute( ).
    catch cx_fp_runtime_internal
          cx_fp_runtime_system
          cx_fp_runtime_usage into l_fpex.
      case cl_abap_classdescr=>get_class_name( l_fpex ).
        when '\CLASS=CX_FP_RUNTIME_INTERNAL'.
          l_type = 'INTERNAL ERROR'.
        when '\CLASS=CX_FP_RUNTIME_SYSTEM'.
          l_type = 'SYSTEM ERROR'.
        when '\CLASS=CX_FP_RUNTIME_USAGE'.
          l_type = 'USAGE ERROR'.
      endcase.
      l_errmsg = l_fpex->get_short( ).

Update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow

Hi,
We have a requirement to update a column value once the item has been approved.
Following settings have been made in the publishing articles list:
Require content approval for submitted items : yes
Create major and minor (draft) versions
Who should see draft items in this document library? :Only users who can edit items
Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? : yes
I have createdatu a Sharepoint 2013 workflow to check if Approval sts of current item = 0 i.e. Approved , then check out and update the item and finally checkin the item. Everything works fine till this point except that the minor version of the item is
checked in. Due to this the updated columns are not published to others.
Also, I created a Sharepoint 2010 workflow to SET CONTENT APPROVAL = APPROVED and started this workflow from my list workflow above, but the item does not get checked-in and always shows "In Progress" status with comment "The item is currently
locked for editing. Waiting for item to be checked in or for the lock to be released.".
Please let me know where I am missing out so that once the item is approved, column value gets updated and current item is still in Approved status.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to update Column value after current item is Approved and then publish major version using Sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
You will get into this kind of Catch-22 situation trying to set the Content Approval Status in SharePoint Designer workflow:
- You must check out the document before you can change the Content Approval Status
- You can't change the Content Approval Status once the document in checked out
Since you set the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited=Yes, you will need to check out the document when run the workflow on the item. But you cannot approve a document when it is checked
out. So the logic in workflow conflicts.
As a workaround, you can use the Start Another Workflow action to start the normal Approval workflow on the document. The built-in Approval workflow can work with a document that’s not checked out.
The designer approval workflow also can work with a document that’s not checked out.
You can create two workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013.
First, create a SharePoint 2010 platform workflow.
Then, create a SharePoint 2013 platform workflow.
Then when the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow start, it will start the SharePoint 2010 platform workflow to set content approval status, then the SharePoint 2013 platform workflow will update current item value.

Hello Rabin,
You would need to add the rating property to the list of 'Displayed Properties' in the Collection Renderer used in the layoutset of this iview. You could also then add the rating property, cm_rating, to the 'Property for Sorting' parameter.
