Site links best practice

Our website has a large number of large PDFs. We cannot duplicate the PDFs in our development environment because of disk space constraints. This results in two problems: the web developer cannot browse to the files when adding new content (resulting in possible typos as it's done manually and not caught until into production) and any link checking shows hundreds of dead links.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I've tried using virtual directories mapped to the network location of the master copies of the PDFs, but Dreamweaver can't see virtual directories. I've tried to use symlinks to the source location in XP, but that doesn't work. I would like to exclude the files from the link checker, but it would have to exclude very specific paths, not just everything of a certain extension or a whole directory.
Thanks,
Lee Anne

Do you have a database?  if so you can just have your developers upload the files as part of a process into a database.  Then the page(s) can be automatically generated and you don't have to worry about linking to a large number of files on static documents in DW.

  • Site Organization - Best Practices

    I am redoing a site that was originally created in FrontPage. All the pages are in the site folder. Before I selected DW, I investigated NetFusion. Their approach is to put each page in a separate folder according to the hierarchy. My site is over 70 pages which will be clumsy to navigate with all pages in 1 folder.
    My question is: what are Best Practices for organizing pages in a website?

    Nancy O. wrote:
    There are no hard & fast rules about organizing your site files.  It really comes down to what works best for you & your particular project.
    I like to keep all my main site pages at site root level and put my supporting files into sub-folders:
    Site - MySite (C:\MySite\
    about.html
    contact.html
    index.html
    services.html
    +images
    +includes
    +scripts
    +styles
    +Templates
    This is the way I generally do it myself ONLY because I use a lot of 'php include' files and using subfolders to organise pages creates a nightmare for my workflow. As my sites are general small max 20-30 base pages (mostly less as a lot of the information I use is called from a database to a template page - so may be 150 pages but only 20 base pages) they can be stored directly in the site root.
    Not sure I could do it this way if I didn't rely heavily on a database as there would be too many pages to store at root level comfortably (infact I do have a few non database sites where I do store pages in folders but then they don't rely on any php include files so I'm comfortable working that way too!)

  • Linking Best Practice

    When building a web app, what is the best way to allow my client the choice of linking their list view items to either the detail view or some other url? I seem to be able to link either to the detail view or an external url, but am not sure how to give the editor a way to specify. 
    The easiest approach might be teaching them how to get the URL for the detail view and then entering that into a custom string field...?

    Thanks. Needing JS seemed a bit complicated so I tried the following and it seems to work:
    Created a field for a URL (ie: "Link-Address")
    Pasted either the external URL or "Items Details" URL (from the top of the web app item) into the field
    Created a second dropdown field with two options: _self,_blank (ie: "Link-Target")
    Code on my page looks like:
    <a href="{tag_Link-Address}" target="{tag_Link-Target}">
    My content
    </a>
    Not sure if this is better, but it is fairly straightforward for the client.

  • IS-Retail: Site Creation Best Practice

    Hi !
    I have 3 basic questions on this topic:
    1. In IS-Retail is a Site considered 'config' or 'master data'?
    2. Do all sites need to exist in the golden config client, or is it sufficient to have only the DCs (and not the Stores) in it?
    3. After go-live, is it ok to create new stores directly in production? (I hope the answer to this q is yes!)
    Thanks,
    Anisha.

    Hi my answers for your qestions as follows
    1) In IS Retail Site is a master data, but to create Site/DC/stores need to do some config in SPRO, Like...
    Number ranges for Sites, Account groups, create DC and site profiles and assign account groups to them.
    then you Create DC or site using WB01, now site master data will consider.
    2) yes you should have all Sites in golden client ( i am not clear this questn)
    3) After golive better need to create new stores on devleopment in then export (using WBTI/WBTE) to prodcution, in case any future changes requires to do something on stores like assign/delete merch category etc... you can do its easliy to aviod data mismatch in the production.

  • What is the best practice to deploy the SharePoint site from test to production environment?

    We are beginning to start a new SharePoint 2010 and 2013 development projects, soon developing new features, lists, workflows, customizations to the SharePoint site, customization to list forms and would like to put good practice (that will help in deployment)
    in place before going ahead with development.
    What is the best way to go about deploying my site from Development to Production?
    I am using Visual Studio 2012 and also have Designer 2013...
    I have already read that this can be done through powershell, also through visual studio and also via designer. But at this point I am confused as to which are best practices specifically for lists, configurations; workflows; site customizations; Visual studio
    development features; customization to list forms etc. You can also provide me reference to links/ebook covering this topic.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Nachiket,
    You can follow below approach where the environments has been built in similar fashion
    http://thesharepointfarm.com/sharepoint-test-environments/
    if you have less data then you can use  http://spdeploymentwizard.codeplex.com/

    For custom solutions like workflows etc you can always build the WSP packages and deploy across the environments using powershell scripts.
    Hope this helps.

  • Music on Hold: Best Practice and site assignment

    Hi guys,
    I have a client with multiple sites, a large number of remote workers (on and off domain) and Lync Phone Edition devices.
    We want to deploy a custom music on hold file. What's the best way of doing this? I'm thinking
    Placing the file on a share on one of the Lync servers. However this would mean (I assume) that clients will always try to contact the UNC path every time a call is placed on hold, which would result in site B connecting to site A for it's MoH file. This
    is very inefficient and adds delay onto placing a call on hold. If accessing the file from a central share is best practice, how could I do this per site? Site policies I've tried haven't worked very well. For example, if a file is on
    \\serverB\MoH\file.wma for a site called "London Site" what commands do I need to run to create a policy that will force clients located at a site to use that UNC path? Also, how do client know what site
    they are in?
    Alternatively, I was thinking of pushing out the WMA file to local devices via a Group Policy, and then setting Lync globally to point to %systemdrive%\MoH\file.wma. Again, how do I go about doing this? Also, what would happen to LPE devices that wouldn't
    have the file (as they wouldn't get the GPO)?
    Any help with this would be appreciated. Particularly around how users are assigned to sites, and the syntax used to create a site policy for the first option. Any best practice guidance would be great!
    Thanks - Steve

    Hi StevehootMITS,
    If Lync Phone Edition or other device that doesn’t provide endpoint MOH, you can use PSTN Gateways to provide music on hold. For more information about Music On Hold, you can check

    KeepItSimple,Stupid!
    That is, just because there are neat things like drop-down
    text, marquees, and such, doesn't mean you should use them.
    Stick to the basic HTML fonts and colors (use the
    w3schools web site for all
    things HTML and CSS.
    Instead of styles, create your lists by selecting Normal
    paragraphs and formatting with the Bullet and Number toolbar
    buttons.
    Keep your tables as simple as possible (try not to nest them
    and have all sorts of row and column spans, and try to avoid lists
    and figures, if you can). Also, break up very long tables into
    functional groupings with introductory headings.
    Use

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX.

    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • Best Practices for Setting up a Windows 2012 R2 STD Domain Controller in a Remote Site

    So I'm looking for an article or writeup similar to the "Adding Domain Controllers in Remote Sites" TechNet article but for Windows Server 2012 STD R2.  Here is my scenario:
    1.  I want to setup the domain controller at Site A where the primary domain controller is located.  The primary domain controller is Windows Server 2008 R2. 
    2.  Once the DC is setup I plan on leaving it on our network for a few days before shipping it to remote Site B for installation
    Other key items:
    1.  The remote Site B will have a different IP range than Site A but will be connected to Site A via a single VPN tunnel.  All the DCs that replicate with each other are on the same domain. 
    2.  The 2012 DC that I setup for Site B (same domain in same forest) will be a DHCP, DNS, and WSUS server all replicating to the primary DC at Site A
    Questions:
    1.  What items can I setup while it's at Site A without effecting or conflicting with the existing network and domain controller?  Can I setup a scope once the DHCP role is added? 
    2.  All of our DCs replicate through Sites and Services, do I have to manually add this to our primary DC for the new DC going to remote Site B?  Or when does this happen automatically when I promote the DC? 
    All and all I'm just looking for a list of Best Practices for 2012 or a Step by Step Guide.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    When you install AD DS in the hub or staging site, disconnect the installed domain controller, and then ship the computer to the remote site, you are disconnecting a viable domain controller from the replication topology.

  • Best Practice for SRST deployment at a remote site

    What is the best practice for a SRST deployment at a remote site? Should a separate router such as a 3800 series be deployed for telephony in addition to another router to be deployed for Data? Is there a need for 2 different devices?

    Hi Brian,
    This is typically done all on one ISR Router at the remote site :)There are two flavors of SRST. Here is the feature comparison;
    SRST Fallback
    This feature enables routers to provide call-handling support for Cisco Unified IP phones if they lose connection to remote primary, secondary, or tertiary Cisco Unified Communications Manager installations or if the WAN connection is down. When Cisco Unified SRST functionality is provided by Cisco Unified CME, provisioning of phones is automatic and most Cisco Unified CME features are available to the phones during periods of fallback, including hunt-groups, call park and access to Cisco Unity voice messaging services using SCCP protocol. The benefit is that Cisco Unified Communications Manager users will gain access to more features during fallback ****without any additional licensing costs.
    Comparison of Cisco Unified SRST and
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    Cisco Unified CME in SRST Fallback Mode
    • First supported with Cisco Unified CME 4.0: Cisco IOS Software 12.4(9)T
    • IP phones re-home to Cisco Unified CME if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. CME in SRST allows IP phones to access some advanced Cisco Unified CME telephony features not supported in traditional SRST
    • Support for up to 240 phones
    • No support for Cisco VG248 48-Port Analog Phone Gateway registration during fallback
    • Lack of support for alias command
    • Support for Cisco Unity® unified messaging at remote sites (Distributed Exchange or Domino)
    • Support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Basic Automatic Call Distributor (BACD), Call Park, softkey templates, and paging
    • Support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0 on same computer
    • No support for secure voice in SRST mode
    • More complex configuration required
    • Support for digital signal processor (DSP)-based hardware conferencing
    • E-911 support with per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for IP phones (Cisco Unified CME 4.1 only)
    Cisco Unified SRST
    • Supported since Cisco Unified SRST 2.0 with Cisco IOS Software 12.2(8)T5
    • IP phones re-home to SRST router if Cisco Unified Communications Manager fails. SRST allows IP phones to have basic telephony features
    • Support for up to 720 phones
    • Support for Cisco VG248 registration during fallback
    • Support for alias command
    • Lack of support for features such as Pickup Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Park, and BACD
    • No support for Cisco IP Communicator 2.0 with Cisco Unified Video Advantage 2.0
    • Support for secure voice during SRST fallback
    • Simple, one-time configuration for SRST fallback service
    • No per-phone emergency response location (ERL) assignment for SCCP Phones (E911 is a new feature supported in SRST 4.1)
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/prod_qas0900aecd8028d113.html
    These SRST hardware based restrictions are very similar to the number of supported phones with CME. Here is the actual breakdown;
    Cisco 880 SRST Series Integrated Services Router
    Up to 4 phones
    Cisco 1861 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 8 phones
    Cisco 2801 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 25 phones
    Cisco 2811 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 35 phones
    Cisco 2821 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 50 phones
    Cisco 2851 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 100 phones
    Cisco 3825 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 350 phones
    Cisco Catalyst® 6500 Series Communications Media Module (CMM)
    Up to 480 phones
    Cisco 3845 Integrated Services Router
    Up to 730 phones
    *The number of phones supported by SRST have been changed to multiples of 5 starting with Cisco IOS Software Release 12.4(15)T3.
    From this excellent doc;
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6788/vcallcon/ps2169/data_sheet_c78-485221.html

  • Best Practice for link to WebdynPro page in welcome page

    Hi Experts,
        I am new in SAP Portal. I need some guidance from you guys. I have a requirement to create welcome page which is JSP and has a link to a WebdynPro page. I have to put the url in JSP file. So i do not know what kind of URL i should put in the JSP. 
    The problem is if i put the url which i can see in the address bar like 'http://DevServer/WebDynPro/ApplcationA', when i transport it to another server ,for example Production,. The real url might be change to 'http://ProdServer/WebDynPro/ApplcationA'. It may cause the link in JSP can not be worked.
        I would like to ask you the best practice for this case. What url? What configuration?
    Thank you in advance,
    Noppong Jinbunluphol
    P.S. For the JSP, i create it in portal application dc.

    Dear Noppong,
    You can do it with multiple ways like :-
    1. Get the current host name and make complete URL with using host name for the webdynpro iview.
    request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
    HttpServletRequest req = request.getServletRequest();
    StringBuffer strURL = req.getRequestURL();
    2. Create the KM Document or Link for webdynpro Iview OR Create the WPC Web Page for the webdynpro ivew
    Refer to [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/06/4776399abf4b73945acb8fb4f41473/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/06/4776399abf4b73945acb8fb4f41473/frameset.htm]

  • Seaching for Best Practice links that work

    Hi,
    past few years I have been able to access SAP Best Practices documents like SAP Best Practices SAP Best Practices for CP and Wholesale Industries
    (this one still works and guides me to the building block and process overview documents!).
    Recently any link I can find to SAP Industry or Baseline Best Practices ends up with a dead link. See for example trying to get from here SAP Best Practices Baseline packages – SAP Help Portal Page
    to Localized for Netherlands V1.607 SAP Best Practices package further below on that page, results in screen shot attached. I have seen that in many more examples (different countries, or in Industry Best Practice Packages instead of Country Baseline packages....)
    Does any know whether and how SAP redesigned their access to Best Practices documents (Configuration Guides, eCatts, Scenario Process Overviews etc.?
    Thanks for your reply.
    Thijs

    Hi, Thijs,
    There is currently a problem with Best Practices on the Help Portal.  On the home page of the portal (http://help.sap.com/) there is a message that reads "Stay Tuned - There are temporary problems when accessing some content types, for example PDF documents or Best Practices. We are working on a solution."
    Our Wholesale Distribution industry group does not manage the Help Portal pages, so, unfortunately, I don't know the status of the problem or when it might be resolved.
