Upload Captivate 4 using Contribute CS3?

Hello.
We are trying to upload a published Captivate 4 project to the web server using Adobe Contribute CS3.
When we use Contribute, the links in the swf open in the current window or not at all, even though the settings inside the swf indicate to open in a new window.
When we use an ftp program (WS_FTP), everything works in the swf as intended.
Of course, the company won't let us upload to the web server without using Contribute :/
Do you know why Contribute is not "seeing" the links and their specifications from the Captivate swf?
I couldn't find anything relevant on the web addressing this situation.
Thank you!

Hi,
Can I know how you create links in the swf file? Because, I created a simple swf file in Captivate having a button, and linked it to a web page. I set the link to open in a new window. I inserted this swf file in one of the web pages and published. The links worked fine for me. When I click the button, the web page linked to it opened in a new window.

Hi there
You might have better luck posting this question on the Contribute forum.

Perhaps someone there has been down this road already and can advise you on how to manipulate Contribute to allow the Captivate SWF to operate as you want.
Cheers... Rick

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

In Contribute CS3, using MacBookPro with Snow Leopard HELP locked

I am using Contribute CS3 and I can connect to site, but when I get into the edit screen whenever I click anywhere, I get the rainbow spiral and it literally takes 20 to 30 minutes to stop. then when I click again to do something it starts again and I can't ever make any changes. It says I also have an unpublished document but when I click on the "unpublished document" hot words, I go into spiral again. what can I do? I am on a MacBook Pro with snow Leopard.

That error is NOT because of the activation. That's a separate issue.

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.

Contribute CS3 Can't Edit Roller Blog

I'm just starting to use Contribute CS3 (Mac) to see if I
want to use it vs. Ecto that use now for my Blog. The server is
Apache Roller Weblogger v 4.0-dev. I setup my blog using Other Blog
Server options using an access point of
http://<my
domain>/roller-services/xmlrpc. This is the same AP that Ecto
uses which works.
It looks like I'm connected ... when I go to choose File or
Blog Entry my blog appears I click on open and it shows my blog
pages (BTW I'm using
one of the roller themes for my page). I select the page I
want to edit then click on edit and nothing happens???
What's the trick to this?

Roller is supported in CS3. Your access point looks ok. I
enter access point as "
http://<server-name>:<port>/roller/xmlrpc"
..Please check if your access point is correct. If your access
point is correct and you still face problem, can you please send me
your roller server details(access point, username and password) on
lkaur(at)adobe.com . Your details will be kept confidential. I
would be more than happy to help you out for same.

Contribute CS3 Locking up pages

My client just began using Contribute CS3 and each time she
edits a page, then publishes, she can no longer access the page for
further editing until we unlock the page for her.
She'll get an error that 'this page is being edited by her
and not available to edit'. Or the message will say she's editing
the page on another computer.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how did
you resolve it?

I have been having the same problem with both Contribute 3.1
and CS3. It only occurs when I have a lot of links on the page. I
am now using spry menus and have a lot of links on every page and
so Contribute is locking up when I try to publish. Then you can't
use it again until you clear out the drafts. Without the spry menus
it was always just one draft page, but now with the spry menu it
grabbed all of my links to other pages and created a draft for each
one. I now have to clear out around 50 drafts. Can anyone help with
this?

Javascript errors when formating text and images in Contribute CS3

I'm using Contribute CS3 on Vista, I insert an image inside a
paragraph tag with text then align the image
ie the source code looks like this:
<img src="..." alt="" align="left"/>some
text
I change the text in the paragraph to bold
Source code example: <img src="..." alt=""
align="left"/>some text
I will get the following error messages:
1 This error appears 2 times:
"While executing DW_Text_CSS_Style canAcceptCommand in
ccText_Styles.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
2 This error appears 2 times:
"While executing DW_Text_Bold canAcceptCommand in
Text_Style.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
3 This error appears 3 times:
"While executing DW_Text_Italic canAcceptCommand in
Text_Style.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
4 Next all the styles and formatting options are greyed out
but I can still publish or discard.
To be able to apply the styles and formatting in Contribute
CS3 I now need to close the application and reopen it again and be
careful not to reproduce the error.
I've also tried renaming the Configuration folder under
c:\Users\myusername\appData\Local\Adobe\Contribute CS3\ but it
hasn't worked.
We've reproduced this error on 3 similar machines in our
office all running cs3 but the bug doesn't occur when performing
the same steps in Contribute 3 or dreamweaver CS3 which is running
side by side on these machines.

It might be trying to pull the image from a different
location than the image is currently stored in. Try to move the
image file to a different folder and then load.

Contribute CS3 tutorial

Hello. Everytime I push "Contribute Tutorial" in either the
Help menu bar item or on the Contribute start page, my Contribute
application crashes. Does anyone know if the tutorial is posted
online anywhere, or if this is a known issue, or how to resolve it?
I'm using Contribute CS3 Master Suite with Windows XP Professional.
Thanks

I would suggest reinstall the app. I do not know why it
crashes, but reinstalling might help when something got messed up
in the program.

Contribute CS3 & Dreamweaver CS3

I do volunteer work for a pet rescue website. I started out
editing their pages with Dreamweaver CS3. When the work load got
out of control, one of the rescue members decided to help out by
using Contribute CS3. After a few months, I noticed there was a lot
of lag loading this one page we were both updating on a daily
basis.
In Dreamweaver, in design mode, the page appeared to be fine
but when looking at the source code, there were thousands of empty
lines that had been generating for who knows what reason. The
amount of lines was over 50K. I manually went in there and deleted
all the empty lines and ended up with about 600 lines total of
code. Everything was back to normal and my helper continued using
Contribute CS3 and I used DW, until a few days later when I noticed
the blank lines were back. Not as many as there were before but
they were certainly adding up and were definitely adding to the
loading time.
I did what I could to clean up the code and although there
are some empty lines left at the top of the file, the rest of the
file is ok now. I asked the Contribute helper to not make anymore
updates for the time being. I haven't seen any more blank lines
added since she stopped. So my best guess is that Contribute CS3 is
causing all the problems.
Is there something in Contribute CS3 publishing preferences
that may be causing this problem? I couldn't find anything in the
manuals except something about Line Breaks but that didn't have
anything to do with the code. Could it also be a server problem?
Not sure where I would begin looking. Any help would be
appreciated.
Here is a link to the file I am referring to:
http://www.norcalgsprescue.com/adopt.shtml
Thanks!

I've had similar issues, but not to the extent you seem to be
getting it. I know if you are using templates or server-side code,
the lines that do not propagage to your web client are removed, but
the source code lines are not collapsed...
Anyway, when I had a similar problem, it would putting an
extra line for each line in the html code... If you are on a
Linux/Unix Web server... go to Administer Website...Edit Role
Settings...Select the 'Editing' option on the left side of the
panel... at the very bottom, make sure 'Line Break Type' is set to
'Unix (LF)'
Hope that helps

Why should my clients who use contribute 3 suffer because I upgrade from cs3 to cs4?

I developed a template that can be used by a number of chapters of a charitable organization. The chapters who subscribe to my template all purchased contribute cs3 and it works well for them. I may have made the mistake of buying the CS4 upgrade, as any new keys that I send using Dreamweaver cs4 to new users can not be used by users with contribute cs3. Most of these chapter already using contribute 3, do not have the funds to upgrade to contribute 4.
The code of my template has not changed, only the tool that I use to administer it has, why should they have to upgrade because I have?
This also makes it so that older users of my template will not be able to beneifit from the new version of the template. Do I have to reinstall CS3 and keep using CS3 to administer their network or do I have to force them to purchase the upgrade because I chose to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4? There had to be a way I can send a contribute 3 user a new key because the user has changed names without forcing them to upgrade. Otherwise I have to develop my template so that changes can be made by users using other wisiwig programs.

Thanks for that.
Yes I had the notion I may have been duped into buying a counterfeit CS3. I got it from Amazon and though Adobe seem to think that the serial number is OK they could not trace it on their system. However, if ths is a fake copy, what can Adobe do to help? How did they help you? I can't see them giving me a free CS3 in exchange - so I'm stuck!
Kind regards
I had exactly the same problem and I am sorry to say that you may have a counterfeit version of CS3. Contact Adobe they helped me to sort out the problem.

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.

Edit blog with Contribute CS3

Hi, i've made my web site using iWeb and uploaded it to my iDisk using iWeb
I have a blog page made with iWeb
can I use Adobe Contribute CS3 to modify and create blog entries on my site?
I ask because I have a friend who i'd like to have a blog on the site but don't want to hassle of syncing two different copies of iweb
any help appreciated, D

contribute seems to be able to connect to your .mac web hosting
My impression is that it cannot connect to the space used by iWeb, only to iDisk/Sites, used by Homepage. Is that right?
any ideas on how to edit iweb blogs without using iweb? i know its a tough one
I can't imagine there is any practical way to do this. You should use blogger or some other blogging system if you need that capability.
