Use Muse pages for an e-mail campaign?

Hi All,
My client asked if I can provide Muse content for an email campaign.
If I export my Muse project to a folder then view the .html files using a browser the image looks close but not exactly right.
Does anyone have experience with using Muse designed pages for an e-mail campaign (as to how this can be done)?
Thanks!
Gary

I asked David Blatner, who runs the InDesign Secrets website, the same question about creating HTML Newsletters with Muse in a future edition, and he replied:
"The problem with "html email" is that it is dependent on very old email clients. For example, we are having a problem right now that some (but not all) people using Outlook 2003 are having trouble reading the free InDesign Tip of the Week email that we send using mailchimp. Yes, Outlook 2003.
Basically, html email has to be super lowest common denominator HTML. The best html email wouldn't even use CSS, but most email clients can read very simple css now. But remember that later versions of Outlook use MS Word as their HTML viewer, so… it's painful. That means, you really want to use tables and shim.gifs and stuff like that. It's not pretty.
Muse and in5 and most other tools are interested in creating 21st century HTML, not html from 1998. That's why it's extremely unlikely we'll see anything like this from Adobe (or probably even anyone else)."

How to monitor responses for an E-mail campaign

Dear all,
We are running an E-mail campaign on a specific target group. E-mail content has some advertising message regarding our newly launched product categories.

Can it be configured in SAP CRM??, if so how could we do this, do any other systems integration is required for this process??
Please help me to find the correct solution for this requirement, Your help will be highly appreciated.
Kindly refer any step by step or screenshot based documentation for the same.

Hi Raghu,
If u r maintaining any URL for u r Advertisement in mail form then it is possible to track the number of hits by receipant for that URL.
To create a URL, simply highlight the text of the URL (for example, www.sap.com) and then choose the
URL button. This turns the highlighted text into a hyperlink in the e-mail.
>If your hyperlink is to SAP Internet Sales, you can create a personalized link to the Web page by adding a ++ to the end of the URL. The ++ creates a unique identifier that can be used to track whether or not the recipient has accessed the Web site from the e-mail. If you add ## to an URL, tracking is now also possible for all other Web sites
You can check the hits of u r URL :-
SAP menu ->Marketing ->Marketing Planning and Campaign Management ->CRMD_EMAIL_LIST - Display Marketing Contact List-- Execute the marketing contact list by entering the search crieteria.
(Number of Access is number Hits by customer)

Using Desktop Manager for managing Evolution Mail-Accounts

hi there,
where can i find a documentation that describes how i can manage
evolution acocunts within Desktop Manager. I just can add an account name
but i can not define the account specific configuration data such as the
type of email server (in our case: M$ Exchange and SUN JES Server)
and based on the type of email server i must add some more or less configuration
information.
second question : can i use some variables for those configuration data such as
$USERNAME to configure the evolution email account using the correct username ?
the password has to be entered by the user if he/she runs evolution for the first time.
thanks in advance
cheers
joerg

Hi Joerg,
The documentation for the Desktop Manager focuses on the common parts of the operation of the product, the details of the meaning of each setting are more related to the application to which they belong, which is why they don't feature in the general administration manual. You can, however, find more contextual information about the various pages of the Desktop Manager by clicking on the "More" button present on each of these pages, for instance in the case of the Evolution accounts, this would have told you about the fact that the Accounts field is a list of strings containing the XML account description (though I'll grant you that in this particular case, it's a bit on the terse side).
As for the placeholders, you need to update your Sun Ray server with patch 120454 (120455 depending on your platform) revision 02, so that the GConf adapter which integrates Desktop Manager data into the Gnome configuration handles the placeholder properly. Then you have the possibility of using the special strings "[apoc.<attribute>]" in the configuration settings, which will be replaced when evaluated with the value of <attribute> in the LDAP user entry.
As an example (which you should adapt to the contents of your LDAP server and the actual definition you want to use for your Evolution accounts), you could for instance use the following XML blob for an Evolution account (I've formated it nicely for display purposes, you will want to paste as a single line into that Accounts list):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<account name="[apoc.mail]" uid="[apoc.uid]" enabled="true">
     <identity>
         <name>[apoc.cn]</name>
         <addr-spec>[apoc.mail]</addr-spec>
         <reply-to></reply-to>
         <organization></organization>
         <signature auto="false" default="-1"/>
         </identity>
     <source save-passwd="false" keep-on-server="false" auto-check="true" auto-check-timeout="10"/>
     <transport save-passwd="false">
         <url>smtp://[apoc.givenname].[apoc.sn]@[apoc.mailhost]</url>
     </transport>
     <drafts-folder>file:///home/[apoc.uid]/evolution/local/Drafts</drafts-folder>
     <sent-folder>file:///home/[apoc.uid]/evolution/local/Sent</sent-folder>
     <auto-cc always="false">
         <recipients></recipients>
     </auto-cc>
     <auto-bcc always="false">
         <recipients></recipients>
     </auto-bcc>
     <pgp encrypt-to-self="false" always-trust="false" always-sign="false" no-imip-sign="false">
         <key-id></key-id>
     </pgp>
    <smime encrypt-to-self="false" always-sign="false"/>
</account>Now to go back to your problem with getting the profiles you've assigned with the Desktop Manager visible on the user's desktop, I can first offer a few remarks on your configuration:
- you've specified a DN and password for authentication to your LDAP server, I would like to point out that the agent (as opposed to the Desktop Manager itself) will only ever perform read accesses to your LDAP server (to find the user entry, figure out its position in the hierarchy and retrieve the applicable profiles), so you don't need to provide a user with write access, let alone administrative priviledges, as you seem to have done. If your LDAP server setup supports anonymous read access, I would advise you to leave these fields blank in the agent configuration;
- you've set the ChangeDetectInterval, DaemonChangeDetectInterval, TimeToLive and GarbageCollectionInterval to 1 (minute), which is unnecessary and for some of them probably detrimental to the performance of the agent operation. I can expand if you wish on the meaning of each of these (though I think that's described in the manuals), but I would advise you put back the default values for all of these settings, except maybe the ChangeDetectInterval while you're testing the product (this is the setting used to determine how often the user data is refreshed, i.e how often the changes from the Desktop Manager are propagated to the desktop applications, one minute is fine for testing purposes but you should put it back to its sixty minutes default once the profiles are fairly stable in order to minimise the activity of the agent).
Please first try and make the above changes to the agent configuration, and check whether the problem you're having is still present. If so, we can look into other potential causes for the problem.

Cyrille

Using Customized page for logging in

Hi all,
I am trying to use an html page for logging into Sun Identity manager.
Actually we have an html page, on which we have a section in which the user can enter the credentials.
Now when he clicks the submit button, then the user should be able to login SIM.
I thought that in backend we can pass the values entered in html page to user/login.jsp.
But i am not getting in which attributes, we should get these values on user/login.jsp because i think,in backend it also calls some form and i am unable to get which form it is calling.
Any pointers can be helpful.
Thanks

i dont thik its possible use a separate html page for login.you can customise the login page(bit difficult but you can do it there are some css and .properties files are associated with that)

Using iWork pages for note taking - Outline Mode

I am trying to find a good way to take notes in an organized fashion. The other week a friend of mine was using an outline mode in microsoft office and looked to be a great way to organize his notes. I wanted to do something similair on my mac, and it appears that iWork Pages will support the Harvard outline function which is great, and also it'll sync in the cloud, so if I'm on my ipad, it'll save to the cloud, if I'm on my iMac it'll save to the cloud. I only have one hiccup, when I use my iPad, it doesn't seem to recognize my outline that I'm using in iWork on my iMac. I'll start typing on my iPad and it's like the outline doesn't even exist.
So my question is, is there an outline feature for pages for iOS? I want my notes to be seamless wheather I'm working in my iMac or iPad.
Please help!

i dont think pages for iOS does exactly what your looking for. If i were you i would just google outline apps for iPad. There are some highly rated ones that use icould sync, as well as other methods and services. Those are made exclusively for what your looking to do and most arent very expensive.

Using reference pages for document revision tracking

I'm hearing a goofy idea at work about using Frame 7 reference pages for revision tracking on a document. I think the idea is to create a reference page and put a revision tracking table on that page.
My impression is that reference pages aren't for users to muck with very much. Template updates could affect them, future Frame upgrades could affect them, etc.
Is anyone else out there doing something similar and does it work?

I can see a problem with your approach if you import formats from one file to many files. You can easily overwrite the revision information.
Say you make a reference page called "REVS" for all your book chapters and begin populating the revisions. At some point in time, somebody imports the formats (including reference pages) from chapter 3 to all the other files in the book. All the reference pages named "REVS" will be overwritten with the chapter 3 revision information.
A way ensure against overwriting would be to give a unique name to each file's revision page (REVSch1, REVSch2, etc.); however, you may end up with multiple, unused, outdated reference pages in each file. They won't cause any harm (except maybe causing confusion when updating the rev info), but may bloat your file size.

If you made a mistake and did not set the options on your account correctly, it is not Verizon's fault if you owe overages or other charges as a result. You should call back, and if you're lucky, you may get a rep to reduce the bill for you, but in general, Verizon does not correct mistakes made by their customers.

Use of pages in SharePoint 2010

We would like the user to click on a link on main Team Site that will navigate the user to a page. That page will display a lot of content and will have a Content Query Web part that in turn will retrieve many documents from different library. The objective
is to have users look at some Fast Facts. We plan to create about 5 pages each having a CQWP and showing different Fast Facts content.
Questions:
1. Should we design a wiki page? We don't want users to enter comments, no discussions, no social.
2. What are the alternatives? If not a page, what is another way to meet our objectives?
Thanks so much!
Mayank

You should not use wiki page for this purpose. You should go with blank web part page available in team sites (site pages library).
Check this link for reference:
http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2012/08/blank-site-template-and-team-site-template-%E2%80%93-what%E2%80%99s-the-difference/
If you have enabled publishing feature then you can have multiple options in Pages library.

You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
(By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X)

HT1277 i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline

i have all the correct settings for my e mail but i can't send for some reason it keeps taking my outgoing server offline can anyone help

If you can receive mail and your connection to your ISP is otherwise working, but cannot send mail, then your SMTP settings are incorrect; the SMTP server port is wrong, your SSL setting is wrong, or the username or password credentials don't match what the ISP has, or your attempted accesses are being blocked or your ISP SMTP server is offline.
And in general, don't use port 25 for your outbound mail, unless your ISP specifically requires that; these days, that port is best left to communications between mail servers and (usually) not used by any mail clients.

Large pages for SHM

Hello,
can you help me with this: I want to create a SHM region that uses 4mb large pages. If possible, I want the OS to choose the virtual address to place the SHM segment. However, I've read that it has to be aligned on 4mb boundaries.
The code to create the SHM segment looks like this:
id = shmget(13235, 16*1024*1024, IPC_CREAT | 0666);
shm = shmat(id, (void *)0, 0);How would I advise the OS to use 4mb pages for this segment?
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi,
in the meantime I tried to code something. It turned out that in my little test program the address returned by shmat is aligned to 4mb boundaries by accident... Therefore I just tried to make the pages 4mb large, but it didn't work: memcntl returned with errno == EINVAL, and I don't know why.
This is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define MEGABYTE ((size_t)(1024 * 1024))
#define FOUR_MEGABYTE ((size_t)4 * MEGABYTE)
int main() {
int id;
char *shm;
char c;
int i;
struct memcntl_mha mha;
fprintf(stderr,"memcntl error codes\n");
fprintf(stderr,"EINVAL : %d\n",EINVAL);
mha.mha_cmd = MHA_MAPSIZE_VA;
mha.mha_flags = 0;
mha.mha_pagesize = FOUR_MEGABYTE;
if ((id = shmget(13235, 16*1024*1024, IPC_CREAT | 0666)) == -1) {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmget: shmget failed\n");
    return(1);
} else {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmget successful: shmget returned %d\n", id);
if((shm = shmat(id, (void *)0, 0)) == (char *)-1) {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmat: shmat failed\n");
    return(1);
} else {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmat successful: %u\n",shm);
if ((((uintptr_t)(shm)) & ((uintptr_t)(FOUR_MEGABYTE) - 1)) == 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "address %u is aligned\n",shm);
} else {
    fprintf(stderr, "address %u is NOT aligned\n",shm);
if (memcntl(shm, 16*1024*1024, MC_HAT_ADVISE, (char *)&mha, 0, 0) < 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "memcntl failed: %d\n",errno);
} else {
    fprintf(stderr, "memcntl succeeded\n");
for (i=0; i<16*1024; i++) shm[i*1024] = 'a';
printf("Hit a key.\n");
scanf("%c", &c);
if (shmdt(shm) == -1) {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmdt failed\n");
} else {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmdt successful\n");
if (shmctl(id, IPC_RMID, 0) < 0) {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmctl failed\n");
} else {
    fprintf(stderr, "shmctl successful\n");
return(0);
}This program produces the following output:
memcntl error codes
EINVAL : 22
shmget successful: shmget returned 2780004
shmat successful: 4261412864
address 4261412864 is aligned
memcntl failed: 22
Hit a key.
shmdt successful
shmctl successfulWith "pmap -sx <pid>" I see that the SHM segment is 16 mb large and consists only of 8kb pages.

After using my MacBook Pro and pages for 2 years with the same printer, all of a sudden I can't print a pages doc even though the printer works and I can print from I/Mail, etc. Anyone have a possible answer?

Often printing problems are a sign of corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages.

On my iphone4 i need to be able to use both TDS and Yahoo e-mail. TDS works only sporadically. For instance, today I was able to both send and receive, then an hour later could not send. got the message that the server was not recognized.

On my iphone4 I need to be able to receive and send both TDS and Yahoo e-mail accounts (I also need to access from my Macbook Pro and my HP desktop). I have NO problem with Yahoo, but with TDS, the e-mail seemed to work on my phone.... and then it didn't.) In adding the TDS account, I chose "other" ( TDS is somehow accessed on the back end through gmail). For the incoming server I used the Incoming Sever Name of pop.gmail.com and the Outgoing Mail Server as smtp.gmail.com. I have using SSL "on" and the server port is 995. Is this setup correct for TDS?

FYI: POP will by default, delete messages from the server after downloading them (This applies to most pop clients, computer or mobile). POP is old tech and is not recommended if IMAP or Exchange are available. The default when setting up a g-mail type account is IMAP. Full synchronization with the server. You may also be able to set it up as an Exchange account, allowing for push e-mail and sync of calendars and contacts as well. See the Gmail help pages for instructions.
