Users unable to edit pages

Hi,
I have a particular department in my company who cannot edit
their pages as it say they are currently being edited by anyother
user. In the past when this has occured I have searched the web
server for .lck files and deleted them and this resolves the issue.
However, in this case, there are no .lck files so I have no
idea what to do.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Definately there should be a .LCK file. Say your page is on
the url
http://servername/directory/page.htm,
in the same page browse to
http://servername/directory/page.htm.LCK.
You need to remove this or
just edit it and remove the contents of it and save it.
I guess, deleting the .LCK file still re-creates it on the
fly. So try
to edit the .LCK file and remove the contents of it and try.
Later you may want to Create a Copy of the Current page and
delete this
page which is being locked out.

Unable to edit page source in CS3

For some reason I am unable to edit page source in an
external application in CS3. I can't figure out why I used to be
able to, and now i can't. please advise

If you want to open the source code in an editor of your choice you can change two hidden settings.
Type '''about:config''' into the location bar. Accept the warning message that pops up, this brings up a lot of settings. You then need to change 2 of the settings that appear, for details on the 2 settings see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.external view_source.editor.external] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.path View_source.editor.path]
You can also change those 2 settings by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394/ Dafizilla ViewSourceWith]

Unable to edit pages

I am unable to edit pages that another administrator
currently has on her PC. How can I override this or how do I get
the other
administrator to take off the page I want to edit?

If you are seeing this warning "you cant edit this page now
because ..... editing on another computer. Click here to make this
page editable"
then just click on "here"
please let me know if this is not the issue. and if it isn't,
please provide the error/warning you are getting.

User unable to edit contacts

I have a user with Outlook 2013 connected to an 2010 Exchange Server. I have a user that is unable to edit any existing contact, getting an error: Your changes cannot be saved because you don't have permission to modify some or all of the items in this folder.
Do you want to save a copy of this item in the default folder for the item?
I have checked the permissions on the mailbox folder as well as the Contacts folder. The user has "Owner" permission to these folders.
No other users report the problem, and loading the users account on another computer demonstrates the same problem.
Any ideas what I am missing?

Hi,
The error indicates that the issue is related to permission. I recommend you use the Get-MailboxPermission -Identity xxx |fl cmdlet to check if the permission is right. What's more, please check if OWA has the same issue.
If the issue persists, I recommend you remove the owner permission at first. Secondly, use the following cmdlet to add the owner permission and check the result.
Add-MailboxPermission -Identity "xxx" -Owner "xxx"
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy

User unable to edit document in protected mode until 'enable all features' is selected everytime.

In light of the most recent vulnerabilities identified in version 10.1.1 and the instructions in - http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-04.html
to use protected mode, I have informed my customers how that should be performed. However, I have at least one user that is unable to edit their document until they select the ' enable all features' function. Even after they do that, and the specific file is listed in the in the security (enhanced) > priviledged locations list, the user is required to select 'enable all features' every time for this file.
Can someone tell me a solution?

>Where are you seeing the "enable all features function"?

Unable to edit page

This is in JSK... Have created a page (simple) - "Home" in Admin UI with a Page Definition.
When I try to view the page in Contributor UI (target is to view and then edit), WCS is throwing an exception - It looks like the issue is due to something wrong in metadata but not sure about exact reason.

User unable to edit SP documents (Excel in particular) by clicking on Edit Workbook - Edit in Excel

Strange problem..
Site is on 2013 (it is hosted in Office 365) and the user is running IE9. Just recently updated from IE8 where there was no problem.
The issue is when she browses to an Excel document on the site and then clicks "Edit Workbook" and then "Edit in Excel" - the window stating "We're opening your workbook in Microsoft Excel..." appears, but it never
actually launches Excel. She can then click on "Edit in Excel Online" and it works, but she prefers to work out of the Excel client.
IF she has the foresight to click the "..." on the document and chooses the option to Edit from there, the site launches Excel and she is able to work as expected.
She has tried on multiple documents as well as on a document in her OneDrive. All behave the same.
I am able to launch this (also IE9 on a machine) without issue. She is able to launch in Firefox/Chrome and it works. Editing it online is just fine too, no matter which browser. We updated the Office install to the latest
version.
So the only trouble seems to be IE9, her machine, clicking the edit in excel option after you have opened up the work book. The IE9 settings should be pretty standard for our company's build so why her machine is not working is not clear.
Any ideas on what to check or change?

Mine is also Same problem which is having Bill,
Solid advice. I did notice a couple of things..
1- My IE9 which works does not have the OpenDcouments Class Add-on listed. Hers did.
2- We can't reset IE (locked down)
3- testing it in compatibility mode worked. Oddly we turned compatibility mode off and it continued to work.
The one thing we questioned was the installation of the latest version of Office that was done during the preliminary testing, similar to repairing from what I can see, but it was done without a reboot (never prompted, never crossed my mind) and after we finished
but before I tested these things she had rebooted. Perhaps that helped?
Either way it is working properly now. Thanks.

Unable to edit page in Dreamweaver

To add to my last question, when I open the
page directly with dreamweaver it still shows
only the bottom banner.

Let's see it....

Blank page shown after clicking "Edit Page" in Contribute CS3

I set up a site in Dreamweaver CS3 and am trying to configure Contribute to enable users to edit the content. After setting up the site in Contribute, I browse to any page, click the "Edit Page" button and all I see is the background color of the web page and a large blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen; the content of the page is nowehere to be found. I have attached an image showing what I see after I click "Edit Page".
The site navigates and renders just fine inside of Contribute, but I am unable to Edit pages.
Is this an issue that someone has seen before? Is there perhaps something in the HTML that is preventing the page from being rendered correctly in Edit mode?
Thanks,
Brian

I discovered the problem with the site.
In the template there was an EditableRegion defined around the <body> opening tag:

<body id="research">

Once I replaced this with a TemplateParam for the id attribute of the body tag everything worked just fine.
Thank you,
Brian

Editable Pages For Content Manager

Hi
On my website I would like my friend/the client to be able to login (there will be only one user) and after he logs in - some of the pages should 'change' to allow user input/edits.
I have designed the pages - both editable (with forms) and non editable (just content). - ((The website uses PHP and a MySQL database.))
What is the recommended way/'best' way to send the logged in user to the editting pages - and the general guest to the non-edit pages? - Do I use separate pages - or should I use conditionals on a single page to display content/forms based on the person viewing the site?
In otherwords - I want to create a very basic CMS for my client after he has logged in.
Thanks!
Chris

1. Make a directory in the website. I name mine "admin." This directory will be password protected, or protect access using sessions.
2. I don't know how you organized your database, but normally the content for all the pages will be in a single table (in some cases a set of joined tables). To edit the content of a page, you need to populate a form in your admin system with the desired page content. So first you have a menu page which lists the pages (i.e. contact, home page, etc.). The items listed should link to the form that edits the page content and opens it up with the appropriate page content.
For instance, you can use the GET variable to send the appropriate page ID, like this:
edit_page.php?page_id=7
The edit page will contain a form with fields such as TITLE, MAIN_PHOTO, MAIN_CONTENT, LEFT_COLUMN_CONTENT.
The content fields will use the textarea form field type and usually you want to connect them to a WYSIWYG editor like TinyMCE or CKeditor. My preference is CKeditor. Using such an editor gives the content manager the ability to format text, create lists, add images, etc.
There is an eBook called Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL, published by Sitepoint. It isn't the best book about PHP/MySQL, but it does focus on the elements of a basic CMS.

T&E-Unable to edit/print expense report - Page not found or is unavailable

Hello Gurus!!
We have some of the users reporting that they are unable to edit/print the expense report. When they try to do that they are getting the error message "page not found or is unavailable". We verified that the URL for the PCD page parameter is being maintained correctly in the Homepage Area framework.
Could anybody please suggest what else could be wrong?
Thanks

Missing pemissions

After userA check out a page, edit the page and save, Sharepoint prompt userA have checked out the page

In one of site collection at our SP2013 farm, we have "SharePoint Server Publishing" site feature and "SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure" site collection feature activated.
One of user (UserA) create a page in a page library. The new page is marked as "checked out by UserA". It is fine.
Then UserA open the page -> edit page -> key in something and "save". Then the page prompt him "The file Pages/subfolder/test001.aspx has been modified by i:0#.w|test\userA on 8Aug2014 xx:xx:xx" and ask him to choose "Leave
this page" or "say at this page". The date time is exactly the time he was editing the page.
Whatever he choose will save the page and return to "View" mode (non-edit mode).
It is not the only problem. When userA want to edit the same page again and save, it prompt him that "The page could not be saved because your changes conflict with recent changes made by another user. If you continue, your changes will be lost."!
When userA choose continue or "check out". Follow screen show up:
What can we do? In summary, userA cannot edit a page because userA have checked out! We have tried for different users have exactly same issue.

We are having the same problem, the one thing we have found is if we use the Save Icon on the top right hand side of the page in the ribbon (next to follow), that Save works just fine. What is causing the issue is when trying to use the Save Icon on
the left hand side of the ribbon that has the dropdown options to 'Save', 'Save and Keep Editing' or 'Stop Editing'. It doesn't matter if you just click on the main Icon or choose any of the dropdown options, they all cause issues with the pages.
Thoughts?

Is IE running in compatibility mode, and if you're accessing CA from the SharePoint server, did you run it "As Administrator"?

I am unable to edit information I have typed into a spacebar, this includes backspace, and when I highlight it, even after reloading the page

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on my 3 yr old Macbook, though I am unsure if this is in fact connected. Now I am often unable to edit information I have typed into a search bar or text box (such as this one) even after reloading that page or pressing first the back, then the forward buttons. Has anyone else run into this, and does anyone know what is going on?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

Give users ability to edit ONLY A SECTION of a web page

I have a site that I maintain for a band. One page has their
upcoming clubs dates. I want them to be able to update that section
of the page only and nothing else anywhere on that page or the
site.
This is a DreamWeaver site, based on a template that defines
everything about every page on the site... They do not know HTML
and cannot have access to any part of the page except for their
dates listing. I cannot allow the user access to edit any other
part of the page or site except their upcoming club dates.
If I understand, "Joomla" does something like this, but the
page (or maybe the whole site) needs to be to Joomla so I guess I
would lose my DreamWeaver template advantages.
Maybe there is an appropriate piece of blog-style code I can
drop into the page and give a user this ability without letting
them do anything else?
Hosting is Linux, if that matters.
Thx folks!

I think Cushy.cms is all you need for this project. But if
you don't want
to edit via their server pages, have a look at these.
NanoCMS - Resides on your server. Simple to use. Requires PHP
- no database
needed.

Content Seed - Resides on your server. Available in ASP, PHP,
or ASP.net
versions - no database needed.
