Re: Get URL of page via RQL
We've had this requirement a lot of times, and discussed this often with RedDot support, but we had to accept that retrieving the full url is almost impossible. It depends on the following: - File name of the page itself - File name of a target container page, if used - Extension (if not given in the filename): project variant setting, general publishing setting, or template setting - Path, depending on language and project variant - prefixes - suffixes - variant dependent file names (yes/no)? Also for entered file names (yes/(no) There is only one that is able to tell the url of a page: His name is The Publishing Process :-) He is the last one in a long queue of processes, and you cannot get the file name with any of the processes (Render Tags, PreExecute, RDExecute)... Well, one chance: If you are a really really keen and passionate RQL programmer, then you could find a way... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RedDot CMS Users group.

Re: Get URL of page via RQL
There is a way to do it in RQL (I use it in one of our projects). My method makes a few assumptions which may not be appropriate for others (e.g. uses the default project and language variant, assumes an aspx file extension etc etc). I'm pretty sure its present in the last upload of my library to this forum. The method is Page.PublicationPath which returns what I'm after. Take a look, it may help you out - you could easily make a more parameterised method filling in the blanks that Stefan has mentioned.

PreExecute timeout
Hi, I'm trying to increase the PreExecute timeout limit for an ASP script I'm running. According to the Server Manager documentation, if a value greater than 10 seconds is entered into the 'PreExecute-Timeout' property, it is ignored. Is there any way round this limitation. The script I'm running will take approximately 1 minute to run, so I would much rather run it once at publish time rather than every time the page is viewed.

Why do you use RedDot?
I was just thinking about this the other day. I recently joined a company that is using RedDot to manage a website we maintain. Just digging through RedDot makes me sick, the way it handles things seems very ineffective, especially for the kind of management we are doing with the website. Seems to complicate a lot of things. I have used other CMS' that are very powerful, fast, and extremely simple. Just curious as to why people are using RedDot over any other CMS? I know that RedDot is expensive, and that there are FAR cheaper alternatives out there. So, why are YOU using RedDot? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RedDot CMS Users group.

Re: Why do you use RedDot?
Powerful and stable, compare to the other powerful, fast, and extremely simple CMS. I'm sure you'll get your answer later. 2009/7/31 dmackerman dmacker...@gmail.com I'd also like to note that I am a designer by trade, and working with RedDot is a nightmare. The definition of a content management system is just that, it manages the content. It shouldn't get in my way AT ALL in regards to the design. I want this to become an open-ended discussion about why you/group/ company chose to use RedDot.

RE: Why do you use RedDot?
I have never had RedDot get in the way of my designs, or those designs received from contractors. It is a bear to learn up front, but in the end it's not so bad and even fun to work in. For us the main selling point was the user interface for our content contributors, and the substantial editorial tools. We have been using the tool for six years now, and granted the CMS landscape has evolved immensely in that time, in some ways RedDot has fallen behind where others have moved ahead, but at the end of the day, it still is one of the best, if not the best, enterprise level CMS out there.

Re: Published file names
The Magic Page-Naming Plug-in that I'm imagining would run through the site once, generate a list of all pages and all proposed names, with conflicts (odd characters? duplicate names?) highlighted in red -- and maybe questionable ones (had to delete a lot of little words from the headline to make the page name?) in yellow -- and needing to be fixed before proceeding. Then you'd hit the Go! button and it would name all the pages... -Rob. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RedDot CMS Users group.

Issues with RSS Feeds
Hello all, Just a precursor, I've read all of the other RSS Feed posts in this group and am still kind of confused on how the process works. First things first, I've created a Content Class name RSS Feed. It has the basic XML structure for an RSS feed. The I understand that part. Looks something like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? rss version=2.0 channel titleChelan County PUD News Releases/title linkhttp://www.chelanpud.org/news.html/link descriptionChelan County PUD News Releases/description languageen-us/language pubDate%inf_PubDate%PST/pubDate lastBuildDate%inf_PubDate%PST/lastBuildDate docshttp://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss/docs managingEditorcarole.duttlin...@chelanpud.org/ managingEditor !IoRangeList !IoRangePreExecute item title![CDATA[%hdlTitle%]]/title linkhttp://www.chelanpud.org%lst_NewsReleases%/ link description%sftTeaser%/description pubDate%stf_Date% 17:00:00 PST/pubDate guid isPermaLink=falsehttp://www.chelanpud.org %lst_NewsReleases%/guid /item !/IoRangePreExecute !IoRangeNoRedDotMode!IoRangeRedDotMode%lst_NewsReleases %!/IoRangeRedDotMode!/IoRangeNoRedDotMode !/IoRangeList /channel /rss I guess the part I do not understand is what is the content of the listItem (lstItem) supposed to look like? Is it supposed to be static content (such as an HTML list li's) or dynamic content (the % % placeholders that are in the RSS Content Class)? Could someone post a sample listItem that they are linking to their RSS Content Class? This seems like a simple thing to accomplish, and I've created multiple RSS Feeds outside of RedDot. RedDot just confuses me (mainly because I am new to the platform). Where is my logic off on this whole thing?
