Re: Has anyone used the Vignette Collaboration Tools?
Hi Manuel, Wow thank you so much. I've been hitting a wall on how to incorporate this so this will help loads!

In the Delivery Server part of the project you can see how the HTTP connector is being used/ configured to talk to the Collaboration Server (=Social Communities Server).

Re: Collapsible panel how to
A bunch of our CMS sites use jquery accordions (ex http://www.has.vcu.edu/prospective.html ) To CMS these, I disable the jquery in RedDot. Then I use containers for each section. I never show accordions, tabs, or many other jquery effects in the CMS because it tends to confuse our users. Plus, on this site, http://www.brandcenter.vcu.edu, keeping the jquery enabled actually interferes with editing content. If you open the container on the bottom scrolls, the scroller resets. It's very confusing for content editors. I also turn off some videos because they don't work properly in the CMS often times. So I would say - not and overkill.

Re: Collapsible panel how to
As a further note, what I have been doing recently is just the opposite - intentionally using jquery to make RedDot functions more intuitive. I built slider panels inside a project so that the users can show/hide edit via form and show/hide extended help options. For one project I enabled a javascript chat. And another has drag and drop features added to enhance the CMS experience. Obviously all these are set to not publish in the template.

Also, although very helpful most of the time, RedDot Support never mentioned this to us - and it would have saved me a great deal of time and frustration if they had. I'm posting it here in case someone else has this same issue. Environment: CMS 7.5 on Windows Server with SQL 2005 database Problem: RD export kept running and dying without finishing. I would start it at 4pm and the following morning it was still trying to run (17 hours) and kept our project locked up so that editors could not get in. Checked RD Export log. It ran until it reached IO_PGE. At this point, it stopped. Checked table IO_PGE in our production project - this is a table that maintains all of your Element information. Itt was using 500 MB *just* for indexing that table. The table itself showed 99% fragmentation. Not good. Learned from the web page given below that IO_PGE Is a very frequently used table in RedDot and therefore it should be getting RE INDEXED frequently to prevent this very problem from happening. Our project has been running since 2006 without any reindexing so clearly that was the issue. We were of course never instructed to do this by the vendor or our consulting firm as a necessary part of maintenance - so we had to 'learn the hard way'. Resolution: We reindexed the 6 most frequently used table in our most heavily used RedDot project so that they don’t become enormous and slow down performance on the whole system. This took about 30 minutes or less and did not lock out any users nor did it stop the system. Apparently with SQL 2005, you can do an online reindex - reindexing while your users are actively using the tables/database. Also, our DBA put a script in place that checks all the databases on this server WEEKLY to ensure none go over a specific index size and none become highly fragmented again. This should be done regularly by everyone who runs a SQL Server in order to maximize performance and as part of general housekeeping tasks for RedDot. Result: After the reindexing, our export ran quickly and was successfully completed in a matter of minutes. Specific Instructions: The below is copied from an IT department page at South East Missouri State University (thank you, SEMO.edu for putting this great resource online!) There is a TON of great information on this website - very helpful!

But I really dont get Open Text's naming strategy. To me it sounds like absolute marketing rubbish thats come from a bunch of suits in the marketing department who never actually use the products. Even Microsoft could come up with a better name. No one, absolutely no one (at least that I know of) calls RedDot 'Open Text Web Solutions Management Server'. It either just gets called Open Text or Management Server, but most of the times people just refer to it as good old RedDot. Its just easier to say, 'hey, can we have the estimates for the RedDot project' not 'guys, im having trouble logging into Open Text Web Solutions Management Server'. If Open Text think people are going to take up names like these they are deluded, and its a shame they like to brand products with dull and bland corporate names especially when they used to have catchy titles with character such as RedDot and Vignette.

To indicate that RedDot was now part of the Open Text family of products, we re-branded it to “Open Text Web Solutions.” In June 2009, Open Text then acquired Vignette Corporation and its Vignette Content Management product. This event created a potential naming conflict, because it would not be clear whether the name Open Text Web Solutions referred to the former RedDot or Vignette product. To reduce the potential of market confusion, Open Text decided to rename the former RedDot product from Open Text Web Solutions to Open Text Web Site Management. At the same time, we decided to rename Vignette Content Management to Open Text Web Experience Management. While both Web Content Management products, Open Text Web Site Management and Open Text Web Experience Management address different market needs.

CSS class problems

Posting here b/c I could not find answers anywhere and this may help someone else who's tearing their hair out like I was :) My page 6331 was ignoring its publication package and overwriting our main corporate homepage at the Root level. NOT GOOD! ERROR message found in Publishing Log: “Page 6331 is not linked in HTML/ENU” (HTML/ENU is name of our Project Variant). Weirder still, this page 6331 was like a ghost page - if I did a Search for the page ID, I could get to it easily and see it connected as a page beneath an anchor reference, which was referenced to the same page. But if I then expanded and contracted the anchor link, the page 6331 completely DISAPPEARED from the tree. Only way to see it again was to pull it up from the clipboard. Reasons were: 1) The bad page 6331 had the SAME header name and the SAME filename as its twin, the “good homepage” 2) The bad page was not actually linked anywhere in the project tree but kept showing up. 3) We tried again and again to delete it from everywhere it was referenced. But b/c it had same header filename as a good page, we could not delete the reference that we NEEDED to get rid of. 4) Finally, we renamed the headline of the bad page and gave it a different filename. THEN we were able to delete it, no problem. 5) When we did a search for Page ID 6331 then and did Display reference in tree, we saw it was now in the Recycle Box, which is where it should have been from the start. 5) We could now go to our good homepage and publish it. No longer did our good or bad homepage overwrite our Root homepage. My advice: 1) Do a search in your project for any page where [headline=(your bad page headline here)] and check EACH of those pages that come up. Esp do the Display reference in tree for each of them so you can see where they 'live' in your project. 2) Find out the filename you have set for this 'bad' page. While on the Project node, select Display all filenames and scroll down to that filename. This shows you all pages in tree that have THAT filename assigned and doubtless you have more than 1 such filename in there. One or both of the above will confuse RedDot - or at least this was the case for us. Hope this helps someone.

Index Page Question
I think this question has been asked, maybe even by me, but I am still without a comfortable solution for publishing directory indexes. For instance, a page named About should be published as about/ index.html. But the publication package is attached to a list on that page and therefore the homepage for About is one level too high to be published in the correct directory. Does anyone have any helpful hints on how to do this on the backend (without editing reddottemp folder on the server or making users attach the page twice)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RedDot CMS Users group.

Re: Index Page Question
Henry - If the RedDottemp folder is cleared out, will a double publication catch the index? What I mean is that if the list on the page defines the folder name about, the first publication will likely try to publish index to about without about existing yet. So there will be an error. But if I run the publication again, maybe it will pick up on the second round? This seems kind of messy, but perhaps an option. Let me know if I understand that incorrectly.

Re: using existing pages in navigation manager
Do you allow your users to connect pages in the nav manager? I did this at first and came across a bunch of issues, mainly memory related. I think it's more secure to have them attach pages to a list in SmartEdit rather than directly in the nav manager. Also you can limit the choice of content classes by using a list. As far as connecting existing pages, there are some complicated workarounds, but basically pages can only be connected once in nav manager. Probably the easiest workaround is to create a dynamic anchor on the master page, appended to the rendered navigation list in the open ul. Users can reference existing pages onto these anchors.

Re: Referencing vrs Connecting a page. Red Dot 7.5
Arsalan is right, use multiple publication packages, and the index will become the index of each new folder in your structure. Connect Existing will publish NEW pages. If you want the page to publish to one spot, and then link to that original page, then you need to reference the page not connect existing. On Nov 2, 12:03 pm, Arsalan ajam...@yahoo.com wrote: Someone correct me if I'm wrong but from my limited Reddot experience, my guess is that you'll need to create separate publication packages for each directory.

Red Dot 7.5 Any comments would be appreciated. I am working on a site with lots of folders in it. all of the folders have index.html pages in them. When red dot users connect an existing page (that is named index) on a related link, at publishing it produces an error that reads something like can't find the ___ directory, publishing to the root directory. Then it overwrites the home index page!! I started recommending the users use Reference a Page instead. My question is : Can I stop Red Dot from publishing to the root directory if there is such an error? Is what's happening the fact the connecting an existing page is altering the structure somehow, and referencing a page does not? What are the major differences between the two? I tried using authorization packages to stop the ability to connect to existing pages from the module, but it takes out referencing a page as well.

custom Form red dots
Hello all - Has anyone ever tried to make custom Edit elements via form red dots? I would like to take 5 of the 10 items on the page, not show the red dot, and have them accessible via a form. What I am doing now is turning other elements off in the form, so that only the desired elements show when the F is clicked.

Publishing asset folder to different target
Does anyone have a way to publish an asset manager to a different target than Published Pages? For a page in my site, I would like the HTML to publish to 123.com and the images to publish to 456.com/images/. Then when my HTML page calls the images it would use the full external path. There is an option in the Asset Manager folder which allows a different path. What does this do? I thought this might be my answer to publishing assets to a different domain on the same server, but it did not work. Since the asset manager populates automatically when the Publication Package is defined, it does not look like I can separate them to add one folder into a different Target.

Re: Navigational Manager structure help please

OMG...Kim you rock Thank you thank you! -Original Message- From: kimdezen dasw...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 19:02:17 To: RedDot CMS UsersRedDot-CMS-Users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Content Import Manager i.e. CIM OK.. first of all, you need to install CIM as a RedDot plugin (same way you install any other standard plugin) Once installed, access your project via SmartTree - and under 'Administer Project Structure Project' - click on the 'Content Import Manager' link in the action menu. From there you have two options - 1. 'Edit Import Profiles' or 2. 'Import' content. Under Edit Import Profiles, you can set up a whole lot of different types of imports that you run against your project. For each profile: 1. you need to set up where you want the new pages to be created under (first of all you need to determine which list/container in the project you want your pages to be connected to via a page search) 2. determine which template in your project the new pages will be created from 3. determine the data source type for your existing content (e.g. xml, html pages, database etc) 4. map the fields from the data source to each of your content class elements in the template you have selected 5. Set any page defaults (headline, filename, keywords etc) 6. Set the after import action (will your pages be automatically released after import etc??) Once that’s all set up, you can then run the import for each of your profiles. With this info, you should find that everything else is rather self explanatory. It’s worth noting that the Content Import Manager isn’t a blanket plugin you can use to convert all of the content from another format/ site into your project. It can’t do everything for you. Essentially importing content is a half manual/half automated process using CIM... but it should save you a whole heap of time! Good luck!

Re: navigation manager to xml
I created an xml file based on the nav structure using render tags. My XML template (which will be populated as pages are added) looks like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1? url_list %!! Navigation:OutputArea(search xml) !!% /url_list The navigation content class used to build the navigation area looks like this: url %!! Context:CurrentIndex.GetUrl() !!% /url navigation:nextlevel So that my xml file ends up looking like: url_list url/path/page1.html/url url/path/page2.html/url url/path/page3.html/url url/path/page4.html/url url/path/page5.html/url /url_list Hope this helps, Tiffany On Apr 1, 2:47 am, Den dennisdel...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Chris. x1, x2, x3 are like categories. x21 and x22 are like pages of x2. x31 is subcategory of x3. x311 is like a page of x31.

Re: How do I change publication target of one page in a list?
great idea, thanks. On Nov 24, 12:49 pm, Wayne Bouwmeester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I had a quick chat with a colleague here who has already put some thought into this as well. We're going to start using a custom 404 handler which creates a 301 redirect when the user hits a directory. The handler uses XPATH to look up the directory in an XML file, and create the appropriate redirect if it finds a match. If there's no match, it just gives you a standard 404 error page. I'll probably write a plugin that climbs through the cms publication structure and creates a default set of information. I'll write it up when we're done implementing it. Wayne.

Re: How do I change publication target of one page in a list?
Thanks for your response - before I read your suggestion I had connected the page in two places, giving the new page an index.html property with a simple redirect. A bit clunky, but effective for now. It looks like your string will eliminate a couple of steps. I will work it in and see what happens. Thanks again for your advice! On Nov 24, 3:14 pm, RedDot in Toronto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The page would be connected in 2 places... one is the list that you are having problems with now the other is where you want it to publish. Once you've established both links you set the main link in the linking and appearance schedule to the list where you actually want it to publish and that code that I posted will be on the list that you want to reference or fake as being a reference. The other alternative is you convert the list to a dynamic anchor list at which point you can have a publication target for each anchor. I'll post a more detailed example later. On Nov 24, 2:30 pm, Wayne Bouwmeester [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Looks interesting - I think I remember reading something about this before. But doesn't it only fake out the page builder into thinking the page is referenced by the list? Where would you put the unique publication package in Tiffany's example above? Wayne. On Nov 24, 11:43 am, RedDot in Toronto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is very hacky... but what you can do is this... ?php echo str_replace(islink=2, islink=10, %lst_articles%); ? If I understand your problem correctly. A list can only have one publication package and anything under that list will publish to the location specified in that publication package. The above code will tell RedDot to check the main link of the page in question and use the main link. What you can do is set the main link and assign it to the location where you want to publish with the publication package. It makes it think that the list is an anchor and that you are doing a reference existing page instead of connect to existing page, of course you'll have to check what the list is iterating through currently probably with the title or page ID. I'd use it sparingly though if you want to find out more about this there is a section in the RQL documentation under lists/anchors that tell you what the flag does.

List Order
When users add pages through a list element they are entered in, in the opposite direction of the nav manager. So when I call a nav area I created through the list the order is upside down.

Re: How do I hide Master Pages in Nav Manager?
To be honest, I used the nav manager because my editors could visual the tree structure better in the system. For their Knowledge Base sometimes Articles would be grouped in multi-level Categories. Sometimes they wouldn't. And adding pages to the nav manager made the process easier for them to understand. However I think the inability to limit content classes is a bigger problem. Thank you for your helpful suggestions. On Nov 17, 1:22 pm, El Pollo Loco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Unfortunately, this is not possible. Nav Mgr does not seem to pay attention to content class preassignments. All you can do is to not use Nav Mgr to create pages, and instead use the regular multilink reddot for your list and create pages with that. Generally speaking, I dont think that your editors need to access and or edit the navigation structure from with nav mgr.Is there a specific reason why they need to use Nav Mgr to create pages? I guess you could hack the Nav Mgr Create Page dialog and use RQL to get the content classes and page definitions that are preassigned, to then filter out the non-preassigned content classes from the choices of content classes for creating a page in the Nav Mgr On Nov 17, 12:49 pm, Tiffany [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the link but it's not exactly what I'm looking for.
