Re: CMS for web site

[Paul & Caroline van der Mey]

My only experience with CMS was with a site that needed updating  
because the provider of the initial CMS went out of business, the  
info was transferred to another server. Became a total nightmare and  
took months to resolve and required a total rewrite of the site.


In that time the ability to update the site was effectively lost,  
mainly due to the level of access / permissions available.


Also consider the ease of use if a number of people may be updating  
site information. Trying to update page text in a text box 50 mm wide  
and 100 mm high is not a pleasant experience.


Make a note in your risk assessment about the consequences of it  
falling over and plan for that eventuality.

Paul

Hi muggers

I have a query regarding CMS (content management system) for a web  
site. I have only just heard about this from a web designer who  
says it is very necessary for my quite simple web site, as Im  
wanting to make my site more interesting and be able to update with  
more information over time.


My question is how will I know if I need to have this, as it is  
expensive and by the sounds of it ties me down to their hosting of  
my site so I can use the CMS to update the site. The hosting is  
quite expensive, relative to what I pay now. They are charging $360/ 
year just to host the site.


Could someone please give me some advice or online sites that I can  
check out to help me make a decision. I am a complete novice but  
eager to learn what I can.


I have dabbled in Golive 6, but at the moment have no spare time  
and realise there is a lot more to making a good site than at a  
first glance.


Many thanks to everyone

Chris

You can Jump from 10.2 to 10.2.8 with a Combo update.
But you do need to find the answer to the Firmware needs.
Sorry , I cannot help you with that.

I found 10.2.8 to be a stable great OS.




Are there firmware updates that should be done first?
Advice appreciated.

Re: organised itunes over multiple drives?

[Paul & Caroline van der Mey]

It's not very high on current storage but I have a SCSI Hardware raid 
box (Rack mountable - about the size of an XServe Raid I'd expect) for 
sale at an agreeable price!


4 swappable drive carriers hold 68 pin SCSI drives (Seagate Barracuda's 
1x 18 GB = ST318436LW & 3x 9 GB = ST39173W). 4 empty bays still 
available without drive carriers.


You'll want a 68 pin SCSI card to get the most from it.

Alternatively, if you have a 68 pin PCI-SCSI card about to be thrown out 
I'll put it into use myself!


Thanks

I was wondering if anyone was aware of a way to create a 'virtual

(lossless compressed from my CD collection) and soon it will be larger
than the 200GB drive.

I am considering getting a 250GB drive, but I can see this will only
ultimately be an interim measure. If I could span over multiple drives
this would save much hassle. Currently I can't consolidate the
library. I tried relocating 50GB off the drive, but it still wouldn't
let me consolidate it.
 


Without actually having done this, you should be able to create a raid
array from multiple drives, then stick your iTunes folder on the new
raid volume. (And you get redundancy for free :-)

I'm not sure how much you know about how this works, but at a system
level you can combine multiple drives into one logical volume, that
shows up as one place to store stuff. This is what geeks with too much
time on their hands did when they created a raid array on floppy disks
and across several iPods.


Cheers,
   



Disk Utility in OS X has the ability to make a software raid.  As for
hardware, either a card or an Xserve raid box ;-)

Re: Lexmark printer query

[Paul & Caroline van der Mey]

My parents have one in use with iMac G5 OSX.3

Paid $88 at Hardly Normals so shop around, they are all over the place 
at a range of prices.


Done a couple of scans and prints with it. Photos at highest quality 
settings take some time to print, were full A4 size though and I've 
nothing to compare it with.


Most notable aspect was the quietness while printing, very impressive.

Must be fairly easy to use as Dad managed to do a scan (but cut off the 
edges of the photo) on his first attempt at scanning and totally 
unassisted. He's had very limited exposure to computer use. He's also 
exploring iMovie etc.


Cannot comment on the cost of cartridges as they are still on the first 
set with only a smallish amount of printing under their belts.

included (loose extra page).

Also on this list there has been the following message: -


Hi everyone,

Thank you Garry, we down loaded photorescue immediately.

A friend of mine had this happen here in Perth just last week.

230 professional portraits loading and iPhoto crashed (possibly over 
full HD or a dodgy memory card?).


Big panic. Urgent phone calls. Do we force quit or what?

We searched the HD with the finder and luckily they were there.

Dear WAMUG,

Just hit a problem with iPhoto. I ran it and imported from my camera, 
with "delete after import" checked. I went away and came back, it 
appeared to have done the importing and said the camera had "no 
photos". I was a bit shocked when the import only showed the three 
oldest of the 22, and Last Import showed the same. I closed it and 
reopened - and even these photos had disappeared off iPhoto.


I found that the disc was pretty full and got an error to that effect 
when I tried to boot Preview as well. So I have now freed up half a 
gig and re-run iPhoto - still missing those imports. Searched using 
finder - managed to find the three which did show up initially on 
iPhoto, dragged them in and all's well there.


I'm a bit shocked at this point and desperately want to retrieve the 
other pictures if they exist. Any hints as to where I could look? Any 
way of revealing hidden files on the memory card? Would iPhoto really 
have deleted them off the camera if it had run out of disc space, 
before writing to disc?


Thanks for any advice. Panicking,

Found the current Hardly Normal catalogue very interesting ('The

Page 8 is the Sony Vaio page. At the bottom of the page is a section 
called Sony Sophistication with the guy at his computer and the clips 
read: -


"I've got to finish this presentation"
"It's all so easy"
"Yeah, I've just finished" (talking on the phone)
"Here comes that promotion"

- Be on the cutting edge of technology with the stylish Sony Vaio, now 
even more portable and convenient.


ONLY I SEE IN THE PICTURES

"I've got to finish this presentation" = iBook
"It's all so easy" = Cinema Display with Harman Kardon's SoundSticks 
(Apple speakers)
"Yeah, I've just finished" (talking on the phone) = Cinema Display with

Re: Entourage

I'm no database expert by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm specifying two databases at work and Access is the tool we have.
The person helping me out has programming and large database support 
experience and pointed out there are better tools out there, especially 
for when the data base grows fairly large. Something to do with the 
encapsulation of the data within the (one?) file.


I think Access may be one of those things Mac people want because it is 
not available rather than for what it specifically does, and of course 
having to deal with data stored in that format at times.


We have used a database report writing tool called Crystal Reports 
(Windows , not sure if there is a Mac 
equivalent) that is more intuitive and flexible than the Access interface.


I have a copy of 4D at home on my Mac and have got as far as the 
tutorial, long way to go for me yet, but I have things in this area I'd

The collected e-mails are kept in a standard address book.

The system for collecting them has some controls in
preferences -> mail & newsgroups -> addressing
including wether or not to actually collect and the number to max out at.

It can be a very handy feature.

As far as malicious programmers go there are some scenarios I can think

addresses collected.

Business Cards in AppleWorks 6
The wizard creates a database which is an appropriate way to achieve 
this goal. I use a database to print labels for products as it allows 
quite a lot of flexibility in presentation styles by selecting different 
Layouts and variety of labels on a page by choosing Records to be 
printed. Basic process:-

1. Set up a printer if not done already. Applications -> Utilities -> 
Print Centre and add a printer.

2. Open AppleWorks and create a database...
2a. Add appropriate fields eg, name, company, phone, address etc. 
This is a 'follow the prompts' system using Type the field name click 
Create repeat till all fields required are in place
2b. If you don't get it how you want first time go to Layout -> 
Define Fields and make changes. Best to make changes before you enter 
too much data if possible
2c. You can delete all but one card (or one card for each person), 
correct and duplicate as many as required. If you need to make changes 
to the field setup after entering data.

3. Go to File -> Page Setup and choose the options that match your 
paper / orientation etc.

4. Go to Format -> Rulers -> Ruler Settings... and set your units of 
measure. I occasionally swap between text and graphic rulers but mostly 
use text rulers. You'll see the difference when in Layout Mode.

5. Go to Format -> Document and set page margins to match your paper.

6. Go to Layout -> New Label Layout and follow the prompts to match your 
paper & business card size.

7. Go to Layout -> Layout. From here you can arrange the fields, fonts, 
styles placement, pictures, colours etc for the card.

8. Swap between Layout -> Layout and Layout -> Browse to see the results 
of your work.

9. When satisfied with the result duplicate your card(s) as required.

10. To see what will be printed choose Window -> Page View if it's not 
ticked already.

I'm expanding my G4/500/AGPGraphics/OSX.1.5 on a budget.

I've picked up some Ultra Wide SCSI drives with 68 pin connections and I 
want to connect them internally.

Two options are:-

1. connect to my existing Adaptec 2930 SCSI card using a 50 -> 68 pin 
adapter (if this is possible).

2. picking up an acceptably priced PCI SCSI card and cable with 68 pin 
connector.

I'll also need some jumpers to set drive ID's.

Does anyone have items or advice I could use to achieve my goal?

Thank you

Paul

Re: Netscape 7.0

[Paul & Caroline van der Mey]

Jim

My copy of Netscape 7.0 asks if I want to open with Acrobat or save to 
disk when clicking a link to a .pdf file.

I notice under
Preferences > Navigator > Helper Applications
there is an option to reset the Helper Applications list so you will be 
asked what to do when downloading any file (i.e. save or download).

Alternatively you could select the .pdf file type from the list and set 
that to 'save to disk'.

Regards

Paul

Re: Apple Ads on radio...

I've heard comments from some of the announcers about their Macs at home 
- was when the Melissa virus etc were 'announced'. Generally they were 
thankful of owning a Mac at that time.

Re: Palm 4

[Paul & Caroline van der Mey]

Angus & Sue & Jordan Russell (Phuket) wrote:


Hi

Following discussion about Palm 4 I went and downloaded it. I only use it as
a desktop app, since I don't use a Palm handheld

Having really liked the previous incarnation I will probably return to it
for one reason - P4 doesn't have the banner event option, or I have I missed
it somewhere. 

I use the program in the same way you do, ie nothing to sync with. The 
specific banner option has gone missing but the capability is still 
there. When creating an event I chose "no time" and "repeat every day" 
till the end of the desired banner length. Knew it must be able to do it 
because my old banners were showing, so I had a look at how they were 
set up. If you set a time in the day it will created the item repeated 
at that time each day - very unbanner like.



Also having put an alias in the start-up menu, all it does is
open Palm, not my actual files, again unlike the the previous edition. Again
maybe I am missing something?

It is different, maybe more usefull/usable because of the different 
memory management system maybe?



So far, I can't see that they have improved anything, all they have done is
renamed parts of it, and changed some icons.

Anyone else feel the same - or is there now going to be an inundation of e's
telling me all the finer points I have missed :-)

I wondered what had changed apart from the icons even used the same 
display theme!
What I'd like to see is the ability to allocate a picture to the printed 
calendar pages so I can have a personalised hard copy calendar that's 
interesting to look at!



Yes I checked it is Palm 4.0 & not the beta version.

As an aside, (I checked this in system profiler) is 431 applications, 253
extensions, and 57 control panels representative of an average system
profile?


Applications = 415
Extensions = 163
With OS10.1.3 and OS9.2.1

Share a second hard drive with OSX

[Paul & Caroline van der Mey]

Using a G4/500(AGP Graphics) with one internal IDE and one internal SCSI
hard drive connected via an Adaptec 2930 SCSI card, a local ethernet
connection via a hub to a TiBook G4/550.

Problem
The TiBook cannot see the SCSI drive over the network, can connect to
the IDE drive in the G4/500(AGP Graphics).

How can I fileshare the SCSI drive?

Both are running OSX 10.1.2 and OS9.2.1

Have attempted to connect from TiBook to SCSI drive using both OS's,
neither have been successful.

SCSI drive is
- formatted as Mac OS Standard (HFS)
- does not have a system folder (only 250MB, being used as a test)
- it does have a desktop folder left over from the old system it had
- has not been formatted in it's present location

Other drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (HFS+).

The SCSI drive is available and mounted on the desktop of the G4/500(AGP
Graphics) as expected. Both Macs share a printer and can swap files and
share an internet connection all via ethernet, it's just the SCSI drive
that is out in the cold.

Any guidance appreciated, prefer to have it shared via OSX.

Had a look around the Apple site but have not yet seen anything to
assist.

Paul

Have you by chance been attempting to share an internet connection using OSX
as the NAT server (Like with Brickhouse or IPNetShareX). I found when turning
on the 'Enable at start-up' feature and booting into OSX that the connection
wanted to be made during start-up and NO did not compute. I've turned the
'Enable at start-up' off and do it manually when required.

These programs are only a GUI for what can be done via the terminal - but the
terminal's out of my depth!

Paul
