Have you tried a big stick? ;) If the boss just needs to see it in situ, you can always set up a separate project variant with it's own publication target. This will let you publish out draft content somewhere that people can review it. Paul On 15 Feb 2012, at 15:00, Dmitry Terner wrote: > We

Hi Dmitry, Emily Thanks for the responses. The content blocks within the page are only connected to this container. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the content block; I've tried deleting and adding a brand new block... so I'd be fairly happy saying it's not related to the linking/app

I've seen that message all too many times in the past. As Andreas says, normally it will happen when you import a project from another server where the users are missing on the new system. It can also happen when your Reddot server is connected to Active Directory sadly. If an account is change

Hi Gavin The only other way I can think of to clean things up is to create a copy of your content class, remove any of the unwanted placeholders and then swapping the content classes being used by your pages/content. I'm not sure if this will actually be of any benefit to you though as it will

Both very valid and excellent points that will make your life s much simpler. There's also the little caveat that they won't (or don't like to) answer support calls from people that haven't been on the training course as there's a high probability that if they ask you to do something to

That assumes that your dev project has the same content. In my experience Dev projects slowly devolve into "Test page 1", "Test page 2" ;) The easier way to migrate just the changes you want is to create a blank page in your DEV project called Export. This page needs to have a list on it

Actually... I'd have to disagree. When you're first starting out, things are confusing as the official training courses give you a very basic, but certainly not necessarily the best, way of building a project. They need to teach you too much to cover the most efficient way of putting togeth

There's also the undocumented ability to add folder names/paths into the page name field for each page, which can come in handy when you're dealing with the limited publication options in Navigation Manager projects :) More info : http://www.reddotcmsblog.com/publishing-page-to-subfolder T

Hi Nitin If you talk to your local RedDot account manager, or support team they should be able to supply you with them. As far as I'm aware, that particular plugin has always been a separate installation btw. thanks Paul http://www.reddotcmsblog.com On 15 May 2009, at 18:14, Nitin wrote:

Ahhh this is a common issue. When you're working in smartEdit RedDot looks for the tag so it can place some reddot code in there for the dots. If it can't find the body tag, it helpfully adds it for you as it adds in it's own code... instantly invalidating your code and causing all sorts

You need to be extra careful when replacing content classes. When you are doing the mapping of fields, anything that doesn't exist in the new template is deleted. Permanently. On 16 Feb 2009, at 12:16, RedDot wrote: > > Edit: What happens if my new content class doesn´t have 2 of the > ele

Stop me if I'm wrong (this is all from memory as I don't currently have Reddot access!), but isn't what you're doing here importing a copy of all your templates from the parent project into the new project rather than inheriting the templates? This is how we migrated templates from our dev
