I have implemented New UI SiteEdit in Tridion 2011 SP1. When I have created a page without components in it ,I am able to edit the page. If I am inserting the component I am not able to edit the page. Please help on this issue?
When changing a Page in New UI (Experience Manager or XPM), the page is checked-out. What you might be seeing for other users is expected behavior--other users should not be able to edit the page in the CME or within XPM.
Also, you should be restricted from editing content page for even the same user that has a different session (e.g. viewing the page from another browser).
When editing the page with the same user and session, you should be able to add multiple components. The page is checked out. Editing content on the page should be "editing components," rather than the page itself.
Let us know if you're seeing something else.
This can be a result of having an syntax error in your inline editing commands (i.e. the JSON syntax inside HTML comments). Normally you would use the OOTB building blocks that generate this for you, however, in some extreme scenarios, this syntax is written out by hand. I suspect that you may have the latter scenario. Verify your component and component field command syntax.

I am new to Microsoft Dynamics. I managed to create new solution and know how to add web resource to particular page like Contacts. Also, I have added few buttons to Ribbon control with their actions.
Now my problem is, I want to add a button either to ribbon control or anywhere in page, which I can access in complete CRM (like I can do in Master Page of asp.net), and which will help me open my web resource.
For example, if I click on Charts bar, web resource should be visible, otherwise it should be hidden.
My question may be lame, because I am very new to CRM Dynamics, kindly suggest my way is correct or I need to take some different approach?
If I understand it correctly you're looking for a way to add a button to multiple screens without need to modify each of them separately. (To avoid the pain when modifying all the ribbons or all the forms.)
In that case I'd suggest creating a separate JS web resource with code that adds a button with desired functionality, styling etc. And use Form Libraries Manager from XrmToolbox to bulk add the resource to all the forms.
I am working on a website using DNN as my Content Management System of choice, and I'm running into an issue where the main content area and the side area will switch based on which page you are on.
In the .ascx file I know I can write a conditional based on the URL you're on:
<% If Request.RawUrl.Contains("piece-of-url") Then %>
but I was wondering if there is a more permanent or reliable way to mark a page, just in case the page name changes, or if there are pages underneath that page that may not have the same styling (although, I can include the extension as a way to get around this).
Thanks for your help.
In DNN if you want to change the way the page functions, base on the page you are on, you would typically either define a separate SKIN as Brent Mannering suggests, or apply a differnt module to different pages on the site.
That being said, you can also target the "TabId" of DNN pages, in the code for the ASCX file for the Skin you could define functionality based on the tabid.
When I've needed to do this, I've created a 'Bookmark' module and added it on the page.The bookmark module just stores a value pair in the settings, in my instance I was using values like <"HotelHomePage", "Hilton"> or <"DestinationHomePage", "Sydney">. This way, page name doesn't matter, you can change the page name, move the page to a different parent, but as long as the bookmark value on the page stays the same, you will always have it.
Just make sure that a bookmark exists for each page you need it on.
We are using SDL Tridion 2009 SP1.
We have implemented a new functionality, an extension in our CMS which allowed us to lock a page.
If a page it is locked it cannot longer be published ( the information of a page that is locked is kept in a database which was created for this extension).
We want to add a new icon which will notify the user on the new status of the page.
Now there are 4 combination of icons ( no action , checked , published , checked and published )
Since I do not have a long experience with the CMS interface I want some help on finding a solution that have no impact on performance and
that it easy to implement in terms of not doing of lot of modification.
Below is my investigation regarding this:
I noticed that the way the icons are render in the cms is not a simple mechanism that can be easy updated.
Each time we click on an item in the left side of the CMS, in order to render the list from the right side a ajax call (with an xml request) is done to the WebGUIResponder.aspx. page.
The response we will get back is a xml that contain the attribute field Icon
<tcm:ListItems xmlns:tcm="http://www.tridion.com/ContentManager/5.0"
ID="tcm:yyy-zzzz-4" Managed="68" ItemType="4">
<tcm:Item ID="tcm:yyy-zzzzz-64" Type="64" Title="NotificationTest"
Modified="2011-05-09T09:42:27" FromPub="400 YYYY Website Master (EN-GB)"
IsNew="false" Icon="T64L0P1"/>
</tcm:ListItems>
Based on this field Icon attribute (Icon="T64L0P1) the image name starts to be processed.
T64 = means it is a page
L0 = is not checked
P1 = it is already published
For such a field the image name result will be = T64.16x16.List.Published.gif
I couldn't find a way to update this field through the page xml, is not an information that is kept in the xml but rather is build in the dll when the
xml request . (Somewhere based on other fields like published and something else this Icon field is calculated.)
So if it is not possible to modify this field the option we may have is:
In order to integrate our change in the CMS without modifying their .dll (this for compatibility with the new version of the SDL Trdion is not good to modify in the dlll)
and without changing too much the logic I was thinking to this approach.
We can make a new Ajax call to a a new page WebGUICheckPageLocked.aspx (need to be tested what will be the impact on the performance).
In the code behind of this page we can determine if the page is locked or not ( used our internal function that determine if the page is locked or not this functionality is already done).
In the page we will change the icon field to something T64L0P1E01 (adding some extra information which will allowed us to determine the new status of the page ).
We will also modify the In the GetPNGIconName javascript function we can then make an extra check taking in consideration the new information E01 ...)
Please if someone have some better idea on this, maybe it is something easy that can be done, maybe it is a way we can update the Icon field.
Kind Regards,
Cristina
I'll paste my answer from the forums here, so everyone can see (and maybe bring ideas on how to do it differently?)...
In 2011 I would use a Data Extender to change the icon.
Since this is 2009 you will need to use the less elegant predecessor: the GUI Responder Extension.
Essentially you need to manipulate the XML that is returned for the relevant requests (such as the GetList on a Folder).
I couldn't immediately find any documentation on this - which is not surprising as it is an older version. But it boils down to this:
Create a .NET assembly containing a class with the following method signature and attribute:
[ResponseMessageHandler]
public XmlDocument HandleMessage(XmlDocument messageXml, string userName, HttpContext httpContext, object tcmSession)
In that method, you can change the icon set in the XML based on your own logic.
In the extension configuration file, add a section to hook into the response for the lists you care about
(substitute "YourResponderExtension.dll" with the name of the assembly you added):
<ProcessResponse>
<!-- GetList -->
<ExecuteWhen>/tcmapi:Message/tcmapi:Response/tcmapi:Request/tcmapi:GetList</ExecuteWhen>
<!-- Handler for all of the above -->
<Execute>/bin/YourResponderExtension.dll</Execute>
</ProcessResponse>
Add more elements before the if applicable - and make the XPath query as specific as you can to avoid your extension being called unnecessarily. You might also need to check for more cases in the .NET code that you can't do with the XPath query.
ZIP up your extension and deploy it with TcmExtensionInstaller.exe.
From your text I'm assuming you've already worked out how to create and package an extension in 2009.
I hope that these smalls steps can get you started.
If you have any trouble or follow-up questions, just let me know and I'll see if I can answer them.
I add content to an article (either administrator or as content user) and I save the changes as Full HTML or Filtered HTML.
Once I run CRON,the article is marked updated and when I preview it i see plain text instead of HTML.Some sort of over writing is taking place which I am unable to figure out.Earlier I thought it was a problem with the webform module but it is not.I tried disabling the modules one by one but was not able to detect the problem.
Do you check your content under the same user ? I can hardly believe it's a time related issue. It seems more like a rights problem. Do all the relevant roles have access to the input filter Full HTML ?
I want to make a site where there user can basically navigate the web from within an iframe. The catch is that I'd like to be able to have more control over what is rendered within the iframe. Specifically,
I'd like to be able to filter out images or text, disable forms etc.
I'd also like to be able to gather feedback such as what links the users clicked on.
Question 1:
Is this even possible using a standard back-end scripting language (like php), with html and javascript on the frontend?
Question 2:
Would I first need to grab the source of the site before it is rendered, then do whatever manipulation is necessary, and finally re-render it somehow?
Question 3:
Could somebody please explain the programming flow that would occur here (assuming its possible)?
I think you would probably want to grab the source of the of site (with server-side code) before rendering it. You might run into cross-site scripting issues if you try to use JavaScript. Your iframe would load a page like render.php and pass the address of the page to render os a querystring parameter. Then use regular expressions to find elements in the HTML that render.php downloads from the address. Rewrite the HTML as necessary and then write it all out to the iframe.
Rewrite links so that that the user is taken to a page you control and redirected onto a target site if you want to track where people are going. Example: a link in the page needs to go to google.com. You would send them to tracker.php?target=http://google.com. You control tracker.php and can log each load of this page and then redirect the user to the target site.
Update:
Another possible solution is to use Apache or other server to proxy the target website. There are modules like mod_proxy for this. There may also be modules that let you parse the HTML or you could roll your own.
I should point out that even the best solutions offered to your question will be somewhat brittle if you do not have full control over the target site. You will want to have lots of error handling or alerting.
You can have a look at this. It uses iFrame really well, and maybe even use the library it has.
