texte = Folks ... below you will find the URL for the content management site forthe WebDNA DRC. I have added anyone who was a registered member of the DRCto the CMS instance as a member of the 'Public' workgroup. While your DRCaccount is not directly linked to the CMS users database, I initialized itusing the same username and password that you use on the DRC. The access ofthe public workgroup is currently limited to the open source downloadtemplates. We haven't gone so far as to open up access to publicmodification of the DRC site itself.Please note the following:- as a member of the 'Public' workgroup, you each have 'editor' privilegesonly on assets contained within the directory ".../Public/downloads/sourcecode", which contains sub-folders for each of the current open sourcetemplates available in the download section of the DRC. Actions attemptedon other folders or workgroups other than "../Public/downloads/source code"will simply generate a message about insufficient privileges.- The 'Editor' role means you can modify existing assets but cannot createnew ones or delete assets.- The UI is a familiar tree/list configuration with tabs across the top forthe different functional areas. There are clickable icons in the list forthe most common actions, e.g., check-out, check-in, view, but the completelist of available actions is accessed via a right-click context menu. Thereis a 'menu' icon on the list for one-button Mac users. As "Editor", publicworkgroup members will not see functions available to administrators.- Any submitted changes to the open source templates will require 'approval'before being migrated to the Staging area, where we will test them beforedeploying to the production DRC download area. The approval process ismainly so we don't end up with highly modified templates, e.g., empty files,showing up without some form of review, and will most likely be performed byScott Anderson.- If you wish to add your own sub-folder containing your own 'new'contributions to the open source download area, but where you wish to retainapproval rights to any changes to your code, please notify me directly and Iwill configure the appropriate privileges and approval groups to your ownsub-folder. Likewise, if you wish to start your own 'workgroup' that youcan personally administer membership and privileges for new open sourceprojects that would be published to the DRC, contact me directly and I'llset you up.- If you do not have a DRC username/password, there is a guest account withonly 'view' privileges, username: guest password: guest. Contact medirectly if you want a new CMS user account created for you.- If you wish to modify any these open source templates, you must firstperform a 'check-out' which locks the file for you. You can then modify thefile either using the included 5.1 Java or text editors, or download a copyof the file, modify it locally on your desktop, then upload the new versionover the existing one. Note that you can only upload a new version of anexisting file if you have first checked it out.- While this CMS is based upon 5.1, we are beta testing a few new CMSfeatures in this instance of the DRC CMS: checkboxes for selecting multipleassets to perform a single operation; an "Activity List" tab that shows allcurrently checked-out assets for either your login, or for all members (thefull path is displayed on the mouse-over pop-up); Improved sorting andsorting preferences are now stored by username/tab combination; Asset listnow refreshes to same scroll location after any operation. These enhancedtemplates will be made available after the beta testing is complete as aseparate download that can easily be applied to any 5.1 Enterpriseinstallations.- Note the standard 5.1 feature that allows you to send an e-mail to anyonein the membership list, or anyone that has an asset checked-out (by clickingon the username that owns the lock). This makes it easy to ask someone onthe other side of the planet, or down under :-), to please check-in theirchanges so you can add your own modifications.- The URL to the DRC CMS is:http://webdnacms.smithmicro.net/cms/Default.tpl. Your comments andsuggestions are always valued, and I look forward to our developer communityusing this new tool to add value to the open source archive to benefit thecommunity members.Phil BonesteeleDirector eBusiness Products & ServicesWebDNA - Evolve your Ebusiness-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .To unsubscribe, E-mail to: To switch to the DIGEST mode, E-mail to Web Archive of this list is at: http://webdna.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
