Ektron 9 - steps to trigger issue ... we think:
Create new content folder
Edit folder properties
Smart Forms tab - untick inherit, and remove "Blank HTML"
The "new" menu on the folder now:
Does not show DMS Document as a menu item
Does not show Smart Form list as a pull-out sub menu.
Question
How do I get "Blank HTML" back into the smart form tab property in the folder
Why is this happening
Help!!
[Edited] Workaround
eGandalf gave the simple answer via Twitter (previously I had attempted a workaround of putting inheritance back on then resetting the tree): toggle the "Require Smart Forms" checkbox on the "Smart Forms" tab and the Blank HTML option will come back.
This is by design. When you remove the HTML option, note that it checks the "Require Smart Form" box (and, reciprocally, checking the Require Smart Form box removes the HTML option). That means that all other types, including PageBuilder, DMS documents, or HTML are now forbidden in this folder.
As a best practice, you shouldn't be mixing types in a folder anyway. A lot of people do, but that doesn't make it any more valid. If you've got a folder for Press Releases and you have a Press Release Smart Form, you shouldn't have any other type of content in that folder. The less you mix types, the less filtering you have to do either with the API or post-request via LINQ. As a result, you'll have a more consistently performing site.
In situations like this, where I want the DMS assets and the Smart Form content to a) both be searchable, b) both be managed by the same user/group and c) there's a strong connection between the two (e.g., Whitepaper information Smart Form + PDF asset download), I'll create a child folder and allow DMS assets there. In the Case Study example, the folder structure may look like this:
Content
Case Studies (Smart Form only)
Downloads (DMS Allowed)
In contrast, if I don't want the DMS assets to be independently searchable, I'll remove them from the Content folder entirely and place them in a separate, root-level, non-searchable folder called Resources or Downloads.
Because Blank HTML is a default (and ID 0), you might have to reassign it in the database.
My guess is that removing the Blank HTML option impacts DMS retrieval in the workarea specifically.
In this case, I'd reach out to support, I've never actually needed/wanted to do this.
Edit:
I dug a bit more to try and give you something to try.
You'll need to reinsert an xml_id into folder_to_xml_tbl.
insert into folder_to_xml_tbl VALUES(your_folder_id, 0, 1);
Ektron support have replied:
Hi ,
Engineering have advised that DMS documents are unstructured.
By forcing all content to be structured content, it disallows raw html as well as dms assets and only allows documents with structure to be created

I am currently trying to setup a template where the user is prompted to add "tags" to their document when they open a new MS-Word file. Currently I have broken this down in a few parts.
Startup prompt
Connect the document/script to the "tag" property (so the user don't have to manually change it)
Ideally implement a drop-down menu, so I don't accidentally tag some files with small differences such as spaces, case sensitive formating etc.
Currently I have tried most of what Word has to offer, which is why I came here. The easiest answer is to go in "File -> Information -> Tags" and edit this manually, but this is what I hope to automate. I have used the feature "Quick Parts", where I can add a field which edits properties such as "Author", "Tags" etc. The problem here is that they are not customizable, so I can not implement a drop-down menu. I have tried to use the "Developer" section in Word to add controllers such as drop-down menus, but I have not found a way to connect these to the document properties. I also tried using the FILLIN command to see if it could be used as shown below, just to test if I could set these properties from the document in this way.
{ SET bkmTitle { TITLE { FILLIN "Enter the document title" } } }
The problem with this implementation is that I don't want to press F9 in these fields when I start up a new project. I have not done much research into the startup prompt because I see this as the finishing touch, but if anyone has any advice on that too, it would be greatly appreciated.
I don't have any experience with macros/VBA, but I am open to learn if that is the easiest way to realize this project. Thank you kindly in advance.
From Charles Kenyon's links I solved my problem with Quick Parts. My solution was to extract the .docx file so I could access the .xml file within. Inside the .docx file (also works with the .dotm template file found in /AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Templates). Using 7-zip I opened the .dotm archive and went on word -> document.xml.
I made a template by editing the Normal.dotm (MS-Word template file). Here I added a Quick Part for "Category", then saved the template. I then opened the .xml file as mentioned above where I could edit this Quick Part for the template from textfield to a drop down menu (was not possible to change in Word to my knowledge).
To change it into other types than drop down menu, it is possible to add other control forms from Word by clicking on the "Developer" tab and selecting other controls such as "Checkbox". When you open the "document.xml" file afterwards, you can now see the schema for a checkbox.
When editing the "Document Properties" style Quick Parts, they are automatically linked to the document properties, which is what I wanted to learn how to do. It is probably possible to also use the document.xml file to explore how to link other fields to the document properties. I hope this answer might help others if they want to explore more options in MS-Word.
I am making a little program and I need to be able to remove the Lock attribute from all files (no matter the extension of those files) in the specified directory. I haven't find any way to do so on the web so far, so I really have no idea how to start a basic code for that job, so all I can really do is give you the elements of my Windows Form:
txtDirectory: This is where the directory is being
displayed/selected. All files in the displayed directory needs to be
getting the Lock attribute from them - see btnConfirm to know more.
btnSelectDirectory: This button opens the directory seletion
dialog. This section does not need any code - but feel free to add
code if you think it could improve my program.
btnConfirm: This
button is where, when clicked, all files in the specified directory
will be removed from the Lock attribute. This is what I really
need help with.
How can I do so?
How can I change a URL in joomla from :
http://sitename.com/components/original-component-name/rest
To:
http://sitename.com/components/any-component-alias/rest
While what you are asking to do is possible, it would be rather complicated to rename a component. As part of the renaming you would have to update the names of dozens if not hundreds of classes throughout every file of the component. Very likely to run into some bugs because of this.
The far easier prospect is to just avoid these types of urls in your site. Joomla will only fall back to that style of url if a menu item does not exist for the view. Because of that, you can make the url into this:
http://sitename.com/any-component-alias/
To do this, go into the menu manager and create a new menu item. If you don't want this as part of the main menu, you can create a new menu. (I typically have a menu called "Hidden" for menu items that I want aliased but don't actually link to throughout the site from a menu.) When creating the menu item, make sure the type matches the component and view. The alias will then be whatever is entered in the alias box just below the title.
The one issue you may run into with this is that a component may not have a menu type for a particular view. In that case, you you would need to add the necessary metadata.xml file to the view (which again would be much easier than renaming the component!). A good tutorial for that can be found here: http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_view_layout_configuration_parameters.
I am working on a solution to allow users to search for other users, since we use SharePoint 2010 and have access to the SharePoint people search it seems like an easy solution. For the most part it is close to what is needed but it appears to be missing a few things.
The biggest thing is the ability to search by office/location.
The search appears to return the office location but I can't seem to search on it.
I expected to be able to search on it by doing BaseOfficeLocation:"Office Location To Search For" since Department:"Department To Search for" appears to work.
I have tried Office and OfficeLocation but it just doesn't seem to work. I found a blog that said that it appeared as if this didn't work as expected but there were no more details.
Is there a setting that I need to enable or do I need to do some custom development here?
This might be a little late but here goes.
You basically need to add a metadata property that maps to the office (or whatever) field on the users profile. You then need to have that crawled. Finally you can add office to the search option. Below give you a quick overview of how to do it.
Adding a new managed metadata property
Go to Central Admin.
Go to manage service applications
Go into your search service application
On the left under "Queries and Results" go to "Managed Metadata Properties"
Click "New Managed Property"
Give it a name, I called mine "Office"
Click "add mapping" and select people
Select "People:Office(Text)" (this depends on which field on the profile you are using to put the office in)
Select "Include values from a single crawled property based on the order specified"
Click OK
Now run A FULL CRAWL. That's quite important. If it's not a full crawl it wont be picked up.
Wait for the full crawl to finish.
Adding the field to the search
You should now be able to search for Office:"office name"
That's not very useful to a user
What we want is to add it to the search options
Edit the page and go to the web part properties for the search box
Go to "Miscellaneous" and expand it
Open up "Properties" and copy out the XML. Here you now need to add in your new field.
It's going to look something like this:
<Property Name="Office" ManagedName="Office" ProfileURI="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:sharepoint:portal:profile:Office"/>
Add that in and then save it back into the web part
Click on search option, type in the office in the new office field and click search
BOOM!! Office searching.
Unless I'm missing something you're going to need to do this on both the initial people search page and the results page.
Here's a link that i based that all on.

Is there a way to upload all the opened documents to the current site without having to load em manually?
At the moment for each opened document I select one and I press Ctrl+shift+U but it's kinda lame if you edited more than 10-20 files
thanks
There is no native function however I have this simple cheat I use:
Open up the find and replace dialogue
Do a search for a string that appears in all the open documents. The page title usually has something useful. Make sure "all open documents" is selected. Click "Find All"
The panel appears that shows you all the instances of your search (should be all the open files)
Highlight all the file names in the search results panel, right click, and click "put"
It actually only takes a few seconds and saves you the pain of having to put each file individually. This is obviously for cases where simply highlighting the files and clicking the put button isn't feasible (e.g. files in multiple directories, etc).
In CS6 (not sure about older versions), when viewing the local site, right-click on the project's parent directory, hover on 'Select' and then 'Checked Out Files.'
This will highlight all the files you have checked out and allow you to check them in with one click.
Note: As Dreamweaver gathers all of the check in status information from the server, this can take quite a while if it is a large project. Only suggested for smaller projects, in which case it seems to work great!
Following the same process, you can also select 'Recently Modified', which only searches your local site and is much faster (but doesn't directly answer the check in/out part of your question).
I hope this helps!
I was a big fan of the Get Put All Extension, but it does not work on CS4 or CS5.
Unfortunately, upload all open is not built in. A long while ago I wrote a Dreamweaver extension called Get Put All, which allows for getting or putting of all open documents. It should still be available for sale (probably $5 or under) at the CommunityMX web site (down for me at the moment). I no longer contribute to CommunityMX, so I won't see any proceeds. While written a while ago, it should work fine in newer versions of Dreamweaver.
Just found out how to do it.
Use ctr+select all the files in the tree view under files and then right click on the selected entries and click "put"
SOLUTION:
1) Click on "Site"
2) "Manage Sites" (Select the site you want to manage)
3) "Edit"
4) "Remote Info"
5) And tick the checkbox "Automatically upload files to server on save"
(See where I am going here)
Have all the files you want to upload OPEN on Dreamweaver
6) Then "Find" a common code each document has
7) And "Replace ALL" with the EXACT same code
*Make sure "Find in: OPEN DOCUMENTS" is selected before you do the replacement
Once Dreamweaver has find and replaced the exact code - all documents will be unsaved at this point.
8) Just click "Save All" and voila!!! Now your CTRL+SHIFT+U fingers can chill the F out!
Hope this helps!
Oh, Remember to uncheck "Automatically upload files to server on save" afterwards or when not needed
PS: When you click "Save All" - you might get Dreamweaver saying "NOT RESPONDING". Just leave dreamweaver alone until it's done because it's uploading files at a rapid rate depending how fast your internet is :)
