Changing the Contribute connection string name
When you setup a website to be managed by Contribute, the name that shows up in the client for the connection description is generated from the text of the title tag of the index page of the website.
For setups where you are only managing a single site, this may not matter, but if you have a system where you use a development server and a production server, you may want the connection string to depict which server the user is editing and publishing to.
In order to change the text of the description you have to alter some text in a few files on the CPS management server.
CPS Startup Script
At VSU, we are implementing the Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Contribute Publishing Server and CMS.
This is a two-piece system that involves a client-side component (Contribute) and a server-side component (CPS).
We are running this on a Linux server, so we needed an easy way to start the service up should a system reboot occur.
Now Macromedia included a very simple shell script that made a call the included OEM Jrun binary to start the server. The only problem is that it had no facility to plugin to the chkconfig tool that can be used to manage services in the various runlevels.
Enable Verbose Logging on Contribute Publishing Server
In the process of troubleshooting the LDAP user problems I was experiencing I found that by default the logging of info and debug messages is turned off by default for the OEM jrun install that is part of Contribute Publishing Server 3.11.
In order to enable these logging levels you have to edit the sevrer configuration xml file. This file should be located in the configuration directory of your jrun4 server's WEB-INF folder.
The name of the file is:
ckm.xml
Open this file in your favorite editor and look for the following section:
<logger_settings>
Sort the Role Listing in the Contribute Client
One of the annoyances I have found with the Contribute Client is that in the Administration interface section, when adding a user, the menu of roles is not sorted for you. The list that appears when you reassign a user or when you create a new role, is sorted for you.
Each time that a new role is added, the client updates the hub file, adding the new role to the end of the list.
Updating to Contribute 4.x breaks the cthub XML
