Re: RedDot gripes
Thanks, and thanks for the blog. There is nothing wrong with being critical of reddot, in fact it's refreshing to hear that others are having similar frustrations. Also, too many people are too willing to accept bad and bloated software design, especially with large enterprise apps. We should expect more. Sure you figure it out after a year or two, but in my world, software that takes a year or two to learn well enough to properly manage has some interface, engineering and documentation problems, and ain't nothing wrong with talking about them! It could be said it takes less time to learn html. That said, I am also currently enjoying RedDot's many benefits, features and flexibility, along with it's frustrations. I look forward to reading your blog. -Dino On Nov 24, 3:47 pm, Jonathan Frazier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry: as mentioned in the thread, it was changed to: > > http://reddotmusings.blogspot.com/ > > in order to convey a less-biased outlook. > > ~ Jonathan > > On Nov 24, 7:24 pm, dino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hey, the blog link doesn't seem to work, how do I see your blog? > > > On Nov 19, 11:29 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I'm trying to publicise some bugs, design flaws, and usability issues > > > relating to RedDot, for those who might be evaluating it.

Um, that's not what a "standards compliant" page looks like...
We're on the final straight towards publishing our first site using RedDot, and we're looking at the many tricks and workarounds they've included in the software to make it publish something resembling standards-compliant pages. All our code is of course compliant without any of this tomfoolery, but just to be sure we switched on the XHTML compliance check for our project variant, uploaded the tidyconfig.txt and HTMLConvertTable.txt, and ran a publish. Guess what? Our stylesheets are being published with XHTML headers. Now correct me here if I'm going astray: we have a content class with only the css in it, plus image placeholders for background graphics etc. We've created and connected a 'page' from that content class and linked it to the css 'anchor' placeholder in the head of our foundation template where the http://groups.google.com/group/RedDot-CMS-Users?hl=en -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Re: IDs of pages in list
Hi, Just create the placeholder in pages contained in your list. It's the same way to process as for any placeholder. Create inf_page_id in child template, It will appear in your parent page.

Re: IDs of pages in list
Did you create the inf_page_id element in the class that you are connecting to the list as well? Otherwise there's no element to transfer through the list. (has to be defined in the class containing the list and in the class whose instances are connected to the list. Wayne.

IDs of pages in list
Hi, How do I get the ID of a page in a list? I thought it was simple: <%inf_page_id%> but that just gives the ID of the page the list is *contained* within.

Adam, Thanks for the suggestions. Do you have any pointers to the documentation about 'render tags'?

Re: 'Last 5 updates' component
Hi Anthony, Fair enough -- I suppose it depends what your spec said. Mine was for a "What's New?" section on the front page of the intranet site, so that people could see what new pages had been added, and click the links to go direct to the new page. Obviously if it wasn't a 'real' page that had been added, the user would get a 404 so that was no good in my case. Hopefully Brett doesn't need to go to the same lengths that I did :o) All the best, Simon.
