I'll agree with Toby, for the same reasons. The problem is a good one, and it boils down to discipline on the designers. You can have a share on a server for them to work with if you want daily backups, but I would use it as a normal mapping for them to work with their own work and use tortoise

Hi Charlie, thanks for that mate. All I had to do was ignore the fact it returned "connection failure", I have no idea why it returns "connection failure", but I am just writing the file to disk and it works. Cheers PS. yes I was using getAsBinary On 10/13/07, Charlie Arehart (lists account) <

Andrea, I'd recommend against the shared repository - I went that way with a team a few years ago and it was very painful. You have the difficulties of user tracking etc, and when you start using tags and branches properly everything goes to hell, but primarily we found using the dev server locat

Andrew... That's exactly what I'm actually trying to achieve with solution 3... :) I just do not want designers to have the need to install CF and apache on their machines... designers will over-kill me ! .. that's why in solution 3 they will work directly on the server (on a shared folder) (comm

Maven, would be overkill. Maven's strength is in repository and library dependence, but having said that if anyone is using it in a CF environment it would be good to know. As far as source control goes, a designers work should have revision as well. How this fits into your scheme is up to you,

I'd have to agree. I've tried it a number of different ways, and the only really feasible option is to make designers use source control. On both mac and windows there are very easy to use ways to tie in source control through your explorer windows or into dreamweaver etc etc but if you really wa

IMO, the age of designers who only do photoshop or html is long gone... maybe they could be trained to write their presentation layer stuff as coldfusion pages and/or custom tags? That aside, if you think option 3 will break your post-commit scripts, why not use maven instead of ant, and have

2007-10-14 Thread Andrea
I have currently installed subversion on our server and trying to find out the best solution for our developers and designer. The idea is to have - each developer working locally on a "local.xxx.dev" and committing to the svn xxx repo. Each dev will be using coldfusion developer ed + local apac
