Can't edit page because it wasn't found on website...

[zoser]

I receive the error 'an unknown error occurred in Contribute file state
manager' whenever I am publishing a new page that I created from a dreamweaver
template. The page is created even though the error occurred but right after
the page is published I receive "You can't edit theis page because it wasn't
found on the website or it is a directory listing". I double checked the
directory structure and the new page was created, but I can not edit it through
Contribute.

Any one got any ideas?

I am experiencing the axact same issue. If Adobe wants this product to be used
more they need to fosu on these issues because we cant implement and deploy a
CMS to our clients if we know its going to fail in production. Very annoying
and it makes us look as if we are choosing untested solutions for our clients!

Specifically, Adobe needs to fix the way Contribute deals with dynamic code,
specifically ColdFusion in this case.

Upon further examination my issue seems to be directly related to having dynamic cfinclude template paths. Example:

<cfinclude template="#request.myTemplatePath#/thisDirectory/thisFile.cfm" />

We are using cfincludes too. I have tried using a custom tag instead of the
cfinclude but still receive the error about the file state manager.

Is this, <cfinclude
template="#request.myTemplatePath#/thisDirectory/thisFile.cfm" /> , how you
changed your include to make it work or is this what was causing it not to?

Thats the cause. I had to go in and manually set the paths. unfortunate. hopefully future versions of Contribute will address some of the major flaws of integration with application code.

ehk! what a pain in the a**!

I tested the first version of Contribute and had the same problem with
cfincludes. I was hoping that would be fixed by now. You would think that given
that CF and Contribute are made by the same vendor they would integrate better
than they do. I had better luck editing an ASP site in Contribute than I did
with our CF site.

Fooey!

Ya, totally agree. Its compatibility with PHP blows though. Im hoping all this
is just because the product is still in its infancy although its hard to get a
client to swallow sometimes when other solutions dont have these issues. Its
had me considering alternative solutions a few times.
