Microsoft Content Management Server - CMS Links not managed inside XML Placeholder

CMS Links not managed inside XML Placeholder

Dominik

2004-10-25, 5:49 pm

Hello,

we encounter a strange thing in our CMS SP1a installation. We use a XML
Placeholder. If an editor enters internal links, MCMS does not transfer them
into internal CMS links and leaves them in clear text values (results in
broken links after move of pages). If I do the same as admin or as
channelmanager, the links are transferred into CMS links perfectly. Is there
something I do not get? ManageCMSlinks in the placeholder definition is
enabled and the links are stored inside "".

Thanks a lot,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,

this can happen if the author does not have rights on the destination
channel where the links point to.
Is this the case?

Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi Stefan,

He has at least subscriber rights on the channel/posting. However as far as
I remember he had authoring rights on the target channel / posting, too.
Does he have to have authoring rights on the destination channel?

Thanks a lot,
Cheers,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,

not by design - but there might be a bug.
Please check if the problem is solved if the user is an author in the
destination channel.
Also verify if the SAME link(!) works for administrators - just to be
sure.

Cheers,
Stefan.

We just checked it again. The author has rights on the destination link, too
(as subscriber and author). The link stayed in clear url and was not
translated.

I did the following then: As admin i went to the same page, went to edit,
just saved and exited without changing anything and the link was translated
in internal cms url. Any clue?

Thanks a lot,
Dominik

To help me with error search: What can cause this problem besides the issues
with having rights on the destination channel? Are there any common things
that can cause such a behaviour?

Thanks a lot,
Dominik

Just another info: We cant reproduce this behaviour on the development
stations. It seems it only occurs on our productive server. We there get very
often the "overlapped save" issue. Could this cause the link problem, too?

Hi Stefan,

that seems to be a pretty hot hint. It is exactly the problem we encounter.
We will try to get the hotfix installed and see what happens.

Thanks a lot!

Update: We applied the hotfix to our servers and it seems it solved the
problem

Very happy about that! However we will test further on...

Thanks a lot for your great support,
Dominik
