Finding content in MSCMS?????
|

| Okay,
I placed a file in the CMS about a month ago.
It's a flash file and I see it still being used on the live site. Now I need
to update that file. I've spent the last 45 minutes trying to find the file
in the Resource Manager. I know the name and the pages that refer to it but
there seems to be no mechanism in the MS CMS to find resources. Other than
clicking on every part of the tree in the resource site map, which I've done
and still can't find the file. With most websites you can view the source and
find the reference to any file that makes up the web page. When I view source
on our live site for the file I need to find I get this kind of coded mess
that is zero help.
<EMBED
src="/NR/rdonlyres/225003D4-B417-48DD-BCCA-123936B9B677/0/prov_auth_tools.swf"
Okay so I think well maybe if I go to the page and edit that page in the web
author CMS GUI I'll be able to learn where the flash lives in the CMS. Nope
wrong again. Just the name of the file "prov_auth_tools.swf" is shown in the
place holder. I feel like this can't really be a content management system. I
mean if I there is no way to find the content how can I manage it? On a
slightly related note it's also very frustrating that I can't find very basic
information such as, what content items where published live from June 10th -
June 25. Who published what during that time period? Also there is no way to
find out other basic information such as how many pages in the CMS point to a
given page? Last gripe (enhancement suggestion) is that if I edit a page and
save it but don't publish then I decide I want to back out of that edit there
is no "revert" feature or "undo" I think a revert feature is needed when
dealing with past versions.
Am I missing some philisophical aspect of the CMS where the above items I
mention are somehow not important or needed.
Any help, hints, or clues appreciated, especially on finding the content in
the content management system.
Thanks

| Hi Ninerfan,
write a script that does a GetByGuid with the GUID below:
Resource rs =
CmsHttpContext.Current.GetByGuid("{"+225003D4-B417-48DD-BCCA-123936B9B677+"}")
as Resource;
string path = rs.Path;
Cheers,
Stefan
