- if page is PENDING and your not logged in as someone with admin access for at least one webservice, you'll get a 404, page cannot be found error. this is by design. we don't publish the existence of PENDING pages. Pending pages are also a way to ensure only admins can see the content if you don't want to wrap you content in the security wrapper.
- overview: laying out navigation, begin with the end in mind. order from top down.
- links - full URL vs short internal 'dynamic' name

- setup a calendar in outlook(exchange): folders, public folders, create new, calendar xstandard placeholders, calender or event, edit custom tag and tell it the location of the calendar.
- when choosing a name for a resource, do NOT include the host name like 'uccsda.org test page' at render, the uccsda.org is stripped out when querying the database.
- links: difference between to an external website, an internal page, an internal resource (file), and a mailto: email link. or self referencing
<a id="top">

- lightbox: create a thumbnail or link, give it a link destination to the parent graphic, edit the link properties, the relationship should be to lightbox or to lightbox[group] where group binds images on the same page together during the presentation. the description (title) attribute becomes the caption. x closes, n next, p previous during view. javascript required.more info
- addrotator: Insert an addrotator placeholder and edit the attributes to include the _frames you want, they will be sorted alphabetically descending based on framename and the contents drawn on demand for the placeholder.
OR use the original method: upload a .txt file with each section of the ticker separated into divs with class="message" these messages can contain text and valid xhtml (the entire text page must be <html><body> ... </body></html> formed so some JS engines don't freak out and complain ) insert javascript into your page //<![CDATA[ new ajax_ticker("/files/its/ajaxtickercontent.txt", "ajaxticker1", "ajaxtickerclass", 3500, "fade") //]]> source of content, css style, css class, ms between transitions, optional "fade" effect Javascript required on client to see content, if JS disabled then content is ABSENT - review how the XML RSS Feeds work and why webpage descriptions are so important.
