On the MCMS 2002 CD there is an ASP.NET C# sample site called WoodgroveNet. Is there also a Visual Basic .NET or ASP version available?

Topic: Broken references
I installed the Woodgrove Bank sample but my project won't compile in Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET. After a little investigation, I found that the references on the MCMS DLLs are broken. How did this happen?
Answer
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET projects use an XML file to store the location of references. Generally the references can be found under "Program Files/Microsoft Content Management Server" but there are cases where this isn't true.
For example, on non-English systems there is no "Program Files" directory and therefore the references are broken.
To correct the references
1. In Microsoft Visual Studio .NET open the WoodgroveNet project.
2. In the Solution Explorer expand the References section.
3. Right click on any DLL whose reference is broken and select Delete on the popup menu.
4. Right Click on the References and select Add Reference...from the popup menu.
5. Select the Browse button in the Add References dialog box.
6. Browse to the MCMS installation folder and under that \Server\bin folder.
7. Select the DLL whose reference is to be added to the project, then select Open button.
8. In the Add Reference... dialog box, select OK.

Topic: Credentials are not accepted when importing the Woodgrove sample site on Windows XP
The credentials are not accepted when trying to import the Woodgrove sample site into the MCMS repository on Microsoft Windows XP.
Answer
This is a problem with the default Windows XP security policy.
Go to your Local Computer Policy, click Computer Configuration, then Windows Settings, then Security Settings, then Local Policy, then Security Options.
Change the "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts" setting to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves".

Topic: Homeport instead of MCMS cover page
I created a new channel and navigated to it using http://localhost/channelname. All I get is an MCMS presentation page. There is no option to switch to edit mode.
Answer
The default setting (once you have installed the Woodgrove ASP.Net sample) is for the root channel to redirect to the MCMS Homeport page. You will need to edit your channel properties in the Site Manager.
To Modify your Channel Rendering property in Site Manager:
1. In Site Manager, click on Channels in the far left pane.
2. In the middle pane right click Channels then select Properties in the menu.
3. In the Publishing tab click the Select button in the Channel Rendering section.
4. Clear the Script URL entry. This will direct your browser to the MCMS cover page when the channel is empty.

Topic: Left navigation highlight
The left navigation console in WoodgroveNet (About Us) is constantly highlighted regardless of what page is currently being viewed. How can I change this?
Answer
This is an issue with the Microsoft® Internet Explorer Webcontrols 'Treeview' control. You can manually alter the TreeView.htc file to change this behavior. We did not make the change as it would affect all instances of the tree control on your machine.
You can find more information about the Treecontrol Webcontrol on Microsoft's Microsoft MSDN® Web site.

Topic: Project error
Why is it that if the sample site is installed to a directory that is different from the default, you get an error when opening the WoodgroveNet project in Microsoft® Visual Studio® .NET.
Answer
The Microsoft Visual Studio .NET solution for WoodgroveNet (woodgrovenet.sln) expects that the virtual directory created for WoodgroveNet be mapped to the default path for the MCMS install.
If your sample site was installed to any directory that is not the default, you must modify your virtual directories "Local Path" setting. You will also need to modify the path property for the MCMSWebControlLibrary.
To Modify your MCMS Sample Site virtual directory Settings:
- In the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) snap-in, right click on WoodgroveNet.
- Select Properties in the menu
- In the Virtual Directory tab modify the Local Path setting so that it points to the path that you installed WoodgroveNet
To Modify the Path property for the MCMSWebControlLibrary Reference:
- Microsoft Visual Studio .NET open the WoodgroveNet project
- In the Solution Explorer expand the References section
- Right click on MCMSWebControlLibrary and select Delete from the popup menu
- Right click on References and select Add Reference from the popup menu
- Select the Browse button in the Add References dialog box
- Select \Sample Data\WoodgroveNet\bin\McmsWebControlLibrary.dll then select the Open button
- In the Add Reference dialog box, select OK

Topic: Roll back when installing Woodgrove sample site
At the end of the Woodgove sample site installation process, the setup rolls back for some unknown reason. The following event is getting added to my event log:
Event Type: Information
Event Source: MsiInstaller
Event Category: None
Event ID: 11708
Date: 10/20/2003
Time: 1:51:56 PM
User: N/A
Computer: TIMOL-DEV
Description:
Product: Microsoft Content Management Server Sample Data -- Installation operation failed.
Any idea what might have happened?
Answer
This can happen when you install the sample site on a different Web site as the Default Web Site. This is not officially supported. Also ensure that you did not rename the Default Web Site to another name.
The workaround is to copy the files from another machine onto <CMS_Root>\Sample Data\ manually, and then manually create the web application mapping. The files under the <Cms_Root>\Sample Data\ hierarchy are basically Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET project files.
The next step is to create a web application named "WoodgroveNet" (i.e. the original MCMS template project name) under the root of the Web site where MCMS is installed and map it to <Cms_Root>\Sample Data\WoodgroveNet\.
Then create a virtual directory named "CMS" and map it to: <Cms_Root>\Server\IIS_CMS\ (under the root of the WoodgroveNet web application). This "CMS" virtual directory (ensure that it is not a web application) is required. Without it, you will have problems switching to edit mode using Web Author.
After this has done, you should be able to browse the WoodgroveNet sample site as http://<ServerName>/WoodgroveNet.

Topic: Tree Control Styles
How do you change the color of the navigation/treenode links? I have tried modifying every instance of the default woodgrove #336633 color and it has no effect. I have modified the .css file as well as the mcmsnavigationcontrol.cs file. I have even done a search and there are no more references to the #336633 color anywhere! Where is the web application pulling this color from? I want to be rid of this green woodgrove color, please help!
Answer
Woodgrove uses the IE Webcontrols tree control. It uses HTC files.
Look here for the readme: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Internet Explorer WebControls
snippet....
4. Create the following directories below the Root Web:
5. Copy the HTC files (Behaviors) to the "webctrl_client\1_0\" folder
below the Root Web folder.
6. Copy the images to the following paths:
Right-to-left images for the TreeView:
"webctrl_client\1_0\treeimages\rtl"

Topic: Woodgove and CMS 2002 SP1a
Hi everyone, I have installed MCMS 2002 with SP1a. I have installed Content Server, Site Manager and Site Stager and every thing seems O.K. I would like to install the Woodgrove sample site. The Content Management Server 2002 Installation Guide says:
To install the WoodgroveNet sample site
- On the MCMS computer, insert the MCMS 2002 CD into the CD-ROM drive.
- On the Microsoft® Content Management Server splash screen, click Install Components, then click Install Sample Site.
But I don't have the option Install Sample Site. What am I missing?
Answer
MCMS 2002 SP1a does not ship with the Woodgroove sample site installation. You have two options:
1. Install the Woodgroove sample site from the MCMS 2002 RTM CD by running the following MSI package file:
\SampleSite\Microsoft Content Management Server Sample Data.msi
2. Download the sample from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/a/1/aa121cac-2a05-4602-8416-233e7b6779ca/WoodgroveNet.zip

Topic: Woodgrove Installation hangs
When I try to to import the MCMS Sample Data Installation (WoodGroveNet) the installation process hangs indefinitely.
What might cause this?
Answer
This can happen when Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Analyzer is turned on under Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC), Tracing
Alternatively you can check if the following registry key is set to 1 in the current user profile:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC]
"Vista"="1"
To resolve this stop Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Analyzer using the button in Administrative Tools, Data Sources (ODBC), Tracing tab.
Alternatively you can resolve it by setting the above registry key value to “0”

Topic: WoodgroveInternational sample site install does not import sample data
I installed the WoodgroveInternational demo site, but cannot figure out where the sample data is. I expected to see something to allow me to import sample data into my MCMS repository, but the install was basically silent with few options. Am I missing something?
Answer
The data gets imported only if you start the installation by clicking Setup.Exe, not the *.msi file.
