Today I’ve found that old trick with extensions.checkCompatibility doesn’t work with Firefox 3.6b3 anymore – compatibility check is still enabled.
Now for FireFox 3.6b3 and above, you’ll have to set version specific key in about:config that looks like this:
extensions.checkCompatibility.3.6b = false
From the day one of my experience with SPS 2003 I had one big problem – migration of subsites from one place to another. And here is solution that works.
“there’s a nice simple way to do this.” It is a 3 step process… assuming you have Front Page 2003 and you are not trying to move something from under a “My Site”.
1) Open front page 2003 and point it to the site that you wish to backup and move (we’ll call this your “source” site).
1a.) Open FrontPage: File> Open Site (you will be looking at a list of folders and templates with a deafult.aspx somewhere in the list).
1b.) Tools> Server> Backup Web Site
1c.) You can choose to simply backup this site, or to backup all sub-sites as well (this backup does include content as well)2) On the destination server you need to go create a site with the same name as your source site.
2a.) Navigate to the place on your portal where you want to create this site
2b.) Create a new site, but DO NOT apply a template. This site must have the same name as the original source site.
2c.) When you are prompted for the template simply close the browser.3) Open up front page 2003 and this time point it at the new site you just created on your destination box. Then restore the site (you did save it someplace convenient, right?)
3a.) Open FrontPage: File> Open Site (this will look empty compared to the site you saved just a few minutes ago)
3b.) Tools> Server> Restore Web Site (You will need that backup file here)
3c.) Ta Da! You are done!Note: This does NOT make a full fidelity backup. Which means that any security that you had set up for the source file does not exist after importing to the new destination. You will have to re-setup security. Other than that, it’s good to go.
If you want a full fidelity backup, that is a lot more complex and requires a lot of command-line processing. Not eactly “a nice simple [method]”
Today, at one of episodes TFTTF I’ve heard one great idea – if you’re shooting RAW and using histograms to judge your work – set your picture style to Neutral (Canon users). Nikon should have something similar. This will give you more faithful picture and histogram. This is because source for histograms is JPEGs and this doesn’t matter you shooting RAW or not. “Standard” picture style will give you more contrasty picture with boosted colors and not so correct histogram and preview.
P.S. Don’t forget to set clock in your camera to winter time!
