BULK Change of CMSample code doesn't write proper value to file (245428)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Site Server 3.0
This article was previously published under Q245428

SYMPTOMS

Making a Bulk edit to a property within the CMSample Web Page installed through Site Server 3.0 does not write the name of the MetaTag properly to the file.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Select the SS3 HTML Web Admin.
  2. Choose Publishing and then select Content Management.
  3. Log into the Intranet membership instance (this is where the cmsample is stored).
  4. Select the cmsample and then click Properties.
  5. Select the Content link.
  6. Filter and submit your request(Use Job Postings as an example).
  7. Select more than one file and click Properties. The bulk properties change page will appear.
  8. Select properties, for example, "Job Type".
  9. Select a new value (example select Executive) and click Submit.
  10. Exit out of the HTML Web Admin.
Find the files you just modified and open the files in Notepad (or another editor) to see the current meta tag. It should look like the following: 
<meta name="jobtype" content="Executive">

RESOLUTION

Modify the CMBulk.ASP page in the following directory: 
 \SiteServer\Admin\Publishing directory
Look for the following line: 
g_strNewValue = Request.Form("Value")
Change the line to read as follows: 
g_strNewValue = "\SampleSite\" & Request.Form("Property") & "\" & Request.Form("Value")
