Duplicate key error

It looks like I created a duplicate key for the Volunteers Book page.  Check it out - let me know if you see the error that I did.

Yep dupe... but I can tell you why...

Ross,

I had created a single place holder page and then linked all the menu items to it to show that we don't have that page yet.

My intent was to add new pages one by one and then edit the menu setting so point to the new page instead of the placeholder.

It looks like you simply edited the placeholder so now all the menu entries point to the placeholder (now: Volunteers!) page.

To be fair, I should have told you that this was how it was setup.   My bad!

Anyway, I've created a new volunteers page copying your content and have edited the Volunteers menu item to point to it.

(NOTE: it looks like you didn't select create new revision when you did the edit.  You might want to in the future so we can simply revert to prior content should we ever need.)

I'm going to now put placeholder content back into the placeholder page...  This will have all the non-correct menu links pointing to the "I'm not here yet" page.

This all make sense?

oops!

ok!  Now I see...  Hopefully lessons learned.  I see you also wrote some how to pages on the subject.

.... (time elapses...)

OK!!  I built a page for the Championship information.  I copy pasted the content of the 2008 Champs page onto a new page, the located the page at "content/Championship".  I then edited the menu item, and pointed the menu item to "content/Championship" and low and behold, it works!  Not only that, but clicking on the link for "Sponsors" still gets me to the "page-not-yet-here" page! 

Good handbook entry, Stephen! 

So, I also copied links from the 2008 champs page for Event Registration, Directions and Parking, etc, etc.  I want to make the new site "self contained", but the links are point to the old site. So I...

"Created a new Book" on the Champs page

I then added a page titled "ChampsEventRegistration", and linked it to the new book.  So now the page shows the new link in the book....

or....er....it did...but something went wrong...bug?  The book disappeared!  I had created a book called "Colorado FLL Championship" - using the <create a new book> link on the Book Outline section of the page, then linked the ChampsEventRegistration page to the book.  But going back to edit, that book wasn't there on the list any more.  So then I took the ChampEventRegistration page out of the book, confirmed the warning, and saved it.  Now the CER book page is there, but I can't find an edit function for the original Champs page, to set up the book again...hmmm...

Hacking the URL, I can find the Champs page.  Now, however, looking at the book outline, it tells me that the "Champs" page is the top level page for the "Introduction to Postions" book....hmmm...

Hacking some more...I will remove the Champs page from the ITP book....

Added the ITP back as it's own top level book...

Removed the scheduling functions for the page...

Championships book (top) still does not exist...

Oh well...TDFN (too difficult for now) will try again later..

the good and the bad...

Ross,

Glad the HOWTO worked!

Regarding the "lost" pages...   always head to (a) recent posts, and/or (b) "My Workspaces".  If you left the new content you added with you as the author then they will always show up in "My workspaces"...   which is why I really like this new feature.

Regarding the content not showing up where you think it should...  it is likely this was simply an inadvertant not setting of some of the publishing options... I'm thinking of two more likely (1) the position in the book outline (which I think you did check) and (2) the visibility (belongs in group or groups (use control-key mouse click to add more than one group our to remove last group when unhiliting groups)

This help?

Overall, it sounds like you're picking this up quite quickly.  Good job!

lost...not the pages, me!

maybe we can meet again when you return.  In the mean-time, I'll do some administrative activities - budget planning, schedule planning, recruiting...I'll be looking for you when you return!
Thx, REP
