GoLive CS2/Version Cue site

Connecting to a Version Cue site

If a user has already had a GoLive Version Cue site set up on her computer at some point, she should simply choose the *.site file from the File -> Open Recent... menu.

Setting up a new Version Cue site

To set up a Version Cue site for the first time, a GTS employee (or ambitious user) should take the following steps:

1. If this is the first time that this installation of the Creative Suite has connected to the Version Cue, perform the following steps, otherwise skip to step 2:
   1. Open Adobe Bridge.
   2. In Bridge, select Version Cue > Connect To... from the Tools menu.
   3. In the popup, type versioncue.gac.edu and press OK.
   4. Double-click on the item labeled versioncue.
   5. You should be prompted for your Version Cue username and password. Note that this is different than your e-mail password. Type your Version Cue username and password into this dialog and continue. If you do not have a Version Cue password, contact Web Services to have one assigned to you.
   6. Feel free to close Bridge at any time.
2. In GoLive, choose Connect to Version Cue from the File menu.
3. In the window that comes up, there should be an item called versioncue with a plus or minus sign next to it. If there is a plus sign, click on it to view the projects that are available to you. You should be prompted for your Version Cue username and password. Note that this is different than your e-mail password.
4. After entering your Version Cue username and password, you should see a listing of the projects that are available to you. Select the one that you would like to work on and click OK.
5. GoLive will now synchronize the files that are located on your computer with the files that are stored in Version Cue. A window will display a list of files that GoLive will download. Click OK when you are comfortable.
6. After GoLive has completed downloading all of the files in the site you selected, you will be ready to start working.

Connecting to the publish server

If you are using a GoLive Version Cue site and need to connect to the publish server, follow these steps:

1. Click on "Site" in the menu bar.
2. Click on "Settings" at the bottom of the site menu.
3. 

   Site settings window
   This will bring up the site settings window that is divided into a left and right side. In the left side, make sure that "Publish Server" is selected.
4. On the right side of the site settings window, there is a box near the top that may be empty. At the bottom of that box there are four icons. Click on the third icon from the left (it looks like a new document icon).
5. If you are using the Version Cue, you will be prompted to mark the Publish Server settings in use. Choose "Yes." This will create a new server configuration.
6. The Nickname field should appropriately describe your connection type. For example, you could use your department's name, "�鶹��Ƶ," or "�鶹��Ƶ FTP."
7. The Protocol field must be set to ftp.
8. The Server field must be "ftp.gac.edu".
9. The Directory field must start with "/cis/www/" and be followed by the directory that your website is on the server. So, for example, if the URL of your website is "" then your Directory field should be "/cis/www/oncampus/arboretum/".
10. Make sure that the Username and Password fields are blank and that the checkbox next to "Save" is unchecked.
11. Click OK.

Synchronizing

Once your server settings are complete, if you are using the Version Cue you should synchronize with the version control system by clicking on the double arrow icon in the toolbar so that others editing the site can use the same server settings.

Please note that there are two double arrow icons in the toolbar. The sixth from the right will synchronize with the version control system while the eleventh from the left will synchronize with the FTP server.

Username and Password

When you publish your files, you will be prompted for a username and password. Here, you will need to use your �鶹��Ƶ e-mail username and password.

Downloading an individual file from the publish server

When working in your GoLive Version Cue site, to download an individual file from the publish server, take the following steps:

1. Right click (command+click on a Mac) on the file you would like to download.
2. Click on Publish Server > Download Selection.
