BUG: Some Subs.adm Fields Are Not Viewable In Poledit

ID: Q187552

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you view the Subs.adm template in the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK) using Poledit, the Subs.adm template does not display the last few parameters correctly. The text describing the parameters is too long and extends beyond the right side of the Poledit dialog box so that the edit boxes for the fields do not display.

CAUSE

RESOLUTION

Cut and paste the following ADM script file into notepad and save as Subs.adm:

; subs.adm ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; CLASS USER ;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

IEAK_Title=Subscriptions IEAK_DescriptionTitle=Subscription Settings IEAK_Description1=The restrictions on these subscription settings allow you to control the amount of information downloaded. These settings allow you to restrict bandwidth in a number of ways. You may want to consider using these settings if you are concerned about server load. IEAK_Description2=Maximum site subscription crawl depth controls how many levels the webcasting update utility will search for new information. This setting should be used carefully as a high setting could make the amount of information being downloaded exponentially large.
