Customizing the Dreamweaver CS5 workspace

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7f82a.h tml

Have you followed these instructions exactly as they are:
<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7f82a.h tml#WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7f70a>
The look and feel of your work in design view is derived from the styles you have used. Perhaps, you need to look at the font styles of your document. The instructions will create default fonts and size but as you may know, these can be over-ridden by the user using CSS.
Perhaps you should explicitly enter the font family and font size (if these are not in your styles) to have any visual impact in your design window. Aso make sure the fonts you use are already installed on your system, otherwise it would be a futile exercise.
Good luck.

I bought the Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows a few years ago. Now I have also a Mac Book pro, where I have to Install the Dreamweaver CS5. I have made the Download for Mac, but I can't Install it. When I push the button, I got an error message.

CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.

Where are the Dreamweaver CS5 "assets" folders?

I've had to clean reinstall Mavericks and am trying to find the assets (mainly snippet blocks of code to frequently reuse in website entries). I can't seem to find them in my Time Machine backup. What are the files named and where in what part of the directory would Dreamweaver save them?

Mine are in Macintosh HD > Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver ## > Configuration > Snippets
(Replace ## with your DW version, e.g., 'CS6')

Where is the Dreamweaver CS5 Help Menu Quick Search Field?

Adobe sucks! Why can't they build in the help field quick search like their other apps do? Frustrating!

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the advise. We both know how Adobe drops the ball all the time. Believe me I'm moving away as soon as possible. Just keep an eye on all the poor implementation I document as I go through this awful process of migrating with all the substandard software development.
Thanks again!

When are the Dreamweaver CS5 ACE exams going to be available?

It seems nobody knows the answer to this question. I spoke with several Adobe departments on the phone, as well as people at Pearson VUE (the company to which Adobe outsources its certification testing). If you know someone who might know the answer to this question, please let me know. Thank you very much in advance.

If you're planning on taking DW Exams, a firm understanding of X/HTML, CSS, Client-side and Server-side technologies would be very helpful. And knowing how to implement them from DW's interface would be mandatory. Beyond that, it's anybody's guess....
Good luck BTW,

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 workspace

Hi
I have just installed the Adobe CS4 Design Premium software on my Macbook Pro (OS X) and I have a problem or two with the Dreamweaver CS4 workspac:
1) When I have no file open, no matter which workspace I choose from the drop down list, I have a "see-through" area where files are generally displayed (see attached screen shot). This means I can see my desktop picture, or any other open files, in the background. This is very desturbing! If I click in that open space it also takes me out of Dreamweaver.
How can I get just a basic grey background in my workspace, instead of the silly see-though??
2) I have no close, minimize or maximize icons at the top left as I have in Photoshop or Lightroom!?!! Why is this and how can I get it there?
Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help!
Villiers Steyn

I have the same problem - just installed Dreamweaver yesterday on mac. Will be interested to see if anyone has a solution for this!

Adobe constantly pinging firewall after installing Dreamweaver CS5 Demo

I don't know for sure if this should be posted under Dreamweaver or just Adobe in general, but since I installed the Dreamweaver CS5 demo 2 days ago, July 15, 2010, my firewall has been filling up with icmp/ping requests from "ADOBE Systems Incorporated" (see log snippet below. Times are CST -6:00). This is happening whether I have Dreamweaver running or not. I noticed because I usually only get a daily email from my firewall, but lately I have been receiving multiple emails daily filled with blocked ping requests.
Can anyone confirm if this might be a "feature" of all their new online stuff or should I be worried? Can anyone else check their firewalls and see if it's happening to them?
Thanx in advance,
Mike

Dreamweaver automatically tries to connect to Adobe every time the Welcome screen is displayed. To prevent it from happening, select the "Don't show again" checkbox at the bottom left of the welcome screen. The reason it connects is to get the message that's displayed at the bottom right of the welcome screen.
The other reason your computer will be connecting to Adobe is the Adobe Updater will be trying to connect to the server to find if there are any updates to the installed programs. It normally runs once a day, but is probably retrying because your firewall won't let it through. I'm not sure if or how you can disable the updater. I find it quite useful, so have never tried to turn it off.

Dreamweaver CS5 doesn't open on Mac OS X

This problem has now been fixed by the Dreamweaver 11.0.2 updater. If you are still having problems, contact Adobe technical support.
Dreamweaver will not work on a user account that has File Vault enabled. This is a known restriction. To quote the Mac documentation:
Because your home folder is encrypted, some tasks that normally access
your home folder may be prevent
Thanks to Jim Bloom for providing the basic information for the following solution:
In Finder, navigate to <your username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS5.
With the Dreamweaver CS5 folder selected, choose File > Get Info (Cmd+I).
If necessary, expand Sharing and Permissions.
Click the lock icon at the bottom right of the panel to make changes. Enter your Mac password when prompted.
Click the plus button at the bottom left of the panel, select your name in the dialog box that opens, and click Select.
Change the privilege for your name to Read & Write.

I upgrades my mac operating system to OSX 10.9.4 and now my Dreamweaver CS5 won't work, it just quits unexpectedly. Please help.

Remove preferences on Mac OS
Quit Dreamweaver.
In the Finder, navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Navigate to /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences file:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file to, for example, Old Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs.
Try to re-create problem
After you have removed your existing preferences, restart Dreamweaver. The application creates new preferences files, folders, and registry entries, as applicable, using the default settings.
Then try to re-create the problem that you had before.
If the problem was resolved, then damaged preferences was the cause.
If the problem persists, then the preferences are not the cause and you can replace the original preferences.
To replace the original preferences:
Quit dreamweaver.
Delete the new preferences folder and restore the original name of the previous folder.

Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 Updater

I naively picked the Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 update this morning via Adobe Updated. This update wiped out the usernames and passwords for all of my dreamweaver sites. Can recover from this but what a nuisance!!!! Perhaps it was necessary, but please in the future give me a warning when you're going to wipe out my site data!!! Upgrading from CS3 to CS4 and from CS4 to CS5 didn't do this. I certainly did expect a dot release to do so.
Even the updates notes on http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dwcs51104 are totally inadequate and don't even mention it.
Well, back to a task (updating all my site setups) that hadn't planned to do today. What a waste.

MLSCHW,
Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy on the website. We are getting that updated.
As for the updater reporting that 11.0.3 is still available, this is definitely not occurring on any of the machines I tested on, but clearly is an issue for some.
Ultimately, you will not be installing the 11.0.3 update since you have the later update already installed. (The installation of 11.0.3 should fail when trying to install on top of build 4993.)
Would it be possible to connect with you to help resolve the issue?
If so, send me a PM with your contact info (e.g. e-mail address and/or phone number) and a good time to contact you (including time zone).

Hi,
I tried to install the HTML5 and got the following message.
"Extention can not be installed. It requires Dreamweaver Version in range of inclusively between 11 & 14."
I don't know what that means or how to fix it.
Any suggestions?

Dreamweaver cs5.5 workspace layout not correct

I have recently gotten Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 for my online courses and for manipulation of my website, and it does not seem to have the correct workspace layout as shown in most all tutorials in its use. An example of what I mean:
This is the proper setup from what I have seen but this
Is what mine looks like, and I do not know how to get the setup from the first screenshot for my Dreamweaver.... Any help would be golden, and thanks in advance!!

Hi
The screen you are seeing is called the 'Welcome screen' and is the fist screen that DW shows when it opens. The top screen is with a document open.
Can I suggest that you read through the pdf 'manual' or a good introductory book for DW before proceeding further, otherwise you will find DW very difficult to use/learn.

Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998 - 1018) about adding dynamic data to your page

Hallo,
I did Tutorial: Displaying Database Info in the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
My problem is with "Editing a Recordset and Linking to a Detail Page" (which starts at pg 1002:
I did this exercise ,over 5 times nowe, but every time with "Building the Detailed Product Page" at pg 1007, I get a bad result.
I only get one page (the default one with productID = 1) for every link on the indexpage.
In the adressbar (Live View) I see the right adress: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all productID's only the detailspage for productID are shown.
There is also a message: Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘productID’ - assumed '‘productID’' in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php on line 34
But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.
Here is the code lines 33 -48: is is about the second line:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsDetails = sprintf("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products.`description`, products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, vendors WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s ", GetSQLValueString($varProduct_rsDetails, "int"));
$rsDetails = mysql_query($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDetails);
$totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows($rsDetails);
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC";
$rsCategories = mysql_query($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
$totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
?>
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Kind regards, Ans Hekerman

I can manually type in double brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET["productID"])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET["productID"];
this is accepted; no syntax-error report.
I can manually type in single brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET['productID'])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET['productID'];
this is also accepted; no syntax-error report.
Dreamweaver itself made this code:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
this was not OK; there was a syntax-error report.
But strange enough, when I do paste this now from here, it is accepted.
So the problem has been, that DW created code that gave a syntax error.
I could repair it by replacing the single qoutes of DW, by typing single quotes in DW manually, or by typing in in DW manually double qoutes!!!
So maybe everybode was right!!!
But is was a very bad problem; maybe a "bug" of the program?
I repeated this about 10 times before I got the solution frome this Forum.
