A novice with Dreamweaver CS6 trial

Hello Experts:
Is it practical to contemplate connecting my Trial DW CS6 to an existing wordpress site, pulling down a local copy of the site, editing it in dreamweaver (add a page, some images, captions), and tem loading it back up to the web server where it once again looks like wordpress? I have reached the extent of my danger limit having pulled down a local copy that has pretty much everything that I see up on the web server.
However trying to open the local site I am besieged with notifications that I need to "discover things, etc. Have I overestimated the capability to be expected from DW? Thanks

No. WordPress is dynamically populated from content stored in the MySql database as well as a laundry list of server-side include files. In short, there's nothing to edit in Dreamweaver. After your WP site is deployed on the server, you MUST use the WordPress Admin Panel to edit & maintain content. Otherwise, you will break the site.
Feel free to use Dreamweaver to build a new web site or to customize a new WordPress Theme.

Are all of the fonts that come with Dreamweaver CS6 licensed for web use?

I also have Creative Suite 5, which I believe comes with an Adobe set of fonts. Are these all licensed?
Licensed? Yes, but not necessarily for the web. Some licenses allow use in print or images but not the web.

For legal reasons, don't just assume you can use any font you wish on the web. Fonts are protected by intellectual property laws in much the same way that software is protected from unlawful copying, modifying or distributing. In other words, a font owner can say "Sure, you can use my font but you can't alter it, you can't reproduce it and you can't distribute it." On the web, that's a deal breaker because you need to be able to do all three.

Hmmm,
I don't want to be the one to put you off. I'm in over my head too but I really enjoy the pain of grappling with Dreamweaver. It isn't really for the novice user and unlike any other app I know, it will be of greater benefit to those who have some knowledge of the underlying languages it deals with. i.e. HTML, CSS and some others. Strangely, I also hear from people that know the coding well, that they don't like/use/need Dreamweaver.
If you only want one site, and don't really need to wrench your own unique identity from what you are doing, why not look at a free site from Wordpress.com? I am sure you can use your own domain, and as you get proficient at it, you can expand what's there by paying for it.
Just a thought

Download of Dreamweaver CS6 trial stopped at 99%

I agreed to trial membership in the Cloud, downloaded and installed Adobe Application Manager, and began to download Dreamweaver CS6 trial. Software downloaded rapidly but stopped at 99%; that was about 45 min. ago. I'm on an iMac running OS 10.6.8 with cable modem and wifi connection. Any advice?

It's stuck on extraction for whatever reason. Close AAM, try again. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool if necessary.

Git/gitHub supported or can used together (linked) with dreamweaver cs6

git/gitHub supported or can used together (linked) with dreamweaver cs6? what is version control?
server folder, web url fields,...when define a LOCAL HOST SERVER what must insert? I have XAMPP...htdocs/ win7...?

It is best to download scripts from Github and save them in your local site folder.
To set-up a local testing server in DW see screenshots below. Replace C:\wamp\www\ with xampp\htdocs
Make sure Xampp is running.

in addition to Jon's hint, I'll send you some links to nice sliders (have fun with the different representations ):

You only need to use the source code to implant these shows there where you want. In my eyes it would be the best that you use first a very new and blank DW file to perform (maybe in LiveView) the one or the other.

Code works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC

<p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('http://www.anything.comt', '', 'top=20,left=20,toolbar=0,statusbar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1')" title="title">name</a></p> works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC
[Edited Title and moved to Dreamweaver- JTS]

I'm not quite sure I understand your point.
I have just tested the Open Browser Window behavior in Dreamweaver CC. It creates slightly different code from Dreamweaver CS6, but it works correctly. This is what is created in the HTML:
<p>my <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.adobe.com/','mywindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollb ars=yes,resizable=yes')">link</a>
</p>
Dreamweaver CC also adds the following code to the <head> of the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
</script>
The definition of the MM_openBrWindow() function is needed in the <head> for the code to work. But it definitely works OK.
With regard to _self and _blank not working, I can't find any problem with the way Dreamweaver CC handles them.
However, if you feel happier working with Dreamweaver CS6, you can download it from the following page:
https://creative.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver
Open the drop-down menu under "In this version", and select Dreamweaver CS6 as shown in the following screenshot:
With Dreamweaver CS6 selected, click the large Download button at the top-right of the page. You can then download CS6, and install it alongside Dreamweaver CC.

Where can I find a link to Dreamweaver CS6 trial?

I need to try Dreamweaver CS6 but cannot find the link. Any supposed link goes to Dreamweaver CC
As an aside, I have been 'chatting' with Adobe support for over 30 minutes and they cannot answer the question. <sigh>

Have a look at the link below, scroll down to the box of download links (I don't know it they work but you can try)
Download Adobe CS6 Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant or Manager) | ProDesignTools
Read the instructions above the download link box otherwise it won't work.

Dreamweaver CS6 trial won't launch

I have tried to launch Dreamweaver CS6 several times. I have installed and reinstalled the trial version but cannot get it to open. I get the little hourglass like it wants to load but that's only for a second and then nothing happens. The installation went fine. There were no problems or error messages. I do not get any error messages either when I try to open it. It is very important I get this program to work because my homework depends on it.
I am running on Windows XP Professional Service pack 3. My computer is an AMD Sempron 3000+, 2.00 GHZ, 1.93 GB of RAM.
Is there something I can do to get this program to open? Or perhaps something I may have done wrong?

Hello,
I know this is an old post, but I was wondering if there had been any resolution to the problem?
I have the same issue, and after several of my own tests to find the problem I found that the issue seems to be related to computers running Windows XP PROFESSIONAL. I tried installing the trial on four different computers, two were running XP Pro, and two were running XP home. In each case, I used the same DW CS6 install file, and started the installation to install as a trial, and each install went without any problems. But on the two WinXP Pro machines, the trial failed to initiate at the initial launch (first time start-up by clicking the LAUNCH button from the 'Install complete' screen). On the two XP HOME machines, the program started fine.
Unfortunately for me (and apparently for sweetpea too), I need it to run on Windows XP Pro and all my attempts to change the Windows permissions, or create and use a new user account had any affect-- the trial just won't start on the XP Pro computers. And just to clarify, ALL of the computers were running Service Pack 3.
It seems to me then it must have something to do with the program allowing permission (as noted in the various help files), but since they haven't seem to fix the problem, they are missing something. And obviously, I can't try the new CC version (it doesn't work with XP) so I need to find a solution so it will work with XP Pro (my work computer). I had planned on purchasing it once I was sure it would let me make the changes to my website that I wanted, but I'm not about to buy it now, and then find out it still won't work.
So I'd appreciate any additional recommendations that anyone might have to help to resolve the issue with a Widows XP Professional computer.

Help with Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac

I am a long time user of Dreamweaver CS 5.5 for PC and recently purchased an IMac. I have a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac and am having difficulty displaying an html file in Live View. I always used "Preview in Browser" in CS 5.5 and need this same feature. I have an active site that I imported into CS6 and the site uses templates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

JQuery Mobile with Dreamweaver CS6 - Blink

I´ve created a JQuery Mobile page using Dreamweaver CS6 that works perfectly in Firefox, but in iPad it appears blink effect when there´s a transition.
How to remove blink in transitions for JQuery Mobile ?

Yes, you can update the included version of jQuery Mobile.
Download the desired version from jquerymobile.com, and replace the files within Dreamweaver's Configuration folder. Greg Rewis wrote up a helpful blog post that details this process: http://blog.assortedgarbage.com/2011/05/updating-jquery-in-dreamweaver-cs5-5/
I haven't run into any issues with the newer stable versions (i.e. jQm 1.1.0 and jQ 1.7.1/1.7.2).
If you do, though, we'd like to hear about it: http://adobe.ly/DWBug

Intergrating wordpress with Dreamweaver CS6

I am new to Dreamweaver CS6 and trying to do a website for a charity . They require to update and add photos to their website. Some one suggested wordpress.I want to design it in dreamweaver but can anyone suggest how to intergrate wordpress with Dreamweaver. There will be only 2 pages at the most the client will have to update every month.I tried to download word press but it automatically opens Dreamweaver CS6 and displays an error saying
WordPress
Error: PHP is not running
WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.
i have it on the uniserver which has PHP already but what do I need to do for editable pages and secondly the error above, Please advice.

OK, there are several issues here:
Firstly, WordPress is a complete Content Management System. ALL of what you put up on that website will be done in WordPress, period.
Here's how Dreamweaver can help:
Dreamweaver can assist you in editing the stylesheet(s) for your WP page. But you'll need to add content using the WordPress interface, as all of your content will be located in a database and supplied from that Database.
What Dreamweaver is complaining about is that you do not have a server set up as a testing server so that Dreamweaver can show you what is happening with the server-side code (php). In order to do this, you will have to install WAMP or MAMP on your computer.
Or you could do what I did: Simply install WordPress on your remote host and don't use a testing server or designate that remote host as the testing server in Dreamweaver. (I have to confess, I never got MAMP to work correctly.)
Many hosting providers give you "Softalicious" that will automate the installation of WordPress on your server. If you have that, simply run it and you're all set.
If you don't, here are the steps to install WordPress on your server:
Requirements:
FTP Access
An available MySQL Database
The php software you wish to install
Create the MySQL Database:
Log into your Control Panel using the username and password provided by your Hosting Provider.
Go to your "MySQL Databases" in your Control Panel (CPanel) and create a database
Right below where you created the database, create a new user and password
Underneath where you created the user, you'll see two dropdown boxes, one with the user and the other with the database name. Add that user to the database, giving it "ALL" permissions.
*Note that the database and username has two parts: yourusername_databasename, and yourusername_username. For example, tester5_php1 and tester5_admin. You will need this for the software configuration.
Upload files:
Download WordPress from their site. Make sure you have the latest version.
Locate the folder on your computer that contains all the files for WordPress. Create a new defined site in Dreamweaver, and drag the entire WordPress site into that defined website in Dreamweaver.
Use Dreamweaver's FTP client to upload WordPress from your local computer to your remote host. On standard Linux/Apache webservers, you'll need to make sure that the Root Directory is set to /public_html/ or consult with your hosting provider to determine what the root directory is supposed to be.
Run the installation:
Typically accessing the installation folder directly in your web browser will lead you to the install page, otherwise you will need to refer to the documentation or README file for the location. Most of the installations are self explanatory and configure automatically. Either way, you will eventually need to provide the database information:
Hostname: localhost
db name: tester5_php1 (as you created in step 1)
db username: tester5_admin (as you created in step 1)
password: whatever password you created for the user in the database
You may also me prompted to specify Administrative login information. This information is in no way related to your CPanel or hosting provider, but is the information you will need to log in to the software's administrative control panel.
Once the installation is complete, WordPress will remove all installation directories so that nobody can mess up your installation by hacking in and re-running them.
Log in.
Now that you software is installed, it should give you a link to log in to the administrative control panel. This is where you will continue to develop this part of your website.
