Access levels in dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
I have been playing around with dreamweaver cs4 using the tutorials and videos i have thanks to you guys.
I created a simple login mysql database and used the login features within dreamweaver cs4 which was great and so simple.
I have came across login to a secured site so many times over the past few years pulling down sample asp with access scripts and never getting it right.worked first time no problem.
however what i do also get asked is access level security for a secured area. i noticed in the login objects properties there was an option "secure page and get access level from database table" however what i want to be able to do is have it so an admin would see all contacts in the database but the individual agents only have access to their own assigned contacts.
i would be greatful anyone could point me in right direction from within dreamweaver to do this, also not sure how i would setup the table in mysql to reflect this?
any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
andy

Not sure if this is what you want, at least it will give you an example

Dreamweaver CS4 FTP Access Denied error

We recently purchased and installed Adobe CS 4 Design Suite. I am trying to install and configure Dreamweaver CS4 to maintain our website.
I had a trial version on a PC which works fine.
I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I installed the newly purchased Dreamweaver CS4 on it. When I try defining a new website as suggested here (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSBE25912D-A9DE-4ba1-9F85-4C692F5C14ADa .html#WS269BF2C1-74ED-4797-9D9D-6EC283FE7645a)
and connect using FTP, it connects successfully. It shows me local and remote files. But if I try to download any file it gives an error such as:
/sandeepkolte/activities.aspx - error occurred - An FTP error occurred - cannot get activities.aspx. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.
If I try to upload a file, it gives an error:
Started: 4/11/10 10:52 PM
about.aspx - error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem.
File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.
Files with errors: 1
about.aspx
Finished: 4/11/10 10:52 PM
I tried installing FileZilla to check if I can upload/download files from website using a ftp client. And I can successfully do that. As I suggested earlier, I can connect, upload/download files from another PC with a older version as well as new trial version of DW on the same home network.
I also tried toggling Passive/Active mode but it did not work.
I have no firewall on Mac OS X. Can you please help me figure out what must be causing this and how to resolve it?

hi,
In the audit log .. I can see
-Connecting to FTP server "123.123.123.123"
-Write to FTP server "123.123.123.123" directory "/TEST/", -> file "abc.asc"
-Transfer: "TXT" mode, size 1 bytes, character encoding 8859_1
-Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Access is denied
-MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Access is denied.: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Access is denied.
-Exception caught by adapter framework: Access is denied.
-The message status set to WAIT.
i think connection is fine.But its not uploading the file.When i try created a folder in the same location , i can do the same.
My question is that if i can create and delete,then why PI is not posting the file even when i use the same user name and PW to connect.
Regards,
Srini

How do I transfer or access my personal dictionary from Dreamweaver CS4 to CC CS6

I have spent years building up a personal medical dictionary in Dreamweaver CS4 and have recently updated to Creative Cloud team CS6 (and about to update again) but I can't seem to get my new version to recognise my personal dictionary (it was created via: 'Command/Check Spelling/Add to Personal)

Locate the "Personal Dictionary MX.tlx" file on your computer. You can search hidden files and folders to find this file, or browse to the directory.
Windows Vista and Windows 7:Users\[your login]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Common.
Windows XP:Documents and Settings\[your login]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Common.
Mac OS X: the path is Macintosh HD:Users:[your login]:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Dreamweaver CS4:Common
1.Launch Dreamweaver CS6 and see what language you have the dictionary set to . Edit > Preferences > General > Spelling Dictionary > Take note of what it is set to.
2. Navigate to C:\Users\UsernameAppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\UserDictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\{locale}\added.txt
Paste the contents from the "Personal Dictionary MX.tlx" to "added.txt"

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:
Per scaricare il software è necessario installare Akamai Download Manager...
Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem
Thus, I have followed this rules in Akamai Download Manager System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 7
1) Access your Internet options from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Options) or by selecting Tools > Internet Options in Internet Explorer
2) Select the Security Tab
3) Click Custom Level
4) Scroll through the list of security options and set:
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Download signed ActiveX controls > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting > Enable or Prompt
-Downloads > File download > Enable
-Miscellaneous > Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints > Enable
-Scripting > Active scripting > Enable
5) Click OK
6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!
Horsepower0171.

another option you may have is resettofactory
start- run- type:
cmd
press enter
type:
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter
type:
loader.exe /resettofactory
press enter
please perform a backup first
test your browser before you restore your backup, and to be ssafe I would do a selective restore
open DTM, go to backup/restore- advanced
top left click on file-open
find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

Access level in lookup table

I'm using Dreamweaver CS4. It seems that access levels can
only be applied (at least through Server Behaviors) to a field
within the same table that host the users and their associated
passwords. I have adopted a database which contains a table which
contains the users and their passwords but the access levels are
stored in a lookup table. Aside from hand coding this or changing
the table structure to include access levels, users and passwords
in the same table, can anyone provide some insight as to how to
handle this?

OK i have successfully achieved the JOIN...I think. I clicked
"Test" on the Recordset dialog and I can see records from the table
but not the JOIN table.
Here is the SQL statement I used:
SELECT authuser_id, firstname, lastname, uname, passwd
FROM authuser INNER JOIN user_access ON
authuser.authuser_id=user_access.userID
So once this is done, I'm not sure how to proceed. I added
the "Log In User" server behavior but the JOIN field is not
displayed under the "Restrict access based on:".
I obviously have a lot to learn about how Dreamweaver helps
streamline this process. Any help (detailed as possible) would be
much appreciated.

Php code limit a user based on access level

building site where users post items for sale
different levels of access
want to limit basic access level to 10 postings
use php/mysql and dreamweaver CS4
thanks for your help,
jim balthrop

sounds phenominal
Like Craigslist but you have to pay... sign me up!
If the activation method of the registration being sent to your email is this method then, as mentioned, it can be circumvented. And the IP address is an absolute fool-proof way to prevent multiple registration. That is of course without the consideration that the user may use a proxy server or otherwise cloak their IP address.
Think of it this way: what if you were only allowed to post 10 threads in the Adobe forums and after that you had to pay to get "many benefits besides unlimited posting" What do you think DWFAQ would do?

Dreamweaver CS4 and PHP require_once, require, include_once, include absolute paths

I have a question about Dreamweaver CS4's new functionality that lists required and included files in a second row below the name of the file you are currently editing. It's handy.
I see that Dreamweaver attempts to list all the included files for a given page so that it is easier to find and edit those files.
For example. If I had a HTML document called index.html that linked to a CSS document called style.css, when I open index.html, Dreamweaver CS4 lists style.css in a row below index.html.
My problem is this. This new functionality works on absolute paths and relative paths for HTML elements. For example, it can find and link to CSS files regardless of if the src tag is relative or absolute (/css/style.css)
REFRESHER: absolute paths start with a "/" as in "/css/style.css" and relative paths do not start with a "/" as in "css/style.css" or "../../css/style.css"
However, PHP files that are linked to the current page via require, require_once, include, or include_once, only appear to work if you use a relative path.
So this would work in Dreamweaver:
require_once('../lib/config.php');
But this would not
require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
As any PHP developer knows, you are never supposed to use relative paths with included or required files. Especially if your site has multiple levels of sub directories. Relative paths are relative to the calling php document. It causes a bunch of problems. I can explain how if you want.
How can I tell Dreamweaver that the base directory on my apache web server for my domain...
/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/
... is the equivalent of the base directory on my home computer where dreamweaver accesses my files.
C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\
So that when I write...
require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
... how can I force dreamweaver understand that "/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/" is the same as "C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\" on my home computer. So that way, this new Dreamweaver CS4 submenu feature can find and link to the correct file.
Essentially, can I define Dreamweaver "include paths" for Dreamweaver to search in if the file I'm trying to include is not in the same directory?

Perhaps you ought to inform the PHP documentation team. All the examples in the PHP manual use relative paths.

Dreamweaver parses only relative paths in PHP includes. The Related Files feature was a new addition in Dreamweaver CS4, so it's not 100% perfect. Having the ability to define your own include_path for Dreamweaver to parse would be a useful improvement.

Dreamweaver CS4 and PS CS3

I installed Dreamweaver CS4 yesterday and this morning I opened Photoshop CS3 to work on some files and PS is not working correctly, when selecting tools such as the brush, majic wand, or move tool all I get is the hand tool. I can still access layers, levels, and other adjustments just fine. Is there a conflict going on between DW 4 and PS 3?

There shouldn't be any conflict between different versions of the applications. What OS are you running and have you installed the latest patches for the programs?

Footer displayed inaccurately in Dreamweaver CS4 php page

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to Dreamweaver CS4. Our organization site uses mostly php pages. When I attempt to open these pages in Dreamweaver CS4 the footer menu bar displays innacurately down through the center of the page and won't allow any edits as it acts like a top layer or something. Usually it acts as a menu bar on the top of any page on our website.
As it should appear from an online screen shot: You'll notice the orange menu bar across the top.
A shot of the Design View in Dreamweaver CS4: You'll see the menu options are running down the center of the page as text.

This seems like a simple solution but I'm just not sure what it would be.
Thanks

The live view or preview functions do not work and lead to the error: "Not Found, the requested URL/html/index.php was not found on this server.'   This is another issue that I don't understand.
Unfortunately, I did not develop this website and have a minimal knowledge of html and Dreamweaver. I'm not sure if I can answer the question about which menu system we're using - would seeing the code of the footer help?   I'll paste below in case.
And just to be clear, the problem only occurs in editing in Dreamweaver, but when uploaded to our server it appears correctly.
Thanks for your help!

Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

Center website VERTICAL in Dreamweaver CS4

Hello anyone,
I would like to center my website VERTICALLY in Dreamweaver CS4.
I am new at this and don't understand code language, so please use 'design-view' language if possible.
Thanks!!!

It's not a question of centering vertically in CS4, but doing so reliably in all browsers. Horizontal centering is easy. Vertical centering is not. The following tutorials explain how to do it:
http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html
http://murphy.cz/victoria-s-vertical-centering/
Warning: they're not written in "design view" language. If you want to achieve a reasonable level of proficiency in web design, you need to learn how to use HTML and CSS.

Losing formatting in Dreamweaver CS4 site

Hello all! So frustrated!
I have built the rough design of a site in Dreamweaver CS4 using tables to do a lot of the formatting for a lot of information. For some reason, all of a sudden I have lost all table formatting when the site is viewed in any browser. In addition, I have lost some of my spry menu formatting (background color of menu bar) and hyperlink formatting when viewed online even though absolutely nothing looks wrong to me on the design view. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Two examples...they are different as we are still deciding on colors:

All browsers will view html and css errors differently. DW Design View isn't a browser though and typically shows you something other than what will be viewed in the real browsers. You can't rely on it for giving you anything but an approximation of what your site could look like.
Always use Preview In Browser to see your actual page in the various browsers. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera are the minimums I test for on Desktops. I test iOS Safari and Android for mobile by putting everything on a local test server and accessing it via WiFi with a couple of phones (since every emulator I've seen so far has been just as bad as DW's Design View).
HTML and CSS errors are a major cause of display problems/differences between the various browsers/versions/platforms. You should become very familiar with the validators. In addition to the one already given, here is the CSS validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Are all of your pages that are linked to this on the same directory level?
The ../../ in front of every link means "go up two directory levels". If there are no pages, or if some of the pages are not at that directory level, the links would be going to nothing.
I don't use library items myself, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the "bad path" in your error report leads me to think some of those paths (since they're the only ones in the code) could be pointing to the wrong locations.
My response will also bump your question back to the top of the pile. Maybe someone else will have a good idea of what's actually happening.

Assist plaese with PHP testing in Dreamweaver CS4

Dear Friends,
I’m completely new in Dreamweaver. I’ve just installed in my windowsXP PHP, MySQL and Apache. I’m trying to test PHP in Dreamweaver CS4. Here what I did but still could not see result in browser view.
In site definition box,
in local info:
site name: PHP test
local root folder: C:\wamp\www\
HTTP address: http://localhost/PHPTest.php/
In testing server:
            Server model: PHP My SQL
            Access: Local/Network
            Testing server folder: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\
            URL Prefix: http://localhost/PHPTest.php/
Inside the body script in code view I inserted the following:
<?php
            echo "This is a PHP line";
            phpinfo();
?>
When I try to see it in browser it shows: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Please tell me what I did wrong please.
Thanks,
Qartveli

some clues to get you started:
1. when developing on a local server, make sure that the testing server folder is equal to the local root folder -- means that it´s "C:\wamp\www\" in both cases, otherwise your local server will try to load the current page from the directory "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot" where this page physically doesn´t exist, and that´s why you´re getting the "cannot display the webpage" error message.
2.
URL Prefix: http://localhost/PHPTest.php/
never specify a certain page name in here -- http://localhost/ is all you need for the URL prefix, and the name of the to-be-previewed page will be appended automatically when going to Preview mode..
Cheers,
Günter

Problem with Restrict Access to Page with access level using ASP

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP-VBScript and an Access
database. The pages were created from scratch for this project,
using those tools all the way through.
I've created a login page, an admin homepage, and add, edit,
and list records pages for three tables. The login page uses the
Server Behavior "Log in User", all other pages use the Server
Behavior "Restrict Access to Page". All of these are based on an
Access Level.
Login seems to work correctly, and redirects to the admin
homepage. From the admin homepage, I can open any other page as
expected, and they initially display correctly. On the add and edit
pages, however,
submitting the form often results in getting logged out, but
not always.
Once this happens, I can log back in, but other problems will
sometimes occur during that second login session. Sometimes,
logouts will occur on pages that worked fine during the first login
session. Sometimes, another session variable that I've setup
manually will change when it shouldn't...as if there were two
values stored for my session variable, and reloading the page
changes to the other value.
This
post seems closest to my experience, but it doesn't look like
there was really an answer beyond "I had to fight with it for a bit
to get it to work":
I suspected that there is some problem with session settings
on the server. We have an almost identical tool on the same server
that was developed with an older version of DW that works more
reliably; it sometimes has problems with the initial login, but
never has a problem after that.
Has anyone experienced problems like this? Any suggestions
for what to check? I'm really pulling my hair out since it's so
unreliable...the kind of problem that goes away when you try to
show someone and comes back when they leave.

Hello,
I was thinking that all I would need would be the username, although username and paswsword would be more secure. There are about 50 users and no groups or levels. They are all equal ... same level.
The website is private and there is a general content area for all users and then there will be private areas for each user where proprietary documents will be held. I need to be able to ensure that user 'A' can only see the user 'A' pages, user 'B' can only see user 'B', etc.
I don't really understand what the Dreamweaver script is doing, but the overview sounded like it was the right tool to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
thanks.
