Adding blog style content to a dreamweaver site

So I am trying to help my site out a bit by adding content. i have always written articles, but I have recently decided I should be adding these to my own site. I would like to somehow add content to the site (either in the form of a directory with wordpress installed) or preffereably through dreamweaver (love it, am comfortable with it etc.) I would like to someohow get the content to my landing pages but I suppose I could be satisfied just having it in a directory. Is there any dreamweaver widget or anything that would allow me to post content on my landing pages that would be like inside of a scrolling box? I wish i understood what I was trying to accomplish a bit better (it would probably help me ask this question in a more intelligent way)
If anyone can make sense of my nonsense question, I will be forever indebted to you! Thanks in advance guys love this forum.

Create an RSS feed of your "articles" or blog posts. It's not hard. It's just a simple XML file.
Then use a script to parse the XML feed into your home page. The following tutorial describes how to bring a Blogger RSS feed into your main web site with PHP.

Adding a ASP Search to a Dreamweaver Site

I have just created a basic HTML website using Dreamweaver CS3. It is just a series of link pages with various documents on each page. I used a vertical Spry navigation menu. This is an intranet site for the company I work for and as such will reside on an internal server. So far so good.
The problem I have is this - my client wants to add a search box so that folks can search the site. Someone suggested I use an ASP search from a website called SimonGibson.com. Since it was only $25 I took a chance and downloaded it. Of course, I probably should have thought it out a bit more, because I don't even know if this will work on a static site. The dowload includes a default.asp file, a form.html file, and a css file. Would I simply need to put these files in my root folder?
Has anyone else tried this or do you know if it is possible to have a search component? Is there a better way to do it?
I am new to this so I appreciate any feedback you can give me. Thanks!

Using Contribute on a non-Dreamweaver site.

A client wants to use Contribute 3 for CMS on a site I have built with Brand-X software and hand coding. This is not a Dreamweaver site.
I have found and tested the following code, posted in 2007 by ThinkInk -
----------------------------------- example code ----- see body tag for editable code------
<body>

editable content

</body>
</html>
This gives a titled, highlighted box around the html marked, but leaves all items on the page selectable, html editable and most imges deletable.
Can someone provide a sample of code that could be added to areas that should not be edited?

Hi, Light,
Oh, you're fine with being secretive. I don't actually want to know what software you are using, because it doesn't make any difference to me! I don't have experience with other softwares and can't offer any wisdom that way!
Regarding the CSS pages, make sure that the external CSS files are properly linked to your Template files. If you are looking at a Template page with properly linked CSS files, you should see them in the CSS Styles Panel...both the files and a list of the styles therein. You also should see that your html pages look correct.
Don't make Templates of the CSS files; they need to be CSS files, not Templated pages.
If your CSS files are named with the .css extension and linked, they should show up in the CSS Styles Panel. If the files are well-formed, but don't carry a .css extension, you might make new pages File > New > New Document > CSS and create a new file for each, pasting in your CSS declarations just under the
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
at the top of the file. Then make sure each file is properly linked to the appropriate Template pages.
Make sure, after you have fixed up the CSS files and the Templates, that you propagate the changes...save each Template file and answer yes, when you are asked if you want to update the files. If any of those files are open in the Document Window, after you have Saved the Template you will need to Save All again, to save the individual pages.
Then upload to your server. <Grin>

Path issue leaving me unable to add blog post content in design view

Hi guys,
I am unable to add blog post content in design view when a template is applied to my blog. BC support have told me they fixed the problem by making minor changes to the paths of the css and javascript files and then told me to post on here for the solution.
When I call the files using <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/custom.css" /> everything displays perfectly but in BC I can't add blog post content in design view. I can edit in html but this isn't ideal for clients to update the blog.
If I change the paths to <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css" /> it fixes the problem and I can then edit blog content in design view but all blog pages that are in folders display incorrectly. Only the main blog page display properly.
I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't find it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Pete

I took a look at your page URL and can't find any CSS issues or styles that would directly affect you editing/adding content to a blog post via the content editor.
Make sure you either clear your cache or try in another browser to see if the problem is localized to your current browser.
If you still have the problem can you link me to a screencast (you can use Jing if you don't have a screencast program: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html) of what you are experiencing?

After adding a flashfile .swf into a dreamweaver page and trying to run it, I get an error message related to Javascript

after adding a flashfile .swf into a dreamweaver page and trying to run it, I get an error message related to Javascript
I have no trouble viewing other websites with (most likely), flashfiles.
Here is the the PopUp message:
"Adobe-warning Adobe Flash PLayer has stopped a potentrially unsafe operation......"

In newer versions of Flash Pro, you can export to HTML5 Canvas, that's probably what they're talking about: Flash Professional Help | Creating and publishing an HTML5 Canvas document
.FLV and .SWF are Flash formats that won't show up on iOS (or an ever increasing number of other mobile devices). Mobile Flash was killed by Adobe a couple years ago, so the number of mobile devices that can see it is dwindling rapidly, don't use those formats if you want your viewers on mobile devices to see your content.

Multiple content databases and Project Sites

Hi,
I am in the process of migrating our Project 2007 PWA + Project Workspaces data to Project 2010. Our PWA site and the Project Workspaces are in a single content DB (2007) and I am trying to work out what I should do when I migrate it. Our content
DB is about 150GB which I believe is around the maximum that it should be.
I am unsure about a couple of things.
1. In SharePoint, you can assign multiple content DBs to a single web application, but each Site Collection will only live in a single content DB. Given that all of the Project Sites are actually just sub-sites of a single Site Collection I cannot see
a way to ever split them up into multiple content DBs. Am I missing something?
2. There is another post in this forum talking about whether to split PWA and Project Sites into different content DBs (and therefore Site Collections) with Project 2010 or not. Even though I have read it I am still unclear as to whether or not I should
do this and what the actual pros and cons are.
Thanks in advance for the replies.
Cheers,
David

All,
The requester wants more than 1 Site Collection for Project Sites and he wants more than 1 content database for each site collection. Neither of which apparently SharePoint can do. However,
for large numbers of Projects and associated Project Sites this will almost certainly be a necessity.
The Suggestion was that the PWA site collection and Project Sites site collection could be different and hence on different databases (even web apps). Fine. But not helpful, really, since that
only gets us to two site collections. One very small and one that will potentially grow very large, too large.
What appears to also have been suggested was to create a separate site collection for very large project sites.
While this approach could work, it is administration intense and is bound to have issues related to PWA navigation, etc...and certainly not part of the Project Server 2010 PWA automatic Site
Creation methodology. It also is after the fact and not really scalable. it would be possibe, but tricky to do this after the fact - moving it from one site collection to another - and then reset the URL in PWA Server Settings,
could be done.
I would suggest something similar, but a bit more pragmatic...Thanks Bruce!
Create 1 new Site Collection for Project Sites (same web app) in a new content DB - use script.
Setup PWA to provision all new Project Sites to that new site collection. Maintains automatic site provisioning.
Monitor
the size of the DB, when it reaches a reasonable limit (? 50GB ?) - repeat this process, create another site collection in a new DB - but
change the PWA provisioning settings to have all new sites go to the new (next) site collection. Existing sites will still be found (keep the site collections in the same web app for continuity) and can have content added (I guess up
to a point - monitor). Repeat as needed.
Another way I can conceive of is to create a fixed set of a small number of site collections (in the same web app) and manage the Project Site creation manually selecting which
project site goes against which site collection. Division along some logical boundary such as Departments makes sense. But other divisions may be used. This could scale by simply adding more site collections at each department (HR-2), should any given department's
DB grow too big. Then all the logically related Project Sites will hang off the site collection selected and be part of that database for that site collection for that "department" let's say.
just a variation of the above solution. Monitoring the DB size is key in both cases.
There may of course be caveats to any approach other than OOTB and all in 1 site collection, around navigation, web parts, solution starters, etc...some of which are addressed elsewhere. Of
course, this is admin intensive but retains automatic provisioning for new sites. I believe it would work and meet the requirements for smaller DB's and multiple Site collections for PWA Project Sites and scale to thousands of project sites.
Thanks,
Eric S.

Have existing Dreamweaver site want to publish new Muse site into it

I have developed a web site and managed it in Dreamweaver I would like to put new pages including index page from Muse into this Dreamweaver site and from the new index (Muse) link it to the old Index Page (Dreamweaver) so there will be access to all the old areas.
Do I just lay all the the new HTML export into the old sites folder and How do I link the new index page to the old index page with the same name Index?

Hello,
As such there's no option to import the live pages into Muse and work on them. This is because Muse will only allow opening files with extension as .muse for editing purposes. If you publish to the site from Muse directly then the older content would be replaced completely.
You can however, create the page in Muse, and then export the contents using the File -> Export As HTML option and use Dw to edit the code as per your requirement. This, although not exactly what you need, is a suitable option to retain both the older and the newer contents.

Content Deployment across Publishing site.

Dear All, We are now having a requirement in SharePoint 2013 where we will have to move content from one site collection to another site collection. Here we are facing an errors as both the site collections are enabled with publishing features. Can any one
provide us to perform Content Deployment between 2 site collections having publishing features enabled.
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I follow the question. Quick Deployment is just a security setting that allows certain users to tag specific content to be pushed to the target location outside of a regular content deployment. The process is still the same. So
if you can do a regular deployment and your user has the ability to do a quick deployment then you should be able to tag content for a quick deploy.

Need help: enter flash file in Dreamweaver site with dark background

Hi,
I've entered a SWF in a dreamweaver site with a dark blue
background. When you view the site in a browser there is a white
square (the size of the flash file) that flashes up for a second
before the file starts loading. This is rather ugly and I was
wondering if anyone knew how to avoid this white square from
flashing up.
I already tried making the table background dark blue and
adding a dark blue square as a background image, but that has not
made any difference.
If you'd like to see what it does, this is a link to one of
the pages: www.billmather.co.uk/portraits.htm
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me!

Hi Horus,
Thank you for getting back to me. I found it, and tried it.
But still does not seem to make a difference. This is what the code
in dreamweaver now looks like:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','wid th','850','height','660','src','flashFilesBill/landscapes','quality','high','pluginspage', 'http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','flashFilesBill/landscapes'
); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object
classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0"
width="850" height="660">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000033" />
<param name="movie"
value="flashFilesBill/landscapes.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="flashFilesBill/landscapes.swf" quality="high"
pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="850"
height="660"></embed>
</object>
Did I enter it correctly? (I also tried it as <param
name="bgcolor" value="#000033"> but that did not work either) Or
do we still need to find another solution?
Thanks ever so much for all your suggestions and ideas. I
truly appreciate it.

Is there a way to avoid having a content library on a site server when the Distribution Point role is not installed on that server (disk cost issue)?

Hello,
I don't think it is possible, but my goal is to start a discussion about content libraries and maybe suggest something for a future release or version of Configuration Manager.
Actually, based on Configuration Manager Technet documentation, Configuration Manager creates a content library on each site server and on each distribution point.
Often, when designing the architecture, people will offload the distribution point role from the site server to an external server (and add the role to other servers too for redundancy). They could also do the same for the Management Point role, but this
is not related to content library. The idea is to save the site server from having to deal with clients for software distribution (applications, software updates, OS, etc.), this is especially true for organizations having a large number of clients and/or
primary site servers involved in a hierarchy. Doing so will allow more resources on the site server to deal with the database and also replication in the case of a hierarchy.
When doing that, you still have to maintain a content library on the site server and the thing is this library will usually become huge, especially for organizations having more than 1000 applications (add also OS images to this). Will the content library
on the site server become as huge as the one for a distribution point having a copy of all content? I guess the answer is yes.
I know that Pull distribution points will help offloading the task from the site server to distribute content to distribution points, but, correct me if I'm wrong, you still have to maintain a content library on the site server when using them, and they
will not make the content library smaller on the site server. Also, I don't like the fact that you lose the rate limits feature with Pull DPs, but this is another story.
Storage cost is high and in this scenario, it hurts to have to pay this cost for a content library not used by the clients, but only to distribute content to DPs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the key component here is Distribution Manager on the site server; this is the one which has to maintain a content library to do its job.
It would be nice if we could have a way to elect a specific distribution point (not on the site server) as the Distribution Manager for a site, that main DP would hold a copy of all content by default, but would be used to distribute content to other DPs
and avoid the content library on the site server. Said differently, the Distribution Manager component would become a site system role that could be transferred outside the site server.
Tnx for comments, answers or suggestions.
Patrick

There is no way to avoid that the contentlib will be placed on the site server.
I don‘t agree that storage cost is high. It might be true for fast storage, but that‘s not needed for it.

How to include Aperture web gallery in dreamweaver site

With the demise of mobile me I need to find a way to keep my personal website photo albums (web galleries) that I currently publish via Aperture web gallery and then use a hyperlink from my Dreamweaver web site. This means visitors can view the photo's from a link button but the actual images they see are Aperture Web Galleries. This method has worked for me for a while now.
I know you can save a complete web gallery from Aperture onto a local drive rather than upload to mobile me. Does anyone know a beginners (ie me) guide to include that Aperture web gallery directly into a Dreamweaver site?. It feels like it should be possible but can't find any help.
thanks in advance.
Peter B.

Hello Peter,
What I do, to link my Aperture galleries to my iWeb pages, is to export the galleries from Aerture to my disk and then to upload them using ftp to a folder at my web hostings service. Then I link the iWeb pages to the gallery using link button or string. I use the free FTP program CyberDuck http://cyberduck.softonic.de/mac to copy the gallery using ftp. If your web hosting service allows ftp transfer, you could do the same. CyberDuck is really a smart little tool, but any program that allows ftp transfer would suffice.

How to rename content type on web site level and underneath all the document libraries using powershell?

Hello
I wantto rename content type on web site level and underneath all the document libraries using powershell, please let me know how can do this?
I saw this url
http://suryapulipati.blogspot.in/2011/08/rename-content-type-name-in-list-using.html, but I want to change everything from Web Site, subsite and underneath document libraries. Because if you try to change on any on document library, it will be applicable
for that document library, if you change on web level then underneath document libraries content type names not updated automatically.
Please advise
Avi

Not sure with powershell.
I could help you out with Server Side or Web Services though.

White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

Hi
Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
black background).
Question - how do I either
a) get the white square to be black
b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
Many thanks

Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
to do with it.
How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
Many thanks
