Alternative to bindings panel?

Hi, I wonder if you could help please. I am trying to set up a search and results page within my website (but new to all this!)
The adobe help pages have suggested that for an advanced results page I need to open the bindings panel, only it is now not on dreamweaver cc. I have seen that it can be downloaded as an extension but I worry that this will soon become obsolete and I'll have to learn another method later.
Can you advise if there is a better or alternative way that I can set up my 'results' page please (and ideally where would be best to read/learn about this.
Thanks in anticipation
(I am running windows 8 and dreamweaver cc. Let me know if you need any other info please)

The best alternative, by far, is to write your own code and forget about binding panels and other such methods.

Names don't appear in the bindings panel

Hello all,
If anyone could possibly answer this question I would appreciate it.
I'm in Dreamweaver CS4 on a mac pro.
When I create a URL variable or a FORM variable or a RECORD SET (query) through the bindings panel the name that should appear next to the dynamic data lightning bolt icons do not appear. There is always a dialog box asking to me to name them each time but the name that I give never shows up. This does not happen when I do it on a PC It only happens at on my mac ? So when I create multiple url or form variables or record sets I don't know which one I'm inserting until I actually insert it and see it in the php page. This proves that they are being created but without any identifying names to help keep track of them all.
Thank you in adavnce,
Frustrated Fred...

Date and time formats in DW CS3 using Bindings Panel

Hi!
I've seen a couple of questions on the web concerning this
but none have been answered.
I'm using an Access database with a date field that I want to
format on my ASP page using the Short Date format from the Bindings
panel in DW CS3. It just won't work. In earlier versions of DW it
worked just fine and also in the CS4 Beta. Anyone who knows what
the deal with CS3 is?

What specifically does it just won't work mean? What steps
are you taking and what is the end result of your steps? If you get
code inserted into the page, how does that compare to what the
other versions are outputing?
Well, nothing happens at all. When I select the dynamic text
that gets its value from a Access database, the datacolumn in the
database is in a dateformat. The default dateformat is displayed
like this on the page;
8/6/2008 5:45:18 PM, I just want the date to display in a
Short Format, like this 8/6/2008.
When I select the dynamic text in DW CS3 and try to select
the Short Format option ion the dropdown menu in the bindingspanel
nothing happens. When I do the same thing in the CS4 Beta this
funktion is inserted in the head of the document:
function DoDateTime(str, nNamedFormat, nLCID)
dim strRet
dim nOldLCID
strRet = str
If (nLCID > -1) Then
oldLCID = Session.LCID
End If
On Error Resume Next
If (nLCID > -1) Then
Session.LCID = nLCID
End If
If ((nLCID < 0) Or (Session.LCID = nLCID)) Then
strRet = FormatDateTime(str, nNamedFormat)
End If
If (nLCID > -1) Then
Session.LCID = oldLCID
End If
DoDateTime = strRet
End Function
And at the dynamic text the code changes to this <%=
DoDateTime((rsTestrecset.Fields.Item("date").Value), 2, -1) %>
Everything is working like charm!
But in the CS3 version noting is inserted on the page. It's
not possible to edit the formats either, in the bindings panel. If
you try to do that you get a dialogbox that says Something like
"The formatttype Dat/time could not be found" (My application is in
swedish, so it may not exactly be the correct text.)

Cannot add variable in bindings panel

Hello all,
My problem is that when I go through the procedure to add the Session variables they do not appear in the Bindings panel window - the same window where recordsets from databases appear.
I go to my bindings panel, click on + add a session variable, fill out name, click ok. And nothing happens.
In fact, the only thing I can get to appear in the Binding panel is recordsets, none of the other variables won't appear either after trying to add.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rich

hi,
i'm using a simple user variable. On the first slide i've 4 different text entry box use to ask "which are 4 top problems you need to fix with a management software?"
After typing those 4 "problems" in the text entry box we went to reuse those "problems" at the end of our presentation and ask the same people to rate us if our solution can fix their "problems" . using a Likert style raring scale.
tks to help me !

DW8 Bindings Panel not showing recordsets

G'day,
I have a number of sites configured, with many pages using
recordsets. For some reason DW8 is no longer showing the recordsets
in the bindings panel. This is true for pages that were created in
DW8 and still in their original code state and for pages that I
have modified to send e-mail when a record is added, so it is not
due to me modifying code.
Any tips on how to refresh or re-populate the bindings panel
would be gratefully appreciated.
DW8 | ASP | VBScript

It looks like you are creating a query from a query rather
than from a data
table. Is that right?

Bindings Panel - Not showing Form Textfields or Variables

I've had to reinstall Dreamweaver 8, updated to 8.0.2, after
a recent computer crash. Now my Bindings Panel will not display
form textfields/variables from pages in the bindings panel. I have
no problem displaying database information, recordsets,
sessions/application variables that I've create, but it just won't
pull form information from the page which I'm currently editing.
Any tips, hints?? This one really has me baffled.

Form elements don't automatically display in the Bindings panel. However, you can create form elements in the panel by clicking the plus button and selecting Form Variable from the menu. In a PHP site, this creates a $_POST variable with whatever name you assign to it.

Missing Form values in Bindings Panel in Dreamweaver CS3

I've recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3 and have noticed
that the form values for forms on the current page are not showing
up in the bindings panel. I believe this was a feature added in
8.0.2 -- it was great for binding a from value to itself on
reloading (in the case the page submitted form failed server side
validation) or for inserting form values into code.
Does anyone know if this feature is still supported in the
new version and how to turn it on -- there's no sign of it in my
review of the online help.
I'm working in ASP VBScript, and the bindings panel seems to
be displaying the database recordsets on a page just fine.
Thanks.

Database bindings panel in trial version? {subject edited by moderator}

I am trying to setup a simple login using mysql and php. I have the site setup along with the database. My problem is when I go to Bindings / Database, there's no option for recordrowset.
Is this simply due to the trial version ( have downloaded cs5.5 and CC). I don't want to pay for the full version if I'm going to have the same problem.
Thanks in advance

Downloaded CS5.5? from where, it's not available any longer I don't think. If it is CS5.5 should still have the option to create a login page using the server behaviours. CC an CC2014 by default have the server behaviours removed. They can be re-instated via an extension as explained at the link in the post above.

Bindings panel bug in Dreamweaver

I'm using a flickr rss feed which uses tags like
<media:thumbnail url="pathtoimage" height="75" width="75" />
When you open the dataset in the bindings tab the xpath
displays properly: "rss/channel/item/media:thumbnail/@url".
However if you expand the dataset it gets confused and when
you try to insert it you get: "{thumbnail/@media:url}" and it
should be "{media:thumbnail/@url}".
Looks as if this happens with semi-colons in the tag name.

BW~Merlin,
You are truly a magician. Spacebar was all it took to make
the selection. It was still invisible, but I was able to proceed
sucessfully with the installation. Many thanks.
Still, I'm sure it's not what the developers intended. I hope
it's something funny about the configuration of my machine and not
a widespread issue!

OT: Bindings panel, Databases, and Server behaviors in Dreamweaver CC

Hi all,
There was a query on the Dreamweaver Facebook page about using server behaviors in Dreamweaver going forward. The product team replied to the post, and I am posting it on this forum for the benefit of users not on our Facebook page.
In Dreamweaver cc release server behaviors will be available as an extension. Once you install the extension server behaviors feature will be enabled and extensions dependent on it will work as before. In the CC release, you can find the extension at the location
* Vista/Windows 7: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\Configuration\DisabledFeatures
* Mac OS X: /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/Configuration/DisabledFeatures
Additional documentation is available at
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/dreamweaver-cc-server-extensions.html
Also, check out this video created by Silas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB2vmNfcq7A
The Dreamweaver team has posted their view about the latest changes in Dreamweaver in their blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html
Thanks,
Preran

I am sorry to say so, but your disappointing blog post just tells us two things:
You claim that you are listening to your users, but you have just proved you don’t. Despite the high volume of disappointment expressed through the comments to previous posts of this blog, through comments in Dreamweaver Help or through the Community Forum, you show no change of direction, nor any will to cater for the disrupted workflow that Dreamweaver CC is introducing. Instead, you are just producing blog posts that desperately try to prove us that you are “streamlining” and “modernizing” Dreamweaver. An extension that brings back half of the features is not a strong-enough signal that you have taken into account our needs. Extensions written by third parties which you claim are alternatives but are not resemble more leg-pulling than anything else. Will you reduce Dreamweaver’s price for the removal of killer features that were sold with the software before?
You do not seem to know how Dreamweaver users use the software or at least, to be fair, how a large number of users do. I thought the aim of software makers was to sell a tool that aids its clients in, and brings value to, their work.
As an extension writer, I can tell that the vast majority of my users are either DIY guys or professionals working on their own. Not big companies with teams of developers. The majority of those never have been Dreamweaver users and will never be, having different needs and ways of working.
As responses to your “streamlining” and “modernization” of Dreamweaver have shown, for a large number of users, the strength of Dreamweaver lies in its extensibility, of which server behaviors are the most advanced feature. I am not talking about the code they write, which we all agree has to be updated (and we have been waiting this for a number of releases, now…), I am talking about their very mechanism, which allow us to write our code and use Dreamweaver to speed up our job by helping us to write it again, faster, without errors, visually.
No other tool offers this possibility. Without server behaviors and database support, Dreamweaver is simply not worth its price…
Obviously, you are the ones with the real figures and only you can tell if it is a strategic decision or a big mistake. I was a bit surprised though by the number of voices that rose after the Dreamweaver CC release, so I tend to think that Mr. Adobe would not be that pleased by the loss of a good number of faithful clients. But then at least, be honest enough to tell us if you intend to drop a part of long-term users, and stop serving us your commercial soup…
Now, what will happen?
You still refuse to listen to the numerous voices who have called against your decision to remove useful features to us, and in this case, we will act accordingly: we are big enough, we do not need your blatant propaganda even by the product manager himself to decide whether Dreamweaver CC will still be worth its high price into our workflow, if the new features will outweigh the loss of server behaviors and database support. If not, of course, we will not upgrade just because you are marketing the supposedly wonderful new features, and we will turn to other tools, with features that will help us improve our workflow in other ways. And goodbye Adobe, we do not trust you anymore… It is as simple as that.
You show us you really are listening to your customers and you bring back updated server behaviors and database support. In this case, we will know that we can trust Adobe again, that you do listen to us, and will applaud with both hands.
And, more important to you, we will have a valid reason to upgrade and we will. Come on guys, our productivity is at stake, but your jobs may be in the line too…

My Recordset is not showing up in the Panel

If you're using ASP JavaScript as the poster in this other
thread, you might be able to use the same technique that I
suggested as a potential workaround:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=263&threadid =1429140&enterthread=y
A similar technique may work for PHP and ColdFusion as well.

Site CFC's not displaying in component panel

Hi there.
I've created cfc's manually and they do not show up in
Dreamweaver's componet panel, nor does the folder they were saved
to (also created manually).
When I look in the Bindings panel after opening a cfm page
that calls a cfc with a query in it, the cfc is not displayed
either.
If I create a cfc through Dreamweaver and save it to the same
folder, the cfc is displayed in the Bindings panel and I'm able to
use the Server Behaviors panel to output the query.
So it looks to me there is some process that registers the
cfc (and location) when Dreamweaver creates the cfc.
Anyone know if there is a file I can update somewhere or a
process for registering cfc's created manually or outside of
Dreamweaver.
The site works fine and testing server is set up properly.
Thanks

Does the little, blue, circle arrow in the upper right corner
of the
Components panel that refreshes the CFC list do anything for
you?

Databases Panel Error

I have setup a datasource in coldfusion 7, which works fine.
When I try to use the Databases Panel and Bindings panel in
Dreamweaver 8, Dreamweaver displays the full filepath to the
database file instead of the names of the tables.
Example:
My database file is located in - C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\myDB.mdb
It is named myDB
The database file contains one table - User
Now in the Databases Panel, I can see the datasource, but
when I expand the Tables list, I see
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\myDB.User
instead of simply
User
I can click open the table and see the fields within
correctly, but I can't create a recordset correctly unless I
manually replace FROM C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\myDB.User to FROM User.
I can't figure out what the problem is... does it has
anything to do with the fact that the Coldfusion Server is not
located in the same machine? I do have RDS enabled though.
Thanks for any input!!!!

This looks like Vista permissions problems. By default, user
accounts
don't seem to have permission to write to c:\inetpub\wwwroot
on Vista.
I haven't (yet) figured out how to change that (I'm very new
to Vista
myself) so I simply run programs as administrator to write to
that
directory. Instead of just clicking on DW to start it,
right-click and
Run As Administrator... Then it should be able to write to
wwwroot.
Worked for my for Notepad :)
I'm *not* recommending this from a security point of view.
Much better
to figure out how to change the permissions on the wwwroot
directory
so you don't need administrator access!
> I've very frustrated. Any ideas what has/hasn't

Well, you bought Vista... Like I say, I'm new to Vista as
well and
whilst I dislike it less than I disliked XP, I find it more
frustrating in terms of security. That's why I normally use a
Mac :)
