Apply Design-Time to entired site

I'm using PHP templates and dreamweaver wont show my preview
correctly. Right now I have to select each page (one by one) and
pick design time. I have my sites defined in DW so you would think
I could just set a designtime stylesheet to the whole site or
highlight multiple files and apply them.
However that doestn work. I have to do each page one by one
with design-time. Is there a solution to this?

Here's a link to an extension that will allow you to do that:
http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?CID=61265
Note that this extension is not free, but it's well worth the
cost of $5.

Where to start? - writing an extension to apply design-time Stylesheets to entire site

Can anyone tell me what type of extension I need, and point me at the right part of the API for creating an extension for CS5 (/CS5.5) to make design-time stylesheets apply to an entire site please?
Thanks in advance

Paul,
Yes, those documents and books about Extensions for DW8 are
still very
relevant. The only that has changed since then are a few new
APIs.
This is the best Adobe forum for asking questions. Welcome

Site Wide Design-Time?

I've got a site that uses a lot of server-side includes, because the client has a lot of redundant info all over the place. When I edit these includes in Dreamweaver, the best way to handle it is to use my stylesheets at Design-Time (a feature I just discovered...lol.) But wouldn't it be lovely to be able to apply that Design-Time file to an entire site, rather than have to apply it to each individual file? Any way to do this via extensions? And why oh why is this not a feature?

It doesn't relate to DT stylesheets per se. I just put this out there as an alternate approach. Sometimes, no style rendering is easier to work with in DW.

I am an artist who built my site on iWeb 08. Although I have easily been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. How do I convert to iWeb 09 and is this easy to do?

Help! I am an artist who had my site professionally designed on iWeb 08. Although I have been able to transfer to Godaddy, my ability to publish is limited. I must upload my entire site and it is time consuming. I was advised to update to IWeb 09 (which I could get, I think? from Amazon) because it has a built- in option to publish to any FTP. How do I convert my 08 folder to an 09 folder? Will it convert correctly? I know eventually I will need to rebuilt the site, but I would like to use this option for awhile to buy time. Is this feasible? I currently own a Mac Pro.

Its just a question of installing the later version of iWeb from the iLife disk and opening your website in that version. Its a good idea to have a backup of your Domain.sites2 file before doing this. See this page for its location...

Applying a new template to entire site?

Is there an easy way to apply a new template to the entire
site? I created a new template and I can open each page
individually and click MODIFY/TEMPLATES/APPLY TEMPLATE TO PAGE but
there has to be an easier way to apply the new template to the
entire site without having to open every single page in the
site.

That would be true ONLY on pages that are already child pages
of templates.
Try it on a page that is not a child page, but that has
existing content.
This is what the OP was asking.

Can I publish one page at a time to the ftp when publishing entire site?

I am currently using iweb to manage my website and i changed a number of pages and require to re-publish the entire site. When i go to do this it attempts to bundle all the files together and publish, but the site only allows for 8 connections via ftp. Is there a way that when i publish the entire site that i can publish one page at a time?
Thanks for your help!

Publish your site to a local folder...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
... and upload the files using an FTP application...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Upload.html
That way you can upload individual files and folders - one at a time.

I have a 17" computer, and I'dlike to use the entire screen to view, but in order to do so, I have to press Control + several times at each site.

I have a 17" computer, and I'dlike to use the entire screen to view, but in order to do so, I have to press Control + several times at each site. I don't want to use "full screen."
Does anyone know how to set a default to maximize the screen? For some reason, the screen appears even smaller than my old 15" computer.

Yes, it's a hassle to zoom every single site manually. You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your Global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.

Not publishing entire site with all pages from site studio Designer

Hi,
I have created the site with one primary page & one secondary page in the site designer. I must admit that they don't have link to each other. When I publishing this site using Oracle Site studio publishing utility to a subscriber, it is publishing the primary page as index.htm in the destination. It is not pulling the secondary page. But i would like to get the entire site including the secondary page. What needs to be done to get the entire site. If you have any idea, please let me know.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards & thanks,
Nirmala Vijaya Sekhar Varre

Hi
One way is setting a region in secondary as 'set replaceable' and geting ssURL from the code and link them in primary page.
Thanks

I am having a problem publishing iWeb9 to Blue Host. Program publishes but wants to republish entire site each time rather than changes. Help?

I use iWeb 9, for now, to publish a 1.45 GB website. I have moved to Blue Host and the site is publishing. But, after publishing and quitting iWeb, when I reopen the program it acts as if the entire site needs to be republished. (All pages are once again red.) While it recognizes the site exists, it tells me that it will republish the entire site, which considering the size is very problematical. It takes about seven hours. Blue Host's position, which is probably valid, is since it is publishing to the hosting site, they have no way to help. I really don't want to have to rebuild the site for scratch with new software at this point because that will be a time consuming job. So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When iWeb creates a "site" it produces a folder of all the required files and an external index.html file. These two are uploaded to the root folder on the server by the iWeb FTP.
If the "public_html" folder is the root folder, the directory/path field should be left blank otherwise, the next time you upload files, they will be uploaded to the "site" folder and not the root folder. This means that you will have two versions of your site - one inside the other.
The problem is that most support techs don't seem to understand the above since it is not the "normal" way to structure a website.
The other way to publish files is shown here...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/URLs-Favicons.html
This is more in line with the "normal" method of publishing sites but will break certain links such as in the case of the RSS feed - if any.
iWeb also produces an internal index.html file which is a replica of the external one. Unlike most other websites, this index.html file is NOT the one for the "Home" page but merely a redirect to it. This is what confuses tech support people!

Why do I have to upload entire site each time?

Loving the iWeb stuff, except for one thing, and that is that when I change one of my hundreds of pages, I can't just seem to upload the few html pages, I have to upload everything.
One thing is I am using Adobe GoLive since I'm not using a .mac account and I don't know how to set up iWeb to upload. Even if I did, would iWeb only upload changed pages or would it not upload the entire site, every podcast, every media file, everything - it seems to when I publish to a folder.
Any refs or suggestions much appreciated.
thanks

Yes, it's true....when you are not publishing directly to .Mac, the only alternative you have is to "Publish to Folder". This publishes your entire site to a local folder. You would then need to use an FTP program to upload this to your 3rd party webserver.
I have heard good things about an FTP program called CaptainFTP. It is available here: http://captainftp.xdsnet.de/ The only reason I have remembered it is because it has some sort of synchronization function to its FTP capability and can sort out which files need to be uploaded and which files already exist on the server. For iWeb pages, I believe you have to turn off the "by date" method of detection.
Anyways, check it out. Do a search in this forum for CaptainFTP and you will see a bunch of comments and tips for using it. Good luck! I hope this helps you out.

Ver 4: Still no support for Includes or Design Time Stylesheets?

Wow...well, without either of these I can't make use of this
product. I guess I'm confused at what types of users this product
may be marketed toward, although with the amount of focus put on
Blogs and Blogging and lack of focus on requests already made in
this forum for some time I'm getting a better idea. Hey, if they
want to "dumb this down" and make it a price point product that
purposely sits lower on the totem pole than Dreamweaver, then I
think that ought to be made more clear in the marketing materials.
I guess what's frustrating is that it's touted that it "uses the
Dreamweaver HTML Engine" but can't implement a feature like Design
Time Stylesheets? Would this put it too close to Dreamweaver in the
product line? I certainly don't think so but if it did implement
such a feature it would increase the demographic that could make
use of such a great product as many users are not going to rewrite
Includes OUT of their existing sites just to be able to use it.
Most intermediate to advanced designers will almost always,
and have been taught, to use includes to minimize page changes in
multiple places...it's such a common thing to do. But unless an
included page can be edited inline I have no way to turn my users
loose with this app. It seems reasonable to implement Design Time
Stylesheets like Dreamweaver does in which case, the users could
edit the included page directly and at least see it like it should
look with formatting which they can't do now because of the lack of
an applied stylesheet when opening the include file directly.
Do they expect that once we've written a site using includes
we should have our content providers use Dreamweaver? I don't know
about the rest of you but that's asking for a heck of a lot of
trouble turning non-designer/developers loose with
Dreamweaver...even using Templates.
Sorry for the rant, I'm just a bit frustrated as I really
need an app that can let me make use of "Content Providers" in our
company. And don't get me wrong, I'm a long time Macromedia/Adobe
supporter...just hoped something would happen with v4 that didn't
and was pretty sure it would based on user input on this and other
forums.
If anyone has ideas on workarounds for this problem I'd love
to hear!
Thx,
Mike

Hi. I'm going to reopen this thread instead of starting a new
one. Maybe someone here can help me figure out how Contribute can
solve my client's editing woes.
His site is built in ColdFusion, with template information
that's stored in the database for each page. Currently this is what
happens, simplified.
1. User requests /foo.cfm
2. Database looks up header, footer, and template to use for
/foo.cfm, or the page can use "no template" in which case
whatever's in the page gets put between the header and footer.
3. The template or the page will contain one or more
"editable regions", to use a Dreamweaver term. These blocks of HTML
are pulled out of the database, and can currently be edited within
the CMS by a browser-based WYSWYG editor.
The problem is, the WYSIWYG editor in question isn't up to
the task. Contribute seems to be, but I can't figure out how to fit
it into a workflow compatible with this site!
We don't use Dreamweaver and from what I've seen Dreamweaver
templates aren't going to work in this application. It seems that
if you make a change to the template, Dreamweaver has to go and
update all 800 pages that use the template ... ??!? ... if so,
lame.
I don't mind pulling out all the HTML content snippets from
the database and making a "database" on the filesystem of files
that can be edited in Contribute. No problem. One of these snippets
may be a "contact us" box or something that's used on 100 pages
throughout the site, so I'm not going to put stuff like that
separately on every page.
If I do this, though, my snippets when I open them to edit
them in Contribute are missing their CSS. This is because the CSS
is set up in the header file, which is not included in the snippet
HTML, obviously. The snippets also won't have the header and footer
navigation and stuff, but I can live with that.
How can I get the CSS to show up for my client when he edits
the HTML snippets?
The only solution I can think of is to put a stylesheet
include into every snippet, and then pull that out with a regular
expression from EVERY include at runtime whenever I display that
HTML to the end user. Talk about a gross, ugly, non-extensible
hack. Please tell me there's a better way...
Thanks for reading,

Do I need to upload entire site after every change?

Publishing to a folder, then uploading with Fetch. If I make a change in on one page (and my site has 11 pages), do I need to upload the entire site every-time? I make changes and additions all the time.
iWeb 1.1.1.
Sorry if this topic has been discussed before. Thanks, Marcos

Marcos ~ Click below to read an article "Using Fetch with iWeb":
...it says:
"When you re-publish your website after making changes, iWeb re-creates every file, even if you just made one change on one page. As a result, if you are using Fetch's Mirror command to upload your website, every file will appear to be newer than the ones on the server, and all files will be uploaded again. This is a limitation of iWeb, and there is no way to work around it currently."
In September 2007 I asked the guys at Transmit about this and they replied:
"Transmit is in the same boat as Fetch. There is currently no workaround for this, as Transmit 3 was only designed to consider dates when synchronizing, not size. Transmit 4 will be able to compare sizes."
(The current version of Transmit is 3.6.5)
RBrowser has +Folder Syncronization+; click here:
"RBrowser's sync engine will automatically find your changes and publish your new and changed files only to the remote server."
...But perhaps you would have to buy the licensed version to get that feature:
"Absolutely unrestricted operations in all protocols (Local, FTP/SSL/TLS, SFTP-SSH), *including Folder Sync*."
...you could try the free version first and see if it has that feature.
Here's a comprehensive list of Mac file transfer software:
http://www.macorchard.com/filetransfer/
By the way, when publishing to .Mac, only the changed pages are uploaded.

This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a different Site

Hello everyone. I am getting this error when attempting to move minor workflow changes from mirror SharePoint development / production environments and hoping someone can help me.
"This workflow cannot be imported because it was created in SharePoint Designer for a different site, or the original workflow has been moved or deleted. To move a workflow between sites, use Save as Template (.wsp file) instead of a Visio workflow
drawing."
So basically I have taken an image of our single SharePoint server, Domain Controller, and a client and restored them to an OFFLINE development environment for the testing of workflow changes prior to production. I've put quite a bit of time into one
particularly and would like to export/import rather than re-created from scratch.
I've successfully created the form template and imported. This created the necessary list items nicely and the form appears to work as expected. However, when attempting to import the .VWI file exported from dev SharePoint, I am getting the above
error. If I change the .VWI to .zip and remove the "workflow.xoml.wfconfig.xml" file, then re-zip and change the file extension back to .VWI I get a dialog that allows me to import, but I have to choose a new name and much of the related content
is lost. I need to be able to overwrite/merge the existing workflow with the import. Any suggestions?
One strange thing I ran into was during a test of an export/import from and to the exact same environment. If I simply export to .VWI, then import from .VWI with no changes, SAME everything I still get this error. Very weird. Hoping someone can shed some
light on the subject. Thank you.

Does changing report connection at runtime require the same user/pwd used at design time?

I've recently integrated Crystal 13 into a web service to provide HTML reports served up within our web application. Sometimes reports would work and other times they would fail when attempting to connect to the database. The ConnectionInfo associated with the tables referenced in the reports bore the account info used at design time (in the Crystal IDE), what ever connection was set as the Datasource Location, this would include the server name, database name, and other attributes of the connection.
I found that any changes I make to table, sub-report connection info have no affect unless the UserID and Password match the UserID and Password saved with the report during design time. While generally searching online, I came across several references to this being and issue or suggestion when database connection problems dynamically running reports.
If this is by design?
How would I support customers who want to use my reports, but also require that they manage the db access accounts?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Brian, thanks for the response.
It does make sense that subreports would not necessarily be constrained to the same connection as the container report, and the designer would not persist a password for any stored connection.
I'm on Windows 7 and up, Crystal 13 runtime, C# web service, sql 2008 r2 and up (native client).
After loading the report source, I call ReportDocument.SetDatabaseLogon to set userId, password, serverName, and databaseName pulled from web.config. I then pass the connection info and the ReportDocument to a recursive call that applies the connection info to each table in the report and each table in any subreport.
Based on your description, it sounds like I may be missing, and require, the SetDatabaseLogon call on each subreport (ReportDocument).
This seems to ring true and I think coincides with your description. Would you agree?
Thanks,
Jeff
