BC and Dreamweaver CS4 template file extensions

I'm building a site suing BC extension for Dreamweaver CS4, but I can't get the templates to work. If I create them in Dreamweaver with the .dwt file extension, BC doesn't recognise them when they are uploaded. If I create them in BC control panel, they get a .html file extension and Dreamweaver doesn't recognise them. This means the local files in Dreamweaver don't recognise my CSS and everything needs to be built in the BC control panel, which is painfully slow. Very frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Please tell me I don't have to add my CSS to the BC CSS!

Hi Brad. Did that at first, but the templates didn't show up in BC. I've just altered a .dwt template in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to BC, but it didn't overwrite the one that's already there.

in dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

Open the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. There are two checkboxes there for dependent files. Make sure both are selected. The Dreamweaver default is NOT to upload/download dependent files. You need to click Yes, if you want the dependent files to be included.

Unable to Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4

it's been a couple of days since i tried out Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 to see how they compare to the CS3 versions, it worked fine and all till suddenly it stopped working, so i been trying to uninstall/reinstall to get it working under the free trial limit i still have left (27 days as of this writing) it still will not work.
Sometimes i would install Photoshop/Dreamweaver and say an error occurred and some components were unable to install and would be unable to load the file even after doing what the instructions say...
Same goes for when i try to uninstall both Photoshop/Dreamweaver, i would try to uninstall and would still remain in my program files...
I am completely stumped on what to do, i can't even re-install photoshop/dreamweaver cs3 as well due to this...
I am running on Vista 32bit SP1 Pack on HP Pavilion, i want to completely get rid of CS4 versions and go back to my reliable CS3 again, any help please would be greatly appreciated.

John... if you read what I said you would of caught that i did do it:
"did what was suggested, worked like a charm for the CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 but although it did work on Photoshop CS4. it did something i was dumbfounded to see, it did something odd in which it took out the Uninstall/Change tab option for removing programs (I was viewing it to see if it uninstalled completely) also it brought out a bunch of programs that weren't in that section before and was unable to uninstall/remove them.
So i had to do a system restore point to go back and try again. After doing it two more times (ya two!) still doesn't work, i am 7 hours into trying to resolve this... sigh. "
At that time i said i had done it 2 times, 3 in total, i am on try #6 all with the same results with the exact after effects once i restart my PC.
Here's what it does to tell what goes on:
1) after installing microsoft's cleaner then opening up the cs4 cleaner under admin, it does its thing, it asks me if i wish to remove Flash Player 10 after choosing remove Photoshop CS4, now here i done both remove Flash Player and not remove it with the same results, losing the uninstall/change option on the control panel, which frustrates me.
2) After seeing that i try to install Photoshop CS4 again, once its done, i open it up, try to go to the trial option where as i stated previously says there's an error and can't open the trial page which would open up Photoshop completely but since it can't i cannot go beyond that window.
3) So ya... i try ONCE again to do it all over after restarting and SAMETHING! no uninstall/change option appearing and unable to open up Photoshop CS4 in which i resort to doing a system restore again and trying once more.
NOW, one would think that after the first 3 times it should be working properly, i mean I thought it would after removing both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 it's bound to do the same for Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't completely create a "FREASH" install. It's like it still remembers what messed up functions it still had and what's up with it removing the uninstall/change option? that just bogles my mind.
i tried many things, re-downloading the trial from adobe, etc i never would of thought just one program could cost me so much wasted time just to get it working and it's a free trial nonetheless so excuse me John Joslin if your remark kind of bugs me, I need some assistance/advice on trying to correct this problem, not a
"It should have done!
Run it a few times. "
comment that's already common knowledge for me in what I have already been doing long before your post.

Uneditable areas Dreamweaver CS4 templates

Hi, I set up my website with Dreamweaver CS4 and at the time made the body section editable only.
I believe that by default this also leaves the title tags editable in the head section (which they are).
I now want to make the meta tags and meta title section editable as well in the template so every page in my site has an individual editable area in the head of the HTML code which I can insert different information for each page that will not affect other pages upon saving.
So my question would be how can I convert the locked down code in the head of my template page back to editable regions.
Cheers.

Hi, sorry thought I had this template problem fixed.
Still trying to make the meta tags in my website template editable but when I apply the change below the meta tags seem to disappear.
I've put an example of what I currently have and what I am trying but with no success.
If anyone can spot any mistakes I would really appreciate it.
I have this..

Export to F4V and Dreamweaver CS4

I've learned that if I rename the extension of an FV4 file (H.264) created with PPro to ".FLV" I'm then able to place it on a Webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. Dreamweaver will not recognize FV4 otherwise. Any reason that this is a really bad idea (seems to be the workaround recommended in Web articles)?
I also noticed that the F4V Export presets default to an aspect ratio that did not match my D3s '640x424' original. So I just manually set the output to a 3:2 shape (300x200) and that seems to have worked fine. Otherwise I ended up with black bars on the top/bottom. Here too... is this an appropriate way to deal with this?
I really do feel like one of those bothersome students who just won't stop asking questions :-)
Thank you!
Russell

There's also TextStitch (free) and TextExporter (so cheap it's almost free) from Rorohiko. These tools are pretty useful, but for some layouts "manually connect all stories into logical order to export a single RTF" is still a mandatory part of our workflow. There are many kinds of document (trifold brochure, overdesigned poster) that can't be automagically connected into a single story in logical order. However, if you don't deal with layouts like that, or if you don't care that your trifold brochure exports are not in the order in which they'd be read, then you'd have a lot less manual threading to do - perhaps none at all.

How do I fix lost connection between Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS4?

How do I fix the lost connection in Photoshop CS4 to Dreamweaver? When I save for web and devices, Photoshop doesn't save for web but instead saves to the original file in Photoshop. The image doesn't show up in Dreamweaver's image gallery at all. Do I remove both from my hard drive and reload both? I don't want to loose anything in Dreamweaver or Photoshop.

Not sure exactly what you are asking since I am still a student learning Dreamweaver so I can only describe what is happening in non-technical terms. I have set up files in Photoshop CS4 for images that I plan to use in Dreamweaver as a gallery of thumbs that enlarge using the Behavior panel. I did this with over 100 images, first creating the correct size in Photoshop, then going to Save for Web and Devices, saving, and the image would then show up in my images list in Dreamweaver.
Now, when I save for Web and Devices, save, it doesn't show up in Dreamweaver. Instead, it saves it back into my original Photoshop file with hyphens between each word.
I have Windows XP Professional, Adobe Creative Suite CS4.
I don't know how this glitch happened, I did nothing different and have used the process successfully already over and over. I read as much as I could understand on the Adobe website and apparently glitches do happen but I don't understand how to resolve this. Do I uninstall both Photoshop and Dreamweaver, and reinstall both?
I very much appreciate assistance!

Is this possible with Spry menu and Dreamweaver cs4?

I just starting to learn DreamWeaver cs4 and Spry, I am building a website that has a flash banner, menu bar(which is using the Spry Menu Bar, and a area for content. I have set up the content area with a DIV tag content_column. Now, I would like to have the link from the menu bar, populate the "content_column" with a external web page. I know that I can use the _parent, _blank, etc. setting for the target which just opens that link into a new browser page or replaces my current page, but I would like that link to open in the "content_column" part of my web site. The reason why I want this to happen, is so that the whole page, including the banner doesnt have to load ever single time the user click on a differnt menu option. These external pages will have different elements in them suchs as text, images, and .swf files.
Thanks in advance,
Gregg

Gregg,WELCOME!!! To the Dreamweaver Spry Forum! I see it is your first post...
Instead of using frames (of any kind) to show "other" web pages within your present page, try out the Spry Tabbed Panels widget.
I think it will do what you want. I've used it quite a bit, in various incarnations, and it is quite satisfactory in not redrawing the page every time you strike a tab.
Here's a link to some Spry simulations: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_simulations.html

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

Hi
out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
I did this tutorial with the same result
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

Adobe download manager and Dreamweaver CS4

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Adobe and new to web site design and development.
I'm in the process of trying out Dreamweaver CS4 but during the free trial download, I'm contantly asked to download/buy Adobe download manager.
Do I need to have this application even when I buy the boxed retail full version?
Any help/advice much appreciated.
Thanks.
Marilyn

You don't need Adobe Download manager. The service it provides is useful if you have a slow connection that is likely to drop the connection mid download. Download manager resumes the download where it left off so "theoretically" you don't have to start over. This is not 100% reliable however, but gives you a better shot at it. If you have a good stable connection you don't really need it, and of course if you buy the boxed version you don't need it at all.

YUI and Dreamweaver CS4

I'm considering upgrading to CS4. Is the new version able to
render a page based on Yahoo's YUI? According to a post last year
on the YUI javascript group, CS3's Design View rendering was based
on Opera 9 but it didn't support all of Opera's css rendering
ability. So Design View was pretty much useless if you used YUI.
I'd like to know if CS4 has improved support for rendering css.
For the YUI post, see -

thanks,
Dan

Dreamweaver's design view is not and has not been based upon
Opera. It is a custom rendering engine. It may have had some of the
rendering specifics in common with Opera, or other browsers such as
IE, but it is not based specifically upon any individual rendering
engine. For what I can tell the Opera rendering engine that seems
to be used within Device Central to display mobile content:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/DeviceCentral/2.0_UsingDeviceCentral/WS92CC362A-4B06-4e83-BB4B -C6B5BA379CA7.html
The last few releases of Dreamweaver have had a strong focus
on CSS, including CS4, so the rendering of CSS is improved
somewhat, but I do not know specifically what impact that may have
had on rendering of YUI grids CSS.
A side note: Dreamweaver CS4 introduced a new view called
"Live View" that uses WebKit (the rendering engine that powers
Safari). In that view you'll see your content through WebKit
rendering engine so JavaScript and CSS will be rendered a bit more
closely to what you'll see in a browser. But as always, nothing
beats viewing your pages within the browsers that you are worried
about as they are all different and updated on different
frequencies.

Dreamweaver CS4 Templates

I sometimes get a little lost with all of the different files on my computer. Or maybe I am not looking in the right place. But I have DW CS4 that was purchased in summer 2009. My question is - are there any nice web templates that came with the software that I can look through and see what's there for a project?
Or, are there any professional-looking templates from Adobe that are free that I can download? I am looking for something that already looks great and all I need to do is download it or open it, then do a little bit of customization to make it look unique.
Thanks - Deaf Guy

A simple Google search should get you on your way.
http://www.dreamweaver-templates.net/free-web-templates.htm
http://www.webassist.com/free-downloads/dreamweaver-templates/
(By the way, WebAssist also sells complete Dreamweaver creation tools and they're really good).
http://www.buytemplates.net/promotion-templates/dreamweaver-template-free-download.php
But if you open Dreamweaver and pull down File>New you should see a New Document window that allows you to choose from a Blank Page, a Blank Template, a Page from a Template (assuming you all ready have a template set up) a Page from Sample or Other.
You can then choose from a long list of page types (you will want to choose HTML or HTML Template) and layouts for your pages. And all of these come with Dreamweaver. You will see previews in the far right box if you choose one layout or another.
One thing I would caution you on. Some of the templates that are installed in Dreamweaver CS3 (which is what I am using) and which may be installed in CS4 may be table-based. Table-based layouts are deprecated these days and you should pick designs that are created using CSS and <div> tags.

Dreamweaver CS4 CSS file links updating problem

Hi apologies if this question has already been asked, the
search tool does not seem to be working.
I have recently installed DW CS4. When you open a page all
the related files open too so the CSS linked file also opens
however, if i try to update the CSS file from here when i come to
save, i get a message box asking if i want to 'update links'? If i
say yes it updates all the links in my CSS file from ../images to
the full path of the images and this then creates problems with the
site. If i say no, it then tells me that my CSS file contains an
invalid path and then prompts me to 'update links?' again.
If i open the CSS file separately in DW i dont have any
problems.
This is really annoying me, if anyone can help i would be
grateful!

Thanks for your replies. I updated my Nvidia video card driver and I deleted the Cache file per the instructions in the link above. Unfortunately I'm still getting the Lockup.
It locks when I use the CSS panel for a period of time. What's odd is that the CSS panel remains active and I can edit and make changes to the CSS rules. The rest of the interface locks up. The code/design window the menu bar etc. I have to close down DW with the task manger. when I do that I get asked if I want to save the changes to the open files and the changes get saved. But the entire user interface except for the css panel is frozen. Weird.
The link above suggest deleting the entire personal configuration folder and the extension manager folder. this seems pretty sever and then it seems I would have to re-install the extensions that I have and etc. Perhaps that's what I have to do? This regular lockup is a pain. Like I said the rest of my system and other apps (fireworks, Photoshop, etc) are all rock solid. The problem is strictly with DW.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Illustrator cs4 and photoshop cs4 animation files

In ps cs4 using the animation tools you can draw over an image frame then save out the frames of the drawings. I would like to know if in illlustrator cs4 if you can open the movie files (they could be avi etc) in illustrator cs4 and save the line drawing on each frame as a vector file?
TIA
John

OK
To explain the project maybe you can help.
I shoot some live footage with video camera HD 720p - this footage is to be rotoscoped of the action of the character.
The HD 720p is not 2k res so their ratio is not correct for 2k so I was thinking the line drawings (rotoscoped) bring them into illustratorcs4 and convert the line drawings into vector files so they can be brought into the 2k file size and scaled to ratio that works with the 2k files
Once these line drawing vectors are on the correct frames in the movie 2k file - framesave them out and paint in pscs4extended and paint the layer and save back out into a movie file (avi, etc)
Your thoughts about doing this would be appreciated and which software to use
I have
