Blog and dreamweaver
I've got another question, sorry about that.
I would like to add a blog to my website. I've used wordpress
in the past and it worked well, but I never quite managed to use my
site design as a theme for wordpress. Are there any blogs that
allow you using your dreamweaver template directly?
Or would something like this
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/php_blog1.html
be the better way to go about it?

Well I'm sure the adobe article will work but you can also
customize WP,
it takes understanding the various elements. Perhaps you
could even use
a WP theme (many are free) that closely resembles your site
layout and
then make the changes from there. I've also successfully
worked with

which is written in CF.

How to share user login and passwords between blog, forum and Dreamweaver?
I have a site created with Dreamweaver. I want to allow
visitors to create a username and password which will allow them to
post blog feedback to many pages on my site, post in a forum, and
provide their own comments into a database I can show the results
for on certain pages. The trick is I want this to all work with one
username and password so they don't have to use 3 different logins.
I'm not sure if this is too technical, but I thought I'd ask before
getting into it and realizing it won't work or I don't have a clue
what I'm doing.
I want to allow blog data to be added to a page with CSS
content by both admin and visitors (to create an active discussion
based on the data on that page). I've seen it on some sites, but
don't know how to do it myself:
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/19/ea-extends-take-two-purchase-offer-deadline-a-third-time /
I can see they are using Weblogs Inc. software, but it
appears the company only collaborates with people they see a fit
with.
I also want a forum and I know phpp is recommended. I like
the interface, but am unsure if the login data can be shared with a
blog.
Lastly, I wanted to allow users to write their own reviews
and then show the results and average them for display on the site.
I have read and know how to create the database for the site. I
just don't know how to share the usernames and password information
with the blog and forum.
Also, how do I force Dreamweaver to validate that the
usernames and passwords are exactly correct before letting people
post under that identity?
I'm loving Dreamweaver and making sites so far. Just trying
to take it to the next level.
Thanks very much!juxtafras wrote:

What you want is a CMS, but your not going to get one for
Dreamweaver,
well, not the kind you want. Something like Joomla can do
this, you can
add phpBB3 to it, and then using the JFusion extension allow
them to
share the user database, but I warn you now, its a steep
learning curve.
I ended up buying a book just to get to grips with the key
concepts.

Okay. I see some people have asked this question before, but everyone who answers seems to give the least helpful answers I've ever seen in any situation in my entire life. So I'm going to be really specific about the question here and really, really hope for something other than redirecting to another site or the recommendation not to use adobe products.
I own Dreamweaver CS6. I have built a website. I would like one page of that website to have a blog.
Everything I read seems to say something about PHP. I don't know PHP. (I am capable of learning new things though, so if I have to I will... but I'd like to know more about the endgame before I put in even more time on this.) I also keep seeing a lot about using blog services such as Wordpress or Blogger.
I'm a newbie. I have built the website, and with the exception of the blog and comments section, it essentially works. But I have only uploaded it to a school site. I have not yet tried to uploading to the site that will ultimately have my domain name.
Perhaps this is a question that will be answered when I try to upload to different site, but - I'm not entirely sure why I couldn't simply update my site whenever I want to post a new blog. I mean - why can't I just open Dreamweaver, edit my blog page, and upload? Obviously, the comments section would still be an issue - but, in terms of just blogging, why wouldn't I just update my page every day? Is that a problem? Are there costs associated with that? What's the deal?
Okay - now assuming there's an answer to that, rather than direct me to another website, could someone explain just how putting a blog into Dreamweaver works? If I actually go through the process of installing even more stuff onto my little computer, from there is it what? A matter of cutting and pasting PHP code into the Dreamweaver site? Do I link them somehow? Is this something the server would have to take care of?
Honestly, I don't mind not having a comments section if that's the hard part. I mean, if uploading an edited page every day is viable, I could also just have people email comments and I could stick 'em in there exactly how I want, right? So seriously, I'd love to know why blogging seems so complicated. And once I know that, I'd like to know the simplest way to incorporate blogging into my site. -I don't want to be redirected to Wordpress - I don't find their information particularly enlightening. It's just more verbage along the lines of, "Download this and all your problems will be solved!" I'd rather know exactly what's going on before I do that.
Also, if your answer is to not use Dreamweaver - please don't reply. I mean, duh - we're on the adobe site, I have a question about an adobe product, obviously I already spent money on the darn thing - please, if you're kind enough to reply, please also be kind enough to keep that in mind.
Thanks!
MTo create a basic blog you'll need to write your blog pages in something like PHP. I prefer php. To see what you are doing you'll need to install WAMP or MAMP (for mac). Search for those downloads and read up. It's easy to set up a local host to use in building your database.
You should first set up a basic log-in system so that you must log-in to post or log-in to write comments. There are lots of tutorials on how to do this. You just set up a mySql database and set up a users table. Give it the following columns. id, date, userName, password, access, and approval.
Dreamweaver CC and CS6 (and earlier versions) have tools to automatically set up log-in, restrict access and log-out pages. These are quite easy to setup and there are a bunch of tutorials on how to do this.
Now that you have your log-in system working locally you'll have to set up a database on your web server. Apache servers are easier than windows servers and they are the most common. Log-in to your DNS provider and set up a new database, use PHP my admin to move your users table from your system to your DNS provider.
Now it's time to set up a simple data entry form for creating posts. You'll need a table. Call it posts or something like that. Set up the following fields. id, date, userID, postData, and approval.
Use Dreamweaver tools to now setup a form to insert data into these fields. There's your data entry part.
Now set up a record set that looks at the posts table and retrieves the date, userID, and postData and set up a repeating region on your page to echo the data, the user info and the post.
That's all there is to it. You can find tutorials on all of those steps and CS6 and earlier have wizards that will build all the forms for you. It's easy. I do it every day. It's much lighter weight than something like WordPress or the other CMS systems out there, but if you build it from scratch you'll need to add all the features you may want to add in the future by hand. -
Getting started with CF10 and Dreamweaver
I'm trying to get some HS students started on CF10 and Dreamweaver (used together). Back in the day, Macromedia had an awesome little tutorial that showed how to get everything all set up and program a simple web app. Can anyone point me to a similar tutorial for CF10 and Dreamweaver. I've tried to get started but seem to get errors on every step (for example it won't let me use an Access database). My preference is to use Dreamweaver to write a lot of the code (initially).
Thanks for any help people can provide,

Will we still be able to write plugins for Creative Cloud for InDesign and Dreamweaver?
Our company writes custom plugins for InDesign and Dreamweaver. Will that still be possible with these Creative Cloud apps? Will updates from CC require a reinstallation of the plugin or will it continue to work?

Those are good questions.
Sadly I know some third party developers already abandoned development when CS6 launched and the new plugin architecture came into play. Given the now standard versioning releases and updates pushed to consumers decided upon by Adobe for the Creative Cloud subscriptions how will third party development and testing of application add-ons work going forward and what does Adobe have in place for this to assist and ensure developers moving forward with new releases. Similar to their own recent Creative Cloud Connection debacle, can developers be assured Adobe wont also break third party plugin compatibilities? Is there a testing and versioning framework system in place for developers for use with each new release of the Creative Cloud? Is a workflow for developers in place?

I have been using Safari for years and have always kept it on "private." Starting two days ago, I suddenly found myself unable to log onto my blog and many other sites that I normally log onto when private is set. This so annoying, I just switched to Firefox. I don't like Firefox nearly as much as I like Safari. What is happening? How do I fix the problem?
Thank you.Might be a corrupted database ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

I was typing a post on my blog and Fire Fox crashed. I lost my data. How can I get it back?
Fire Fox has been crashing the last few days. Tonight, I was typing an article post for my blog and it crashed again. I was just finishing the article (900 words). The open sites usually come back up and they all did except the blog post site. I lost all my article post. I worked 3.75 hours on this. How can I get it back?
Did you try:
History menu > Restore Previous Session
I'm not sure that's still available if you've been browsing around again for a while.
''Actually, you used session restore, so that's the same thing.''
I'm not sure what blog platform you use, but I've noticed that WordPress auto-saves for me at regular intervals. If yours doesn't do that, you should definitely see about getting it set up. -
Can't download photoshop and dreamweaver in cloud. Says Installed, but I don't have it
So a while ago I was using the trial version of photoshop and dreamweaver. I decided to pay for cloud to access these programs but I uninstalled the programs first. Now when I click the download I can't install either one because it says installed next to the image.
I had asked someone on the website through the chat if I would have this exact problem and they told me so long as I purchased the product i would not have the issue. I didn't want to purchase if I was going to have the problem, but I'm having it
I needed this program tonight so I'm considering just cancellingHi JessyaDoucett,
I would first double-check that you actually uninstalled them, usually the Adobe Application Manager checks the system to see what is currently installed, if Photoshop and Dreamweaver didn't actually get uninstalled that would explain what you are seeing.
Don't uninstall, rather check if these products are listed here
on Mac OS
1. Double-click your hard drive.
2. Go to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
on Windows
1. Click Start > Control Panel.
2. Click Programs and Features.
If they didn't actually get uninstalled you should be able to convert the existing installations to be included as part of your Creative Cloud Membership using this workflow
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/convert-cs6-licensed-under-ccm.html
If they were uninstalled but something went wrong you might need to install again from the trial or use the Adobe Cleaner tool as next steps

You can launch Adobe Application Manager from
Applications Folder on Mac or the Start Menu on Windows to reinstall when you're ready

I am retired. In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment. I recently spent a fortune to migrate to Apple. I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still, I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?
The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp. -

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.
