Building a database site with DW CS4

Im attempting to build a database site using Dreamweaver cs4. I have a database of various text divided into chapters and sub chapters. I can create a record set that will pull chapter one and the first 10 subchapters (paragraphs) I then add a record set navigation bar allowing the rest of the paragraphs in the chapter to be veiwed.
My problem is that I dont understand how to automate setting up 100 or so similar dynamic pages with all of the rest of the main chapters on their own page.
I can work through this in PHP, but not visually in dreamweaver.
I could of course create 100 recordsets and navigation bars on 100 pages; but shouldnt their be a way to automate this process?
I'm working in dreamweaver CS4, I have access to CS5, but I would like to figure this out in CS4.
I would appreciate any help, or links to tutorials that build sites like this.

You don't need to setup 100 dynamic page. You haven't really explained your intended UI, but I would probably do this with one single page containing 3 recordsets. The first recordset reads the entire list of chapters and creates links for each. The second recordset reads the list of subchapters for the current page and creates those links. The last recorset reads the content for the current chapter/subchapter.

Don't worry too much about what DW can/can't do for you here. DW's server behaviors are pretty limited. Start by defining the UI - how do you want the user to navigate through your site? Don't limit the user experience to what can be accomplished via server behaviors. You may have to code most of this manually, but it sounds relatively simple.

Wen site with business report

I need to build a web site with business report to connect ColdFusion server and would like to know what product I need purchase.
I would like to know is it possible to purchase ColdFusion Report alone, or ColdFusion Report Builder is part of ColdFusion 10 which I need purchase.
I need to know the right product I need for the project to submit our purchase department
Your information and help is great appreciated,
iccsi,

To my knowledge, the CF10 Report Builder is free of charge. You can also download and use a Developer Edition of CF10 (this is how I"m setup right now).

How do you redesign a site with a new template that has apps, etc.?

In BC Cafe I was advised to do the redesign in the same site and keep as much as possible of the existing site so as to not affect SEO. I have chosen a BC Gurus Template that fits our needs and the client's budget that has a number of apps. I don't knw how to meet the suggestion that I build the redesigned site with the new template within the same site. I know we will have to upgrade to eCommerce to be able to do so but logistically I am not sure how to do that.
It seems to be that I'm missing something very obvious and that I shouldn't be stumped by this. What am I missing?
John

Let me clarify. I know how to upgrade to eCommerce, I don't know how to merge the trial site with the existing site. I also don't know all of the factors I will need to consider when I have trial pages up for viewing as well as the existing site. This seems like a problem to me.

I Need to build a database/booking and dispatch system that intergrates with iCal, Address Book and all Apple device's What would be the best Way.

Hi
Can anyone give me some useful information on the best ways to design and build a database/booking & dispatch system that can be intergrated through ical, address book and available on my macbook, ipad & iphone and all accessed through icloud.
I started my own chauffuer Service a year ago as an independent. it's becoming a massive bore that most of my time is spent taking down information, checking if i am available for clients and with alot of diary checking and repeatative entries and email ping pong and invoicing, what i want to do is concerntrate on advertising and marketing and using my time off for R & R
What i would like to do is access my information in an app and automate most of the processes like
assigning the job to the client with intergration through iCal and Address Book
be able to email confirmation through mail with an invoice produced through numbers or excel
payment is already done through payleven mobile and must be done in person so i'd rather keep that seperate to all processes apart from a tick box to say it has been paid for.
I have been looking at all options FileMaker, Bento, Automator, Apple Script. to be frank im no expert and am a little confused as to what to do any advice would be greatly recieved.

Hi,
I would suggest that is going to be an involved and complex process.
I would personally look into some of the invoicing and time scheduling software available and see if any fit your needs.
Take a look here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/30/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing/

I've just finished building a new website with iWeb, I want to build a new site, how can I save the details from the first site?

Hi There.
I've been building a new website with iWeb. Its now complete, but I will need to keep all the detasils involved as I make amendments from time to time. Now I want to start a new site on a completely different subject. But every time I go to start the new site, it just seems to be 'papering' over the details of the old one. How can I begin a completely new site without overwriting the details of the previous site, and where do I save the original site details to for easy access.
Thanks,

Is the FrontPage Site Wizard for DW MX2004 compatible with DW CS4?

Hi,
Can anyone please confirm whether the 'FrontPage Site Wizard for Dreamweaver MX2004' and 'Publish Web Command for Dreamweaver MX2004' extensions are compatible with Dreamweaver CS4?
I have downloaded and installed both of these extensions successfully, however, when using the extensions within Dreamweaver CS4, I am unable to see 'FrontPage Server' as an option to select.
I'd be grateful if someone can clarify whether there may be a problem with the version of the extensios used (v2.1.0 and v1.1.0), or whether it is simply a permissions issue that prevents me from being able to select FrontPage Server as an option to import from or publish to?
The Technote 15685 (Publish Web command: transferring with FrontPage Server extensions) describes the following:-
Once the extrension is installed, Dreamweaver lists an additional option in the Access menu of the Remote Info category when editing a site.
Within either the Document or Site window, choose Site>Define Sites.
From the list of available sites, choose the site with which you wish to connect to the FrontPage server and choose Edit.
Within the Site Definition dialog box, choose the Remote Info category.
From the Access drop down menu, you will now see FrontPage Server. Choose this option and enter the connection information for your site.
From the above instructions, I cannot see the FrontPage Server option.
Any help or advice but be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Gary

Hi
Sorry the extension is not compatible with CS4 (was not even compatible with DW8, as far as I am aware). For connecting to the server ask your server administrator to activate WebDAV, and use that option if possible.

Building Dynamic web sites... where do you start these days?

OK... first off, I'm no coding expert but I have used Dreamweaver for many years to build web sites using a pretty basic ms access databases to generate a few dynamic web pages in .asp.
My question is, since the changes following Adobe Dreamwever CS5.5, what is the best way to develop dynamic sites. I want to update my existing web site (www.britishbutterflies.co.uk) and also move the dynamic content to a modern database/scriting language. I intend to build the new site using a responsive layout. I don't want to host the site via Adobe.
I'm sure I'm not the only one completely confused with the plethora of apps and software packages Adobe are currently promoting but can't seem to find any info which provides a clear guide as to what software/approach is best. Is Adobe Muse the best option - can this help with coding dynamic content like dreamwevare used too and can I host the site with my own web hosts?
Although the code produced by Dreamweaver was never perfect or the most up-to-date, those of us interested in doing a bit of dynamic web development on a non-commercial scale could get away with doing so up until Dreamweaver CS6. Now the whole thing seems like a pot of worms and dynamic web design only open to those with pots of cash and lots of time and a phd in astrophysics? :-)
Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
Steve

Not sure what you're refering to in the part about hosting with Adobe. You've never needed to do that at any point, and still don't. The "Creative Cloud" is, in my opinion, a terrible name for Adobe's current subscription service. The programs through it are still installed and reside fully on your machine. The websites you make are hosted wherever you choose.
Muse would not be the way to go. It's meant to target non-coding designer who wants to work with the internet and put a lot of bells and whistles on their site. The code it produces is very difficult to work with or make changes to.
DWCS6 still has its database interactions, those were removed (and for the most part, put back with both free and paid third party extensions) in DWCC. You can have both DWCS6 and DWCC installed on the same machine with a Creative Cloud subscription.

Plz help i need to build a flash gallery with thumbs

plz help me i need to build a flash gallery with thumbs plz
give me the code or the fla file ........ !

You don't give a lot of information about your set-up but there are a couple ways to do this.
You can run Open Directory on your OS X Server and bind that to your Active Directory forest. This will allow people to authenticate against your OD using their AD credentials. This will work (it's better/easier in 10.5 than 10.4) but will result in Kerberos ticket which you would need to integrate to your site's permissions. You might be able to use Service ACLs to only allow authenticated users to access a certain site or service and that would take care of the authentication and control for you - but would require a certain amount of server manipulation and ODAD interaction. From the tone of your question I'm guessing this is an answer beyond what you were looking for.
Alternately you should be able to build a website that presents a dialogue and uses LDAP against the AD server. Almost all the examples of this are, of course, using MS specific tools and code like C# and .Net. But even to get this working would certainly programming (using PHP, Java or some other language) to handle the request and answer from the server and this will be beyond anything included in CS4. Depending on your resources maybe you could create the whole website except for the authentication and have someone code that for you. But it would need to be someone not from the MS world because they will probably want to use tools that are Windows specific.
Lastly there is the web specific .htaccess method that you could use without programming, but as you anticipate it will require you to manage the file that has the name/password information in it and will not talk to AD for information. This is the easy and local way to do it because it cuts AD out of the picture, but that puts the burden of maintenance on you.
I guess the answer is yes this is possible, but it is not easy or automatic.
Good luck,

When building a web site, how do I set up a blank browser page that I can pull html & css files into.

When building a web site, how do I set up a blank browser page that I can pull html & css files into.

David's book is a good place to start. This is really far more involved that can be covered in this forum. You'll need to get familiar with a database, most likely MySQL, PHP, how to send requests tot he database - queries - and most likely maintain a state with Sessions. As you can see, it's a bit involved. The good news is this skills you'll acquire to do this will go a long way! It will cover all the basic requirements of web application development.

Suggestions for most efficient way to create a second app or site with minor rebranding

I've been asked to create a new Foundation 2010 ite that's going to be 90% the same site as one for another division. The current website uses custom masterpages and some other customization. My understanding is that the differences are going to be a different
URL and some minor branding stuff. THey are external presence sites. I don't believe it's using search or much else in the way of services, custom wsps, etc. Very simple sites.
I'm thinking of backing up the dbs, restoring using different mdf/ldf and db names, creating a new app and attaching, but not sure if the GUIDs will conflict. I'm also thinking that what the masterpages call in _layouts may need to be changed, which should
be pretty simple.
Anything I'm overlooking?
Also, apologies for using apps and sites interchangeably, I'm aware of the differences. I was actually asked to create a new site and assign a new URL to it, but if that's doable it sounds more complex to me.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a second app or site with minor rebranding.
I recommend to create a test environment for existing production enviroment.
For more information, you can refer to:

Adding a Second Project Site with same restore data

This is the first time I've had to accomplish this
I have a dev server where I restore a backup from 2 weeks ago to http://devserver/pwa
My team has asked for a restore from 2 weeks + 1 day to http://devserver:99/pwa - I've tried deleting site collections, tried several other ways of doing the restore; however, during the mount-spdatabase I get only 1 site to come back (pwa) but
it doesnt show in the site list
The enumallwebs shows the following (notice the in sitemap)
stsadm -o enumallwebs -databasename content_database
databse site count 1
<site ID = random characters > <owner = farmguy> <In sitemap = False>
Web count = 235
==============
I believe/know the issue deals with the same site ID being on the first pwa site; however when I try to do a Mount-SPContentDatabase content-database -WebApplication "http://dev:99" -AssignNewDatabaseID I still get the same issues - new database
ID but still same site ID for the "dev/pwa" site database
Is there anyway to clone (yes I've seen the other articles) or have two sites with the same data?
I've also thought about trying to export the stsadm enumallwebs data and copying that to a new PWA site but have been unsuccessful in the export (or even finding a way to do it)
Can I get any ideas on how to either
1) Change the site ID from a database backup/restore
2) Restore a PWA site to the same server/database server
3) other ideas?
My team members would like to do a comparison of the two dates between a project to check for differences (I just found out about
FluentPro Audit Lite Pro)
Any and all suggestions would be appreciated...
Thank you

I'm still experiencing issues
I tried the following (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/projectserver/en-US/edc6f56a-5850-4102-841b-32d4df6e6882/how-i-to-restore-the-project-site-deleted-on-project-server-2010-?forum=projectserver2010general) by recovering the data from an unattached
Database (I also did the site collection backup)
1) Trying to do an Import-SPWeb but this was unsuccessful
created a web application 99 -> provisioned a pwa with the old databases -> data appear in project center but when you click on the sites it gives an error message
created a web application 99 -> create a site collection -> provisioned a pwa with the old databases -> data appear in project center but when you click on the sites it gives an error message - same as above
the below while it held promise it didnt work for going against a separate port... using the data from an unattached content database export (link above)
also reference (http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/move-a-sharepoint-2010-sub-site-to-a-different-location-on-the-same-farm-sp2010-ps2010-powershell/)
2) Tried to do a SPSite Restore and it ends up deleting the provisioned PWA and still appears to be there but no PWA soo
3) removing the ophaned PWA site (http://mrhodes.net/2011/02/24/fixing-an-orphaned-site-collection-within-project-server-2010/) wont help since it will remove the PWA sites/subsites from the content database I want
4) I'm still unsure how to approach what Krishnp stated...
unless #2 was his approach
Any other help would be greatly appreciated - I'm trying everything it's time consuming since the backup files take over an hour to restore to a site - while it is faster to do the original when its just one content database/4 pwa databases...
I've read its possible to do to different ports (of course I closed the page) but I have only seen one post point it out
thanks again

Getting an strange error in "PluginPrefix.pch" while compiling a plugin code with InDesign CS4 SDK.

Hi everybody,
Currently trying to compile/build the existing Plugin code (C++) with InDesign CS4 SDK on my Mac OS X 10.5 machine but getting following strange errors.
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:26:27: error: MemoryStatics.h: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:39:30: error: PluginBuildFlags.h: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:40:28: error: AnsiBasedTypes.h: No such file or directory
/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/gcc/PluginPrefix.pch:41:26: error: ShukHeaders.cp: No such file or directory
Though above mentioned files are present at the following directory
/Volumes/../../../Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK/source/precomp/common/
Note : However initially I did not find “MemoryStatics.h” and “AnsiBasedTypes.h” files in the installed SDK directory. I have downloaded them from the net and copied those into the above mentioned directory.
I am not much familiar with Mac OS environment and compiling/building C++ code with Xcode. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue (might be very trivial and related to Xcode project configuration) ?

Thanks for the quick response,
Yes, current build settings include path shortcuts as mentioned below and it also contains “$(CS_SDK_PATH)/source/public/includes” path in HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS settings. But still I am getting the same error: MemoryStatics.h: No such file or directory
CS_SDK_PATH= /Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/Adobe InDesign CS4 SDK
CS_SDK_PRJ_PATH=/Volumes/MAC Extended/Inbetween Extended/Visual Studio/InBetweenDev/Projects/InBetweenCS/IBClientPluginCS3/prjCS4/mac
Just for clarification : my Plugin code /project files are not inside the InDesign SDK (build/mac/prj). All the plugin project is outside of the InDesign SDK directory. Thus above mentioned CS_SDK_PATH and CS_SDK_PRJ_PATH are completely different.
Is it expected that the plugin code/project files should be inside the InDesign SDK/build/mac/prj directory only ? or is it okay if we put it in the completely another directory structure and modify the SDK_PRJ_PATH accordingly (as in my case) ?
Please let me know if you want me to elaborate the situation further.
