Can I edit open a GoLive site in Dreamweaver?

I have a site that I put together for a charity..I have done it for a few years and the content, images etc don't change too often.
Every month or so there needs to be an update to timetable and information. At the moment I do this with GoLive which is
the programne I built it with. Can I open this site in Dreamweaver and continue editing it as before. Or do I have to re-build the
whole site? I' m using OSX 10.5.6 does anyone know how long GoLive will keep working in OSX ? Thanks Giff

Thanks Nina that is reassuring to know...but you ask why would I want to...
that was the second part of my question...I did read that Adobe said that it was
discontinuing support for GoLive and on each OSX upgrade I think it may suddenly
refuse to work....Thanks for the response Giff

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

How can I edit my iweb published site when the domain file is empty?

How can I edit my iweb site when the domain file opens up empty? I have the site backed up in mobile me, on my computer, and on an external hard drive.
How can I transfer these files into iweb?

Hi there,
To edit your site from one of your backed up versions, place the Domain file in User>Library>Application Support>iWeb & then launch iWeb. Update & publish.

How can I edit a working WordPress site installed on a working local server in "Live Mode"?

Although I can successfully edit the site in "Design" mode, it's pointless when I just see "PHP" icons everywhere thus I'm editing blindly hoping the edits turn out after constantly saving and then heading over to the WordPress site and reloading the page.
If I can't do this whatsoever in Dreamweaver, what program can do it?

There is a DW Extension called WP Site Designer -- I have never tried it.

Can't create new business catalyst site in Dreamweaver

Hello,
This question has been asked on the forums before but an answer has never been provided.
I'm trying to create a new Business Catalyst site in Dreamweaver but when I click "New Business Catalyst Site" a blank dialogue box pops up for about 2 seconds and disappears again. This happens no matter where I try to create the new site from.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I followed these easy steps and it worked for me.
Make sure to run as administrator.
here are the instructions.

Can not edit the index.html site

I designed a Site www.alter-porthhof.de and maked it ready
for editing with contribute. Everything works fine, but I seems
that I maked one mistake: I edited the index.html on my computer
for testing, and than I gave the user domainowner the admin rights.
He can edit everything and it works fine except the index.hmtl
site.
How can I change this? Is it possible to delete the hole
contribute thing, and than to from the beginning?

1. when you use dreamweaver to build and maintain the
website, check in the index.html file, so the lock-file
(index.html.lck) will be removed
2. wehen you use Contribute too, check if you have a draft
open of the index.html file, publish the draft or discard the draft
3. check with an ftp program on the server for index.html.lck
and delete this file, this will remove the lock on the page

How do I open a GoLive backup .site file in Dreamweaver CC?

Hi,
I need to recover an old website. It's a .site file that was created in GoLive CS2. I now have Dreamweaver CC and need to find out how I can import/convert that site to open it in Dreamweaver. Please help!! I am using Mac Mountain Lion OSX.

.site files can only be opened in GoLive. AFAIK, .site is a database file that is associated with the actual HTML, CSS, JavaScript and images on your hard drive.
Do you have access to the real site files -- perhaps on your hard drive or a remote server?
If not, you might find what you need on one of the Internet Archives like Wayback Machine.
http://archive.org/web/
The actual site files are what you need to edit in Dreamweaver or any other plain text editor.

Can I Import a golive site?

I wanted to bring a golive site into DW and edit it from now
on in DW. I assume this is possible and that some things will break
in the process but I have looked at export import info but it is
not very clear to me.
If I try to export my GoLive site after opening it, my only
non grayed out option is ( site Locator )
If I try to import from within DW, I only see 2 grayed out
options ( xml or Tabular )
I'm not even sure it is possible to do this, bring a golive
site into dreamweaver.
Can someone help me out here.
Thanks.

Just create a site in DW that points to the root folder of
the GL site. You
will be able to edit the files directly.
None of GL's special features will work in DW, however -
smart objects,
components, etc.

How to edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs?

How can I edit the same iWeb site on 2 different Macs? I know we create a folder with the files, but when copying that to Mac2, iWeb on Mac2 doesn't see that folder - I can't see what the linkage is between the app's interface and the folder of site files....

The answer is Domain.sites (extension hidden by default). You'll find this on the Mac you used to create the site at Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Copy that file to removable media and drag it to the same location on the other Mac. Launch iWeb and you'll see the site structure in the Site Organizer.
Once you keep the Domain package in sync between the two machines everything will work smoothly no matter which you use. There's a neat tip here which may help in this respect, but you use whatever strategy you prefer:

I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product? We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated. Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them. I am using the Nikon software to convert them

I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product? We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated. Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them. I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs. when is the camera raw update coming out. I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

How to edit a PC based golive site on mac?

Hi,
I have a golive site file I always edited on golive cs2 on a PC. the PC version crashes too often to be useful. I'd like to try to use the golive site on CS2 golive on the mac side, but I have never had sucess opening the entire site file.
is there some way to convert the file to be mac-centric? individual pages are easy enough to work with in either system, but the site file itself crashes in windows 7 and mac.
Using MacPro 8 core 2.8, 32 GB ram, leopard 10.5.8, have traditionally used parallels xp virtual machine to edit, but now i run windows 7. the windows 7 doesn't work as well as the old XP.
I love golive, fiddled with dreamweaver for several years, but it is not for me, so, please do not just say use dreamweaver.

Hi
When you click on View Data, at bottom click on Edit button
It will prompt a connection details tab wherein you can view and modify the connections

I can't edit my site or even create a new one!

I created a website on this computer and it was published - somewhat successfully. The photo albums didn't upload. But, when I open iWeb, I can't edit the site. It doesn't even give me the option to create a new site. My software is up to date

Sorry so late responding. In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Sharepoint Online Can not edit anything in Sharepoint designer as Site collection administrator

Dear all,
I am using sharepoint online and sharepoint designer 2013. Things were working fine but one day it suddenly stopped working. I have assigned site collection administrator to several accounts and I tried on different computers. I can not edit anything in
sharepoint designer 2013. Can not edit workflows, can not edit lists. Everything seems to be bugging out. I have reinstalled sharepoint designer and tried on different computers, all of them behave the same. I checked on all accounts I assigned site collection
admin to, they all have full control over everything. I can edit lists on the sharepoint site with no problem. Anyone knows what's going on?
I also created another blank site, same thing happens.

Are you able to edit site in IE?
Try below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/namkh/archive/2013/04/18/quot-the-web-site-has-been-configured-to-disallow-editing-with-sharepoint-designer-quot.aspx
One straight forward way of doing it is from the UI (Which did not work in my case though :( )
1. Right-click the ONET.XML file ( at \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\<var><Service></var>\xml) for the site definition and open it with Notepad
       If you see “DisableWebDesignFeatures=wdfopensite” section in the one.xml that means your site has been configured to disallow SharePoint designer.
      You can remove this section from the file and should be able to access the site in designer now
2.   If you are unable to get rid of “DisableWebDesignFeatures=wdfopensite” or find the correct onet.xml corresponding to your site definition, here is a simple script I put together to see if Designer is disabled on the site using the property
vti_disablewebdesignfeatures2 and update it as required.

Noob Used iWebsites, now can't edit/find site in iWeb

Used iWebsites to allow for multiple sites with .Mac. Now "New Site" is the default (even if I delete it). When I launch iWeb "New Site" keeps reappearing
(with no files visible in iWeb).
The site I'm looking for (my original site, which still comes up online) is visible in the iWebsites dialog, but I can't find/open/edit it (even when I make it the "default").
Please help! (Is it lost forever...just floating out there in cyberspace??)

You shouldn't have to do that on the Mac or Windows. Only thing I could find that would suggest loading files from there is a tutorial by David. And although I would normally agree with him, keeping the files in a system library folder for a testing environment is really unnecessary. I'd recommend moving them into your /Users/{username}/Sites folder. There is already a modification to the apache server to recognize that as http://localhost/~{username}. Or install something like MAMP that is in the Applications folder.
