Can I transfer my web pages from Adobe CS2 golive to Dreamweaver CS5?

I work for a nonprofit organization and we are going to be upgrading from our current website design Adobe Golive CS2 to hopefully a Dreamweaver CS5 and I would like to know if it is at all possible to transfer all our websites pages from golive to dreamweaver cs5 without having to start all over from the beginning? Please help me!!! Thanks

I am currently doing the same thing after holding off for 4 years. This is what I have found out the hard way:
Strip out as much GL stuff as possible, especially GL "Actions" BEFORE you migrate as they will be flatten on your page making it a mess to dicipher later. Better to just add the equivalent DW "Behavior" manually, you will be glad you did as it will leave you with simpler streamlined pages that are easier to understand and also easier for Google to search. And you will also learn DW.
If you are using a template(s) I would seriously suggest that you scrap your GL templates and make new DW templates and apply them to each page over again.
This is the ugly reason that I found out last night. If you ever change  your GL created template while in DW (for example to add the location of the SpryAssets) then along with the desired change you will also have the unpleasant experience of all your page titles being changed to the name of the GL created Template page. This will happen even if you make the title tag editable DW style. However any pages retitled  AFTER you make  <title> editable will NOT be altered if you change the GL created template. This I found out the hard way.
So since I was planning to make a DW template and apply it to all pages on the site anyway I have decided to do the following. Detach all the pages from the GL created template. Make whatever changes I want to individual pages. Then make the DW template and apply it to all pages. My hope is that it will preserve the page <title> and save me some work. I have not tried this so I don't know if it will work or not, but in theory it should.
If you use components then make a "Library" folder in the site root folder and move all your components there and change the extension to ".lbi"; the reason I did this is because while the GL2DW migration moved my templates to the root and renamed them accordingly, it didn't do the same for components.
If you use MenuMachine then I would also suggest that you strip it out. I tried keeping it but regreted it and so went back stripped it out and migrated again. All in all I have already migrated the same site about 7 times and will have to do it agian to take out some GL Actions that I missed before. So don't delete you GL site till you have your DW site going like you want because you may have to make several migration attempts before you get it right.
If you have more questions then you can ask here because several of us are going through this process.

  • How can I HIDE a web Page From the Index above?

    I sometimes would like to directly link one page to another instead of listing every single page in the INDEX. For instance, I have a "Renovations" page with two other renovation pages following.....Can this be done from page to page with Hyperlinks ONLY? Is there a way to "hide" the titles in the Index listings above each page so they don't show with the web pages that I DO WANT listed?

    Welcome twincrks
    You can use Inspector, Page Tab and uncheck "Include
    Page in navigation menu", this will stop the page
    being displayed in the navigation bar at the top of
    the screen.
    You can then manually create links to your other
    pages (see www.willg4pb.com - Hyperlinks for
    creating hyperlinks). Then, again using Inspector,
    this time the Link Tab, choose to Link To: One of My
    Pages, and choose the page you wish to link to from
    the drop down list.

  • Can't access my web page from Verizon's ISP

    My GoDaddy web page at: http://www.dolittleproject.com can no longer be accessed via Verizon 3G wireless broadband. It has worked in the past, but is now dead.
    I contacted GoDaddy. They suggested I try using a remote open proxy. That worked: I could see my web page. (I used http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://www.dolittleproject.com ) I also tried using Google's DNS servers, instead of Verizon's. That doesn't work. it seems that Verizon is somehow blocking or otherwise interfering with access to my site, which -- by the way -- contains no salacious or otherwise offensive material.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Were you ever able to find a solution to this?  I am experiencing the exact same problem with our website - www.bravegirlsclub.com - verizon wireless broadband (3G) users are not able to access our site at all.  They get a 504 error/server timeout.
    I pulled up your site with my 3G connection so I was wondering if you found a solution... although I talked to Verizon's advanced tech support twice and once they were able to replicate my problem and once they weren't, so I don't know if it is across the board for all Verizon wireless broadband users or just clusters/random individuals.  I may just be one of the lucky ones that can pull your site up with a Verizon 3G connection...
    I was also able to access our site via a remote open proxy.  (I tried http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://bravegirlsclub.com/ and https://www.megaproxy.com/go/_mp_framed?www.bravegirlsclub.com).  Our site is not hosted with GoDaddy if that makes a difference... I have tried just about everything I can think of to no avail.

  • Can I publish a web page from my Mac with something more sophisticated than I-Web for my business?

    I want to construct a web page for my business. I-Web seems to be less sophisticated.  I wanted to use SiteBuilder by Yahoo, but Mac is not compatable. I have looked and have not found much, and that suggests that there are no tools to publish a web page other than I-Web.

    I don't use any of the free editors but a Google search resulted in several being available. Since they are free you could try them and stick with the one that best works for you.http://webdesign.about.com/od/macintoshhtmleditors/tp/free-macintosh-editors.htm

  • How can I convert my web page from a fixed width layout to a fluid grid layout?

    I'm taking a web design class (I'm using Dreamweaver CS6, btw)  wherein the professor started us out building our websites in a fixed width layout but now I want to change my site into a fluid grid layout. My "site" so far is just one long page, and I've already designed it with fluid grid adjustments in mind (most things are centered  in the layout) so it shouldn't need excessive tweaking.
    Is there a way to duplicate the site folder that holds my first page, re-open a new document in fluid, then copy the code in and tweak the width parameters for the different layouts?
    Did I just answer my own question? Help - I am new at this!!
    Thanks all,
    KC

    A bit off-topic, but Osgood: have you ever used SASS or LESS? When you are building your own grid systems it can save you a tremendous amount of time, and it's a lot of fun.
    Take the following simple example - it generates all the 23 css classes automatically for a 12 grid system. And simply changing one variable allows you to create and calculate any number of columns!
    //variables
    $desktop: 1025px;
    $large-columns: 12;
    @media only screen and (min-width: $desktop) {
         //regular grid span classes
        @for $i from 1 through $large-columns {
            .span-large-#{$i} {
                width: percentage($i/$large-columns);
         // push classes
        @for $i from 1 through (($large-columns)-1) {
            .push-large-#{$i} {
                margin-left: percentage($i/$large-columns);
    No, not explored it yet, and may never....I don't know. I don't really make much money out of web design. It's becoming more and more difficult to find the desire to learn new techniques when the opportunities aren't really there to put them into practice on as regular basis as I would like.  I've got  a very good handle on css, php, html, jQuery - I'm not sure I want to add another layer at the moment, given I'm never quite sure how long I will continue to 'bang my head against the wall' . I'm getting to the stage where I keep asking myself do I really need the problems associated with learning new stuff to the point of being comfortable with it if the financial rewards at the end don't equate to the efforts of learning it.
    I don't really enjoy web development if truth is known. I come from a Graphic Design background which I much prefer but somehow got side tracked and pushed in this direction and there's no way back now, lol. Whilst I concede Web Development is much more exciting its also 100 times more complex/difficult and the skills needed are considerably more.
    Your example looks interesting and I should think I could pick it up reasonably easily given I work with php which uses variables on a similar basis.

  • Why can't I share web pages from Safari in ios8?

    ios 8 is supposed to be all great and wonderful. But a key feature I use has suddenly stopped working. When trying to share a link/URL from Safari vie email, the entire message disappears before sending is even possible. It vanishes as soon as I select the first recipient. It disappears if I try to enter a subject line. It disappears if I try to change my sending account.
    Yes, I restarted the iPad Air 128GB. No joy.
    I even tried to share through the Chrome browser, but had the exact same result. With Chrome, I have the ability to remove the app, and reinstall it in an attempt to troubleshoot. But how do I remove and reinstall Safari or the native mail app in an attempt to reinstall?
    IS anyone else encountering this problem? Or is it just something else I'm either imagining or doing wrong?

    Of course, before coming here to look for a solution, I tried everything I possibly could, including soft closing the apps, and rebooting the entire device.
    For the record, I just tried to send a link in the exact same manner from Safari on my 4S (which is now running ios8), and it, too, did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, I can't easily reboot the phone because the power button is having issues, but I would expect that a hard reboot would not work.
    Two completely separate devices behaving exactly the same way. This feels very buggy.

  • Invoke a web page from form 6i

    How can I invoke a web page from Oracle Forms 6i. The web built in has show_document but it only works with a form run from the web. Our forms are not deployed on web. Can anyone help???

    The command works except there's one problem. Once explorer is launched, it grey's out my form application screen and I can't use the application parallel with web. Once I close the browser then the control is returned back to form.
    Does any one know is it is possible to launch the web as well as not leave control from forms application. At this point I'm working with a work around to open another instance of application which is kinda not neat.
    Pleaseeeeeeee help.

  • Can display Web pages from servlet but not applet?

    I have been able to display real-world Web pages from a simple servlet using JDeveloper 3.0, but can't figure out how to do the same from an applet. Any hints?

    My previous post had the detail...Probably a simple question from a relative novice. I'm having a problem just viewing web pages by calling them from a "list" of URLs in an applet. I built an applet with a split pane that has a JTree on one side and an "HTML viewing pane" on the other. I can click JTree nodes to display local html files, but I don't understand how to display web pages from the Internet. Do I need something like HyperlinkListener to make the jump to "hyper-world"???

  • How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe?

    How can I print a web page to a hard copy with Adobe? When I print this particular page in the usual way it prints only the text of that page, not the photo that's also part of that page.

    I have Adobe SendNow, but I can buy another Adobe product if it will solve my web page printing problem.
