CF8 + Dreamweaver CS3 - Unable to access Coldfusion Enhancements

So here's the deal. I recently upgraded to both CF8 and
Creative Suite CS3 (woo!) and wanted to use the CF Login Wizard
included as part of the Coldfusion enhancements. Despite having set
up my sites using CF as the testing server, the enhancements
weren't unlocked.
I checked the Dreamweaver / livedocs help for more on the
subject and
found
this article saying that the enhancements can only be unlocked if
you have CF set as your testing server.. Ok . . . and what if
you did that (and have always done that) and it still doesn't work?
All of my software is fully patched, too.
Is the problem that Dreamweaver CS3 doesn't recognize CF8 and
is therefore not unlocking the enhancements? Are there any
work-arounds? I've spent over an hour checking forums and different
websites without any success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
in advance.

Your question is a little vague. In order to assist you, one
must know what environment you are in. Assuming that you are using
a local computer, using windows (non NT), and setting up cf8
developer edition in order to have a coldfusion virtual server to
test webs on:
You must make sure IIS is turned OFF. Clear the internet
information services box from the windows add/remove programs >
add/remove windows components screen.
When you install Coldfusion, make sure you use the default
settings when clicking through the setup and remember your
coldfusion password. The default setting for localhost port is 8500
Add coldfusion options to dreamweaver using adobe exchange.
Most important parts: Move any website you are trying to
access into the c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\ folder.
Edit your site in dreamweaver throught the site > manage
sites > edit > advanced tab
on the Local Info Tab type in:
Local Root Folder = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname
Image Folder = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname\images
http://localhost:8500/yoursitesname/
on the Remote Host tab:
check the tab Local/Network
type C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname\
on the Testing Site tab:
choose Coldfusion > Local/Network
Testing Server folder = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname\
URL Prefix =
http://localhost:8500/yoursitesname/
You can't just point to http://localhost/ as you would using,
say, wamp5.
Once I did this I was able to use everything fine.

Dreamweaver CS3 win 7 access denied

Hi,
I recently moved the OS (Win 7) to a SSD disk and reinstalled.
Now Dreamweaver CS3 don't let me save changes in the files ('Access denied').
I see that this has been an issue earlier, but have found no solution for me.
Read and write permissions are set on the folders for all possible users.
If I open the file in Notepad and make changes I can save it!
So why has Dreamweaver an 'access denied' to my files??
/Larry

SnakEyez02,
Maybe I mislead you: I did not ’move’ anything to the SSD disk, made a clean new installation of Win 7.
This is a bit of a mystery. To me.
On the earlier Win 7 installation Dreamweaver CS3 behaved normally and saved/updated files.
Now all other Dreamveaver CS3 components update normally, only Dreamweaver makes ‘Access denied’ when I try to save.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Dreamweaver, same behaviour.
The only thing I can think of that differs between the CS3 components is that the Dreamweaver web files are on ‘C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Mysite’, and that C: is more restricted.
I have however added ‘write’ permission on all these folders for all possible users (except for ‘CREATER OWNER’, which does not accept any permissions).
And, as I said, if I start Dreamweaver with ‘Run as administrator’ it saves newly changed files nicely.
And I can make changes to these files in Notepad and save them.
No, it seems as I am stuck with disabling User Account Control to be able to use Dreamweaver normally.

Dreamweaver CS3 reforderss ColdFusion templates

Dreamweaver CS3 reorders ColdFusion template code without
being asked
When opening a Dreamweaver 8 ColdFusion page, Dreamweaver CS3
will reorder some ColdFusion tags.
For example:
1. <cfswitch expression="#response.errorcode#">
2. <cfcase value = "10602">
3. "..Some Code..."
4. </cfcase>
5. <cfdefaultcase>
6. "...Some_Other_Code.."
7. </cfdefaultcase>
8. </cfswitch>
9. <CFQUERY username="#request.dbuser#"
password="#request.dbpass#" DATASOURCE="#attributes.DSN#">
10. Blah blah
11 .</cfquery>
Saved as a Dreamweaver 8 page and then subsequently opened in
Dreamweaver CS3, the code becomes jumbled as:
1. <cfswitch expression="#response.errorcode#">
2. <cfcase value = "10602">
3. "...Some_Code.."
4.
5. </cfcase><cfdefaultcase>
6. "...Some_Other_Code.."
7. </cfswitch>
8. </cfdefaultcase><CFQUERY
username="#request.dbuser#" password="#request.dbpass#"
DATASOURCE="#attributes.DSN#">
9. ..blah..blah..
10. </CFQUERY>
(Note the juxtaposition of the </cfdefaultcase> and
</cfswitch> tags on lines 7 & 8)
The Command "Clean up XHTML" has no effect.
This behavior occurs on every Mac running DWCS3 in our
office, but doesn't occur on Macs running DW8.
If the CF page is opened in a Text Editor and saved as a Text
doc and then opened in DWCS3 as a Text doc, the code stays intact
and is not scrambled.
However, as soon as the page is saved with the ".cfm"
extension, DWCS3 scrambles the </cfdefaultcase> and
</cfswitch> tags.
Adobe Dreamweaver Support has duplicated the error but has no
fix as of yet, so Dreamweaver CS3 is completely useless to me as a
CF editor.
Does anyone have any ideas?

ColdFusion Login Wizard: How do you access this in Dreamweaver CS3

The 'ColdFusion MX 7 Extensions'
(CFMXDreamWeaverExtensions.mxp) could be installed for 'Dreamweaver
MX 2004' using the 'Adobe Extension Manager'. This then gave access
to the 'Coldfusion Login Wizard' available under
'Commands/Coldfusion Login Wizard'.
However, the file 'CFMX7DreamWeaverExtensions.mxp' generates
the error 'This version of the 'CFMX7 Extensions' extension is not
compatible with Dreamweaver CS3 when installing in Dreamweaver CS3.
I have downloaded 'dwmx2004_extensions_for_cfmx7.mxp' from
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
but this doesn't work!
I cannot find an equivalent .mxp file on the Adobe website or
explanation anywhere despite exhaustive searching!
Any help will be very gratefully received!

Hi Divya,
The below code is working for me. You can try with this: This is for currently logged in User.
String userName = "";
          IWDClientUser wdUser = null;
          try
               wdUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
          catch (WDUMException e)
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), false);
          IUser usernam = wdUser.getSAPUser();
          userName = usernam.getUniqueName();

I have the CS3 version of Dreamweaver and am unable to access my remote files.

I have the CS3 version of Dreamweaver and cannot access my remote files. The message says "cannot make contact with host". I contacted GoDaddy (host) but they cannot help me. They said to contact you.
Sharonpacker

I have Dreamweaver CS3 and have no trouble using it to access remote files. This is not a Dreamweaver CS3 issue.
Is your password correct.
Is your username is correct
Are you in the correct "root" directory for your website?
Is the server expecting SFTP (unlikely)?
Have you checked the Server Compatibility button and tried unchecking and checking FTP optimization and alternative FTP move method?
Has your hosting provider suddenly changed to IP v 6 (unlikely)?
Have you changed your firewall?
These are things to check out in Dreamweaver in the Remote Info panel in your Advanced Site Definition.

Never used CF Studio or HomeSite so I don't know how they
worked. Perhaps you can explain more about what you're actually
like to have happen.
There is the CF8 updater extension for Dreamweaver (for CS3
and CS4):
http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
Which adds a new menu item on the Help menu which goes to:
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/coldfusion/
Adobe is moving toward online help, but they tend to have
PDFs available of their docs which the above link offers.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Dreamweaver CS3 debug tools for CF8?

Does anyone know of/have any native or 3rd party tools or
extensions that will debug CF code (like the CFEclipse debugger)
for DW CS3?
Thanks,

If you have installed the CF8 extension for Dreamweaver CS3 (

the CF8 debug tools are included.

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

Installed trial Dreamweaver CS6..can't access purchased Dreamweaver CS3

I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time. My purchased Dreamweaver CS3 now links to trial CS6 even though the link has not changed. How do I still use (or ever use again) purchased Dreamweaver CS3?

I tried to use both trial Dreamweaver CS6 and purchased Dreamweaver CS3 at the same time.
This is not recommended. Only open ONE version at a time. This goes for all the CS6 products.
You probably just need to point your DW CS3 shortcut back to your CS3 folder.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Access counter

When a person clics on your website, there is a way for your web page to had that persons query into a hit/counter so that you the web page owner knows how many people have looked at your site. I am new to the web page design, have been a photoshop fan for quite some time but am really having a hard time with Dreamweaver. I have two books; "Sams Teach Yourself - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 & The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, AJAX, and PHP". Neither of these two books can give me any direction on how to do what I want to do.
Thanks

Hit counters don't tell you much about your traffic.
If your server hosting company doesn't offer you web stats as part of their hosting package, go ahead and sign up for Google Analytics. It's free and the information it provides about your site visitors is much more comprehensive and valuable than hits alone.
You'll learn which keywords drive traffic to your site, which URLS people come from. Which browsers and operating systems they use, etc... ++++
