CFCs Not Recognized by Dreamweaver 8

Am using Dreamweaver 8 and CF MX 7. All the CFCs I've created
were created manually, not using Dreamweaver. I then copy the CFC,
and modify it as needed for other applications in different
folders. But all apps are part of the same SITE. By the way, the
main site is in a virtual folder on my developement PC, same as the
production server.
However, when I click IN and OUT of a template that contains
a CFINVOKE to a CFC, I get a quick pop-up message that says:
"The required component could not be found at the specified
location." I just click OK, the message goes away. The programs,
templates and CFCs work fine. I probably have a dozen report forms
that INVOKE a CFC (all part of the same site) but I did not create
any of the CFCs in Dreamweaver, just coded them manually.
Is there some way to get rid of this repeating message? Or is
this normal when you DON'T create the CFC with Dreamweaver? When I
click on APPLICATIONS/COMPONENTS, it tells me "THERE ARE NO CFCs
DEFINED IN THE CURRENT SITE." But they are there, and I'm using
them.
I'd like to (but not totally necessary) inspect/modify the
CFCs in Dreamweaver. But it tells me the first thing I need to do
is "CREATE A SITE FOR THIS FILE", followed by the other 3
instructions related to DOCUMENT TYPE, TESTING SERVER, and RDS
LOGIN.
I've already created the site in Dreamweaver. So I guess the
question is: "HOW DO YOU -ADD- A CFC, SO YOU CAN WORK WITH IT IN
DREAMWEAVER, WHEN YOU'VE ALREADY CREATED THE SITE? Every time I
experiment, Dreamweaver seems to always want me to create a SITE.
But my application has been using the same "site" for 5 years, it's
already created. So not sure what is wrong.
Would appreciate any advice on either how to get rid of the
repeating error messages, or how to get Dreamweaver to recognize a
"manually-created" CFC when you've already created the site. Any
advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Gary

I'm not sure, but it might have something to to with your
testing server settings. In certain cases, Dreamweaver looks for
the components on your testing server, not your local site. For

  • Operating system (windows 7) not recognized by Dreamweaver

    Dear all,
    I wanted to download Dreamweaver from the Adobe website. My computer runs on Windows 7, which is listed as an acceptable operating system on the same webpage. However, when I click 'download', I get an error saying that my operating system is not compatible with dreamweaver. I had this problem using both Iron and Firefox as a browser. Does anyone recognize this problem and/or know the solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Saveedrow,
    Could you please download CC desktop from the link: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud, sign in with your Adobe Id and try to download/Install Dreamweaver. If still the same error then try to downloading from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html.
    Please follow the very important instruction before download.

  • Fonts not recognized in Dreamweaver

    I have purchased and downloaded Linotype fonts from fonts.com (webfonts) and installed the TTF on my system for mocking up and building out websites. The fonts display in the font list and work just fine in Photoshop and Illustrator, but when I move on to Dreamweaver they are unavaliable to be added through the CSS "edit font list...".  I have also attempted to add the TTF file as a webfont which does allow it to be added to "edit font list..." but still it will not display as a style in Dreamweaver CS6 layout view. Also I did attempt to look into the Adobe Webfonts but they do not offer Univers Condensed which is the font group I need for a large corporate website. There are actually serveral fonts that I've run in to this issue with, they display and work fine in Photoshop but not in Dreamweaver. Is there a solution for this or is it just a major flaw in Dreamweaver?

    Hi
    You have to use live view to preview web-fonts.
    Font usage on the web is not the same as in a graphics program, normally unless the user also has the font installed the web page will not display the font, (this is why Dw does not show the font outside of live view).
    It is also becoming possible to 'block' downloadable fonts from downloading, as users, (especially mobile devices) do not wish to use the extra bandwidth they cost. Downloadable fonts that use javascript, such as Edge or Goggle fonts, only require javascript to be disabled for them not to 'show', (javascript disabling is becoming common practice for many corporations/company's that allow employees to 'surf' the web).

    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.

  • Sql type not recognized: 'int unsigned' when I expand table in Dreamweaver

    Dreamweaver warning message - "sql type not recognized: 'int
    unsigned'"
    This was happening in Dreamweaver MX and now in CS3. The
    pages using these tables are not throwing errors when I test them,
    but each time I expand a table in Dreamweaver, I get these warning
    messages. Often I get the same message multiple times and must
    click OK each time before I can proceed. Just now I had to OK the
    warning three times for a table that only has one integer field and
    two fields total.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Bagger and Ken
    With some help from Randy Edmunds at Adobe was able to find a
    solution to this bug.
    *note I am still using DW MX 2004 so there may be some
    variation with your version.
    ANSWER: You need to add the sql type "int unsigned" to the
    dwscriptsServer.js in Dreamweaver's files.
    The file to ammend is [your path to the DW
    root]\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\
    dwscriptsServer.js
    do a search for the alert: "MM.MSG_SQLTypeAsNumNotInMap" and
    then go up from there (it is about line 2059 in the DW MX 2004
    file).
    underneath a["unsignedint"] = 19;
    add a new line a["int unsigned"] = 19; // variation of
    unsigned int
    I then deleted the delete the FileCache.dat (from step #4
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19105)
    and restarted DW.
    That should fix it!
    If that doesn't work then search the DW folders for
    "MM.MSG_SQLTypeAsNumNotInMap" and ammend the sql data types where
    the functions raise the error alert.
    I hope this is helpful!
    Cheers
    Martin
    ps I would be using the CS3 web premium suite if it wasn't
    for the fact that the UK upgrade price is (£539) - >US$1000
    which is more then double what US customers pay. (OK my whinge
    over, boo hoo)

  • Extension Manager not recognizing Dreamweaver

    Extension manger is not recognizing Dreamweaver CS3, It did
    have Dreamweaver 8, but after I un-installed that, CS3 did not show
    up. When I try to install an extension, EM tells me that I have to
    have Dreamweaver MX or greater. The EM version number is
    1.8.169.

    Try launching Dreamweaver CS3 first, then launch the EM.
    Sometimes the EM doesn't find Dreamweaver unless it's running.

  • Dreamweaver 2004 MX is not recognizing my form elements

    Has anyone run into a problem with an insert or update server
    behavior not recognizing form elements? I created the page and now
    when I try to make any changes I get an error.
    "Column 'sccb_comments' is mapped to a form element that does
    not exist. Please map the column to an existing form element or set
    its value to 'None'."
    The problem is that the insert dialog box recognizes the
    form, but not any of the elements in it.
    I know that I need to upgrade to CS4, tell my director to
    cough up the funds.

    There must be something else happening on your page. But I
    have no idea
    what that might be. This should work. Sorry.

  • Extension not recognizing custom user directory selection

    A while back I created a Dreamweaver plugin called Blackbaud Sphere CMS (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=2430523).  Anyhow during install it provides the user with the options select a custom save directory for KDF files. This directory is referenced when creating template files later on. It was working perfectly fine in Dreamweaver CS4-CS5.5 on OSX and in CS6 it doesn't remember the users directory selection. Haven't checked to see if this was occuring in Windows yet. For now I'm trying to resolve the OSX 10.7.4 with CS6 issue.
    See how the token is written below:
    <token name="KDF" prompt="Descriptor Files (Save all .KDF files here)" default="$dreamweaver/configuration/Blackbaud/Templates/KDF" />
    I should note that it does crete the default directory however it is also not recognized.

    Bump, still having this issue.

  • USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

    During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
    When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
    I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
    I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
    Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
    It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
    This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
    Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

  • Aio Remote: PDFs not recognized by Google drive.

    Aio Remote on iPad Air2 iOS 8.1.1 - I created a PDF on my iPad from my HP Envy 7640 using Aio remote app. In the files/document section it's there (3 pages) as a PDF. But when I upload a copy from Aio Remote to Google Drive it's not recognized by Google Drive as a PDF even though it has a PDF extention. I have other PDF files stored in Google drive that are perfectly fine. It must be something in your app that is the problem.

    More info: if I send it from Aio remote as an email attachment to myself I get a PDF that I can upload to Google drive and Google drive reconizes it as a PDF. again proving it is Aio remote that is doing some thing wrong when uploading to Google Drive.

  • I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC is not recognizing my iphone

    I am having several problems.  I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC (Windows 7) is not recognizing my iphone.  1) I am getting an error message when itunes opens: "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes."  How did it get locked and how do I unlock it without losing my data?  What do they mean by passcode?  I don't have a 4-number code to get into my iphone activated.  In fact, I've never had a passcode.
    2) I cannot download my photos from my iphone onto my computer because my computer doesn't recognize my iphone.  In other words, my iphone does not show up on my computer (no iphone icon, no DCIM folder). 
    3) This is a separate issue but it is also very confusing: I went online to check my iCloud and I cannot see any data (icloud.com).  But I know that I set up iCloud when I upgraded to ios7 and it backs up my data every night. What am I doing wrong, am I unable to see my data and photos?
    Why is this happening?  It was bad enough that when I upgraded to ios7, I lost my Notes - I have no idea why they didn't return.  But now essentially my iphone is not recognized when connected to my computer and this is very frustrating.  I have read numerous previous postings regarding downloading photos onto the PC and regarding this passcode error and cannot find a resolution, so I would appreciate any help.

    No problem!
    This will make it easy for you:

  • IPod nano does not charge & is not recognized by computer or iTunes

    I have a 1st generation nano 1 GIG.
    It appears "dead."
    It is not recognized by My Computer, iTunes or the Ipod Updater (The updater asks that I connect the iPod, which I do). The iPod diagnostics through iTunes also reports that my iPod is not connected.
    I have tried my iPod on 4 different machines, with one of them having USB 2.0.
    I tried the following from Jeff Bryan. (I don't know if the links from his post have carried over into this post.) So I will list the things I have tried near the end of this post.
    - My iPod won't turn on.
    - iPod battery doesn't charge.
    - iTunes 7 doesn't recognize the iPod.
    - Your Windows PC doesn't recognize iPod.
    - iPod appears in Windows Explorer but does not appear in iTunes.
    - iPod does not appear in iTunes.
    - Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
    I tried resetting my iPod by switching the Hold button on and off and then pressing Menu and the Select button for 6-10 seconds. I have done this over and over and over.
    I have uninstalled the latest iTunes, reboot, reinstall - same problem.
    I have stopped the iPod service, plugged in the iPod, but it isn't recognized by My Computer as stated in the Apple Do-It-Yourself Help. I launched iTunes - same problem.
    I used the window cleanup utility, reboot, reinstall iTunes, connect iPod - same problem.
    I have used the Windows ipconfig utility to change my boot parameters, but still nothing.
    If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them.
    My iPod is just shy of 6 months.
    I do have a replacement contract with Best Buy - but I would like to cover all the bases before I succumb to defeat.
    Thanks

  • Iphone not recognized by windows or itunes

    Can anyone please help me figure out how to resolve this issue?  My iphone 4 is not recognized by my PC.  My OS is by Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.  I tried the various "device not recognized" troubleshooting to no avail.  I tunes is up to date.  I even turned off my security sw for a bit to see if there was a third party conflict...all to no avail.  There has got to be someone out there who has the smarts to show me how to fix this.  Please advise and many thanks in advance!

    Jason,
    I understand why Apple doesn't cover the water damaged phones under the warranty, but do you know why they don't fix them if the customer is paying? Is it just because they want the people to buy another phone so they can make more money? I guess I just don't get it.
    The cost to repair a device and all of its components is more than the cost of a new device.
    Other than the article I linked above, this is the part of the warranty/legal forms that would apply:
    +"US v1.0+
    +Apple reserves the right to refuse+
    +service on products that have serial numbers altered, defaced or removed or that are damaged due to+
    +accident, abuse, neglect, misuse (including faulty installation, repair, or maintenance by anyone other+

    +(including extreme temperature or humidity), extreme physical or electrical stress or interference,+
    +fluctuation or surges of electrical power, lightning, static electricity, fire, acts of God or other external+
    +causes. In such event, Apple may return the product to you without servicing it, and may charge you the+

  • 5th Gen Ipod not recognized by windows or itunes. Have tried it all. Any Ideas?

    Hello everyone. I have a 5th generation Ipod I recently purchased that I'm having what seems to be an common issue. When I connect the ipod to my computer via USB, the Ipod is not recognized in windows or Itunes. Occasionally the Ipod will charge when connected but not always. Though this is the same for the old wire I used and the new one I purchased today. Even when shown charging the Ipod is not recognized and there is no noise that a device has been connected. I have tried the 4 R's (without Restore) which I can't do, chaninging the drive letter, disabling start up software,uninstalling and reinstalling all Apple Software. I have tried connecting to another computer and have gotten the same result. When I check the diagnostic screen on the ipod it shows that a usb cable is detected. I have upgraded all my driver software, disabled and reenabled them. I'm almost 3 hours from the nearest store so that it out of the question. I'm curious if anyone has any other ideas and will try anything you think might be the issue and fix. Thank you for time.

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?
