Check-in and out freezes Dreamweaver CS3

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a PC with Windows Vista
Ultimate in a business environment. We have a seperate development
server (Local) and Internet server (Remote) that we use to check-in
and out and put files. This is done using our LAN. Previously we
used Dreamweaver 8 with the same setup without problem.
Initially DW CS3 worked properly with this same setup.
However, approximately 6 weeks ago the length of time to check in
and out, or put a file began to increase. Within the last several
days, it has been impossible for me to check in or out a file
without the process freezing DW. Another co-worker can still
check-in and out files from her PC using DW3, but it takes several
minutes to complete a check-in, out or put.
We know that memory is not a problem on either server and the
only thing that has changed on my PC with this setup is Adobe
Contribute being installed. I use Contribute to administer two
sub-sites for two employees who use it to update the sites.
I have uninstalled Contribute from my PC, removed my
Contribute profile from the server folders, uninstalled and
reinstalled DW3, the usual trouble-shooting things and DW3 still
freezes. BTW... I also have the same problems on another PC that
has XP Pro and DW3.
Any insight on what I am missing on this is greatly
appreciated.

Hi - Yes, I have an old version of Contribute on here.
Probably part of the problem.
Anyway, after some back-and-forthing with Murray and a
conversation with an Adobe tech, I got things running again. Maybe
the same strategy will work for you.... and hopefully it's a
long-term fix for us both! See thread:

Good luck!

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
I need to save all files from web and store onto a drive to reupload to a new domain name. I use Dreamweaver CS3.

First define your Local Site folder in Dreamweaver. DW will use this folder to store your site files.
Go to Manage Sites > New or Edit site. See screenshots.
Servers: Enter your remote server's log-in details. When complete, hit TEST to see if the connection is working. If all is well, hit SAVE.
From the Files Panel (F8), click on Remote Server to show the files that are currently there. Click the green Down Arrow to GET files from remote server to your local site folder.

Checking in and out Help Projects

RoboHelp projects consist of more than just the .hpj file. It would be nice if RoboSource could check in and out the whole project rather than the individual files. Is this possible?

Hi there
From what you have posted it would appear that you are using RoboHelp for Word. I don't believe RoboHelp for Word has ever been configured to integrate with RoboSource Control.
If you were using RoboHelp HTML, it is actually configured to work with RoboSource Control and is totally integrated where as you work on topics they are checked out automatically.

I'm running Lion on a Late 2008 MacBook Air. With no other applications running, I can no longer Check for Software Updates. It gets abut half way through the checking process and then freezes. The MBA passes Disk Utility. Thoughts?

How long do you leave it?
Mine can sometimes sit for quite a while (maybe 10 minutes??) before it finally finishes.
You could look at the relevant logs via Console (Utilities folder) to see if Software Update is complaining about anything.

HTTPS and MMHttp in Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac

MMHttp doesn't seem capable of HTTPS communication in
Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac.
When I do something like
MMHttp.getText("https://americanexpress.com");
the resulting response has no data and a status code of 0.
With
MMHttp.getText("
http://americanexpress.com");
(i.e. non-SSL) the response has data and a status code of
200.
This works fine on a Windows version of Dreamweaver CS3. Does
anyone have any suggestions?
I've only tried this on a trial version of DW CS3 for Mac.
I'm hoping to get a full version soon.

I managed to get a full copy of Dreamweaver CS3 for the Mac.
HTTPS doesn't work with MMHttp there either.
Do you have any suggestions?

Div display in and out of dreamweaver

As an experiment, I am painstakingly hand coding a template
using css to create boxes with rounded edges. I have what looks
like an L shaped box on its side on the left top corner with a
small box directly to its right. Nestled in the "Gap" of this "L"
is my main content div.
See here:
http://www.centralheatingandcoolingnow.com/test2.html
My question is this: It displays properly in IE and FF, but
not in my Dreamweaver edit window. This is the second time I have
run across problems with the DW display not doing what I want it to
do. If it looks right in DW, it is all wrong when it hits the
browser. In this case, the main content box is moved up 130px from
its original position. In DW, it is covering my header boxes
completely. If I don't move it up, it looks right in DW, but not in
the browser (it's off by that 130px).
I would like to create this template in DW so I can easily
edit multiple pages with the template. I suppose I can do it
because the content box is on top of the header (which won't need
to be changed anyway). Is there something I can do to get this to
look right in DW, or is this a quirk I need to get used to?

It seems each release gets better and better at displaying
CSS layouts,
for CS3 has been fine, and I hear that CS4 is better.
The first thing I notice is that you have this at the top of
the page:
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
Thats ASP code, your page is HTML, get rid of that, I doubt
it will help
your problem, but it will let your page validate.
Your CSS has an error too, line 129 says:
background-color: ffff90
it should be
background-color: #ffff90
Again not a serious problem, but worth correcting.

Can someone with Dreamweaver cs3 open a cs5 file?

Hi:
Work just upgraded me to DreamWeaver CS5 but I work on files that I share with another web author and they have DreamWeaver CS3. If I edit a file and save it in DreamWeaver 5, will the other author be able to open the file in DreamWeaver CS3? I have not loaded my new software at work yet because I was afraid there might be a problem. This is our work intranet so I need to be careful I don't screw the site up. We save our files with the extension .shtml.
Thanks
Jeff

Yes, provided you use DW's Check In/Check Out feature so that you don't overwrite each other's work.
There are no proprietary file formats like Microsoft Office.
HTML code is HTML code and can be read by any human being or text editor.
The only caveats are if you use emerging technologies such as HTML5. CS5 can handle that but CS3 will struggle.

"New" Godaddy webhosting account's won't work w/Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
I am having problems getting my Godaddy webhosting account's to work with Dreamweaver CS3. My older accounts work, it is my newer (last 6 months) accounts that have this issue. The ftp information works in my CuteFTP8 Professional. I called Godaddy tech support several times and they could not figure out. And, since it works in my FTP program, they said it is a Dreamweaver issue.
In the FTP host Remote Info I have tried www.domain.com, domain.com, ftp.domain.com with login and password. I also tried checking Use passive FTP, Use IPv6 Transfer mode, Use Secure FTP (SFTP) and leaving them all unchecked. The error message I always get is:
An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons: etc.
I compared information with my Dreamweaver accounts that do worked and still no luck.
The only thing I can think of is when you create a new hosting account with Godaddy, depending on the month, you are assigned a different web server. Could it be the old Godaddy web servers work and the new web servers may have different settings that don't work with Dreamweaver? Or, I need different setting information??? I am at my wits end.
Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
MonaE

Hi Mona:
If your FTP client works, then there has to be some miniscule detail that's different between that setup and what you're inputting into your DW Manage sites. Maybe you should print out your successful FTP setup details, and compare to what's in your DW...
If this helps, this info came from GoDaddy's help section:
From the Site menu, select Manage Sites.
In the Manage Sites box, Click New, then choose Site.
In the Site Definition box, enter the name and URL of your website and clickNext.
If a certain type of server technology is necessary for the site to function, selectyes. Otherwise, select no and click Next.
For working with files during development, select Edit local copies on my machine...(recommended). It is very important that they select this option.
Enter connection information as follows:
How do you connect to your remote server?
FTP
What is the hostname or FTP address of your web server?
ftp.domainname.com
What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?
/ or blank
Enter your FTP login and FTP Password
Click Next.
For checking in and out files, select No, do not enable..
Review the summary to be sure all information is accurate, then click Done.
I have a dozen sites hosted at GD, and in most cases (where I had trouble), it was operator error. Good luck!
Regards, Ned

Fireworks CS4 compatible with Dreamweaver CS3

Is there any issues with developing pop ups in Fireworks CS4
and importing into Dreamweaver CS3? Thanks

DW will be a very tough learning curve for you in this case.
Are you sure
it's the right choice?
> I was reading where DW CS3 doesn't do popups.
Where? Surely you are misinterpreting that - it has Spry
menus built in,
but a much better choice even than those exists.

Dreamweaver CS3 Freezes on Mouseclick!

Okay, I've looked into this problem for over two hours and am
very disappointed in the development team at Adobe. I have tried a
number of things to try and fix the problem, but nothing works!
I open a .php file in code view in DW, and when I select a
block of text, then release the mouse button, DW freezes up
completely. It's rediculous. What were the developers thinking?
"When mouse button release, freeze application?" How can there be
any logic in an event handler for the mouse when I am just editing
text. How difficult is it to design a TEXT editing application that
doesn't crash. C'mon Adobe, get with it.
Anyways, I've tried to delete the site cache, didn't work. I
tried to delete the WinCacheFile which is related to some daylight
savings time bug--which is rediculous in the first place. I even
tried reinstalling / repairing the Dreamweaver CS3 installation
from my MasterCollection DVD set. That didn't help either!
What in the world is causing DW to freeze up? What can I do
to effectively "reset" DW beyond what I have already tried doing.
Does anybody know about the registry keys I can set to make sure it
doesn't occurr?? How can an application developer or designer sleep
well at night knowing they made a tool that costs a good deal of
money, yet does not work properly. It's a damn text editor!
My whole day has been spent making this application run . . .
Please, if you have experienced this problem, or know how to
fix. I need to hear from you.
Thank you for your time and help,
Laz

The lack of answers probably means no one has experienced
exactly the
same problem as you. I know your experience must be
incredibly
frustrating, but Adobe didn't deliberately create a program
that would
freeze on a mouse click. CS3 was released nearly two years
ago, and is
used by millions of people every day without encountering the
same
problem as yours.
The difficulty is identifying what causes the problem in your
case. I
have suggested a possible solution in reply to you in the
"Dreamweaver
CS3 crashing" thread. It's a long shot, but it might work.

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Prof CS3 and the web

I am a beginner web designer, but I have search for this
answer for DAYS now! I have placed flash in a html file in
Dreamweaver CS3. I have tried to get it to show up on the web to no
avail. It plays fine in Dreamweaver, but doesn't show up in the
preview (not even the dreaded white box). The white box shows up
when I try to view the site online. I know the html file is there
because the html graphics show up, but the flash media doesn't. I
have double checked that both local and ftp directories match. I
have uploaded the script file and the AC_RunActiveContent file to
the server in the same directory as the local. I have tried
uploading just the Scripts file, just the AC_RunActiveContent file,
and both - to see whatever works! In my anguish I have also double
checked my flash publish settings (played with them to see if that
helped, and then reversed them back to step 1), made sure my images
(flash and html) were there, and gone in and double checked the
script source code in the html file to make sure it embeds the
source, absolute. I am ready to pull my hair out or declare another
occupation! Is this just CS3 craziness, or will the answer be
revealed to me in a dream!

Hi,
I suggest posting this question in the "Dreamweaver General Discussion" forums, as it´s not related to the Dreamweaver Developer Toolbox

Dreamweaver CS3 freezes when add new site section

I've been having this problem since I installed my
Dreamweaver CS3. It just freezes right up whenever I try to click
the 'new site' button or the 'edit site' button while in 'Manage
sites' section.
It freezes up for about 30 seconds before it lets me in.
After that it's fine it's just very annoying to have to wait 30
seconds each and ever time I find a new file extension to add to
the cloaked list of file extensions.
I have 5 websites as sites and so anytime I add cloaked file
types I waste two and a half minutes.
Please help me, very much appreciated any response at all.
thanks
Jeremy,

OK - where is your local site? On a remote, shared network
drive?
Also, what is it you're doing? Adding a new file extension to
your list of
cloaked extensions?

Check in check out in Dreamweaver CS5 with php site

I created a new site for a client that has about 160 pages, three user login levels, site security, php, forms, . . . The client has a staff member who will make updates to pages with changing content but now wants access to the entire site so she can change wording on other pages as well - she's their new communications coordinator and it certainly makes sense to me. But I'm worry about giving her access to the entire site - I've since learned about check in and check out in Dreamweaver. Since I can't just throw pages in a directory for her to access via ftp (have set that up for one staff member creating gis maps), I'm wondering if this check in check out option is the better way to go for us.
She will use Dreamweaver, like me. Although we do not share the same office or have access to the same network. The only sharing we can do is on our hosting services server. Can I "check out" files I need her to leave alone and leave them that way? That way she'll have access to all of the primary content pages, not the scripts, css, includes, admin, js, bin, etc files. It should make life easier for her, too, I think.
What's common practice for this? And how does synchronization fit in?

This situation really needs a proper Content Management System (CMS): Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine all come to mind.
She's a content contributor, you're the system admin. She needs a bulletproof browser-based editing environment to do her thing without worrying about anything else.
Down the track, she'll probably want repeat content that she can control on different pages, content expiry, scheduled content, categories, tags, sidebars, headlines: all standard CMS features.
Using Dreamweaver and Check In/Check Out is just going to create one issue after another.
The current solution was probably adequate in the past but it's reaching the limits of its scalability. It's really time for a new solution.
Have you considered a CMS?
