CMS menu integration with Dreamweaver

In his discussion of customising Wordpress templates here http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates_pt2.html Chris Converse describes a technique for integrating the Wordpress menu system with that generated by Dreamweaver and Spry. (see Template #9)
Unfortunately the video glosses over this but it seems an extremely useful idea as the cms will generate menu items that are automatically populated into the Spry menu and continue to be editable dynamically in Dreamweaver CS5. Perfect for template development.
Can anyone explain how this is done please?
I actually want to do this with a Joomla template but I guess the principle is the same as with Wordpress. 
Any links to training on this subject would be invaluable.
Thanks

The end product for both programs are different. I guess the quickest way for them to do it is to have a HTML website to convert to an adobe muse file. Since they already have an export function for the adobe muse file to html files.
It would really streamline the production of websites. Layouting in adobe muse then gritty stuff on dreamweaver.

  • Integration with Dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I've built my website using a combination of Dreamweaver CS3,
    PHP and MySQL. I've also added a forum (phpbbb), photo gallery
    (coppermine) and blog (wordpress). Problem is, I'm not satisfied
    with how each of these integrates into the look and feel of my
    website, also having to launch into a seperate windows.
    Each has (unless I'm not doing something right), limited
    capabilities to tailor the colors, add my header & footer, etc.
    As these are pretty common tools, I'm hoping someone will have a
    suggestion on either other tools that I can more easily integrate
    into my existing site or help with how to properly apply CSS to
    these tools.
    Hope I've posted this in the right place. Thanks.

    If you have already integrated these into your site then you
    have done a good job. I have no experience of the tools you mention
    but with regard to launching in separate windows, have you tried
    setting the link target to _parent to load in main window?
    For the overall look and feel of your site you have a couple
    of options.
    1. Apply dreamweaver templates to the tools. If this does not
    work then you have a more complex option.
    2. I'm assuming you already have css in your own pages. You
    may have to add your css by <style> tags or insert a link to
    your css file. This should somewhat change text and link to match
    your own. As for header and footer You could add these by using a
    file include. IE, create just the header and footer in separet html
    files and then see if you can include them in the top and bottom of
    the pages you need to. It will take time if the tools have many
    pages because you may have to do it manually.

  • Edit Sub Menu Created With Dreamweaver

    Does anyone know how to edit a sub menu that was created
    using Dreamweaver? I need to link a new page to the sub menu but I
    can't seem to find anyway to unlock the menu to amend the link.
    Alternatively, one of my pages appears to be stuck on the server
    saying that it is being edited by Macromedia Contribute after I
    tried to publish it (this is the page I've re-created but can't
    create a link to) so does anyone know how I'd re-set it or
    something? I had thought of uninstalling Contribute then
    re-installing it but I don't know if it'd make much difference?

    Open the template for this page (Select Modify > Templates > Open Attached Template) and add these comments into the <head>...</head> section:
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Eddie and Alice Smith</title>
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    <link href="css/main_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /></head>
    You have probably deleted these comments when creating the template. These lines allow Dreamweaver to add code into the <head> section. Save your template and say Yes to allow the changes to pages that use this template (or just to the pages you want).

  • ADMOB Integration with Dreamweaver

    I need to add ads to my mobile application.   How can I ad admob to dreamweaver?  Please don't reccommend adsense because it's a violation of their policies.

    AdMob was acquired by AdSense (Google) roughly about 1 year ago. While Google doesn't let you use AdSense for mobile platforms, there is a specific SDK for AdMob that you can deliver ads to:
    Exceptions to AdSense policies
    In principle, all AdMob publishers must follow our online program policies, however there are certain policies that differ between AdSense and AdMob. Please see the exceptions below.
    Ad placement
    We no longer allow AdSense ads to appear in mobile applications. However, with AdMob, the SDK is designed for publishers to monetize their mobile applications. AdMob partners can use this SDK to place ads in their mobile applications.
    Read more here: http://support.google.com/admob/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1307237&topic=1307235&ctx=topic
    And, no, Dreamweaver does not have a native AdMob plug-in yet.

  • Does cq5 provide integration with adobe dreamweaver

    Hi Everyone,
    I would like to know if CQ5 provides any kind of integration with Dreamweaver so that all the content that is created by web-dev team using dreamweaver can directly be imported in Cq5.
    Also does cq5 provides and dreamweaver kind of capability, so that web-dev team can develop their content in cq5 itself and would not use dreamweaver.
    Thanks

  • Using a CMS with Dreamweaver

    I'd like to build a news-oriented website that takes
    advantage of Dreamweaver's design capabilities, but utilizes a
    Content Management System.
    The goal is to build a dynamic site that will be updated with
    5-10 new items per day, and have those live in a searchable
    database.
    Can anyone recommend a CMS that works well with Dreamweaver?
    Or offer any other suggestions as to how to achieve that goal with
    CS4 as the backbone?

    Hi Paula,
    I have not personally used either of these on a production
    system, but
    there are some extensions available to integrate with
    Dreamweaver:
    Drupal:

    Be sure to search around because I am sure there are more.

  • CMS with Dreamweaver?

    We have a very large site that has lots of CF apps. The
    client really wants a CMS to allow end users to edit pages. We are
    looking at Contribute because we really want to be able to edit the
    pages in Dreamweaver for those of use that do coding and that seems
    to work. So we are trying to find some open-source CF CMS that we
    can use with Dreamweaver templates or something. We want to be able
    to use our DB for validation to access. Of course they are looking
    for taxonomy options, etc which we can't get for Contribute. Any
    one have any ideas?

    > Of course they are looking for taxonomy
    > options, etc which we can't get for Contribute. Any one

    Contribute isn't really a CMS. It's an HTML editor. It
    manages HTML pages
    not--content per se (which it sounds like you really need if
    they're talking
    about taxonomies).
    If you want Open Source, I'd suggest not excluding PHP
    options, as that is
    by and far the absolute largest pool of options to choose
    from.

  • Dreamweaver Integration with Microsoft Sharepoint

    Can pages designed in Dreamweaver be integrated with a
    website run on Sharepoint (a Microsoft Office application)?

    I have successfully copy/pasted code from Dreamweaver into

    so the relative paths resolve. I found your post because I'm
    searching for info about using only Dreamweaver without Designer as

  • Integrating Lightroom Flash Gallery with Dreamweaver CS3

    I have been unsuccessfully attempting to edit the gallery files created by Lightroom from within Dreamweaver. The index.html file comes up with this message when opened:
    Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Macromedia Flash Player be installed. Download the Macromedia Flash Player
    However, I have the player installed...
    I have tried uploading the files directly to my server from Lightroom but they do not display. The loading icon whirls endlessly and never resolves.
    Does anyone have any advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can't edit a flash gallery with Dreamweaver.
    To make changes to the LR flash gallery you would require a copy of the original fla file and a copy of Flash to edit it.
    The index file you see is the one that loads the flash player to play your gallery. The message is what is seen in a browser that doesn't have flash player installed.
    You can make amendments to the gallery itself by changing the xml files, although the changes you can make here can also be made in LR itself so why bother?
    You can embed the gallery itself in your own html page. Using insert, media and then finding the gallery.swf file. As long as you then upload everything in the correct locations (including the scrippt files abd the new html file in the same folder structure it will work.
    There are other flash galleries that are far easier to  embed available. However in order to make serious changes to flash galleries of any type you will require the original fla file and most designers are not going to give you that! Adobe does give away the fla's for the galleries that ship with PS.

  • Drupal and Wordpress Integration in Dreamweaver

    Hello,
    I have started learning Wordpress and Drupal. I know Dreamweaver.
    I understand in both CMS platform I have to make Custom Design Template in Dreamweaver to satisfy my client needs.
    So I am wondering, is Dreamweaver having better integration with Wordpress or Drupal for building design template and etc?
    I have choose Drupal & Wordpress over Joomla because for currently available extensions -
    Wordpress has 23,277 plugins.
    Drupal has 19,600 modules.
    Joomla has 10,000 extensions.
    Though some are commercial, some are outdated, some have bugs etc.

    Hello GraphicsGeezer,
    I respect your opinion but I am learning Drupal, Wordpress, PHP, Mysql and many more from Lynda Video Tutorial -  http://www.lynda.com/Drupal-training-tutorials/186-0.html. In my opinion it is very good website for learning. It educates through step by step process video. Totally, from start to finish in details. They have also exercise files by practical examples, which you can use that as practice purpose.
    Learning from video is more understandable that books, because you are seeing and hearing the step by step process whereas in books you are reading the step by step process. Learning from video is near to practical knowledge and learning from book is theoretical knowledge.
    Previously I have learned all from books but now I am more eager to learn from videos. Obviously, you will not get all things from videos. Therefore, still I learned from books and only if I do not get video on that subject. But try one video tutorial, I think you will be satisfied.
    There are also another video tutorial website like drupalize.me, lullabot, video2brain. I don’t think that in youtube you will get tutorial in details from start to finish, probably you will get some fragment tutorial.
    However, may be your opinion will be different and I am waiting for your opinion.

  • Problems with Dreamweaver Add-ons being installed in Adobe CC 2014 - OSX 10.9.5?

    I have tried to install two add-ons (Photo Gallery for DW and Adv CSS Menu Light) for Dreamweaver CC 2014, but I receive an error notification, stating that they are incompatible with installed Adobe applications.  Both of these add-ons state that they are compatible with Adobe CC 2014, which is what is installed.  I am logged in with an administrator account.  File Sync is turned on.  I have Adobe CC Desktop App 1.9.1.474 which appears to be the latest version.  This is on a iMac 27" Mid 2011 running OSX 10.9.5.  All available system updates have been applied.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the add-ons several times with the same result, on seven different computers of the same build/image.  This is in a classroom environment.  Any recommendations on additional things to try?  Any help is much appreciated!

    More info:  I tried using the Extension Manager CC to get these extensions installed and they each failed out.  One stating that the extension required version 8 or greater of Dreamweaver and the other version 9 or greater.  It would seem to me that, for some reason, either Adobe or the system is not reading the version information correctly of Dreamweaver 2014 which is installed on these workstations.

  • Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

    Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
    dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
    sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
    photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
    the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
    english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
    i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
    another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
    menus...
    thanks.... have nice day.....

    This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
    content. By default, all active content including flash will
    display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
    under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
    transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
    not work for menu items.
    I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
    overlap with the flash movie.

  • Problem in submit button on adobe form integrated with web dynpro

    Hello,
    I'm facing prob in triggering web dynpro event onSubmit for Interactive form.
    I've created a submit button from web dynpro activex pallete on adobe form (integrated with web dynpro) to send the form as email.
    Then in the web dynpro view where this form is embedded i have created an action against onSubmit event and called a method within this.
    However, on clicking Submit button this event is not getting triggered.
    Please let me know what is lacking in this process?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am also facing the same problem. i have developed a simple scenario under which user have to input his/her details and on submit button it will be updated to database.
    I have tried the above solution but after adopting this solution all the editable fields become non-editable.
    so the above solution is not working for me could you help me out.
    I think ... try this....
    When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
    This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
    Thanks
