Contribute and Dreamweaver

I was wondering if it is ok to work back and forth between
Dreamweaver and Contribute, also, I was wondering if I need to
change my ftp connection do I just need to make a new connection
key in contribute and also make a new connection to the server in
dreamweaver? I'm making a site for a client and they haven't
decided if they are going to host it or if we are going to host it.
If they decide to host it I'm going to have to change my whole
connection and I'm just wondering if I'm going to be able to do
this.

I would use containers outside the editable region to help
control styles. For example, if you wanted a styled list, but
wanted Contribute to work well with it, you could do something like
the following. Tables are also useful to use because they are
easier to edit in Contribute. You could also redefine p tags, h1-5
tags, li tags, etc. per div container.
#my-container{
/* any styles this may need */
#my-container ul{
/* any styles for the ul tag */
#my-container ul li{
/* any styles for the li tag */

  • Issues with transfer between contribute and dreamweaver

    Hello!
    I just installed the Adobe Creative Suite 3 the Master
    Collection for my macbook and I am having issues when I open
    contribute and then try to edit the sites in external application
    i.e dreamweaver an error message comes up saying make sure that
    dreamweaver is installed and that there is enough memory.
    Please help me remedy this issue!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The usual reason for this is that you’re using a different colour space in Photoshop. Try using sRGB in both, see if it helps.

  • Contribute and Dreamweaver / Network Drive!

    Hi All!
    Due to security limitations, the site I manage has no ftp
    access (the entire site is uploaded to a remote server each time as
    a zip file). Also, we have no local testing server so the entire
    site is actually administered on a local network drive. I have the
    site set up in Dreamweaver but we have Contribute on a second
    machine in the office and I'd like to set the site up so that I can
    administer it through dreamweaver while an editor would be able to
    make simple edits through Contribute.
    The editor can connect to the local drive with Contribute
    without issue but I'd like to enable Contribute compatibility in
    Dreamweaver to allow check-in/check out. In the 'site definition'
    dialog in dreamweaver, under the 'Contribute' category, I checked
    'Enable Contribute compatibility' but it also asks for the Site
    Root URL. However, this site has to be administered on the local
    network drive (I tried using the path as the site rool url) so I
    can't figure out if it even going to be possible to set it up to
    work.
    Is it even going to be possible to set up the site,
    Dreamweaver and Contribute to work together on a local drive
    instead of an actual server?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi, Vicky,
    In the site setup section there is a Contribute tab. Checkmark the "Enable Contribute Compatibility". It should walk you through the setup steps. It's been some time since I set one up so I can't recall exactly what you do. I do remember it wasn't particularly difficult. Hope that helps.

  • Contribute 3 and Dreamweaver 8 Connection Issues

    Hello,
    I'm having issues finalizing my site definition at the
    "Contribute" stage in Dreamweaver.
    When I test the connection from Dreamweaver's "Remote Info"
    stage, Dreamweaver successfully connects to the main directory: "
    http://domain.edu" (domain.edu), where
    I upload files to the main site (not connected to Contribute), but
    I want to connect contribute to a mini site in a subdirectory of
    the main site - "
    http://domain.edu/folder/folder".
    I'm stuck at the point where I click "Administer Site in
    Contribute" in the "Site Definition" dialog box. This is the first
    time I've set up a site in Dreamweaver with Contribute
    compatibility and a remote connection, so I have not run into this
    before.
    Everything was going fine until the "Contribute" panel.
    The Site root URL in the dialog box originally pointed to the
    index file of the existing mini site sitting on the server: "
    http://domain.edu/folder/folder/index.htm".
    When I click the "Test" button, I keep getting the error
    message:
    "Dreamweaver could not connect to the remote server... Please
    fix the remote connection before continuing"
    So, I changed the Site root URL to point to the root folder
    of the mini site:"
    http://domain.edu/folder/folder/index.htm"
    Then I got this error message:
    "Dreamweaver could not find a page at the specified site root
    URL"
    I changed it back to the original URL and went back to the
    "Remote Info" dialog. I thought that maybe the problem was that I
    was supposed to change the host directory to "domain/folder/folder"
    (from "domain") to reflect the exact folder that the mini site was
    stored in, but when I did, I got an access denied error.
    I am at a complete loss, please help...
    I am using:
    Dreamweaver 8
    Contribute 3
    Windows XP
    Has anyone gotten an answer to this problem? I have seen many
    threads in both the Dreamweaver and Contribute forums, but nothing
    looked like a solution or explanation of why this occurs. Please
    Help. I would like to use this tool throughout our college
    campuses, but I am loosing faith in this product. I know that If
    I'm having trouble, novice users will completely reject this
    technology...

    OK, Now I'm REALLY confused
    I gave up on trying to connect Contribute to my website
    through Dreamweaver. I figured I'd go back to Contribute and see if
    I could get the connection directly from Contribute. Somehow, It
    worked. I think I went to Edit > My Connections > Create...
    > and entered my FTP information and it worked! I still cannot
    connect through DW however.
    So far, this has allowed me to continue with setting up this
    site with Contribute. I'm still really confused as to what the
    problem is with Dreamweaver and Contribute working together.
    I'm going to go back and make sure that I can repeat whatever
    I did to get it working. The only thing worse than not being able
    to get something to work is stumbling upon the solution and not
    knowing how you did it

  • Contribute vs Dreamweaver?

    Is there anyone else out there who used to use contribute and then switched over to Dreamweaver? I have been using contribute to make sites like http://rentalleaseagreement.com which if you look, dosen't look that great but it organically has 400-500 hits a day. I have started to use joomla and within 2 weeks bulit a site that looks like http://mortgagebrokeremaillist.com But I really miss using adobe because i think they make a great product. Would it be worth leaerning to use Dreamweaver for me in the long run? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
    -Charlie

    Depends on your ability.  You can learn enough HTML and CSS to be somewhat productive in several weeks. To be really facile would take months if not longer, I think.  On the other hand, each thing you learn will make you better.  If you are going to be in the business of making web sites, this is something you *need* to know....

  • Contribute and 2 css files

    I have developed a site for a client in Dreamweaver using css
    for font styling. I also use Tab Bar Magic from Project Seven,
    which has it's own css file. My client uses Contribute and only the
    css menu. He is confused with so many style options and starts
    using the P7TBM styles, which do not work right for our content. Is
    there any way to hide a css style sheet in Dreamweaver or ???
    RJ

    If you put the PVII code in a template in a noneditable
    region and then
    attach the PVII style sheet to the template only ... do the
    PVII styles
    still show up in the Contribute child pages?

  • Can't download photoshop and dreamweaver in cloud. Says Installed, but I don't have it

    So a while ago I was using the trial version of photoshop and dreamweaver. I decided to pay for cloud to access these programs but I uninstalled the programs first. Now when I click the download I can't install either one because it says installed next to the image.
    I had asked someone on the website through the chat if I would have this exact problem and they told me so long as I purchased the product i would not have the issue. I didn't want to purchase if I was going to have the problem, but I'm having it
    I needed this program tonight so I'm considering just cancelling

    Hi JessyaDoucett,
    I would first double-check that you actually uninstalled them, usually the Adobe Application Manager checks the system to see what is currently installed, if Photoshop and Dreamweaver didn't actually get uninstalled that would explain what you are seeing.
    Don't uninstall, rather check if these products are listed here
    on Mac OS
    1. Double-click your hard drive.
    2. Go to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    on Windows
    1. Click Start > Control Panel.
    2. Click Programs and Features.
    If they didn't actually get uninstalled you should be able to convert the existing installations to be included as part of your Creative Cloud Membership using this workflow
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/convert-cs6-licensed-under-ccm.html
    If they were uninstalled but something went wrong you might need to install again from the trial or use the Adobe Cleaner tool as next steps
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
    You can launch Adobe Application Manager from
    Applications Folder on Mac or the Start Menu on Windows to reinstall when you're ready

    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.

    in dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

    Open the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. There are two checkboxes there for dependent files. Make sure both are selected. The Dreamweaver default is NOT to upload/download dependent files. You need to click Yes, if you want the dependent files to be included.

  • Illustrator and Dreamweaver CC

    Good Night
    I have the programs of the creative cloud CC, only when I go to open Illustrator and Dreamweaver says: Adobe Illustrator stopped working. Enable the Verdana font and restart Illustrator or Dreamweaver. When I return activate the verdana font programs open normally, but if you turn on the computer it returns the message.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Use the builtin FontBook to activate the required fonts. As Monica says, make sure that they are the TTF versions.

  • Can I run Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, InDesign and Dreamweaver on Mac?

    Can I install Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, InDesign and Dreamweaver on Mac?

    Sure. If you have/ buy the Mac versions....
    Mylenium

  • I know this sounds ridiculous, but do you have to have Fireworks and Dreamweaver to create a website?

    Many years ago, I had a copy of fireworks and dreamweaver.  It seemed like I only worked with fireworks and created websites, links etc.  Do you have to have both and somehow they work in tandem?    

    My suggestion would be to forget about Fireworks, because the application's development was stopped in May 2013, and no updates are coming its way either. It is dead software, unfortunately. It is already experiencing compatibility problems on the latest Mac OS, for example, and it is only going to get worse.
    To create a simple website, you have two choices: you either learn basic html and css code (as Mylenium suggested), or you use a visual editor.
    I have a feeling you veer towards the visual editor solution, so here are some options:
    - http://www.softpress.com/freeway-express/
    - http://www.kompozer.net/
    - Web Design Software by Xara: Xara Web Designer
    - Adobe Muse
    ... or install WordPress through your host (most web hosts offer a one-click install option), choose a nice template from the tens of thousands available online, and start adding content.
