• Making a forum in dreamweaver.

  I am trying to make a forum script in dreamweaver. I know it
  is possible because someone i know did it. Is there any tutorials
  on how to make a forum with dreamweaver? I am stuck.

  Not sure why you would want to re-invent the wheel and have
  no hair left by the time you tried to
  get this done :-) There are many open source forum apps
  available.
  However, I believe I may have seen a tutorial over at the
  Adobe Dreamweaver site some time ago about
  creating a forum.

• Trying to create website in Dreamweaver on PC

  Hello everyone!
  I am really in need of help. After viewing several tutorials for creating websites in Dreamweaver and even registering for a paid subscription to lynda.com and viewing those tutorials, I am still unable to create a website using Dreamweaver. I think that it has something to do with my PC. When ever I try to create a new folder, my computer will not allow me to. I am frustrated about it and I dont know what to do. Someone please help. I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Gateway PC. Again please help!

  Please repost in the Dreamweaver forum.

• Forum in Dreamweaver

  Hey, im looking for step by step instructions on how to
  create a forum in dreamweaver.

  As Dooza expressed, there's no easy way to "create" a forum.
  Even Adobe uses third party software to power their own forums.
  PHPBB, which is my personal favorite, is a fully fledged
  application that is made up of hundreds of files and tens of
  thousands of lines of code. It's taken thousands of hours and
  dozens of people to create - no easy task for sure. But since it's
  an open source product you're free to install it and "skin" it to
  look like whatever you want. There's countless guides available on
  doing just that if you search Google. As an added bonus the user
  community for PHPBB is huge and can help you get over a lot of
  issues you might run into.

• Do you need CS6 to have a computer forum in Dreamweaver

  I was told by an Adobe Live Chat Representative that I needed to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 if I wanted to add a forum to my website.
  When I tried to learn how, I found an earlier forum discussion that said you can't make a forum directly in Dreamweaver unless you can hand-program in PHP or SQL. Instead you have to use an outside software package (such as phpBB) and integrate it into your existing website. So I need to know:
  1) Can you create forums using the tools available in CS6?
  2) Can you integrate a forum desgined using a package such as phpBB into a Website designed in CS6?
  3) Do I have to upgrade to CS6, or can I accomplish the same thing with CS4?
  Thank you in advance for your assistance.

  You need to find the Dreamweaver forum... this forum is not made to discuss products

• Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver

  Hello,
  I am having trouble creating a form in Dreamweaver for my website.  The form is fairly basic, just some contact/comment input required.
  I created my webpages using Fireworks CS4 and exported them as HTML and Images.  The basic format of my website is to have a rectangular block in the middle of the page, where the form elements are supposed to be entered.  However, it seems that I cannot simply add a textbox or textarea to the middle of my page.  If I try, everything gets shifted around very strangely.
  How can I leave the format of the page intact, but add in the form elements (name, email, comments)?
  You can see the page here: http://www.wafflesnjoe.com/preview/contact.htm
  Thank you

  Thanks Murray, I had a feeling that that's where I'd be headed.
  Is there a more seamless way of transferring webpages from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, such as CSS and Images, that would make it easier for me to work in Dreamweaver?
  Would you recommend building websites in Dreamweaver, and not bother with Fireworks?
  Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a newbie.

  Subject: Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver
  I'm not very familiar with Dreamweaver, so this may be a basic question to ask.
  The trick is to be familiar with HTML, not DW, since HTML underlies everything that DW does, and that you want to do on a web page.
  To add a form to a page without disrupting the layout of the page, you have to a) select a layout design that constitutes good practice, and b) build the layout so that it accommodates the form.  I know that's not a very satisfactory answer.
  First of all, unless you are fairly familiar with HTML, your layout will not be easy to implement because you will need to constrain the form and its elements to fit vertically within that central area.  This is not so easy because you have no way of controlling how large or small I (as a visitor) am displaying my text in my browser.  Thus, that form's content is going to expand or contract vertically causing the boxed area to need to expand or contract accordingly.  This is layout 101 for an experienced developer, but may just push you over the edge if you have no HTML under your belt.  So, I would discourage you from trying to use this design.  Is that possible?

• I want to create Forum Using flex

  Hai friends,
  I want to creat forum using adobe flex, if anybody have done forum site tell me some idea.......

  i was wondering what you
  would suggest as being the easiest to use and set up,
  as i am not really familiar with these programs yet.
  I'm not either, but Apple has info on installing two of them:
  http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
  http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html
  Do you suggest that i find someone who knows what
  they are doing to go through it with me, or does
  anyone have a detailed step by step guide to setting
  up a forum on a website?
  Perhaps someone will come forward with a good reference. Most people who want forums probably use ready made ones available from various hosts and just link to them from their site.

• How to share user login and passwords between blog, forum and Dreamweaver?

  I have a site created with Dreamweaver. I want to allow
  visitors to create a username and password which will allow them to
  post blog feedback to many pages on my site, post in a forum, and
  provide their own comments into a database I can show the results
  for on certain pages. The trick is I want this to all work with one
  username and password so they don't have to use 3 different logins.
  I'm not sure if this is too technical, but I thought I'd ask before
  getting into it and realizing it won't work or I don't have a clue
  what I'm doing.
  I want to allow blog data to be added to a page with CSS
  content by both admin and visitors (to create an active discussion
  based on the data on that page). I've seen it on some sites, but
  don't know how to do it myself:
  http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/19/ea-extends-take-two-purchase-offer-deadline-a-third-time /
  I can see they are using Weblogs Inc. software, but it
  appears the company only collaborates with people they see a fit
  with.
  I also want a forum and I know phpp is recommended. I like
  the interface, but am unsure if the login data can be shared with a
  blog.
  Lastly, I wanted to allow users to write their own reviews
  and then show the results and average them for display on the site.
  I have read and know how to create the database for the site. I
  just don't know how to share the usernames and password information
  with the blog and forum.
  Also, how do I force Dreamweaver to validate that the
  usernames and passwords are exactly correct before letting people
  post under that identity?
  I'm loving Dreamweaver and making sites so far. Just trying
  to take it to the next level.
  Thanks very much!

  What you want is a CMS, but your not going to get one for
  Dreamweaver,
  well, not the kind you want. Something like Joomla can do
  this, you can
  add phpBB3 to it, and then using the JFusion extension allow
  them to
  share the user database, but I warn you now, its a steep
  learning curve.
  I ended up buying a book just to get to grips with the key
  concepts.

• Creating forms with dreamweaver

  Hi i'm new to the forum.
  I need help with a certain aspect in creating forms.  The company I work for is running Dreamweaver MX 2004.  We have an online application form that we have create to collect data for people wishing to join our Club.  In one section of the form we ask for peoples vehicle details.  My question is when they choose what type of vehicle they own from the drop down menu I then want the next section of the form to expand to reveal a new section for them to be able to fill in their vehicle description such as Year, Make, Model etc.  We have 7 different vehicle types for them to choose from.  so depedning on which one you choose a different vehicle description will be revealed.
  Can anyone help me with this?  I have seen it done on other website such as insurance companies but I don't know if it can be done through dreamweaver.

  Let me try to answer this on a broader level.
  Prepeare your complete form and make the property visibility as hidden (or display style as none) for the fields you don't want to show.
  Now say you select any option out of vehicle description drop down, for example 'Sedan', then your drop down will have a javascript function call which will be fired onChange event ...something like  onchange=javascript:vehicletype(this.value)
  <select name="test" id="test" onchange="vehicletype()">
            <option value="sedan">Sedan</option>
  and hidden fields example:
  <input type="text" name="sss" id="sss"  style="visibility:hidden" />
  Now in the vehicletype() function check for the value passed.Based on that set the visibilty to visible  for the required form fields inside the function. Following is a small page to show you all. Just save this as a html page and then try.
  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
  <html>
  <head>
  <title>Stretched Background Image</title>
  <script type="text/javascript">
  function vehicletype(type){
      if (type=='sedan'){
      alert(type);
      document.getElementById('sss').style.visibility='visible';
  </script>
  </head>
  <body>
      <div id="page-background">
        <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
          <p>
            <label for="hhh"></label>
            <select name="hhh" id="hhh" onchange="javascript:vehicletype(this.value);">
              <option value="Select">---Select---</option>
              <option value="sedan">sedan</option>
              <option value="coupe">coupe</option>
            </select>
          </p>
          <p>
            <label for="sss"></label>
            <input type="text" name="sss" id="sss"  style="visibility:hidden" />
          </p>
        </form>
  </div>
  </body>
  </html>
  Hope this gives you some idea of what I am tryint to convey.

  Firstly check with your host. Somethimes, they have a script
  that you can use diretly from their control panel. If not,
  then check with
  them what they
  support, asp, php etc.,
  Here are a few links for different server models - take your
  pick :) All
  come with help docs or help forums, so getting one online
  shouldn't be too
  difficult to a non programmer.
  ASP

• Forum Extension - Dreamweaver CS3

  I am looking for a Forum extension for CS3.
  The following would be ideal...
  Originator of thread could choose to receive an email each time there is a new entry to their thread.
  Each user to have to register before either originating a thread or posting a response to a thread.
  Administrator able to delete posts if unacceptable content.
  Administrator to be able to blacklist a given user.
  System to email a password to a new user, but user able to update that password once logged in.
  There seems to be 1 forum available in Adobe Exchange, but there seems to be little detail available, and little feedback posted other than potential buyers requesting more detail !
  Can anyone suggest a forum extension that they have used and works well ?
  Thanks.
  Dean

  DW does not have built in blog software. As for how to do
  Blogger,
  sign up for an account and give it a try, it's quite simple.

• To create forum page

  I need to create a forum page using dreamweaver 4.
  anyone knows how to?
  I appreciate a step by step instruction.

  Building your own forum is a huge task. Much easier to use
  one of the
  ready made ones, e.g. vbulletin, phpbb, snitz, webwiz forum,
  Check what server-side language your server runs and try one
  of these.

• Problems with creating Newsletter in Dreamweaver

  Hey everyone, I'm having few problems in creating my newsletter in Dreamweaver.  I hope someone can help me!
  1. My html layout is different when I preview in different browsers. I know it is quite common to happen, but I dont know how to fix mine. It works fine in Safari and Chrome but the images and text are incorrect in Explorer and Firefox for example. How can I fix that? Here is the link so you all can look at it: http://www.ntgblog.com/Images/newsletter3.html
  2. Another little thing I notice was Dreamweaver gives me a msg when I asked to check compatibility and I can see that the text "NTG monthly newsletter.." is not align in the bottom, why? How do I fix it?:
  Support for the top, text-top, middle, bottom, and text-bottom values of the CSS property vertical-align is incomplete; these values may not produce the intended effect.
  Affects: Internet Explorer for Macintosh 5.2
  I think that's it for now. I really need to show it to my client tomorrow, so hopefully someone can help!
  Thanks you very much!
  Karen

  First, don't test IE for Mac.  It hasn't been supported in years and hasn't worked since Tiger I think or maybe Leopard.  Also if you plan on emailing, get it into an ESP or something so you can send to the client to show them how it will look in different email clients.  For instance, since your a:hover is in the head of your code, GMail will ignore it.

• Problem Creating Recordset in Dreamweaver CS5.5

  Can you help?
  I am having with recordsets in Dreamweaver CS5.5, or rather the sudden (I don’t know why this has suddenly happened) inability to create one. 
  When I try to create a recordset query I get this error message and am prevented from creating said recordset -
  While executing onBlur in ServerBeh-PHP-SimpRS.htm the following javascript
  error occured:
  In file ServerBeh-PHP-SimpRS
  Update UI is not defined
  I have tried re-installign Dreamwear to no avail

  This worked for me.
  Step One
  Remote Server Settings
  Server Name: *Insert Name
  Connect using: FTP
  FTP Address: yourdomain.com
  Username: yourusername
  Password: yourpassword
  Root:
  Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
  Step Two
  Testing Server Settings
  Server Name: *Insert Name
  Connect using: FTP
  FTP Address: yourdomain.com
  Username: yourusername
  Password: yourpassword
  Root:
  Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
  Click on the Advanced tab
  Testing server
  Server Model: PHP MySQL
  Step Three (this is the tricky part, lol)
  Click on file, then click New.
  Create a NEW, I repeat... NEW PHP page.
  Let it sit.
  Step Four
  Now enter your remote SQL settings.
  Not sure why... but this worked for me after HOURS of:
  "An unidentified error has occurred"
