Designing a blog with dreamweaver

Hi,
I was wondering the difficulty level of designing a blog for my website in dreamweaver. What pointers are there for me to do this? Thank you in advance!

Right, I understand I can edit the CSS of a theme. I wanted to use the one I created in dreamweaver, I didn't know if I could incorporate this into my existing WP theme. If I wanted to ignore WP for a second and just link my dreamweaver blog template to my site, is this a normal thing to do? I'm not sure if I'm missing more aspects of creating a blog page. I have no PHP or mysql experience, its just CSS and HTML coding.
I'm really not sure I understand what you are asking here. If you have created a layout template in DW, you can certainly spawn a "blog" child page from it. But that child page will not function as a 'blog' until you add oodles of other server scripting. That's why it's much easier to use Wordpress for your blog functionality, and select a theme which can be adapted (using CSS and PHP) to look like the rest of your site. Alternatively, you can use a simple theme, use CSS to hide EVERYTHING except the content, and pull the theme's home page up into an IFRAME on your blog page.

Blogging with Dreamweaver.

Okay. I see some people have asked this question before, but everyone who answers seems to give the least helpful answers I've ever seen in any situation in my entire life. So I'm going to be really specific about the question here and really, really hope for something other than redirecting to another site or the recommendation not to use adobe products.
I own Dreamweaver CS6. I have built a website. I would like one page of that website to have a blog.
Everything I read seems to say something about PHP. I don't know PHP. (I am capable of learning new things though, so if I have to I will... but I'd like to know more about the endgame before I put in even more time on this.) I also keep seeing a lot about using blog services such as Wordpress or Blogger.
I'm a newbie. I have built the website, and with the exception of the blog and comments section, it essentially works. But I have only uploaded it to a school site. I have not yet tried to uploading to the site that will ultimately have my domain name.
Perhaps this is a question that will be answered when I try to upload to different site, but - I'm not entirely sure why I couldn't simply update my site whenever I want to post a new blog. I mean - why can't I just open Dreamweaver, edit my blog page, and upload? Obviously, the comments section would still be an issue - but, in terms of just blogging, why wouldn't I just update my page every day? Is that a problem? Are there costs associated with that? What's the deal?
Okay - now assuming there's an answer to that, rather than direct me to another website, could someone explain just how putting a blog into Dreamweaver works? If I actually go through the process of installing even more stuff onto my little computer, from there is it what? A matter of cutting and pasting PHP code into the Dreamweaver site? Do I link them somehow? Is this something the server would have to take care of?
Honestly, I don't mind not having a comments section if that's the hard part. I mean, if uploading an edited page every day is viable, I could also just have people email comments and I could stick 'em in there exactly how I want, right? So seriously, I'd love to know why blogging seems so complicated. And once I know that, I'd like to know the simplest way to incorporate blogging into my site. -I don't want to be redirected to Wordpress - I don't find their information particularly enlightening. It's just more verbage along the lines of, "Download this and all your problems will be solved!" I'd rather know exactly what's going on before I do that.
Also, if your answer is to not use Dreamweaver - please don't reply. I mean, duh - we're on the adobe site, I have a question about an adobe product, obviously I already spent money on the darn thing - please, if you're kind enough to reply, please also be kind enough to keep that in mind.
Thanks!

To create a basic blog you'll need to write your blog pages in something like PHP. I prefer php. To see what you are doing you'll need to install WAMP or MAMP (for mac). Search for those downloads and read up. It's easy to set up a local host to use in building your database.
You should first set up a basic log-in system so that you must log-in to post or log-in to write comments. There are lots of tutorials on how to do this. You just set up a mySql database and set up a users table. Give it the following columns. id, date, userName, password, access, and approval.
Dreamweaver CC and CS6 (and earlier versions) have tools to automatically set up log-in, restrict access and log-out pages. These are quite easy to setup and there are a bunch of tutorials on how to do this.
Now that you have your log-in system working locally you'll have to set up a database on your web server. Apache servers are easier than windows servers and they are the most common. Log-in to your DNS provider and set up a new database, use PHP my admin to move your users table from your system to your DNS provider.
Now it's time to set up a simple data entry form for creating posts. You'll need a table. Call it posts or something like that. Set up the following fields. id, date, userID, postData, and approval.
Use Dreamweaver tools to now setup a form to insert data into these fields. There's your data entry part.
Now set up a record set that looks at the posts table and retrieves the date, userID, and postData and set up a repeating region on your page to echo the data, the user info and the post.
That's all there is to it. You can find tutorials on all of those steps and CS6 and earlier have wizards that will build all the forms for you. It's easy. I do it every day. It's much lighter weight than something like WordPress or the other CMS systems out there, but if you build it from scratch you'll need to add all the features you may want to add in the future by hand.

Insert blog with DW?

I'm recent convert from GoLive. Wondering if there is a way
to insert a blog into a particular directory of the site, within a
template. Any ideas? My site is static, but I'd like to integrate a
blog in part of it.

few folks would have tried to work a dw template into a blog
script.
it could possibly be done but YOU would have to do the blog's
template
system so it responded to changes with dreamweaver's changes
to the file.
The main thing:
the blog is a script on the server.
the dreamweaver template is a design time thing. It only
affects things on
your computer.
Here is an answer: there is no way to "place a blog" into a
site so if you
make changes to a dreamweaver template, those changes will go
into every
page of that blog. Edit the BLOG's template. Outside of
dreamweaver.
Understand the code used in those places.
> Thanks for the response.

> My question is whether there is a way to place a blog
within a template, so

Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Musicman1994

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

Adding keywords to a web page with Dreamweaver 8

Hi,
Does anyone of you know how to add keywords to a web page
with Dreamweaver 8? I want the link to the web page shows up when
people google the keywords. I pulled out the instructions from
ehow.com and followed the instructions by using the HTML Keywords
function in the Insert menu. I tested it on Google website by
entering the keywords but it did not work.
Any clues would be helpful.
Thanks,
Shirley

Let's put it this way - those sites I have that are highly
ranked do not
have any meta keywords on them. So - you do the math....

Embedding Lightroom HTML gallery with Dreamweaver

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have used it to build a portfolio website. I've created HTML image galleries using Lightroom and would like to integrate these galleries into my existing page design. Lightroom generates an Index file, as well as Context and Resources folders. I've seen an earlier discussion about using LR to upload the galleries to my host, then edit the HTML to link the gallery pages to my other web pages. This strikes me as cumbersome for two products made by a single company.
What I'm after is a clear answer about if I can embed these HTML galleries quickly and easily into my existing page design? My other solution is to use the Airtight SimpleViewer gallery, but since it's using Flash, my galleries won't work on Apple mobile devices.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.
Thanks in advance for any help.

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.

Constant errors with dreamweaver

All of the sudden with Dreamweaver cs4 I am getting errors when doing the simplest things, like copy and paste or selecteing text.
I get
while executing findserverbehaviors in recordset.htm, a javascrpt error occurred.
Why? is this showing up all of the sudden. I ignored it for a while,but now its really getting on my nerves. Any help would be appreciated.

Follow the instructions supplied by SnakEyez - because it does sound like a JS problem.
The other thing to look at is if there is a corrupt extension. Disable the extensions and test them one by one to see if any are causing a problem.
Also, if Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means you have a corrupt personal configuration folder.
Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.
For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.

Edit Existing Site With Dreamweaver

Im sure this question has been asked 100 times but how do I edit an existing site (published and on the web) with Dreamweaver CS5.5? I took over as webmaster last month at a company and would like to edit the companys website. How do I download the files off the web? I can do it with Contribute but not Dreamweaver.

Create a local site folder in DW. Site > Manage Sites > New.
Go to Advanced > Remote info and enter your log in-details (FTP, host URL, username, password).
Test connection to server.
Then GET files from server.

Problems controlling divs with dreamweaver cs4

Hi all, so I have been hard coding my website and have had great success with the layout and everything. I am having trouble with dreamweaver cs4, does anyone know if cs4 is compatible with html5? My silicone cupcake liners website looks great but a nice transition to dreamweaver would save a lot of work.

DWCS4 won't be able to correctly read the html5 semantic tags like <nav><aside> or <header> while in Live View. The built in version of the quasi-webkit browser is just too old.
Design View will work for the most part, but does get confused by certain things within HTML5 specific tags, so that will look even more broken than normal.
It also will not automatically generate any HTML5 specific code, there are no HTML5 menu options and there is no update to make it do that.
The program itself is no longer supported by Adobe, being the 5th version removed from "current"...

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:

WordPress

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

Strange problem with Dreamweaver Pop-Up menus

Hello:
I have encountered a very strange problem with DreamWeaver
pop-up menus, and I was wondering if I could get some help from
this forum, as I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else.
The problem involves use of DreamWeaver's pop-up menu
behavior — all works as expected, and my local preview of the
Web page/site works fine, but when I upload the site to a server, I
see extra question mark and "box" characters added to my drop-down
menus. This problem is inconsistent between browsers: Sometimes I
see it only on IE, sometimes I also see it on Firefox.
For example, check out the following URLs:
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/cci/
... this implementation of drop-down menus ("Services"
button, etc.) displays an extra "box" character for each of the
drop-down menu items, but this only occurs in IE -- Firefox is
fine.
http://libertycreativesolutions.net/clients/microtek/HTML/MicroTek_home.html
... this implementation of drop-down menus shows an extra
question mark above the triggering link onMouseOver for Firefox,
and in IE, it shows this "box" character for both the triggering
buttons and for each menu item.
For both of these sites, the pop-up menus work without a
problem *when I'm looking at a local version on my workstation*.
What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here????
Any help for this problem is appreciated.
Note that I stripped out the JavaScript code for menu
information from the <head></head> area of each of
these pages and placed it in a linked JavaScript document.
HELP!

First, you need to read this, written by the person who
adapted that menu
code for Macromedia -
http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Then you need to know that there are MUCH better ways to do
such things -
Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -
http://www.projectseven.com/
and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place
http://tjkdesign.com/articles/dropdown/
Or this one (more recent article):

Can i make a dating site with dreamweaver

how can i make a dating site with Dreamweaver ?

The major dating sites like match.com are the result of thousands of hours of work by many computer programmers, possibly hundreds. Computer programming is not the same as web design. It requires, as Bregent pointed out, significant technical training the generally means a four year college degree.
When match.com tries to figure out who you should romance, when Google tries to figure out what you are really searching for, even when Netflix tries to give you movie recommendations, very serious database query algorithms go into play that are written by very smart database programmers.
So if you want to create a dating site for fun, to entertain your friends, refer to some of the suggestions above. Otherwise, have the right skills or be prepared to pay significant money to those who can do.

Intergrating wordpress with Dreamweaver CS6

I am new to Dreamweaver CS6 and trying to do a website for a charity . They require to update and add photos to their website. Some one suggested wordpress.I want to design it in dreamweaver but can anyone suggest how to intergrate wordpress with Dreamweaver. There will be only 2 pages at the most the client will have to update every month.I tried to download word press but it automatically opens Dreamweaver CS6 and displays an error saying
WordPress
Error: PHP is not running
WordPress requires that your web server is running PHP. Your server does not have PHP installed, or PHP is turned off.
i have it on the uniserver which has PHP already but what do I need to do for editable pages and secondly the error above, Please advice.

OK, there are several issues here:
Firstly, WordPress is a complete Content Management System. ALL of what you put up on that website will be done in WordPress, period.
Here's how Dreamweaver can help:
Dreamweaver can assist you in editing the stylesheet(s) for your WP page. But you'll need to add content using the WordPress interface, as all of your content will be located in a database and supplied from that Database.
What Dreamweaver is complaining about is that you do not have a server set up as a testing server so that Dreamweaver can show you what is happening with the server-side code (php). In order to do this, you will have to install WAMP or MAMP on your computer.
Or you could do what I did: Simply install WordPress on your remote host and don't use a testing server or designate that remote host as the testing server in Dreamweaver. (I have to confess, I never got MAMP to work correctly.)
Many hosting providers give you "Softalicious" that will automate the installation of WordPress on your server. If you have that, simply run it and you're all set.
If you don't, here are the steps to install WordPress on your server:
Requirements:
FTP Access
An available MySQL Database
The php software you wish to install
Create the MySQL Database:
Log into your Control Panel using the username and password provided by your Hosting Provider.
Go to your "MySQL Databases" in your Control Panel (CPanel) and create a database
Right below where you created the database, create a new user and password
Underneath where you created the user, you'll see two dropdown boxes, one with the user and the other with the database name. Add that user to the database, giving it "ALL" permissions.
*Note that the database and username has two parts: yourusername_databasename, and yourusername_username. For example, tester5_php1 and tester5_admin. You will need this for the software configuration.
Upload files:
Download WordPress from their site. Make sure you have the latest version.
Locate the folder on your computer that contains all the files for WordPress. Create a new defined site in Dreamweaver, and drag the entire WordPress site into that defined website in Dreamweaver.
Use Dreamweaver's FTP client to upload WordPress from your local computer to your remote host. On standard Linux/Apache webservers, you'll need to make sure that the Root Directory is set to /public_html/ or consult with your hosting provider to determine what the root directory is supposed to be.
Run the installation:
Typically accessing the installation folder directly in your web browser will lead you to the install page, otherwise you will need to refer to the documentation or README file for the location. Most of the installations are self explanatory and configure automatically. Either way, you will eventually need to provide the database information:
Hostname: localhost
db name: tester5_php1 (as you created in step 1)
db username: tester5_admin (as you created in step 1)
password: whatever password you created for the user in the database
You may also me prompted to specify Administrative login information. This information is in no way related to your CPanel or hosting provider, but is the information you will need to log in to the software's administrative control panel.
Once the installation is complete, WordPress will remove all installation directories so that nobody can mess up your installation by hacking in and re-running them.
Log in.
Now that you software is installed, it should give you a link to log in to the administrative control panel. This is where you will continue to develop this part of your website.

You only need to use the source code to implant these shows there where you want. In my eyes it would be the best that you use first a very new and blank DW file to perform (maybe in LiveView) the one or the other.
