Documentation for Menu widget... forget it!

Why do we have no manual or documentation foe Adobe Muse?
Just try and find documentation for the menu widget, first go on line because there is no help for Muse with the software. There is no menu widget listed. Guess "slideshows and widgets", expand more to see all the items - wow, I found it! Click on "Customizing the state of the Horizontal Menu widget". Perfect. Click on it. You go to "Building your first website with Muse" page. Great a tutorial, not documentation - oh well. Look for menu.
It doesn't actually appear there - sorry! Find it yourself. Look its says they already showed it in part 2. Great, I love spending time just looking for help. Click on part 2.
Read the whole page - a tutorial. No documentation for the submenus. Of course, it's a tutorial, not a manual.
Go back to the help page, type Muse menu widget in the search box. Great a video tutorial. Watch it, then it refers to the next video where we will style the video.It's not listed on the page anywhere. You must have to buy the series.
Screw the docs, try it yourself. Look - edit together is on, change the font, they all change but only in that sub menu. Change the menu item size, only that one changes. Oh so edit together only refers to each submenu and not all the changes. Wow, I should read the documentation - oh I forgot, THERE ISN'T ANY.
Am I the only one who wishes we could get a reference doc for this app or is that to much to ask of Adobe? What good is saving time building websites with Muse when you have to be a detective and spend lots of time finding out how to use it. This is SO LAME. We need a manual. Not just "lets build a website tutorials".

With the rapid growth of Muse a manual just wouldn't be practical. There are plenty of resources on the web; Adobe site, Lynda.com, lots of independant tutorials and probably the best resource (besides Lynda.com) is this forum right here. Google is everyone's friend ..... can find anything and faster than in any manual.
But with the way technology software changes at such a high rate manuals would be out of date before they are printed. I doubt we will see manuals for any Adobe software. It's just not Adobe going this way.

  • Menu widget not responding ever 8 seconds for another 8 seconds

    Hi there,
    I have purchased Muse template and have build website with Muse CC (2014) (www.janka-photograhy.ch)
    It's one page template with scrolling effects on it.
    On every page except from "Home" I have horizontal menu widget. Now, on next page (Über mich)
    menu stops responding after 8 seconds for another 7-8 seconds and then functioning normaly again for
    8 seconds and so on. This only happens on "Über mich" page. On every other page (Angebot, Galerie, Kontakt)
    everything works fine. Any ideas why is this happening?
    Thanks a lot.
    Dalibor
    P.S. Problem is arises in Firefox, but not in IE.

    I can reproduce it on my Mac with Safari. Hovering across the menu, it becomes un/responsive every 7, 8 seconds.
    What says the developer of your widget?
    It doesn’t help, but it is a really nice site you designed!
    I would try the following:

  • What's a good wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver CS6 Mac?

    I'm trying to build menus in Dreamweaver CS6 Mac, and started using Spry...then learned that Adobe will no loner be supporting Spry and that it may not be as compatible with browsers in the future. 
    What's a good alternative wysiwyg menu widget for Dreamweaver that's makes it easy to create horizontal/vertical pop-down menus/sub menus? I'd be willing to pay for it if it's worth it.   Would be nice if it worked within Dreamweaver using Design/Spit modes the way Spry does, but not essential.  Thanks!

  • Ideas for improvements in and additional flexibility for the menu widget

    Recently in the Muse help forum, I discussed in great detail some current limitations in the menu widget, along with some detailed suggestions for future features that would both solve these limitations and increase its flexibility. I hope the Muse team will take a moment to read through this discussion and consider these ideas: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6073318#6073318

    Hi Chuck,
    I just wanted to assure you that we on the development team have followed your thread. We have a long list of improvements we'd like to make to the menu widget. Most of the items you raised were already on our "to do" list. The one item I specifically added from your thread was the observation that it would be helpful to be able to set the alignment for the entire menu bar in order to control the direction the menubar grows/shrinks as top level pages are added/removed in Plan view. (The need for additional alignment/positioning controls for individual menu items and submenus was on the list.)
    Thank you for your continued thoughts on how we can improve Muse. If you'd like more insight into upcoming changes, the Muse Private Beta Program is open to any active subscriber who can accept the terms of the Non-disclosure Agreement. You can join via the Help menu in Muse. (The program is currently dormant, as we're between releases, but it will become active again soon.)

  • Keeping main menu widget highlighted when you have all pages below this open. Its only staying highlighted for the main page

    I have a main menu widget that says 'Services' then below that a group of pages thats relate to this - I want the word 'Services' to stay highlighted when Im on each page but it only is for the main one.

    This is the default behavior as the one which is active will only be highlighted. Menu item is linked with page url , so if the page url is used in browser then active state will highlight that menu item.
    Thanks,

  • Support for menu jQuery UI widgets in DW CC2014

    Does DW CC 2014 have menu included in the supported jQuery UI widgets?
    I saw Preran's response to a similar question posted on Jul 24, 2013, saying that Adobe definitely has a plan to integrate jQuery menu widget into Dreamweaver. Now we are at Oct 7, 2014, how is the situation now? I'm using DW CC 2014 (2014.0 release, 6733 Build), apparently it still has no support for jQuery menu.
    Please help!

    To be honest, the menus you can use are endless.  A Google search will reveal many more.
    Project Seven has a fine line of commercial products and DW Extensions.

  • Tools to write documentation for the lazy guy?

    Hi all, from some years i'm developing a graphical project, but i've never had the will to write the documentation.
    ...what a boring task.
    But now that i think my project is quite complete and stable, the time has come.
    What tools do you suggest? There are a lot of functions,menues,checkboxes and so on to write about, so the natural end would be an hypertext with images.
    Any advice for the task?
    Thanks!

    It depends. What kind of application did you make and which what toolkit and what kind of documentation would you like to provide?
    I wrote an application using wxWidgets, which includes a "Help Window" widget that just displays an HTML string. That made it super easy to provide graphical in-application help.
    I wrote a couple of man pages (like for packer). I think those are kind of fun to make. I simply did an Internet search for "how to make a man page" or something. It was pretty easy to learn.
    kokoko3k wrote:from some years i'm developing a graphical project, but i've never had the will to write the documentation. ...what a boring task.
    Some people find programming boring and writing documentation to be an enjoyable contribution. If you release your program and people like it someone might write the documentation for you.

  • On file open: "This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists."

    I had an existing, functional datepicker in a web page.
    Recently I downloaded the UI Datepicker in the Widget Browser and installed it in DW CS5. Now every time I load the file that calls the datepicker that I added myself, a warning opens with the following text:
    This document contains JavaScript code for a widget that no longer exists. If you don't remove the code, the browser might display JavaScript errors when loading the page. Would you like Dreamweaver to find all instances of this code for you?
    Widget: $("#reservDateBegin").datepicker();
    Widget: $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker();
    Clicking "Yes" opens the file and shows the search box at the bottom of the window with [current document] in File and $("#reservDateEnd").datepicker(); in Matched Text. Clicking "No" just opens the file.
    The error is wrong, since installing the widget is what caused the error in the first place!
    How can I get DW to stop showing this message?
    Thanks for any help.

    I do understand you're trying to be helpful. I was just hoping providing the relevant code snippets would be sufficient so I didn't have to take the time to provide a "cleaned" version of the files and upload those to a public-safe location.
    Zabeth69 wrote: If you don't understand what 'code at the bottom of the page' means, you have not used one of those systems. I don't know what causes the error code to come up (besides removing a Spry widget, I mean). So if it doesn't apply to you, ignore it.
    This is exactly my point: I haven't used any of the DW "systems". I've always manually coded in DW, so I can't have removed a Spry widget in the first place. It wasn't until I installed the Widget using the Widget Browser that I started getting the error (I don't mean adding the datepicker widget to the code using the DW Insert menu - I mean installing the Widget into DW itself). Ignoring such an erroneous/incorrect error seems kind of silly, since every time I open the file I get the error message.
    Anyway, as requested, the following are links to the contactUsCleaned.php page, and the php included headerCleaned.php file. Since these use php includes to complete the rendered HTML, they won't look right in the browser, but as you know viewing the source will show the relevant html, javascript, and jquery code. I didn't see any way to upload the files in this forum, which, due to the php code, would be preferable to see exactly what my code looks like...
    http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/contactUsCleaned.php
    http://www.eventidewebdesign.com/public/headerCleaned.php
    The footer.php file the contactUs page includes is simply a set of HTML links to the pages on the site, copyright info, and the Google Analytics script. There is no other code in the footer.php file.

  • Is it possible to make an  animated drop down menu  and still use  the menu widget?

    Hi- I am trying to create a menu bar that is hidden with just a tab exposed  to indicate that there is a menu  there. Upon  rollover,  the full menu bar slides down and reveals the menu items.  I can't find a way to make it smoothly  slide down so I settled for the Photoshop button and just moved the button position in Photoshop to fake it.    The problem is  now I need to find a way to still use the menu widget along with this.  if that can't be done,  can I use the Photoshop button and populate the menu there and abandon the menu widget?
    Someone suggested using  Edge Animate ( why the hell is this a separate  software from Muse?)  to make the animation.  If that's a possibility,  can the menu widget be used with the Edge file that's imported?  please help me get to where I need to go  however it needs to happen!  Thanks in  advance.
    Here's a link to a screenshot of my menu: http://www.groovindj.com/menu.jpg
    Here's a site that  does  pretty much what I'm looking to do... www.bagigia.com

    Ok, thanks! I have another way to do what I'm trying to do, I just thought it might be better to do it this way. Obviously I was wrong!
    Thanks again!

  • CS5 RAW Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw. Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.

    I rented a Nikon D600 & D610 and CS5 cannot open the RAW files, i do not have any issued with my D700 RAW files. I am getting this error message -
    Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information.
    Can anyone please help?

    yellowmledbetter wrote:
    Sorry, I am on a MAC. I downloaded the link you provided and it's giving the same error message as above. Running CS5.
    The error message you gave is from Camera Raw. I thought you said that DNG Converter didn't work?
    The link I gave you is an article on getting your raw files to open in Camera Raw. Did you read it? I lazily gave you the link because this is one of the most common problems in this forum, and I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again. I could break it down for your specific case, but I was hoping you could read through the article and work it out for yourself.
    But, here goes:
    Your cameras are newer than your raw converter, so it won't understand them.
    CS5 comes with Camera Raw 6, which can only be upgraded as far as 6.7.1. You can find out which version of Camera Raw you are running in three ways: in the settings title bar (Cmd-K), in the plug-in title bar (press F to start/stop full-screen mode to reveal the title bar), or Photoshop's Help menu (About Plug-ins).
    Downloading raw files from newer Nikon cameras with old versions of Nikon Transfer will actually make them unreadable in Adobe software. They can be fixed with a free utility. Again, it's all in the linked article. You should be using up-to-date Nikon Transfer, or Adobe Photodownloader to avoid this problem.
    All being well, you have good raw files on your computer. You can convert them to dng using Adobe DNG Converter. IF you are on OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard, you CAN'T use the latest version, because Adobe stopped support. But, if you ARE on a later OSX, you can download DNG Converter 8.6.
    DNG Converter is designed to convert FOLDERS of raw files at a time. You select a folder of raw files, and tell it to create DNG copies. BUT, you have to set up the converter before you start using it...
    If you load up DNG Converter, you'll notice a button labelled "Change Preferences". Clicking this, you'll see the first option is "Compatibility". Here, you must select the appropriate setting for the version of Camera Raw you HAVE (see above). If you can't work this out, just pick "Camera Raw 5.4 and later". THEN pick a folder of raw files and convert them to DNGs.
    All the above is already in the article, but I gave you a personalised response. If you still can't get it to work, please give us more than one sentence. Tell us exactly what you tried, and describe exactly what happened. Which version of OSX you're running, what device and software you downloaded your raw files with, how you used DNG Converter, and so on.
    I really should be in bed.

  • Help with manual mode of Menu Widget in Muse

    I'm building a family web page in Muse and I'd like to create a menu of my secondary webpages only. Since the Menu Widget's "menu type" options are Top Level pages, All Pages (neither option will work for me), and Manual- it seems like I should be able to use "Menu Type: Manual" and simply type in the menu items I would like- which I've done. What I can't figure out is how to link those menu items I manually created to the sub pages of my website.
    A bit of background on my website structure. My top Level sites are: Welcome, and then 3 separate pages for each family member- and each member page has a few secondary pages (about, photos, contact):
    Welcome
    Member 1
    about
    photos
    contact
    Member 2
    about
    photos
    contact
    Member 3
    about
    photos
    contact
    My main site navigation- i.e. the menu widget for top level pages- is above my header (Light Gray). Below my header, I would like a horizontal or bar menu for ONLY the sub pages of that member: ie. About Member 1, Member 1's Photos, Contact Member 1 (Dark Gray)
    I've created a menu widget in the Manual mode- I just can't seem to figure out how to link each menu option to the correct page. Currently in preview none of these manual menu items work.
    Thanks!
    LScarff

    Hi Scarff.
    When you opt to use manual mode for the Menus, you need to manually link the pages to menu items. To achieve this , you need to have the menu item selected and then using hyperlink option as shown in below screenshots link the corresponding page to it :
    I hope this helps.

  • Menu Widget: Text disappears when previewed in browser ?

    Hi All,
    I've created a site and have a top level page, with a sub-page.
    The site uses the Menu widget in Muse to create a menu with dropdowns for the sub-pages. However, when I preview the site in the browser, the state on the menu for the top-level page 'Normal and 'Active' functions disspears.
    It does re-appear on rollover, so the browser knows it's there, but it isn't being displayed.
    Any idea why?
    And how I can fix this?
    (Ive attached screenshots of the page within Muse and then the same page once previewed within the browser)
    As always, soloutions and replies most apprieciated!
    Browser preview
    Browser preview on rollover function
    Cheers!
    Robbie.

    Hi Robsta,
    Looking at your 1st posted image, above, I would say (recommend) that the 2nd blue guide, from the top (the header guide), should be moved down and put just below your menu ... do this on the 'master page' ... thats the header guide line ... everything 'below' that line is page content (a menu is not page content) hence content changes throughout your website ... everything 'above' that line is your header information and stays in the same place regardless which page you are on and is shown on ALL pages ...
    Now, if that doesn't fix the problem (the blue guide that needs moving, should be moved nevertheless) ... is it possible that some of the 'active' states in your menu have got messed up when you were changing your button colours? ... this would only happen if you were editing the menu with the 'Edit Together', 'unticked' ... I can see that the active state is set to grey already hence just asking ... also, sometimes if the 'header' guide is not where it should be, it does hide things below it as it doesn't know what should be shown or not ...so it's just a thought ... ...
    cheers,
    GemBro

  • Menu Widget is not working correctly when applied in Master Page?

    Hi There,
    Is there a reason why menu widget doesn't work correctly when put in the master page?  When I do preview it only highlights certain menu and doesn't highlight other ones?  In order to fix this I had to take my menu widget off the master page and had to manually apply the menu widget on each page for it to work correctly?  Is there a reason why this is happening and are you guys working on fixing this?
