How to use/import CM Tags in html email templates?

Hi guys
I would like to start designing html email templates and send mailings for my clients. Can anyone tell me how I can easily insert CM tags so that the template will be easily adapted to the content of the certain email in the email manager like Campagin Monitor?
Thanks!
Bob

Hi Nancy O.
I would like to design my own templates and instantly insert the right tags and so, so that I can import the templates to websites like Campaign Monitor and my clients can open templates when sending new mailsings.
The goal is to have my own designed templates for my clients with their layouts which they can use for their mailings. Also extending the newsletter (adding new article fields) should be possible etc.
Can you tell me what codes I need and what I should pay attention to in order to design nice templates that will appear correctly in nearly each mailbox?
Thanks in advance!

Does Dreamweaver CS4 run on...

Hi,
It's just a really simple question - does Dreamweaver CS4 run of windows 7 64 bit, or at all all the adobe programs such as flash etc?
Thanks,
Josh

Does Dreamweaver run under Windows 7? No, not very well. Our experience
was that it's broken all over the place. File dialogs are not working correctly, images are not placed correctly and a whole bunch of other issues under Windows 7. Read through the forum here and you will see all kinds of problems. We've had to switch to Microsoft Expression Web because of all the issues. We can't wait another year for Adobe to release CS5 or simply fix all the issues. We're trying to run a business here. We prefer Windows 7 over the choice of keeping Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4. Couldn't deal with all the problems.
Good luck to you all.
Wow, 2 posts and all you do is complain? Any business that has an IT department that employs a system-wide OS upgrade to a newly released OS without having the software tested or having backups made and forces the company to switch from one software suite to another costing the company needless time and money needs to have that IT department fired.
BTW, there are a few bugs with having to manually type paths, but Adobe has said they will patch the software for any bugs with the new operating systems ( Snow Leopard or Windows 7). These things don't happen overnight either. If you notice a bug the only way it will get fixed is to submit a request ( Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form ). Otherwise if your company has the time and money to switch over like lillie then you can switch to another application.

HTML Email templates

I'm trying to find out how I can lock my page content and
images in my HTML emails I'm creating. It seems when I create these
emails for advertising and some one forwards it everything breaks
apart. Also, for some reason Microsoft Office 2007 doesn't hold
these HTML emails together either.
Any help? Thank you.

Yep - that's how it works....

Does Dreamweaver CS4 work on Windows Server 2008 64-bit

Our company is upgrading its hardware platform. We have just purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T310 with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 64-bit edition. Does Dreamweaver and other products of the Web Premium suite work on this OS platform?

It's not listed on the system requirements page: http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/systemreqs/.
That doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but it's not officially supported. You can always download the 30-day free trial and test it.

Does Dreamweaver CS4 work with Lion?

Can anyone tell me if Dreamweaver CS4 will still work if I upgrade to Lion?
I tried to ask Adobe but was told by their support team that they would answer this question only if I bought 'bronze support' !
The telephone number they gave me to buy this support returned a ' number not recognised' response, which was a pity because I had intended to register my disgust at their mean response.
I run a website and do not want to risk problems if it will not work properly, so I should be very grateful if someone could answer this for me.

I own Dramweaver CS4 and just upgraded to Lion. When I tried to launch Dreamweaver, I got the error 150:30, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." Looking up the error on the Adobe support site, I discovered that Dreamweaver CS4 is apparently supposed to work, but that there is a problem with the licensing component. There is a knowledge base article on fixing this problem. However, I am frustrated because one of the steps is to download a license recovery application that has a PowerPC component that will not run. The other steps in the recovery procedure did not work for me, so I personally am stuck.

Html email template

hi,
I was just wondering if it is possible to load a html template into the mail program for your signature, like in outlook or entourage?
I want the background of my emails to be a blue color and want to loadf a header image.
thanks

Hi,
It seems it has nothing to do with using the HTML template.
When we use an HTML template without replacement functionallity, everything works fine.
When we add some code for replacement
`
if( exists(role.initiator.lastname) )
writeln(role.initiator.lastname);
`
we get this error in the trace file:

How does Dreamweaver CS4 work with CS3 Design Suite?

I am looking to purchase Dreamweaver on my computer however I currently have the CS3 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator installed on my computer. Will the DW CS4 version work if the rest of my Design Suite is CS3 or should I look to purchase CS3 if available? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Dreamweaver 3 will open a file in Photoshop, so DW CS4 should do the same. I think you might have problems with Adobe's Bridge. And it's possible that DW CS4 might decide that previous versions of Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop or Illustrator are not supported. So workflows may be a little more disjointed.
So the real question will be: Do the advantages of DW CS4 outweigh possible hurdles in workflow?
I will frequently open and replace graphic images using Photoshop without Dreamweaver open and, when I open the website, everything falls into place. I did that for a number of color changes and I worked exclusively in Photoshop for the first part of my day, replacing colors that were designed to be part of the website with the client's specific pick. I tend to save graphics as .PSD files and then use Photoshop's Export to Web and in CS3, Photoshop will remember two different paths for a Save (PSD) and a Save to Web.

HTML Emails and background images in Dreamweaver

Hello. I created a HTML email in Dreamweaver. The original design came out of Indesign and had very specific background art. I removed all the text out of the Indesign and created a jpg. I took this jpg in Photoship and sliced and optimized it. I imported this HTML into Dreamweaver. Here I need to add in all the text (which is variable). I was originally thinking that you can only place background images with CSS. But I was told that you should not use CSS for HTML emails. So instead I left all the background art as normal images inside of a table. At this point I need to add text over these images. They only way I could figure out to do it was to add a div tag right over the image and type into there. This seemed to work fine but when I tested it in some emails all the div tags with text showed up under the table with images. This needed to display over. What is the best way to handle this issue? Thank you in advance.
Melanie

Sorry, but you cannot layer text over images in emails. Simplify your design or make an image with text on it in Photoshop. Use absolute URLs to images on your web server. And give people who can't see graphics and HTML pages in their email client a link to the HTML page on your web server.

Dreamweaver CS4 - Dynamic Form Question

Hello you all. I've been tasked with developing a form for my company that allows a user to add as many contacts into a form field as they like, i.e., they would enter a contact first and last name and then click on a "+" sign or button to add another name etc. The "+" or Add button would shoot each name into a database and display it above the new blank field.
I am familiar with developing regular static forms but nothing dynamic like this. I know explaining this to me from start to finish is out of the scope of this forum, but where do I start. Does Dreamweaver CS4 have some type of widget or Java addon that will allow me to generate this type of field and then I can tackle the database setup at another time?
Any help would be much appreciated!

Have a look at the following, just copy and paste in a new document and test in a browser
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
.clickable {cursor: pointer;}
#fullname2 {visibility: hidden;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="get">
<input name="fullname1" id="fullname1" type="text"><span id="add1" class="clickable"> +</span>
<br>
<input name="fullname2" id="fullname2" type="text">
</form>
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes/SpryDOMUtils.js"></script>
<script>
Spry.$$("#add1").addEventListener("click", MyOnClickHandler, false);
function MyOnClickHandler() {
Spry.$$("#fullname2").setStyle("visibility: visible;")
</script>
</body>

Dreamweaver CC "Update pages from template" process seems to go on forever

Hello, whenever I edit a template with my new Dreamweaver CC (migrating from CS6), the dialog never reaches the "done" point. It seems to go on forever.
So it looks like the update process doesn't end, but actually it ends (most of the time): if I close the dialog and check the files, they're usually updated. Sometimes they're not, though.
So I was wondering, is this a known bug? Or is there something I can do to try and fix this?
Thanks.

I haven't heard of this one recently, so it's probably not a bug in the software itself.
I would try clearing the program cache: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
and/or restoring preferences: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
Post back if those don't do the trick.

Dreamweaver CS4 Cell border question

Hi
I am working on a site and have a small table on a page which is styled with CSS. Whatever I do I cannot remover the black borders to each individual cell. There appears to be no border to the table, just each cell. The page can be viewed here: <http://www.colinbowling.com/monster_banners/contact.html>. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4.
Can anyone over me any advice as to what to do?
Cheer
Colin.

First, I highly recommend reading up on CSS. I get the impression you downloaded a template from somewhere and don't understand how to edit it.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/
The table is id is table2 per the code:
<table width="787" cellpadding="5" id="table_2">
Right now all you have in your code is:
#table_2 {
border: thin solid #000;
border-collapse: collapse;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
font-size: 14px;
Simply apply a style to the table2 cells as:
#table_2 td { border: thin solid #000000; }

Windows 7 Ultimate, Dreamweaver CS4, error message 148:3

Dreamweaver starts but as soon as it does it exits and my desktop is the only thing on the screen. My Dreamweaver ran fine before I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate from Windows Vista Ultimate.

The first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

If all else fails, use the CC Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

HTML Email Pages

Hello; and Happy New Year!
I am a newbie and have Adobe Web Premium CS2/CS3. I would
like to send an e-mail to contacts that announce our new company
and website location, as well as links to the website so that they
can register for courses.
Is Dreamweaver the best program to do this? Any advice on
do's and don'ts? A link on getting started with HTML emails for
marketing would be VERY much appreciated.
Thanks, again. Be safe.

Yes Dreamweaver should be your choice.
Here are some free HTML email templates that are supposed to
be compatible
with "most" email programs.

Image map in html email- color of text

I'm using some image maps in an html email newsletter and using the alt tag on some of the images to give a brief description as to what the newsletter content covers.
The issue I have is that the alt text is in the color blue. Can I control that and make it black? I've tried a few ideas but the text stubbornly remains blue........grrr!
Thanks

I think this is going to be one of those cases where I disagree with a large amount of your arguments. I find almost no valid reason for using a "slice and dice" method of email marketing and if the client is going to insist on that (or at least not accept the little extra time/cost in creating a template), it should be made very aware to them that the impact of the email will be severly diminished.
The hardest/most time consuming part of the template building (or HTML email building) is getting your first one that works consistently in all/most email clients. Once you have that one, its very easy and fast to change the layout, edit content etc. Add to that MailChimps resources on pre-designed HTML email templates and your good to go. http://mailchimp.com/resources/html-email-templates/
As for your examples above, they are not all done the same way.
http://www.screwfix.info/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=4d2f0f00cbac503dfb is a relatively good example as the main focus of the email is in text - the top and the offer. The images are all products.
http://tre.emv3.com/HM?a=ENX7CloMai0H8SA9MOBj7h3nGHxKXLxSfPcStGb5lw8W0 bBhOG5mpqVsje_HheCmyF2x is a bad one as it's images all the way to the disclaimer.
You can see the differences by turning images off in your browser using the web deveoper toolbar.
I agree only IF you have a client that adheres to the template. I don't know many or any clients that adhere to anything personally. Its like when producing a magazine. Good ones adhere to a template design but they are generally produced by large companies with a good budget, a marketing department and a copywriter to make sure the content fit. My client are not in that league, they tend to write the copy themsleves and don't edit anything or give too much care or attention to following any layout. My job is to make what they supply fit. A template in that senario is going to be completley useless.
The first example above is probably 95% images....and you think that's a realatively good html email example?

Does dreamweaver cs4 offer html email templates by any chance?
