Dreamweaver 8 and Contribute CS3

Is Contribute CS3 compatible with Dreamweaver 8?

Since Dreamweaver users checkout the files, Lock will be
created for those file (.LCK), so Contribute users can't edit the
page until the files are checked in and lock is released.

Thanks

Contribute Publishing Server and Contribute CS3?

Is Contribute CS3 compatible with Contribute Publishing
Server? If not, does anyone know if an update to CPS is coming
soon? It's still at version 1.11. Yikes!

I guess I didn't see anything from Macromedia that tells me
that CPS works with the new version. I'm not looking for new
features. I just want to make sure there aren't any
incompatibilities, outstanding bugs.

Dreamweaver CS4 and PS CS3

I installed Dreamweaver CS4 yesterday and this morning I opened Photoshop CS3 to work on some files and PS is not working correctly, when selecting tools such as the brush, majic wand, or move tool all I get is the hand tool. I can still access layers, levels, and other adjustments just fine. Is there a conflict going on between DW 4 and PS 3?

There shouldn't be any conflict between different versions of the applications. What OS are you running and have you installed the latest patches for the programs?

Dreamweaver MX and Contribute 4

Do I need to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4 inorder to have it work correctly with Contribute4? My client has purchased Contribute 4 so he can edit his sites as needed but I am unable to administer the site in Dreamweaver (it's looking for vs. 2 though I downloaded the trial for vs.4). I have been unsuccessful in trying everything already located in forums, etc. and would appreciate any help or advice offered.

I believe the structure of contribute has changes with version 4, (more features, etc) and getting it to work with MX would be like trying to update MX to CS4 (you get the complete new version if you upgrade).
However many of the main features from contribute v2 are still valid in v4.
Upgrading is probably your only reliable option.

Contribute CS3 compatibility with Dreamweaver MX 2004

I haven't upgraded my Dreamweaver MX 2004 to 8 or CS3 - I
mostly handcode XHTML / CSS ... I have a client who is ideal for
Contribute for the content management needs, but I want to make
sure that I won't be forced into a manditory upgrade situation for
myself to both Dreamweaver CS3 and Contribute CS3 in order to
support them (and I've used Contribute 2 with older clients for a
while).

Have you found an answer for this. I am in a similar
situation, in CS3 Mac. If I use www.mysite.com/www, which is the
folder for ftp purposes, I get:
Dreamweaver could not find a page at the specified site root
URL. Please check the site root URL.
If I just go to the main url, www.mysite.com, I get:
Dreamweaver could not connect to the remote server. You
cannot perform Contribute administration tasks without a connection
to a remote server. Please fix the remote connection before
continuing.
I've tried it on another site I administer and it worked
fine, so I'm wondering if it's something to do with the
configuration of the server, but my hosts haven't got any answers
either...
Any pointers gratefully received.

Dreamweaver MX 2004 with Contribute CS3

Good Afternoon,
I have Adobe CS3 Web Premium edition, but a colleague located
interstate is using DreamWeaver MX 2004. I would like him to design
a dreamweaver template for use in Contribute CS3. Are there any
known compatibility issues with doing this, or any DreamWeaver CS3
features that we would maybe miss out on?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think this would be a problem, since you can
administer the site from within Contribute. The template souirce
code hasn't changed, so Contribute will find the templates and the
editable regions.
You could always decide to turn of the compatiblity in
dreamweaver if there are problems with the cheking in and out
system.

Contribute CS3 embeds the contents of SSI Includes into page after Edit and Publish

I have tried every possible way to figure this out but it
seems as though no one has this problem or a solution...
My Dreamweaver CS3 Template based files that have SSI
Includes placed in a "non-editable region" of a template and/or
nested templates are continually embedded, merged, or hard-coded (I
used those keywords for anyone else who might be searching for help
on this frustrating issue) into the page after it has been edited
and published with Contribute CS3 for Windows.
After many, many, hours and days rebuilding templates
(thinking that it was my code), experimenting with .htaccess
include_path variables, and cursing this application, I have come
to one conclusion - if I put my includes within "editable regions"
in the templates or the template based pages, edit and publish the
page with Contribute - then the page is saved normally, with the
includes intact and not embedded within the page. This is of course
not necessarily desirable!
I have tried using various types of include directives like:
<?php include('footer.inc'); ?>
<?php require('footer.inc'); ?>
<?php virtual(footer.php'); ?>


All Includes are merged into the template-based page after
the page has been edited and published with Contribute - if they
are in "non-editable regions"!
Please, someone point me in the right direction - if it's
calling Adobe's Help line, or posting the files or whatever. I
can't finish this project and hand off to the client until this is
resolved.

Hi,
I'd be reall interested to know if you got anywhere with this as I'm having the same problem.
The article referenced further down this thread is no longer available either.
Any suggestions or advice on this issue would be much appreciated.

Contribute CS3 and CS4 Admin Compatibility

While I wait for the update to Adobe Dreamweaver Developer
Toolbox (ADDT), if my client purchases Contribute CS4, can I send
them keys and administer the site using my Contribute CS3?
Are the two versions compatible?

Please have a look on the below mentioned thread:

Javascript errors when formating text and images in Contribute CS3

I'm using Contribute CS3 on Vista, I insert an image inside a
paragraph tag with text then align the image
ie the source code looks like this:
<img src="..." alt="" align="left"/>some
text
I change the text in the paragraph to bold
Source code example: <img src="..." alt=""
align="left"/>some text
I will get the following error messages:
1 This error appears 2 times:
"While executing DW_Text_CSS_Style canAcceptCommand in
ccText_Styles.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
2 This error appears 2 times:
"While executing DW_Text_Bold canAcceptCommand in
Text_Style.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
3 This error appears 3 times:
"While executing DW_Text_Italic canAcceptCommand in
Text_Style.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
4 Next all the styles and formatting options are greyed out
but I can still publish or discard.
To be able to apply the styles and formatting in Contribute
CS3 I now need to close the application and reopen it again and be
careful not to reproduce the error.
I've also tried renaming the Configuration folder under
c:\Users\myusername\appData\Local\Adobe\Contribute CS3\ but it
hasn't worked.
We've reproduced this error on 3 similar machines in our
office all running cs3 but the bug doesn't occur when performing
the same steps in Contribute 3 or dreamweaver CS3 which is running
side by side on these machines.

It might be trying to pull the image from a different
location than the image is currently stored in. Try to move the
image file to a different folder and then load.

Contribute CS3 & Dreamweaver CS3

I do volunteer work for a pet rescue website. I started out
editing their pages with Dreamweaver CS3. When the work load got
out of control, one of the rescue members decided to help out by
using Contribute CS3. After a few months, I noticed there was a lot
of lag loading this one page we were both updating on a daily
basis.
In Dreamweaver, in design mode, the page appeared to be fine
but when looking at the source code, there were thousands of empty
lines that had been generating for who knows what reason. The
amount of lines was over 50K. I manually went in there and deleted
all the empty lines and ended up with about 600 lines total of
code. Everything was back to normal and my helper continued using
Contribute CS3 and I used DW, until a few days later when I noticed
the blank lines were back. Not as many as there were before but
they were certainly adding up and were definitely adding to the
loading time.
I did what I could to clean up the code and although there
are some empty lines left at the top of the file, the rest of the
file is ok now. I asked the Contribute helper to not make anymore
updates for the time being. I haven't seen any more blank lines
added since she stopped. So my best guess is that Contribute CS3 is
causing all the problems.
Is there something in Contribute CS3 publishing preferences
that may be causing this problem? I couldn't find anything in the
manuals except something about Line Breaks but that didn't have
anything to do with the code. Could it also be a server problem?
Not sure where I would begin looking. Any help would be
appreciated.
Here is a link to the file I am referring to:
http://www.norcalgsprescue.com/adopt.shtml
Thanks!

I've had similar issues, but not to the extent you seem to be
getting it. I know if you are using templates or server-side code,
the lines that do not propagage to your web client are removed, but
the source code lines are not collapsed...
Anyway, when I had a similar problem, it would putting an
extra line for each line in the html code... If you are on a
Linux/Unix Web server... go to Administer Website...Edit Role
Settings...Select the 'Editing' option on the left side of the
panel... at the very bottom, make sure 'Line Break Type' is set to
'Unix (LF)'
Hope that helps

Huge favour - screenshots for Dreamweaver CS3, Contribute CS3 or Fireworks CS3 please

Please accept my apologies for this rather cheeky request,
but I work for a PC magazine and I'm editing a piece on CS3 from
one of our US sister publications. Unfortunately though, I don't
have any screenshots to go with it. Is there anybody here who has
CS3 versions of Dreamweaver, Fireworks or Contribute for the PC,
and who could send me screenshots that we could publish please?
Many many thanks. (My email address is

How about downloading the trial version and making the screen
shots
yourself? :-)

Dreamweaver MX2004 + Contribute CS3

Can anyone tell me whether Contribute CS3 can work with
templates created in Dreamweaver MX2004 and whether the contribute
user can view (& copy) the HTML of a created page?
We use a Lotus Notes CMS at the moment (out of my hands at
the moment) and want to use Dreamweaver + Contribute to create html
to copy & paste into the Notes CMS.
Will there be a trial version of Contribute available?

Contribute CS3 will recognize the Dreamweaver Mx 2004
templates and work with them. But Dreamweaver MX 2004 will not
recognize Contribute CS3 as a version it can work with.
Trials ussually are available within 6 weeks if the main
release.
