Dreamweaver and WordPress

I've been using Dreamweaver to edit some PHP files in my WordPress themes. Is there anything I need to worry about when doing that? Is the code going to be clean all the time so that there are no errors when I put the new theme in my website (http://www.tonyherman.com)?
I heard someone say that you have to make sure you're in PHP mode when using Dreamweaver but I'm not really sure what they meant by that. I mean, we're kind of almost just editing text documents - why would the mode matter?

It doesn't matter.
I've been using Dreamweaver to edit some PHP files in my WordPress themes. Is there anything I need to worry about when doing that?
Yes - if you are editing the core files of the theme (header.php, footer.php, functions.php, styles.css, etc.) then when you might update the theme those changed files will be overwritten by the updated ones. It's much better to be working from a child theme, in which case your changes are all safe from overwriting.

Dreamweaver and Wordpress compatibility

Hi,
I'm not familiar with this community so hopefully this is the appropriate venue for this question.
I am an old school coder and have switched to using wordpress for my health website/ blog ( http://doctorscotthealth.com ). I'm struggling to create the design elements and personalizations I'm envisioning. I am frustrated with some of the limitations. Can Dreamweaver help updating wordpress templates by accessing and manipulating the php scripts? or is Dreamweaver strictly for writing standard html/css pages? Does it work with php I guess? Is there any teamwork that can be acheived with the two frameworks?
If so are there are any recommended tutorials?

You certainly can use Dreamweaver to code a custom template/theme for WordPress, but you're going to need to have strong php coding skills. I recommend you spend a lot of time with the tutorials and forums over at WordPress which can guide you through some of the process. You'll also need to set up a "local host" on your computer in order to test your code. (Google local host, WAMP or XAMPP or MAMP for more info; there are also a number of threads here about setting up a local host, so search here as well.)
I don't know if Pinboard is a free or premium theme (the one you've currently selected for your site), but if you are not strong in coding php, you might have an easier time finding a good, well-documented premium theme that meets your needs. You'll be able to do some customization, but all the heavy lifting will have been coded for you.

CS5.5 and WordPress Multisite

So, I upgraded from my CS4 to CS5.5 last week. I've extremely excited about the Live View / Inspector aspect of editing my php and WordPress projects. I'm running this on a suped up win 7 box. I deleted/uninstalled my old xampp setup and downloaded a new one. I'm going to have a Solr search engine for a WordPress Multisite blog/directory when I'm all done. So, I spent the time to also set up tomcat and get an instance of Solr running on my local machine. (not that this is important, but shows I'm not a complete beginner).
I've followed the tutorials on setting up WordPress to be able to do the testing server, live view and editing. Everything works fine on a new single blog install (I started a brand new one just to check and to do the Lynda.com tutorials, which are working just fine.) But, when I go to the Multisite Sub-Blog and set up the discovery of the related links DW gives me a whopping 4 files that are linked. I can follow the links on the live view pages, but the dynamic linking files are not showing up in the top toolbar? I can't jump over to the header.php file and then back to the index.php file, because they are not finding all of the linking php files.
As, I mentioned, it's a multisite only problem, becuase it's working on a single blog install just fine. I thought maybe it was because of the addressing, the testing folder was different from the root website. So, I edited the vhosts.conf file and hosts file to add a specific testing domain name and there was no change except that I don't get the error anymore when I set up the testing server that the site url of "/" doesn't match the one I had that was "/mydirectory/".
This was an older site that was set up in Dreamweaver that I just kept changing all of the local testing environment stuff, but the link to the remote server was still active. So, I thought that might be causing the trouble because it was going out to that server to try to follow some of the dynamically linked pages. So, I completely deleted everything and started over with a fresh Site with just the Testing server set up, fresh wordpress, fresh evreything. I am able to discover the related links in the file right up to when I turn on multisite in a sub-directory install and the whole discovery of related links wigs out.
If you look at the http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network I checked the dynamic links at each step. It worked turning on Multisite and going to network setup, but as soon as I entered the code in the wp-config.php file for defining a multisite and added the .htaccess file then the whole thing breaks.
I'm sure it has to do with how the path is loaded somehow dynamically, but as many people that there are running this combo, of Dreamweaver 5.5 and trying to work on Wordpress, and maybe a Multisite install since it's so much easier in 3.0+ I was surprised that there was nothing on the web about this issue.
Thanks for any help upfront.

The WordPress Multisite does use mod rewrite in .htaccess. The contents of that are found in the link I provided on setting up a WordPress Multisite install found at WordPress.org. As each of the sub-blogs require the use of elements and data from the main site and structure to draw the pages I do not think that setting up each sub-blog as it’s own site definition would work. It would still have issues finding the relating files. I guess, if someone figured out how to use Dreamweaver on a blog hosted at wordpress.com to edit themes and such that would probably flow to solving this issue as well.
Since this is on a Development XAMPP server on my own machine, if I put the .htaccess code in my httpd.conf file instead would that make a difference? Or is it the mod rewrite that is the issue no matter where it resides?
I basically decided to set up each sub-blog as a completely separate “site” for now since all I’m sync’ing is the theme folders anyways at that point and all I was truly after was the Live View / Inspector for making the layout changes. When I did that though and activated all the plugins that I’m using I noticed some issues with file discovery as well. I saw in one of the tutorials that there was a way to link a style.css file manually for “design” prior to uploading the site. Is there anything inside of Dreamweaver that would allow us to manually add the necessary php file for the finder. I’m pretty sure that it’s getting stuck at the line that is saying (dirname(__FILE__) . “wp-load.php” or something like that (off the top of my head). Once that relative file would be found my guess is that it would discover all the other ones? Or there is an issue with the ABSPATH variable being set early on in the WordPress installation.
At this point I’ve tried a dozen different ways to get this to work and it’s obviously broken. Since it’s so prevalent (I think a lot of the posts I read had this also as a multisite drupal/joomla issue as well) that it would be something worth figuring out how to provide a work around.

In this log file I can see you are getting Error : U44M1P7 while updating the software
This Error comes where language packs for software are not installed properly on the machine.
I would suggest to update Adobe Application manager from
Windows : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773
MAC: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774
then try to install the update if still you are not able to update software and getting same error then uninstall all the Adobe software selecting remove prefernces.
After uninstalling the software run the Adobe Cleaner tool(http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and remove the leftovers.

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....

This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie.

New to Dreamweaver and need help with fomatting font

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and have been playing with it for a few weeks. I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am making some detailed html templates for my ebay listings. I have created my tables, graphics, and colors but I am having trouble with my font formatting. Everything is looking really good, but there are a few sentences and even just a few phrases that I want to underline but when I add a text decloration and underline, it just underlines the whole area of sentenses not the specific one that I highlited. I know how to create a h1, h2, h3 etc code and add underline to it, but I don't want to have to format a h1 or h2 tag everything I want to format a little line. The reason I have been doing this is because It really is one of the only ways I have been able to figure out how to underline something. I watched some tutorials which is how I learned this. I figured out in the properties Panel on bottom of page to click on the CSS rule to create certain codes and such, but I am not sure how to do this. I tried one thing which was where it says target rule, I clicked new CSS Rule and then in then in the CSS Styles Panel on right side of screen I selected add property which I was then able to do a text decloration and underline, but it underlines many more sentenses than I am wanting or have selected. Please help so I am able to specifically choose how to underline just a word or two, and even to have just a word or two specifiaclly be a certain font, size or color. I am able to find ways to make this work on words as a whole, but not individual words or phrases.
Thanks for any help its really appreciated!
Rylan

Bear in mind that an underlined word or phrase on the web means a clickable link to most people.
So, if you want to draw attention to something on screen, use anything (font size, color etc) except for an underline.
text-decoration: underline; is only used in CSS for styling clickable links. Not for regular text.
One option is to use the HTML tag combined with CSS.
CSS
.important {
font-size: 14px;
color: red;
This sentence contains a really important word

Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem

Hello,
I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
and still have the same problem.
Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Hello Again,
I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

I installed CS3 Design premium upgrade yesterday onto my new mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. You gave me a new serial number. I have been able to open Photoshop, Bridge, Dreamweaver and Flash. The Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat applications are not in my applications folder although there are folders in there with those names containing associated items. How can this have happened and what can I do?

Janetc72338130 what happens if you try to reinstall Illustrator CS3, InDesign CS3, and Acrobat? What version of Acrobat are you installing?

Is it a Bug? Integration between Dreamweaver and Fireworks is broken in somewhere?

I can not upload images related my topic here but you can see
it in the same topic at
http://www.fireworksguruforum.com/index.php?showtopic=14282
I use CS3 Suite. It is a big trouble for me in working on
real pages. Integration is broken in somewhere else and after that
point it becomes impossible to work on Fireworks through
Dreamweaver.
I've made test to show this trouble and I narrowed the
problem to the pictures as shown in the figures below,
1) In figure one I am creating a completely new Fireworks
file as arrow.png with two frames and one slice in it. After I am
saving it as .png I am exporting it as .html with images in /images
subfolder.
2) After saving and closing the file in Fireworks, in figure
two, I am opening the html in Dreamweaver and changing the page
properties by writing zeros to page margins and by changing the
default font.
-----I guess in this point something happens which breaks the
integration between FW and DW--------because;
3) In figure three I am opening the .png through Dreamweaver
(by "Edit") and changes the place and size of the slice a little
bit
4) When I press Done in Fireworks I see this picture in
figure four in Dreamweaver which shows integration between FW and
DW about table structure is broken. (In this point if I add any
behaviur to the slice DW doesn't recognize it, or any other change
in FW can not be recognized by DW)
5) In order to show this broken integration in table
sturucture, I am putting a new slice to png when Editing from DW in
FW.
6) When I click on Done in DW I see this picture on the
figure six. Beacuse FW doesn't have any effect on html's table
structure code.

I can reproduce your results, but I don't consider this a
bug; just a
limitation of Roundtrip editing.
You can't add or change slices without re-exporting the html
from
Fireworks. Roundtrip is for image editing, not for altering
the table
structure. If I edit, and re-export, my table remains intact.
If you want to edit the slices and resulting html, open the
PNG file
independently of Dreamweaver, change your slices and images
and then
choose File > Update HTML (this option is not available
when in
Roundtrip mode). FW will ask you to locate the html file.
When located,
you will have the options of
Replace Images and Their HTML - replaces the previous
Fireworks HTML.
Update Images Only - overwrites only the images.
As an aside, the rigid table created by FW is rarely
desirable for a
production web site.

How to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP

Hi there,
I would like to create a dynamic newsflash using dreamweaver and PHP in that the newsflash will be pulling information from a MySQL database. The newsflash should also have a link to view more information about the piece of news a user wants to know more about. Which tools do I need to use in dreamweaver and how's the procedure to go about that. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanx in advance!

I think you´ll need at least a MySQL table with the following columns:
- id (primary key, int, auto_increment etc)
- news_headline (varchar)
- news_teaser (text)
- news_content (text)
What I´d personally add are columns such as:
- news_date (date or datetime)
- news_external_link (varchar), if a "read more..." link is supposed to navigate to an external URL rather than displaying the contens of the "news_contents" column.
Based on such a MySQL table it should be easy to use Dreamweavers standard Server Behaviors to create the usual datalist.php, insert.php, update.php and delete.php documents, and there are numerous tutorials out there which will teach you how to do that.
Am I right when assuming that you´ll also need to know how to automatically pull, say, the 5 most recent news records from the database ?

Dreamweaver and Fireworks Webdesign

I can across this website, www.alphagraphicdesigns.com. They
have over 100 different styles to chose from for fireworks to use
in Dreamweaver and the pack that you can buy comes with components
for flash as well. I definitly recomend this site to anyone looking
for styles and button styles and vector images. I have looked
everywhere to try and find styles for fireworks and could not find
anything worth while until I can upon this website.

Dreamweaver and Fireworks?

Hi,
I have been using (very) old versions of Dreamweaver and Fireworks for the past few years, and am thinking about upgrading to the latest versions.
I see Fireworks is not part of Creative Cloud, but there is talk of Fireworks CS6 somehow being available through the service?
I basically just want to know my options of what to buy, and the Adobe site could not be less clear about how to get hold of Fireworks - I can see I can get Dreamweaver CC with a Single App subscription. How can I add Fireworks to this bundle? I really don't want the rest of the apps - just these two.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Alternatively - what has everyone moved to from Fireworks now that it is no longer being actively developed?

You can activate CS 6 version , if you have Creative Cloud full subscription
Can't download Firework CS6 through Creative Cloud
You can also purchase Fireworks CS 6 as standalone product :
Creative Suite 6

Is it legal to build a website template with dreamweaver and re distribute it?

I see this a lot in the world wide web and thought I would look into the legalities of this as I cannot seem to find any documentation on Adobe's website regarding the licensing of work created using Dreamweaver and redistributing it to others. Can anyone answer this credibly or point me to the proper jargon?

There are a couple of catches of course:
1) If you are using Education version or a Trial then you can't can't make money from it.
2) If you are using other people JS plugins/ HTML boilers etc then you must acquire permission before distributing them- this includes menus, sliders, responsive grid tools like mixit up isotope etc.
3) Media and Graphics included with a theme needs to be checked against the original authors.
