Dreamweaver changing symbols

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 for Windows on a MAC with Parallels (OS Lion). When I try to type the £ sign, Dreamweaver repalces it with a Hashtag, a symbol which does not appear on my Mac keyboard. Don't have this probelm in any other programme. How do I sort this?
Thanks,
Ian

I don't think the issue is with the encoding - this sounds more like a keyboard language issue. On UK keyboards, the £ symbol is shift/cmd+3 but on US keyboards that produces the # symbol. Normally on a Mac you would use Alt+3 to get the £ symbol with a US keyboard but it seems when using Windows it's a little different.
On Windows using a US keyboard - Alt+0163 gives the £ symbol (Note: this must use number pad on keyboard)
You can also change the keyboard language on the Windows machine by going to the control panel > regional > change keyboard language.

LIKE operator- change symbol for [all characters]

I have an input parameter which contains symbols "*" (star symbol), example:
i_search_par := 'country * street';
I gonna do query:
select * from SearchTable
where col1 like i_search_par;
I want that the "*" would act the same way as "%"-symbol in LIKE operator.
So i want that query would return such results:
'country 1 street'
'country 200 street'
and so on.
What is the better way to achieve this, that "*" is going to be interpreted as a "any number of any symbols"?
Maybe i can say something like:
SET SESSION ANYCHAR SYMBOL = "*".
And after doing that Oracle understands in LIKE operators that star-symbol is like i want?
Or should i really do string replacement by replacing ""%" to "*" in "i_search_par" and in other 30 such varaibles?

Hi,
Sorry, I don't think there's any way to tell LIKE to use different wildcards.

i_search_par1 := 'country * street';

i_search_par30 := 'country * street';Wouldn't it be just as easy to say:
i_search_par1 := 'country % street';
i_search_par2 := 'country % street';
i_search_par30 := 'country % street';?
>
And i will use them all like this:
select * from T
where Col1 like i_search_par1
and Col2 like i_search_par2
and
Col30 like i_search_par30You could write a very simple user-defined function. It would be slower, but the query would be a tiny bit simpler:
select * from T
where my_like (Col1, i_search_par1) = 1
and my_like (Col2, i_search_par2) = 1
and my_like (Col30, i_search_par30) = 1
Then you suggest that i sgould do string replacement 30 times for each parameter?Do you mean 1 time for each parameter, or 30 times altogether? Yes.
Isn't there better solution?
Maybe database has instruction that changes interpetation of symbol "*" into "%".It would be handy, but I don't think such a thing exists.

Change symbolic link to something else

Hi everybody.
this is what i have: Using the "lndir" command in terminal I have a folder full of symbolic links to an external hard drive that is now unconnected. I want to be able to have spotlight index/search this folder so that if there is something on that hard drive i will know about it (its actually going to be nine drives and tons of files). But of course, spotlight will not index or find symbolic links, so what I want to do is run a script or unix command that changes these pointers into some other kind of file that spotlight will see. Same name, same place, but different type.
Since i already have the physical folder layout of the disconnected drive, it doesnt matter to me if the links are destroyed, i just want to be able to search for a file name and know what drive/folder its in so I can avoid plugging in ten drives in a daisy chain.
I was wondering if there is a script or unix command i can run that will make a copy of any file that has an "L" type designation or just copy the file name onto a misc other kind of file.
Alternately, is there a way to change these symbolic links into regular "aliases" that spotlight can search? again it doesnt even matter to me if the aliases point to a dummy location.
I'm not very good at command line syntax, so if you have any suggestions, please explain in dummy cabbage-head terms that I can replicate. if what i want to do is impossible or doable through some available widget or script, those answers would be super as well. Or if there is a better solution than the "lndir" command that can maybe make the same kind of directory copy but with aliases instead or symbolic links?
any options or ideas welcome. thansk!

no, you misunderstand. I do NOT want the files contents to be there (i'm not crazy), i just want the files NAMES to be there and searchable (an offline catalog). They are ALREADY on my home drive in the perfect structure but since they are a file type spotlight wont catalog (being just a symbolic link pointer file) i would like to change the file type to something it can see and thus find. I mean if there was a program or script or shell or something that would look at a file named SHADOWFILE.JPG and made say an empty textfile called SHADOWFILE.JPG.TXT, made the TXT suffix invisible and deleted the original SHADOWFILE.JPG, i would be left with a searchable file name. Or if these pointers can be turned into Aliases (even if they dont point to anything) then spotlight will find them. I know that you can turn an alias into a symbolic link, so is it unreasonable to do the reverse?
If none of this is possible, I realize I can use standalone external catalogers, but that is just not as elegant as having a single search for both internal and external devices at the same time, basically it would require doing two searches instead of one. I think this is a worthy goal.

Change Symbol Position on Mouse RollOver, Add Points

Hello,
     I am just starting Flash CS3, and I would like some assistance with a game.
     In my game, a symbol (movieclip?) is inserted somewhere in the stage randomly. If you hover over it, it changes position automatically.
     I converted my target into a MovieClip, and made it possible to export for ActionScript.
     I put this in the ActionScript Class file
     class Target extends MovieClip
     I can't find the code I need to
          1) make target a button, graphic, or movieclip
          2) make the target randomly appear on the screen when frame is loaded
          3) make the target randomly move to a different place when hovered over
          4) make a score variable, and make it go up each time the target is hovered over.
     I have an idea of how to do #4, something like
     var score;
     function OnLoad ()
     score = 0
     function onEnterFrame ()
     score=+1 if {code for hover over symbol}
I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thank you,

Ipod always changing symbols

Hi,
If anyone reads this can you please help. For about a week now, my ipod is not working. When i plug it into my mac the charge battery symbol comes up and then when i plug it into a power source the unhappy ipod face comes up. I have tried to fix it over and over again by restoring it but it won't go into disk mode.
HELP!

See these troubleshooting articles.
My iPod is sad.
What does this picture on my iPod mean?
Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

Dreamweaver Changes Code

Mutter mutter!
Absolutely horrified - DW8.0.2 appears to act like a
Microsoft product and changes code on opening.
I have recently become aware that after having corrected
every fine detail to meet W3C validation - including changing from
<body onLoad=
to
<body onload=
to comply . Just fine!
Now whenever I return to open that same file to modify
content only - DW has reverted my code to <body onLoad=.
I thought only FrontPage did that. YUK!
Check it out here at one of my clients sites.
www.arkits.com/index.php
I am using the following DocType:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0

<html xmlns="

- Remove extra closing tags
- Warn when fixing or removing tags
- Never rewrite code with default extensions -.as .asr .asc

.php .php3 .vb .xml .xsl .xslt .xul

Can someone please explain and tell me what property setting

Dreamweaver changed (no sites, no server models any more)

It seems like from one moment to the other suddenly i lost all my SITES (the FTP-datas, which you can save as .ste) in Dreamweaver CS3. Also I cannot work with my ADDT extension, "missing the SERVER MODEL " . When I want to re-install Dreamweaver CS3 (which I have bought) it asks that I put in the CD for Dreamweaver CS4. What could have happened? Thanx for all tips.

I have re-installed the whole Adobe CS3 .. and everything works again.

Change symbols in playback control

My customer have symbols for play, pause and next that I must use in the playback control. The playback control should lay in the bottom of the frame (in the skin). Can I replace the symbols from one already existing playback control or do I have to create one by myself? In that case, how do I do?
I am working in CP5.5

You need to create your own custom playbar. This means you'll need to be versed in ActionScript 3. It's NOT a trivial exercise.
Some helpful information here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/11/playbars-demystified.html

Dreamweaver CS6 displaying the wrong icon for certain file types

I recently upgraded to the Maverick and I noticed that my Dreamweaver changed some of my files' icon to Acrobat Reader symbol. This does not represent the actual file type. My most important files, such as mp3 and m4v, are not displaying correctly. My concern is that it is affecting my website. How do I change the icons back to the original file type icons? Much needed help! Thanks!

What do local file associations have to do with your website? You have a severely wrong understanding of this stuff. Anyway, file associations on Mac can be changed using a right-click and Get Info and then choosing a new default program for the file type.

Dreamweaver, php-xml bug

I have a simple php file that generates an xml file. When I
save this file and close it, dreamweaver changes some of the
formatting when I reopen the file. Specifically, dreamweaver
de-capitalizes some of the text in the document.
Example:
The code:
$this->xml_request = '
<PickupType>
<Code>01</Code>
</PickupType>';
is converted to
$this->xml_request = '
<PickupType>
<code>01</code>
</PickupType>';
after the file is saved, closed, and reopened. Note the Code
tag has been chanced to code, which breaks the API I'm working
with. This xml is always within php code as above as I've been
using it..
This happens on several fields, Code and Address so far, and
happens to the same fields every time, no matter the document, or
how many times they appear in the document. No other tag names are
affected as far as I've found. I've tried completely uninstalling,
removing all configuration files, and re-installing Dreamweaver and
get the exact same affect every time.
I really need to get this bug / mis-configuration fixed. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
This is CS3 (DW9) running on XP Pro.

jestep,
In Preferences > Code Format, make sure that the "Override
case of"
settings for "Tags" is turned off.

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.

Import and use custom Illustrator Symbol Library in Photoshop?

I would like to import and use my own (project-specific) Illustrator Symbol Libraries in Photoshop
Background info
- I create BIG amounts of assets (for UI design) in Adobe Illustrator which I save as Symbols.
- I store these symbols in a custom symbol library so I can re-use them in a different file
- Reason A: to be able to re-use these symbols within the Illustrator file to visualize different "interaction flows" to my clients
- Reason B: I use vector assets because they allow me to accomodate for different screen resolutions in the future
Wish
A: I would like to be able to open the same symbol library I created in Illustrator in Photoshop and drag the symbols onto my Photoshop canvas
B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file
Question
- Does anyone know of a way to do this? A work-around, a plugin or a Script would be fine too...
regards, Koen

B: If I change a symbol in Illustrator it should be updated in my Photoshop file
Check out this Panel:
http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=3045&sid=70f368dca9bfd96f3c974ee11b798f9 7
But that is for placed Smart Objects, and would affect changed Symbols in ai-files naturally only if there were instances of them in the document.
Basically I find what you are asking pretty unrealistic* and would be surprised if an easy solution would be forthcoming.
Scripting might offer possible work-arounds that use BridgeTalk to get Illustrator content over to Photoshop, but that would probably be slow and not meet what you are expecting.
The possibly easiest approach might be to have a Script create a new Layer and place one Symbol on it for each one of the Symbols in Illustrator, then save a psd with Layers.
Why do you need the Symbols in Photoshop anyway, if I may ask?
Edit: *) unrealistic in terms of the functionality currently being realizable with a reasonable expenditure of resources; but I’m admittedly a layman with regard to that.

BIDDER Not allowed to change BID

Hello,
Running ECS SRM 5.0
The scenario is as follows. I create and publish a bid invitation. I receive 2 bids in return.
Then I change the bid inivitation before I accept or reject. However, then the bidders are not allowed to change their bids. If I as purchaser am logged on and use the functionality of surrogate bidder, I can change. But when I am logged on as the bidder himself, the change symbol is greyed out
any ideas why?

Hi,
please check
header level of bid invitation, option Bid May be Changed (Is it checked?)
Pls reward points for useful answers.
