Dreamweaver - Contribute issue

In Dreamweaver:
I created a template with 2 editable areas: pageheading and content
I inserted text and a table onto 1 page - saved as summary.htm
and saved everything
if I look at the code the "" is in the correct position in summary.htm
In Contribute:
when I open and attempt to edit the table in summary.htm, I am unable to do so
I can't edit the table (ie, insert a row) or edit the existing content
when I look at the defined editable area (outlined with the blue dashed line) the table is not included (but is in the area if I look at it in Dreamweaver)
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Very Confused

It should be  in your page files and  in the template file.

Dreamweaver Contribute Adds Blank Lines

I'm having trouble with the Dreamweaver/Contribute relationship. I work in Dreamweaver and set my client up to work in Contribute. Over time thousands (200,000) blank lines are added into the file. Normally I use Command>Apply Formatting but eventually the file is so corrupted that this doesn't work and I have to rebuild the file and start over.
Any ideas how to set up Dreamweaver/Contribute so that this does not happy. Or any other problem solving techniques greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Please refer to https://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/paragraph_spacing_options_in_a.html.
Hope this solves your problem.

MySQL to DreamWeaver connectivity issue specific to Stored Procedures

Hi there,
I have a MySQL to DreamWeaver connectivity issue specific to
Stored Procedures.
The driver I am currently using is
mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar.
Although basic row and column tree is exposed in Adobe
DreamWeaver 8's Application Pallette, my stored procedure is not.
My serverside technology is Coldfusion(MX7).
My environment is:
Server: MS Windows 2003 (Small Business Server) using IIS.
Client: MS Window XP-Pro.
According to the driver documentation
mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar appears to be capable of
handling stored procedures:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-j-useagenotes-basic.html#connector-j-exam ples-stored-procedure
I could be wrong but the evidence suggests that support for
this feature is not available from Adobe.
I have already invested a certain amount of time in this
sub-project. I would, therefore, be most grateful to anyone who can
provide me with a solution to this.

OK.
Figured out the 'stored proceedure' problem. I had two 'Connection' folders, one of which was a sub-folder, that pointed to the same database but with slightly different configuration details. Removed the 'wrong' folder and all seems to be sorted.

Dreamweaver/Contribute/CSS issues

Anyone run into issues when creating a site with Dreamweaver and an external CSS and having information edited in Contribute add in-line styles? It is a pain in the rear to continually go back and edit out the in-line styles when the purpose of using contribute is to free me up from that type of content editing.
Any advise would be wonderful.
Eric

interesting to find this topic....since I too am having this
problem. I am unable to connect to my tables in my db. even if I
pull up existing pages that are working fine, and try to pull up a
recordset .... get error....
"unable to retreive tables from this connection, click on the
'define..." button to test this connection"
then I go to advanced in the create recordset window and get
the error....
"error calling get tables; an unidentified error has
occured".
has anyone seen this or know how to fix....please help.

Dreamweaver Template/Contribute Issue

I have a template created in Dreamweaver that has a bunch of
CFINCUDES in it. When you view the page in Contribute, the page
renders just fine but when you go to edit mode, a bunch of little
yellow CF icons show up for each CFINCLUDE. I know that this isn't
going to fly and we are supposed to be demoing Contribute to staff
tomorrow. What do I need to do in order for them to render in edit
mode or is that not happening? They are not in sections of the
template that people can edit.

From my experience, you can't. I use PHP in my pages and it
just turns them into little PHP yellow icons, the same as it would
in dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver & Contribute Administration Problem

I've got an odd scenario for a client site that I
inherited after several other developers were involved over the
past 2 years... I fear that the one who created the Contribute
Administration interface is the one where there are some other
legal problems involved, and there is no relationship left. If I
contacted them, they would not cooperate. Sad but true.
What I want to do is remove the previous Contribute linkage
and then reinstall a new Contribute site administration that I can
drive henceforth. I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 (still) and have no
problem at all in accessing a client site via FTP, but the second
problem is that I don't actually have total access to the hosting
server panel as usually is the case. So, if this is going to
involve deleting specific files, I'll need to know what to look for
(if it's within my view) or what to direct the hosting contractor
to find & delete.
I presently update all content on the existing site design,
but that's not very efficient and it's expensive at my rates for me
to doing the day-to-day content update that the client could easily
manage themselves via Contribute. Every time I first access the
server via Dreamweaver FTP to upload new files, I'm prompted about
enabling Contribute connectivity. I have Contribute, but don't have
this client's Contribute Administration keys or details. Those are
forever lost, I'm afraid.
I've recently redesigned the site, and it would be ideal to
enable my client to use Contribute. However, I'm caught in a loop
since there is no way to access the orignal Contribute site keys.
How can I find and remove the existing Contribute Administration,
then reinstall Contribute with new Contribute Administration of the
site? If I try to administer the site via Dreamweaver (Manage Site
- Contribute tab), once it checks through the cache, I get an error
that says "Could not find a page at the specified site root URL.
Please check the site root URL." I'm wondering if the previous
developer may have actually deleted something just to be nasty...
they were pretty vile and unprofessional about a lot of things.
This is far from the typical scenario I'm used to where I
always have total control over the hosting environment, too.
However, relative to an e-commerce component of their site, when
I've had issues and knew what to ask for, the site hosts have been
pretty responsive. I might be able to ask for specific files to be
removed if I could only know what to direct them to do.
Any ideas? Many thanks.

Alternative:
download the contribute.xml file and open it in a text
editor.
There is a way to reset the contribute Admin password if you
get this far
and want to leave the setup as-is but don't know the
password.
i can google for the answer i've given in the past, short
version of what i
remember, look in the .xml file for
password="randomcharacters" and change
it to password="" meaning password has no contents.
upload the contribute.xml file to same location on the remote
server.
then login using contribute admin, and when prompted for
password don't type
anything, just hit enter key. Then reset the password.

Please help with Contribute issue- Adobe or anyone!

My issues are many- I don't know where to start. First, as a long-time Adobe customer, I can not believe how support has declined- I really miss my "support package" from the early 90's when I spoke with a person who really knew how to address my problems and/or questions. I am so tired of being outsourced to someone who has no idea how to address my problem- only to send me to "Document #8932023912 03" off of the Adobe website. I want to talk to someone who KNOWS and APPRECIATES this product, and who understands its internal behavior (like what I get when I call MAC SUPPORT). I will pay for it! I have invested thousands of dollars on Adobe software and am now at an unacceptable standstill.
My small business relies on the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and the Contribute program. Up until now, I have never had a complaint, especially after moving to Mac a few years ago. Troubles started after two things (still not sure what the culprit was) - installing Snow Leopard and installing a Wacom Bamboo tablet (on the same day- my bad). Well, Illustrator, Photoshop work just fine as well as my other non-Adobe programs. But I can't even open InDesign (will post this on the proper post) or Contribute. So Apple had me deduce that I needed to create a new User and try things there. I eventually migrated to this new user but still, I cannot use Contribute.
I have set permissions with the program and contents of the folder- in addition to my Contribute keys to no avail. I can't even open it. Nor can I open it in my Root user which at least lets me run In Design. I am at a total loss and I need to update a website for my client. PLEASE someone, I would so greatly appreciate any advice or instruction as to how to run Contribute on my new user. Or in my Root user. I just need to get it to open! Reinstall did nothing PLEASE HELP.
A special note to anyone from Adobe: I want to talk to someone via a support package-- NOT outsourced. Does this fee-based option exist? It doesn't seem to from the main support number. If someone can help direct me, I would appreciate the proper instruction to do so. I need to get my InDesign running again and I have already invested multiple hours, days with Adobe support with NO solution at all. This is unacceptable in my mind, especially for the moneys invested.
Thank you in advance... Aimee M.

I totally share your views on Adobe period. I loved Macromedia., they also answered all my questions, then Adobe had to buy them out! I called them today (sales Dept., that's where they answer rather quickly., of course), they explained the following: You can pay for a live person, but the prices differ in that they come in packages. In other words, you can pay a flat rate per hour for one-on-one OR pay for one-on-one tech support 5 times per month, and the amount of times per month vary from that point on., and so does the price! I'm baffled! They are HORRIBLE!! . Like yourself, am on a standstill ever since I've been stuck with not being able to publish my site with current edits and it gives me a message whereas my own company name is "currently editing the page," so it keeps kicking out. I've tried everything, including but not limited to the following: going to the library and checking out books to troubleshoot; going on Adobe pages for support as well the Help features on the software program., etc...I'm exhausted! ADOBE you guys need to reassess your Customer Care Support and your outsourcing business as well!!! YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR CUSTOMERS RATHER QUICKLY!!

Dreamweaver 8 issues with Photoshop CS (8)?

I hate to start a new thread about this, but I can't find
anything anywhere to help me out.
So, I have a website that displays the pages of a magazine
and people can flip through using arrow buttons, etc. I use one of
Photoshop CS's Web Gallery formats that I tweaked out. The only
thing I change each time is I open up the SubPage file from
Photoshop's presets folder into Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I change
the file name of what I want the "Contents" button to link to.
Basically - open - change number - save. That's it. I run the Web
Gallery script in Photoshop and it does the rest.
Anyway, I just upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and now the end
result is all screwy. Nothing is linked right and things have
shifted all over the place. If I don't touch the original file and
run it, everything works perfect (obviously the contents link
doesn't match though).
Bottom line, once I open the file and save it in Dreamweaver
8, that is when my problems occur. Is there something I'm missing
between MX 2004 and 8 that's causing these issues?
Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

What you are seeing is the recovery file, not the original, if it opens as untitled.
The report that Bob clipped was a hang, not a crash. Does ID actually close on its own? If so, find the crash report and post it on pastebin.com. If not, see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding for instructions on how to generate the hang report and force a crash to get a report, and post them both, then put links here.

Dreamweaver 8 - Issue saving to Mac partion from Windows

I just bought an Intel Mac, which I'm running Windows on
using Bootcamp (as all my Adobe software is for Windows). I use a
software called MacDrive, so when I'm working in Windows I can
access files saved on the Mac partion. But I'm having issues saving
files in Dreamweaver to the Mac partion. Everything appears to save
correctly, until I go back and open the file, and see that the end
of the file will have leftover data in it from the previous save.
For example, if I remove two lines of code from an HTML file, then
when I re-open the file, I'll have a duplicate set of
</body></html> tags leftover from the previous version
of the file. I do not have this problem when editing and saving
files to the Mac partion using Notepad or any other Windows
program, only Dreamweaver.
Has anyone here had a similar problem? If so, were you able
to fix it somehow? If not, would you be willing to help me contact
Adobe to get this issue solved? Thank you for your time.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
cross-grade I
have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
based to MAC based
in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
laptop with
an imac pro, my next desktop purchase will be mac as well
With the current CS3 I will just be running in parralels, but
I asked about
when cs4 comes around if I could just upgrade to the mac
version. I was
told by a cs rep that this is not possible I would have to
purchase a fresh
install. Is this not correct, is there a way around it?
thanks,
randy

Dreamweaver Namespace issue on my web server

I am hosting my site on GoDaddy.com. I have created a site
using Dreamweaver CS3 and SQL2005. Everything works great on my
local machine, but when I upload it to the remote web server, the
aspx pages do not work. GoDaddy support says it is due to the
second line in every one of my aspx pages, specifically the
namespace attribute. From what I've read, this is automatically put
into every page created by Dreamweaver that contains an asp/asp.net
control. GoDaddy's response is to remove this line from my page and
everything will work great, which obviously it will not. I really
would not like to have to rebuild 32 + aspx pages after already
developing them in Dreamweaver. The actual line they say is causing
the problem is below:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MM" Namespace="DreamweaverCtrls"
Assembly="DreamweaverCtrls,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=836f606ede05d46a,culture=neutra l"
%>
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get around this
issue?

Hi Brian,
maybe it's your browser that's hiding the error message, if
using MSIE then
please disable the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" option
in Internet
Options.
If that doesn't reveal the error message, try editing the
web.config that
dreamweaver generated for you with the following settings,
(add any missing
settings, and leave the connectionstrings that dreamweaver
has setup intact)
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<trace
enabled="true"
traceMode="SortByCategory"
requestLimit="10"
pageOutput="false"
localOnly="false"
/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Debug Compilation should give more insight inrto compilation
errors, which
can allso be done at the page level via<% @ Page
debug=true" %>
Custom Errors Off will disable any error pages that may be
shown in case of
an error, seting it to "emoteOnly" will only thow these page
to external
visitors, but since you are not working on the server that
actually makes
little sense.
The trace setting should enable a HTTP Handler that allows
you to view trace
information from /trace.axd in the root of your website,
enabling pageOutput
will inject the tracing information into every page, which
can allso be done
at the page level via <% @ Page trace=true" %>
There settings do have a performance impact because they are
enabled for
every request in the application, once you've got the errors
out disable
them at the application level and enable them per-page.
Hope this helps
Joris

Dreamweaver 8 issue.

I have Dreamweaver 8 running on Windows Vista (yes its an old version of DW). The interface / menus in DW look fine but when I open any html file the font/code is faint and blurry. I thought it might be a corrupted font issue but all other programs on my PC work / look fine. Anyone know how to fix? I did try to re-install it.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a

Dreamweaver preview issue with Safari 4.0

Description of Issue :
Recently I have upgraded my Safari browser to version to 4.0, after this was completed when I'm in dreamweaver design view I cannot preview my work in Safari as it comes up with a blank web page and opens the folder that the template is stored in, can you provide any solution to why this is hapening as it never happened before I upgraded, also I can view the webpage
in Firefox so I know its nothing to do with my Mac?

Does anyone know where you can go besides here to post to ask about this problem. I called Adobe tech support and they said they don't support Safari, so they would not help. They were nice though.
Although this thread has a high viewership compared to others, I wish more people would post, if they are having a problem so we can get some traction, and maybe Adobe will find this and we can get an answer or a work around.
I'm running Safari 4.0.2. I have run DiskWarrior and done a complete systems check and update, including correcting permissions trying to figure this out. Hopefully someone has an answer. I have also thrown away my Preference file.
I recently had to delete my Acrobat plug-in for Safari because I could not load PDF's in the browser. This was on the advice of an Adobe tech support guy. (he said you didn't need the plug-in anymore with Safari 4). Maybe this has something to do with it?

Dreamweaver Template Issues

Heyyy,
I have been trying to set up some Dreamweaver Template files.
I have defined an editable region for the content to go in, I then create a new file using this template and start editing the page. However when I put in too much content, the editibale region doesnt flow or stretch its height to match the content. (I have attached a screenshot of DW to show that the design looks fine, but you can tell that the content overflows the editable region guidelines)
This isn't a problem in any browser apart from IE7 (which I have attached a screenshot of to show you what is happening) where the content doesn't display properly.
I was just wondering if anyone might know how to correct this issue? If I need to provide any more details, code or screenshots it would be great if you could let me know. And thanks for any help offered!
Cheers,
Ezra

Ezra-The best thing you can do to get help on this is put that page out there on a web server and provide a link. That will give the very helpful people here all the resouces needed to view what might be causing your problem. If you don't do this, it's just a guessing game that really nobody wants to play.

Dreamweaver FTP Issues

I've had quite a bit of trouble with my Dreamweaver the last few days. It has issues connecting to my remote server, which is hosted by InMotion hosting. It keeps timing out constantly, but then every once in a while it will work just fine. I don't understand it. I tried using Filezilla and it works just fine, connects perfect. So I contacted my hosting company to see if they might have any idea and they just said everything was good on their end and that I should contact Adobe. They did however say that, after looking at the FTP error log, my dreamweaver was trying to contact unknown directories? He specifically stated that it was trying to upload to a folder called '_mm' in my public_html folder. I cannot find much information on this and I've tried playing with some settings, including passive FTP. I'm using Dreameaver CS5 Version 11.0 Build 4909.

There is an article about the "mm" folder - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d9310-7ff a.html . So is the problem that DW cannot create the folder on the remote end? Or cannot write to the folder? Uploading to any folder in your public_html folder should not be an issue unless there is a write/permissions issue on the server.

Dreamweaver / Contribute problems

I am not an experienced user (I work with a non-profit, and
we learn
as we go), so I apologize if this is a simple question...
The logic board on my computer crashed, so I lost access to
the
Dreamweaver files of our site on my computer. While it was
being
repaired, I set up a Contribute connection on another
computer so I
could edit pages that needed immediate attention. Now, I have
my
computer back, and am trying to sync my Dreamweaver files
with the
pages on the server, and it won't let me have access to any
pages that
I changed through Contribute. Help, please! What do I need to
do?
Thanks,
Susan

> and it won't let me have access to any pages that
> I changed through Contribute
Is there an error or warning message? if yes- what exactly is
it?
as a guess the files are still out as drafts or some other
thing that has
them checked out so no one else should edit them. Simple
check in /check out
problems can be easily over come in dreamweaver by clicking
past the nag
screens.
