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?

Go to this guy's profile, where you will see his blog address. Go there and you'll find links to old versions. Very handy! Make sure you follow the instructions about logging into Adobe etc first to the letter or it won't work.

Dreamweaver cs4 and css

I was using Dreamweaver MX2004 befor and now am trying to use Dreamweaver CS4. and not very familiar with it
My question is:
Is there is a parameter or option that I hsve to set in the Dreamweaver preferences so that I can modify attributes
to text without having to create a CSS rule? Because actualy, everytime I want to modify the appearance of text I am asked to create a new CSS
Tank you for your attention
Bert

I'm afraid that you will have to tough this one out and learn some CSS. There is no way to retrograde DWCS4 so that it works like a version that is 4 years older.
Once you spend a few minutes on this task, you'll wonder what all the angst was about. It's really very simple. And you will have to get beyond the old (and BAD) habit of styling your content using the Property inspector....

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3?

Can I upgrade from CS2 to CS4 and skip CS3? It would save me time.

Colin,
>But I did exactly what everyone on here said they did, went onto adobe.com to do our research, saw that the upgrade works from CS2-CS4
Adobe shows there are multiple versions of the suites on their site and clearly points the way for purchasing at the Adobe Store. Just for the heck of it, I also went to MacMall.com and MacConnection.com, two well-known online resellers. I checked their Adobe CS4 upgrades, and they clearly indicate which older versions they are meant to go with. Not quite so clear from MacZone.com and a few other reseller sites I visited.
>I am an IT person for a printing company, and as such I spent hours upon hours preparing for this transition.
It took me just a few minutes to find the correct version I needed.
>no one can tell the difference, and most vendors don't know it exists. We could help you, but you didn't buy it from us."
Maybe the reseller you bought from is just sloppy and didn't mark the SKUs properly. But how is this Adobe's fault -- particularly when other vendors can and DO get it right?
Also as both Mac and Win upgrades are pretty much determined and marketed the same way, what does this sloppiness have to do with Mac market share?
But that said, there is enough good information on the Adobe site that should trigger some questions if you as the IT guy have any doubts and are responsible for buying for your company. At the least, doesn't it make sense to call Adobe and ask which SKUs you should buy? It could've saved hours of research time.
If you truly did your research and purchasing carefully and were still fooled, I suggest you start with a complaint to the reseller who sold you the goods.

Dreamweaver CS4 and Coldfusion 8 - help on configuration

Hi Guys,
I'm not a Coldfusion user and I cant find anything from the support docs. I hope you can shed some light on my issue. I really need some help on this.
Here's my set up:
Dreamweaver CS4/CS3 installed on a Win XP Pro SP2 machine
Coldfusion 8 installed on Windows 2003 server (http://[servername]:8500). IIS is also running on the server.(http://[servername])(Testing Server)
Coldfusion 8 is located in C:\Coldfusion
wwwroot = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot
Coldfusion is on Trial mode right now. Installed as a self-contained server (first radio button in installation)
Built in webserver was selected also during the installation
RDS Password enabled
Issue:
When I define a site in Dreamweaver CS4/CS3, I cannot connect to the Coldfusion part of the testing server.
I tried both Local/Network and FTP but I can't connect.
Here's the sample information the i put in the site definition of Dreamweaver under the Advanced Tab.
1st example:
Category: Testing Server
Access: FTP
FTP Host: [servername]:8500
Host Directory: /test
username: [username]
password: [password]
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/test
** I tried checking and unchecking the checkboxes under password
Error: FTP Error Occured
2nd example:
Category: Testing Server
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: [servername]:8500\test
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/test
Here's the interesting part on this setup. When I go to the Basic tab to test the connection for the testing server, I get this message, "[servername]:8500\temp.html contains an invalid path". After I hit OK, "The URL Prefix test was successful." message appears
My Questions:
what's wrong with my setup? Is my prefix correct?
what else do i need to configure?
is Coldfusion conflicting with the IIS on my server? Should I configure Coldfusion to work with IIS rather than setting it up as a built in webserver?
What questions do I need to ask? XD
I hope someone can help me on this or guide me to the right path. I can access the files when type http://servername:8500 on the browser though.
Help please? Thanks in advance!
-dis

Port 8500 is the port the built in web server is listing to to respond to client requests. To view ColdFusion code on the server you would put http://servername:8500/myCFMLfile.cfm in a browser.
To have your Dreamweaver help you write these files you just need to tell it how you want to connect to servername.
For FTP you would need FTP enabled on servername and be able to FTP to c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\ on servername. Then you would set up something like this in Dreamweaver
FTP HOST: servername
Host Directory: ???
(depends on what your FTP root is for the FTP server on servername and how it relates to c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
username: ...
password: ...
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/
(What you would put into the URL of a browser.)
For Local/Network you just write the file to the c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\ directory on servername. This assumes that this directory is shared and available to users over the network. Which it probably is by the little known drive hidden share default on most windows systems.
Access: local/network
Testing Server Folder: \\servername\c$\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
(Or other UNC path to the desired network folder)
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/
(Still what you put into the URL of a browser)

Installing Dreamweaver CS4 while keeping CS3 web premium 1603 error

Hi,
I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS4 but I also have creative suite 3 web premium installed and want to keep all the cs3 programs except for dreamweaver cs3 because I'm upgrading to CS4. When I try to install it I get the infamou 1603 error.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Unregister everything CS3 and remnants of failed CS4 installs using the CS4 Clean Utility. Also include Acrobat Reader. Manually uninstall AIR-based stuff using the "Add or Remove Programs" panel. Then try again.

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.

Dreamweaver CS4 and SVN

Hi all,
I decided it's time to delve into subversion as my projects are starting to get bigger and more complex.
I'm still in dreamweaver cs4 at the mo and using a mac with MAMP as my local server.
I followed this tutorial (for CS5 but thought it could be translated to CS4) - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/using_subversion_pt1.html
I managed to set up the SVN on the mac using terminal but could not locate the file svn-passwd, instead found 'passwd' in the repo directory. So I added a password to this in hopes this would be OK.
When I try to set up the svn in dreamweaver, I get the following error "Server and project are not accessible."
I have my website file under a directory in htdocs and in a seperate directory called svn I have the svn files, this is also in htdocs.
I haven't touched MAMP so I'm assuming I should of added something to this or it's to do with the password file.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Dreamweaver CS4 uses an old Subversion client (1.4), which is incompatible with later versions. See: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/error-svn-155021-cannot-update.html.
Even if you manage to get it working on your machine, be prepared for a lot of problems. Subversion integration in Dreamweaver has not been very successful. I tested it at the time DW CS4 was released because I needed to write about it in a book, but I abandoned it soon after. Most people who use Subversion with Dreamweaver seem to end up using a separate Subversion client rather than relying on the DW version. Apart from version incompatibilities, the main problem with the DW implementation is that it doesn't perform the full range of Subversion commands.

Dreamweaver CS4 and Photoshop elements 10

Can i intergrate Photoshop elements to work with Dreamweaver cs4, Photoshop shows up on the editor button in Dreamweaver but when i try to use it it tells me it cannot find the file, even thought i no the file is there, Is there some setting i am missing here ?
Tony.

I don't have Photoshop Elements to test with, but you should be able to associate it with image types in Dreamweaver.
Open the Preferences panel from the Edit menu (Windows) or the Dreamweaver menu (Mac), and select File Types/Editors in the column on the left.
Select an image type in the Extensions field, and then select the program you want to use as the editor in the Editors field. I doubt if Photoshop Elements will be listed, but you can add it by clicking the plus button above Editors. Navigate to the Photoshop Elements application file, and select it. Then click the Make Primary button.
You need to do this for each type of image you want to edit in Photoshop Elements.
Click OK when done.

Dreamweaver CS4 and Web Widgets

Hey All,
I wanted to let you know that the new version of Dreamweaver
is now available.
We rounded out the form validation widget support in this
version and we now support HTML data sets. We have also added some
stater pages for Spry pages: Master/Detail pages and other common
page layouts.
Some of you here were asking about widgets from other
frameworks that you saw mentioned in the public beta.
We are also announcing web widgets for Dreamweaver. These are
widgets that other developers have packaged for use in Dreamweaver.
You can see the first batch now at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=290&l=-1&event=produ ctHome&exc=3
Phatfusion and mootools is first to go up, with YUI and
jQuery widgets to follow very soon.
How did they make these widget extensions?
They used the just released web widget Packager:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Dreamweaver_Widget_Packager
This takes a XML file that the developer makes that describes
the widget. They feed that into the Packager and it automatically
creates the extension. It's pretty slick.
Check them out!
Thanks,
Donald Booth

just checked out today, Dreamweaver CS4 still use Spry
1.6.1....
so where we can find updated "form validation widget" and
"HTML data sets"? is it available in Spry 1.6.1 zip package? or it
only available on DW CS4?
I think you misunderstand the message. Those
widgets are newly add to the Dreamweaver panels (dataset wizzard
now allowes you to choose HTML data sets and XML data sets) and the
validation widgets can be found in the insert panel.
The widgets are not new, they just have been add to
Dreamweaver.

Dreamweaver CS4 and PHP require_once, require, include_once, include absolute paths

I have a question about Dreamweaver CS4's new functionality that lists required and included files in a second row below the name of the file you are currently editing. It's handy.
I see that Dreamweaver attempts to list all the included files for a given page so that it is easier to find and edit those files.
For example. If I had a HTML document called index.html that linked to a CSS document called style.css, when I open index.html, Dreamweaver CS4 lists style.css in a row below index.html.
My problem is this. This new functionality works on absolute paths and relative paths for HTML elements. For example, it can find and link to CSS files regardless of if the src tag is relative or absolute (/css/style.css)
REFRESHER: absolute paths start with a "/" as in "/css/style.css" and relative paths do not start with a "/" as in "css/style.css" or "../../css/style.css"
However, PHP files that are linked to the current page via require, require_once, include, or include_once, only appear to work if you use a relative path.
So this would work in Dreamweaver:
require_once('../lib/config.php');
But this would not
require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
As any PHP developer knows, you are never supposed to use relative paths with included or required files. Especially if your site has multiple levels of sub directories. Relative paths are relative to the calling php document. It causes a bunch of problems. I can explain how if you want.
How can I tell Dreamweaver that the base directory on my apache web server for my domain...
/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/
... is the equivalent of the base directory on my home computer where dreamweaver accesses my files.
C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\
So that when I write...
require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
... how can I force dreamweaver understand that "/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/" is the same as "C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\" on my home computer. So that way, this new Dreamweaver CS4 submenu feature can find and link to the correct file.
Essentially, can I define Dreamweaver "include paths" for Dreamweaver to search in if the file I'm trying to include is not in the same directory?

Perhaps you ought to inform the PHP documentation team. All the examples in the PHP manual use relative paths.

Dreamweaver parses only relative paths in PHP includes. The Related Files feature was a new addition in Dreamweaver CS4, so it's not 100% perfect. Having the ability to define your own include_path for Dreamweaver to parse would be a useful improvement.

Dreamweaver CS4 and IE 5.2 for Mac problem

I'm testing my new/first website. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4. The horizontal Spry Menu bar works fine in Internet Explorer and Safari but not in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac 5.2.3 (5815.1). The horizontal menu bar becomes vertical and the submenus are not available. I've run browser compatablity tests for every Web page and my CSS files and they come back "no issues detected." What can I do to correct the problem? I have a PC (Vista) and have been using my neighbor's Mac to check the browser. Thank you.

Do not worry if your site does not function at all in IE for Mac. That is deprecated software that has not been developed since Jaguar/Panther. It in no way reflects IE on Windows and statistics prove the majority of Mac users use Safari or Firefox with Camino and Opera in behind them.
