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 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....

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Errors, Spry widget not working. Please Help!

    I am redesigning a website and downloaded an html file from the present contact page. I opened it in Dreamweaver and I started to have this errors. The html file I opened has some JavaScripts in it and I believe, the the scripts got a conflict with Dreamweaver CS4. I already deleted these files I tried to open and still I'm encountering these errors.
    These are the errors I'm getting:
    1. When I open the Dreamweaver, this message pop-ups:
       "While executing onLoad in RecordsetFind.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "RecordsetFind"
        findRs is not defined."
    2. I click OK. Then I'm getting this message:
       "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
        onOpen is not defined."
    3. I just click OK. Then, when I open an html file to edit or create a new one, this error pops up again:
       "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
        onOpen is not defined."
    4. I will again just click OK, then this error appears:
       "The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
        Coldfusion.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
        SpryWidget.htm: has configuration information that is invalid."
    5. Then, I will just click OK again. Then, when I'm working with the projects or creating a new project with Spry, it is not working properly anymore. I have to go the code and update the Spry list or content manually.
    6. When I close Dreamweaver, I'm always having this error:
       "While executing onLoad in TeamAdminTempDelete.html, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
        In file "TeamAdminTempDelete"
        delTempFile is not defined"
    I tried uninstalling the Dreamweaver and installing it again, but it did not work.
    What should I do to make the spry working again and to remove all these annoying errors? By the way, all my Spry widgets are not working and these errors I'm encountering in all of the Sites I'm working on. How can I make it work again? I tried looking for troubleshoot in CS4, but I could not see one, only in CS3.
    Please help.

  • 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)

  • 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.
    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?
    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.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 and Front Page

    I am rather new to Web design and editing. Currently I have Dreamweaver CS4 installed under Vista 64. Now I need to update a Web site designed in Front Page. What would you recommend as the best way to clean up the old code? Has anyone used the DW extensions (Import Front Page Site Wizard, Cleanup Front Page HTML Sitewide, Publish Web command) for DW MX2004 on Vista 64 bit?

    How are you exporting? If you want a working button dirextly from FW with no other coding then export as HTML and images then in Dreamweaver Insert>Image objects>Fireworks HTML
    BUT the better way is to make the button with rollovers (images will be placed in frames) export images, be sure current frame only is not checked and export. In Dreamweaver insert button then use the swap image behavior for the rollover. When you exported from Fireworks the rollover image is appended with the number 2.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 - Twitter Client (Widget)

    Hi
    I am using the Dreamweaver CS4 Widget Browser "Twitter Client" by Andres Cayon.
    It works really well but I want to try and remove the disappearing feed which occurs after 6 days. 
    At the current time only tweets which are less than 6 days old are shown.
    I want to try and remove this rule and instead display the last 20 tweets which will not be removed.
    Can anyone help modify the "twitter_search.js" code ?

  • 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 CS5 on Same Computer

    I am thinking of upgrading to CS5.5 from CS 4. I would like to know if it is ok to have and use both versions on the same computer. I have projects ongoing in my current version and don't want to have to reconfigure them to operate correctly in the new version. I plan to start new projects in the new version in the future.
    What do you think?

    I would tend to agree with Hans. Chances are that unless you need to support a website with methods that are no longer part of the new version of Dreamweaver, you won't need to have both versions.
    I have something like 50 websites that are built in Dreamweaver CS3 and upgraded about a month ago to CS 5.5. Both versions of Dreamweaver coexist quite well on my Mac Pro under Snow Leopard and I am able to run both versions of Dreamweaver simultaneously, each with a different website open at the same time.
    Both versions also successfully upload information to my server and, in fact, I can have both transmitting data to the same VPS server at the same time.
    I have one website that is using a Flash-based slideshow created in Dreamweaver CS3 that I have not updated to the more modern jQuery. Once I update that, I will be able to switch completely to CS 5.5 for all of my websites. There is absolutely no difference in the HTML or CSS code generated by the two applications, as the standards for HTML and CSS are precisely the same.
    And Dreamweaver CS 5.5 can be made to look and act like Dreamweaver CS3 (or very close to it) by simply changing how one's code view and design view are laid out (I prefer code to be on top and design to be beneath, rather than the default side-by-side view indroduced with CS5).
    I also needed to check off the checkbox in Preferences>New Document "Include Unicode Signature (BOM)" because that is not required for standard English and Roman-alphabet based websites and will flag an error in the W3C Validator.
    That's pretty much it. I do like the "Live Code" view, though I always check things in a web browser and check things again in several web browsers once uploaded to the server.
