Dreamweaver CS4 Site-Definition

Wenn ich in der Site-Definition einen Ordner auswählen will, wird immer der übergeordnete Ordner ausgewählt. Ich muss also immer einen (sinnlosen) Unterordner anlegen und diesen auswählen, damit der gewünschte Ordner ausgewählt wird. Früher hat das super geklappt, erst seit ich einen neuen PC mit windows7 habe, ist dieses Problem. Zusammenhang mit neuem PC oder windows7? Am Screenshot sieht man, dass oben bei Auswählen: der (gewünschte) Ordner wunschordner ausgewählt ist, unten aber bei Auswählen: der nicht gewünschte Überordner v4. Wenn man jetzt auf Auswählen klickt, wird leider v4 als Stammordner festgelegt.

Keinen Plan. Könnte durchaus eines dieser kleinen Kompatibilitätsprobleme sein...

  • Losing formatting in Dreamweaver CS4 site

    Hello all! So frustrated!
    I have built the rough design of a site in Dreamweaver CS4 using tables to do a lot of the formatting for a lot of information. For some reason, all of a sudden I have lost all table formatting when the site is viewed in any browser. In addition, I have lost some of my spry menu formatting (background color of menu bar) and hyperlink formatting when viewed online even though absolutely nothing looks wrong to me on the design view. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
    Two examples...they are different as we are still deciding on colors:

    All browsers will view html and css errors differently. DW Design View isn't a browser though and typically shows you something other than what will be viewed in the real browsers. You can't rely on it for giving you anything but an approximation of what your site could look like.
    Always use Preview In Browser to see your actual page in the various browsers. IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera are the minimums I test for on Desktops. I test iOS Safari and Android for mobile by putting everything on a local test server and accessing it via WiFi with a couple of phones (since every emulator I've seen so far has been just as bad as DW's Design View).
    HTML and CSS errors are a major cause of display problems/differences between the various browsers/versions/platforms. You should become very familiar with the validators. In addition to the one already given, here is the CSS validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

  • Dreamweaver CS4 - Site pages disappearing

    I have been using Dreamweaver CS4 since it first came out and I've created and maintain over 75 sites on the same hosting service, I also have created and maintain many sites on other hosting services. I just started having a very strange problem. This problem has happened with one site that is hosted with my hosting service (Inmotion Hosting) and one site that is hosted elsewhere. Here is what happened today (this is the site that is NOT hosted with my current hosting company)
    I started working on this site last week - all was going fine - simply making some changes to site text and adding new site titles and meta descriptions.
    I worked on it yesterday and uploaded a couple of pages - all went fine.
    I opened the site today (before I even opened Dreamweaver) and went to the site using the url - home page opened fine - I clicked on the "About Us" page and I got the following error message (just to be clear - this is the same thing that happend last week with a different site):
    Not Found
    The requested URL /contact_request.html was not found on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
    I opened Dreamweaver and looked at the Local / Remote view page and the page I was tring to access was showing on both the Local and Remote sides - this was NOT a page that I worked on yesterday.
    I went to Google to try and see if I could find a reason why this would happen, I found one suggestion that I try to Google the site and the page name that I was trying to access and click on that link.
    I did that and it worked - I also pressed Ctrl-F5 several times to make sure that I was not accessing a cached version of the page.
    I went into Dreamweaver, made a couple of changes to the page, uploaded it and it worked fine.
    I tried a few other pages in the site and found that most pages were coming up fine, some pages would give me that same "Not Found" error.
    I closed the site, closed FireFox, shut down my computer, restarted everything and tried again - same problem - sometimes some of the pages will just give me a "Not Found" error - not always the same page.
    If I go to Google and search the site and then click on that link - the page will open fine.
    I tried contacting my hosting company and they told me that it must be a Dreamweaver syncronization issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas??

    These links are all 404 not found.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Site creation puts unwanted folders from desktop into File Panel Window

    Dreamweaver CS4: My root folder is on the desktop, and everytime I create a new site, inside the Site in the Files Panel it has my folders/files on my desktop in addition to my root folder. How do I prevent this and just have ONLY my project folder in my site folder?
    L Sienna

    I've said it before and I'll say it again.
    Your Desktop is just a folder, but it's not like any other folder on your HD. The more "crap" you keep on it, the slower your system will run, because Windows Explorer (not the browser - the one that opens and manages all of your windows) interacts with it ALL THE TIME so the more stuff it has to go through to run DW, or Photoshop or Windows Media Player or whatever, the bigger the drag on WIndows. The same for Mac OS X and FInder.
    Put your site(s) in their own folder in your documents where the most active folder on your HD doesn't have to constantly update with every letter you type in a page.

  • Need help importing Dreamweaver CS4 site to CS6

    I created a website for a friend in CS4 some years ago, and pretty much stopped using Dreamweaver. Then I changed computers and upgraded Adobe to CS6.  Now she wants a change, but her site no longer appears in Dreamweaver. I neglected to export the settings before upgrading (doh!) Any suggestions? I can't even find the passwords anywhere

    What was the original site written in, just plain html? or a server language like php.
    When you say you can't find the passwords was the site password protected?

  • Dreamweaver Test Site Definition

    I'm new to creating a test site and most likely created one
    incorrectly. When I press F12 to view my work it is blank, but when
    I look at the Design view it show my site. How can I correct my
    test site?

    You should always define a Site in dreamweaver for each
    project.
    That is the only way dreamweaver can make correct paths and
    links.
    IF this site doesn't have any server-side scripting, do NOT
    say yes to a
    Testing Server, or pick a "server model" A testing server is
    for using ASP
    or PHP.
    Better suggestion-
    don't use the "wizard" version of the Define Site Dialog Box.
    Click the "advanced" tab in the Define Site dialog box, it's
    much easier to
    fill out.
    then click the Testing Server tab, and set testing server
    access to NONE.

  • Dreamweaver cs4, site management does not recognize image directory

    I have recently downloaded trial version. When I was trying to set up local site with site management tool, it somehow keep failing to recognize the image folder within. So I go to advance setting of edit and assign local root folder C:\favdoo\MyTheme\
    then I try to assign Default image folder which IS in the MyTheme folder, it dow not show up in the browser and even if I manually type in, gives me error message "there are not image file". I have checked rebooted, clear cache, but still does not recognize image folder. ????? Can anyone please help? It drives me crazy before I even start using dreamweaver.

    got it, needed to create images directory to associate with actual file......how I supposed to know that?

  • Site definition dialogue box CS5 categories will not expand to offer menu options

    Using Windows 7, Dreamweaver CS5, site definition dialogue box will not respond when clicking categories on left of box in order to set up local info like asset folder etc.
    Some machines at Uni have no problem with this but some do. Also, the same machine responds differently when logged on as an administrator or student or teacher.
    Can you shed any light on what might be causing this problem, please?

    Windows 7 security settings are precluding non-admin level users from writing data to certain files/folders used by DW CS5.
    Solution:
    Log-on as Administrator.

  • Preview versus Real View Not the Same, Site Definition Errors - Dreamweaver CS4

    I am having trouble working on sites where it seems that Dreamweaver wants me to specify different file locations for various "includes" depending on whether I want to view the site as a preview (F12) vs. on a local test server vs. on the real website server.  Note I am using Dreamweaver CS4 (ver. 10) on Windows, my local test server is Apache running via an Xampp installation on Windows, and my production server is also Apache, running at Hostgator.  I am building a fairly basic html site using SSI via SHTML files, rather than PHP or a more sophisticated method.  Here is what seems to be happening:
    1.  In my index.shtml file I call, for example, a subheader file called "header-nosub-menu.inc.htm."  I have my site definitions set to "relative to document root."  Using the insert -> SSI command, Dreamweaver links to the file with the following: My first problem is that, as specified, the subheader.menu.inc.htm file is not found and the preview gives me an error.  I get the same error if i try to display the file on my local test server (http://localhost/domainname).  However, if I upload the file to my production server, it seems to work fine.  If I change the include command to: #include virtual="./includes/subheader.menu.inc.htm," by manually inserting the "./" to change the directory reference, then the file seems to work in all three situations  Which is the correct directory specification, and why is Dreamweaver not generating it automatically?
    While I can make the manual changes in the directory specifications, I am concerned that if Dreamweaver is making an error in this instance, it may generate more serious problems that are harder to find later.
    2. The second issue seems to involve the Site Definition file configuration.I get an error message when I set up my site definition in what seems to be the correct way, specifically, using the following specifications:
    Local Root folder:  "C:\htdocs\domainname-dev\"
    http address:   "http://www.domainname/"
    testing server folder:  "C:\htdocs\domainname-dev"
    url prefix:  "http://localhost/domainname-dev"
    The error message is: "The site url prefix for the testing server does not match the site url prefix specified in the http address for the site."
    However, when I change the testing server url prefix to one that does not yield an error message ("http://localhost") I then have problems with the preview (F12) display.  Specifically, instead of a preview request generating the following url: "http://localhost/domainname-dev/TMPm393xnclqu.shtml" I find that it generates the following: "http://localhost/TMPm393xnclqu.shtml"  The so called incorrect definition seems to be the correct one, but  why is Dreamweaver not recognizing it as such?  Am I making a error somewhere else in my configuration?
    I would appreciate any assistance that anyone here can provide,
    Thanks,
    http://localhost/

    except for the Apache virtual host configuration, which I do not see a need for
    I wasn't suggesting that you use virtual hosts (although I have defined about 50 virtual hosts on my own development machine). I was trying to understand the url you listed:
    http://www.domainname/
    Without a virtual host definition, that would have no meaning and could not point to anything, unless you simply were leaving off the TLD in the example. (.com, .net, etc)
    I often use the PHP $_SERVER superglobal to define paths and handle differences between the development environment and the remote server environment. Examples:
    DOCUMENT_ROOT: D:/ZendServer/Apache2/htdocs/website/ranch (machine path)
    REQUEST_URI: /topic/calendar (url parameters)
    SCRIPT_NAME: index.php
    HTTP_REFERER: (the url of the script preceding the current script)
    HTTP_HOST: (this is the domain name. It is very useful for distinguishing between the local and remote environments)
    COMPLETE EXAMPLE:
    echo "<p><a class='noPrint' href='".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."'>RETURN TO PREVIOUS PAGE</a></p>";

  • Site definition settings on FTP use in Dreamweaver CS4

    I work on a MackBook Pro, Mavericks OS, with Dreamweaver CS4. In filling in my settings in Site Definition dialog for local site and remote site, sometimes doing a Test I get the message that I am connected, but when I try to upload through Put arrow in Files Window I get the message "FTP error occurred cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Check your connection information."
    I do get the FTP transfer to work sometimes, but then it stops working. I have used a template to set up my pages. Could my settings using the template have something to do with it?

    Definitely not.

  • Site Definitions CS4 v. CS6

    I just switched to DW CS6 from CS4. When I defined a Site in CS4, it created an actual folder with my site name that I could see on my hard drive, and my various website files would be in there. CS6 isn't doing that-- although it shows a folder icon that is visible inside of Dreamweaver. I look for it outside of Dreamweaver, and it's not there. This spooks me a little bit. Is this how it works now, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

    Hey Nancy-- After I responded to your post last night, I started thinking more about your response-- did I export the site definitions? Ah. The short answer is no, I just copied the files when I got my new computer, and reinstalled DW CS4. I still have access to my old computer tho, and my plan is to export the site defs  and put them on the new one, where I guess I will then have to them "import" them back.
    Switching to  CS6 caused a bit of misdirection. (As Murray suggested, the DW version  was not the issue.) But the light finally went on!  Thanx!

  • Dreamweaver CS6 not recognizing CS4 Sites

    Hello, How do I get Dreamweaver CS6 to recognize sites created by CS4?  Sites were transferred from old Macbook Pro to new.  CS6 was installed new on new machine.  Running Lion.
    I may have accidentally posted this already.  If so, sorry.
    Michael

    If you install CS6 on the same computer that housed CS4, the installation procedure will find all of the old sites, and display them in the newly installed CS6.  If you copied the sites from an older computer running CS4 to a new computer running CS6, you will also need to EXPORT the site definitions from CS4, and then IMPORT them into CS6 in addition to copying the site files.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 - Existing Site Name Changed in Manage Sites

    Please help me! I have an existing site name from Manage Sites become slightly different site name from original.
    For example, existing site name was fashionstars, now become ftp://fashionstars, with ftp:// in it. ( It happen when I did some try and error approach to do certain task, or press the wrong buttons etc) Is there any possibility to change back to original name fashionstars and how to do it? Otherwise I won't be able to upload files to remote site because of different site name appeared in Manage Sites.
    Should I remove the modified site name ftp://fashionstars and recreate a new site name fashionstars and copy all exiting files from local site folder to new fashionstars?
    Regards,
    SSYYDD

    Additional information, I use MacBook Pro to run Dreamweaver CS4.  The existing site has 150 MB file size, hundreds of files, so to recreate new site name, it has to start to create all manually, will take a long time. Is there any other ways I can recreate site fashionstars without to start all over again?
    I am very worry about this, it may not be able to fix it. My website is stuck, won't be able to upload files any more.
    Another problem is that I lost the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or htp://fashionstars . When I go to Manage Sites to edit site of ftp://fashionstars, it goes to CONFIGURE SERVER, not the SITE DEFINITIONS for fashionstars or ftp://fashionstars. Please help me.
    ( note  that I use the name fashionstars as an example only, not my real site name)
    Thank you.

  • Launch Dreamweaver CS4 and open a specific site

    One of my stumbling blocks in moving from GoLive 9 to Dreamweaver CS4 is finding a way to have Dreamweaver open a specific site at launch time.  GoLive has a "name.site" file that contains site-specific information.  Double-clicking that GoLive site file launches GoLive (or switches to the running application) and makes that site the current/frontmost site.
    With Dreamweaver, I can double-click a page in a site and launch Dreamweaver.  However, Dreamweaver's active site is the one that was active at the end of the last Dreamweaver session.
    Is there a way to launch Dreamweaver and have it automatically open a specific site?
    -- Barney

    Say, if they do something like that for the already existing .ste files, then it might just encourage some people to export/backup their site definitions. Although I would probably never think to doubleclick one of them, that is still a good idea.
