Dreamweaver cs5 MAJOR flaw

Dreamweaver cs5 has a major flaw
When 'related files' is turned on (a feature we are paying for!) and a webpage has code similar to the following in the header
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
At first launch after quitting, it takes dreamweaver between 1 and 2 minutes or more to open one web page.
This is EXTREMELY annoying and unacceptable for software which costs so much money.
Many designers use jquery now and may of us link directly to the latest file or jquery library.
What's the point in having a related files facility if we have to turn it off in order to use Dreamweaver with jquery or any other external files!!!!!?
Adobe?

If you download a copy of the JQuery file and put it in the local site that should stop that issue.
What operating system are you using?
Where are your local files kept (what folders)?

  • Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

    I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
    This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
    1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
    2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
    3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
    4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
    Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
    Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
    It has MAJOR flaw.
    If a webpage contains the code
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
    It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
    This is caused by the 'related files' facility
    THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
    All design companies such as us use jquery.
    Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
    helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
    having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

    Hi,
    Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
    My answers under yours below
    Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform .  Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
    - Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
    Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
    1.  Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site?  This is a bad practice to get in the habit of.  If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours.  Many here will argue that point.
    - This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
    http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
    We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
    2.  "Sometimes".  That is the key word in your statement.  Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.  What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times.  What's different?  It's usually hard to believe it's random luck.  But developers in a bug report need to know these things.  What's different about the file(s)?  Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc?  How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
    I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
    It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
    I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
    4.  You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
    "Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch.  Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
    - Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
    "All design companies such as us use jquery".  - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1.  Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
    - Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

  • Dreamweaver CS5 -- Kinda Buggy on a Mac

    I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 (v.11, build 4964) on my Mac (OSX 10.6.6) and I must say, it's kind of buggy.  The thing crashes every once and a while but what's currently irking me is the Files Panel where instead of getting one half 'local' and one half 'remote', I've got the 'remote' overlapping the 'local' side making things like the vertical scrollbar for the 'local' side completely unusuble.
    I hope the powers-that-be at Adobe follow these forums.  You really expect better from a major piece of commerical software like this.

    Unfortunately the powers that be don't read these forums.  So your best bet is to fill out a bug report:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
    I haven't noticed the crashing so much, but if you post the details, it is possible that there is a KB article about it.  Only bug that bothers me on the Mac side in SL is the color bug where the color selector is always black and never actually changes color like it did in previous versions.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 WebDave often times out. Can I increase the timeout?

    I am using WebDave to interact with my server. This has worked well for the last year, but for some reason my server load has increased and I am now getting timeouts often, which means pages fail to upload. Dreamweaver is not particularly good at letting you know the page did not upload, so I have a major headache trying to keep the server up-to-date. I have been working with the server people, but they have not found the load on this server to be particularly high and it is not swapping or anything. A good solution is to make WebDave inside of Dreamweaver a little bit more patient by increasing the timeout. FTP does not work for me, since my work firewall blocks FTP on the guest network.
    Question: Is there a way of increasing the default timeout for WedDave connections?
    Dreamweaver: CS5 Version 11, Build 4993
    Computer: MacBook Pro 17" Mid 2010, OS X 10.9.3, 8GB

    Ken you ask good questions. I actually don't know it is timeout, since Dreamweaver only includes in the FTP log successful messages. The failure is almost instantaneous. There is nothing on the Console Log on my Mac and nothing in the site log, but the site log is limited. I get the failure at home and work on two different WiFi. If I connect using a third party WebDav-namely the Mac built-in, then it works. If I use DW WebDav I get hit with failures about 1 out of 4. It sort of warms up after a few successful transfers and will work 3 out of 4 times. I suspect that the problem is related to the apache server is loaded and things are getting cached, and that DW is sensitive to this. That is the reason I wanted to desensitize DW. I don't have DW on a PC nor have access to a PC, but the Mac WebDav test was quite interesting.
    I will try ethernet from home tonight. I was thinking of making sure I have the latest WebDAV running on the apache server, and in DW, but I really can't change either of these, even if I figure out that they are out of date. And if DW is updated, I can't afford the update since Adobe went subscription. I am volunteer and do my Web stuff for free for Academic and Non-Profits.

  • FTP Connection Issues Dreamweaver CS5.5

    I can't ftp into the top level directory of any of my hosting accounts with dreamweaver cs5.5
    This is becoming a major issue and I'm aware now of other users with the same issue.
    First  log in to an ftp server works fine - the test case directory is created  and deleted - and I think it is this which is causing some odd  permissions issue.
    Second time you try to log in, the connection is made,  but then any directory listing times out. However if I define a  directory such as /public_html/images/ then it will connect and display  directory listings just fine.  Clicking "Test" in the server definition dialog results in an OK message.
    If i FTP in using a different FTP Client (in this case  Transmit) and upload a single file, the issue goes away, and  dreamweaver can again connect - one time only, until I perform this odd  "reset".
    This happens on all FTP connections across multiple  hosting companies (all of the hosting companies my clients sites are  stored at).
    FTP log is below:
    < 257 "/www"
      < 220 Welcome to Proweb Server FTP service (JubJub).
      > USER winfo
      < 331 Please specify the password.
      > PASS
      < 230 Login successful.
      > PWD
      < 257 "/"
      > CWD /
      < 250 Directory successfully changed.
      > CWD /www
      < 250 Directory successfully changed.
      > PWD
      < 257 "/www"
    Then it waits for a while before  giving me the following error message (I've extended timeout to anything  up to a couple of minutes, no difference):
    Toggling the "USE Passive FTP"  checkbox may help you establish a connection. -Select or de-select the  checkbox and click Test to tray again.
    -if you are connecting  using an IPv6 enabled server, please select the "USE IPv6 transfer mode"  checkbox in the Advanced site definition dialog.
    If  the problem persists, check you network settings, including the local  firewall settings on your computer, or consult your network  administrator.
    I have tried PASV checked and unchecked, performance optimisation, and every other combination available to me. I am not connecting through a proxy.
    The  settings on ALL of my sites worked before the cs5.5 upgrade. The  settings on NONE of my sites with a root directory specified work since  the upgrade.  The only thing that has changed is the move to dreamweaver  cs5.5.  I can connect with other ftp clients.  my ftp server settings  are correct. My server and network settings are unchanged. The settings on ALL my sites on other FTP clients continue to work fine.
    Am on an i7 2.8GHz Intel iMac running 10.6.7 with 8 gigs of RAM. I have quit all software except dreamweaver and tried running my mac firewall both on and off.
    Really running out of ideas, and know of other people with the same issue since the upgrade - what's going on Adobe?!

    Same for me, in that I had an unreliable and effectively unusable FTP connection with CS5.5 . I've reverted to CS5, because even though I'll miss a couple of the new features I need to have a working connection to the site when working with PHP - because otherwise I can't see my site at all other than via Firefox. I also suspect that at least a couple of times I've had some sort of corruption occur as a result of the FTP hanging. All was okay before CS5.5, and I may have slagged off a different hosting provider than my present one when it was in fact (at least in part) a DW issue. If it isn't fixed in CS6 then CS6 is unusable for me and I'd definitely be happier with 'unenhanced' CS5 FTP functionality. The theoretical performance gains with the CS5.5 implementation are trivial by comparison with the problems. If all else fails, please revert to CS5 code for the FTP side of things.
    UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is now fixed for me. The problem was that I did not have a proper web url entered in my site definition for the remote server. I'm not sure how that was placing any limitation on FTP access - after all, the need for a full site definition was removed a couple of software issues ago - but the fact is that with the correct web address entered I have working FTP on CS6 (and seemingly on CS5.5 too). I had a simple forward slash entered for the web address, probably as a result of some earlier investigation of the local server/remote server relationships for file upload on a PHP site. I was running CS5 with the correct Web Url entered, so that was working and the CS5.5, without the correct Web Url, was not. I vaguely remember reading that the Web Url was connected with DWs management of absolute/relative links and not much else, but it seems that is not the case. The new FTP is MUCH faster and I'm a happy guy. Site menu>>>Manage sites>>>[select your site]>>>Edit>>>Servers>>>[2-click your server]>>>Web URL:    Put in the full URL e.g. http://www.somesite.com . Not sure if you need a trailing / after, but I have one.
    UPDATING AGAIN: Through all of that I had turned on the  'IPv6 protocol' and 'Passive FTP' options in an attempt to get working. The result of that was FTP that worked well once transferring files but often took a while to hook up. Deselecting those, and using CS6, I'm happy with my FTP.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 update apparently fixes Mac FileVault problem

    Adobe has just released Dreamweaver 11.0.2 (build 4916), which is intended to fix the problem with running Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac OS X with FileVault enabled. Adobe Updater should automatically detect the update, and display the Adobe logo in the menu bar at the top right of the screen on a Mac. Click the logo, and select Adobe Updater. Alternatively, select Help > Updates in Dreamweaver.
    I don't use FileVault, so can't verify that the update fixes the problem. Hopefully, it does.

    I was getting the same error message on both Windows 7 64-bit as well as XP 32-bit.  When CS5 Dreamweaver installs (and several other Adobe CS5 products) it includes an older version of the Java 1.6 Runtime Environment which has known serious security flaws.  My university's computer security people got a report from Secunia PSI that I was running vulnerable software (an older version of Java) and demanded that I immediately upgrade. 
    But I do have the latest updates of the JRE installed, so I was puzzled by this.  When I looked at the Secunia report, the JRE culprits were installed in the Programs\Adobe folders as part of each application such as Dreamweaver (and several others).  So I removed the insecure JRE folders under those program installations and replaced them with the updated JRE folder from the Java installation (JVM for DW). Granted, this was a bit of a gamble since the registry was not modified, but I had not experienced any problems until I kept getting the installation failure reported here for the CS5 DW update failure with no explanation.
    Realizing that Dreamweaver is still a 32-bit app even when running on 64-bit Win 7, and I was running the 64-bit version of Java 1.6 v20, I thought I should have used the 32-bit version of Java to replace the insecure version installed under Dreamweaver.  I tried that, as above, but the DW CS5 update still failed.
    Then I tried to reinstall CS5 Dreamweaver only, which succeeded with the older insecure JRE which then immediately got flagged by Secunia PSI.  Furthermore, the Dreamweaver update still failed with no explanation.  I noticed that some of the previous Java files (by their dates) were still left in the DW installation JVM folder, after the re-install.  So next I removed the entire Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5 folder, and did a clean reinstall of Dreamweaver CS5 only.  It was immediately detected again by Secunia PSI as have an insecure version of JRE.  However, this time when I did the Dreamweaver update, it succeeded (v11.0 build 4916) on my 64-bit Win 7 machine.
    So the choice currently appears to get Dreamweaver CS5 updates with an older insecure version of the JRE or
    not get Dreamweaver updates but be secure with the latest JRE manually installed.  My university security people will not tolerate the former
    I don't understand why Adobe does not put the latest JRE's as part of their standard updates.  Moreover, why put them in the Adobe installations at all--which is causing this security problem of older insecure JRE's--and instead use the main Java installation on the user's machine (and if absent, require users to install Java), if Java is really needed.

  • Advice on Dreamweaver CS5.5

    I have spent 35 minutes attempting to purchase Dreamweaver CS5.5 from the Adobe site. The main page would not allow a change of country from USA and when I found an Australian download page Dreamweaver CS5.5 was not listed. I used the 'Send an email" option without success.
    Please advise my best next move.
    Many thanks,
    Robin Chapple

    Hi
    Adobe has never allowed the correct exchange rate to be applied to product purchases outside the US, and it is one of the major reason that many people outside the US look for alternatives, (even microsoft stopped this type of policy years ago), and if you look at the UK purchase site, downloads cost more than the boxed version!
    Macromedia did allow the correct exchange rate to be applied when one purchase from their site, so in my opinion this is just an Adobe profiteering scam, But that's just my opinion.

  • Dreamweaver cs5 and PayPal Buttons

    Greetings,
    My website was created with Dreamweaver cs5. Customers who want to purchase a product from my website simply press the "Add to Cart" button and this takes them to the PayPal checkout.
    Here is the problem. If you click on ANY of the add to cart buttons for a particular product, the PayPal add to cart button adds a totally different, random product from my website into the cart. I have had problems with the add to cart buttons before. However, PayPal insisted that this kind of problem might be caused by Dreamweaver.
    Every time I need a new "add to cart" button, I create it in PayPal. PayPal generates a code that I then copy and paste into dreamweaver. A customer service representative for PayPal said that the problem might be arising because of a copy and paste issue. He said that dreamweaver sometimes changes things you paste into your code.
    Is this true?
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Laila

    I, too, have been experiencing similar problems. On PayPal support call earlier in day, I was advised to go to prefs/Code Rewriting/ and uncheck the "Rename form items when pasting" checkbox.
    On doing so, I was able to test my problem page, http://www.screamingeagles.com/pages_02/invoiceMail.html and it worked in Safari, Opera, FireFox on two Macs, and Internet Explorer 8 on PC.
    Closed all sessions, feeling pretty good about the fix, but on restarting about four hours later, Same Same...well, almost the same. At this point, the first item on the dropdown failed, while the next three, item 2, 3, and 4 choices and prices, worked. They appeared on payment page and reflected the correct prices, but just would not add the first item to the cart.
    This prompted another call to PayPal support, and tech advised the same. On responding that I had already done that multiple times, he advised I contact DreamWeaver (Adobe) support as it was out of their scope of responsibility.
    PayPal support tech also regenerated my code, pasted it in his text editor, and it worked exactly as I had saved in my "Saved Buttons". So, that again supports that it's a DreamWeaver problem/bug/flaw...insert language as needed.
    I can't see any difference in the code itself (although I'm not an expert) so that led me to this post. The only other items within the Rewrite Code prefs that "might" influence it (in my prefs) is that I have checked:
    Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags
    Remove extra closing tags
    Warn when fixing or removing tags
    Never rewrite code:
    Special characters:
    Encode special characters in URLs using %
    Unchecked items:
    Rename form items when pasting
    URL encoding
    On  my request, support tech also agreed that this should be escalated at his end to contact Adobe, as we agreed that it was unlikely that I would be the only person running into this problem.
    Looking forward to any response,
    Thanks,

    I regenerated the code for the payment button and pasted into Simple Text. The code had the <option value=(1) etc etc lines (on /invoiceMail.html that corresponded to lines 145, 146, 147, 148) indented. I then went into Dreamweaver CS5 code, pasted, and no indent visible.
    I manually indented each line four characters in, published, and that change seems to have worked.
    Can't say with certainty, but one of those actions worked. (Keeping in mind I had already recreated the PayPal code a few times.)
    Hope that helps somebody.

  • Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up?

    Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up? And how should I proceed??
    Here is my story. I have moved roughly 15,000 photos from 7 computers (4 PCs and 3 Macs - basically everyone's computer in the family) onto one external hard drive. The photos were taken by many different digital cameras, are sparsely labeled, and have the most random names and folders. There are a LOT of duplicates. MY MISSION - label and back them up.
    The way I normally deal with photos/DATA is this: I plug my camera into my Mac and immediately think about organizing and backing them up. With "Preview" I look at photos (and decide which one I like), create a folder called "where-ever I took these photos" and drag them into that folder. The problem with Iphoto is that you have no ability to control folders, unlike many other applications.
    For example, in Itunes you can rename an artist, or even an album, and it will automatically appear in an updated folder. If you alter a photo in Photoshop, it makes you save it is a new file. In Iphoto you cannot make the same "root level" changes without making duplicates. From what I understand, you can place photos into an Album and then export that album (which makes duplicates). Iphoto will rename each duplicate file and then place it in the correct folder. The problem here is I have no idea where the original is to delete it.
    Basically I want to create folders called "Trip to Italy 2003" or "Rachel's Wedding" and place all the photos associated with that event in those folders. The problem I run into is that I have a bunch of duplicates. I have heard of a program called Duplicate Annihilator which has gotten favorable reviews. If I import them into Iphoto all the photos are placed in random named folders. I say random because some of the photos were taken on cameras that didn't have the date set correctly. Hence some of my photos will appear in a labyrinth of folders called "Modified / 2001 / Roll 17 / DCM482 / Image25874654.jpg"
    I am totally willing to wipe my Iphoto library clean and start again if there is a way to organize the photos as described above. Eventually I will take these folders and save them on a data DVD.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.
    Gary

    You do not need to delve into the folders within the iPhoto Library via the finder to access any photo. That is all done within iPhoto itself. If you need a photo for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access. iPhoto is a DAM application - Digital Asset Management, not a folder manager. There's a big difference. You can use keywords, album and smart albums to organize your photos.
    If you still have the original files you might consider what I do. I rename each file with the date it was taken using the international date format: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg. You can download the demo version ofMedia Expression and automatically rename each folder of photos with the EXIF date and a sequential number. This makes chronological searching and sorting much easier both in iPhoto and the Finder.
    If you want to not only manage the photos but the folders then Expression Media will let you do both. It will let you rename files after being imported into a catalog, move them between folders, add ITPC metadata to the files, create virtual albums called Supplemental categories, and much, much more. I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, slideshows, calendars, etc.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 on Lion Opens but then won't work

    I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 with Lion 10.7.2 on a new iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. I've had the machine about 2 weeks and Dreamweaver worked fine. Yesterday what happened was that I can launch the program but cannot use it.  Anytime I click any menu item in the program like the file menu or help menu I get a spining ball. I can't open files in Dreamwever from outside or inside it. I can't do anything at all in Dreamweaver.  I wait a long time and the spinning ball doesn't stop.  I didn't do anything new except add ram to the computer and the ram works fine and shows up in "about this Mac"  and has caused no problems. This Dreamweaver is a part of CS5 Web Premium and whatever the problem is it has not effected Photoshop CS5.  In fact I have no problems anywhere else on my computer except for Dreamweaver.
    I've tried the following solutions that I saw in these and other forums and nothing works:
    1) in Dreamweaver preferences changed the following:
    [REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
    remotedownloadcachesize=50
    remotedownloadallow=TRUE
    to
    [REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
    remotedownloadcachesize=50
    remotedownloadallow=TRUE
    resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE
    That didn't work so I changed it back.
    2) repaired disk permission on my hard disk from disk utilities, then verified the hard disk and it was ok, restarted various times.
    3) tried replacing preferences and app support from previous days in time machine when it work but no change.
    4) deledted com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist from preferences.  That didn't work so put it back
    5) checked and remade permisions for user at ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 but the permissions were already at read & write
    6) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 folder and restarted Dreamweaver
    7) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5/en_US/Configuration and restarted Dreamweaver
    8) deleted ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 and restarted Dreamweaver
    9) uninstalled Dreamweaver using Dreamweaver's uninstall app and reinstalled it from my disk and updated it.
    10) tried using Dreamweaver from a different user login and it worked, but I need it to work in THIS login.  I can find no way that this user is corrupt.
    I hope someone has an idea of what to do.

    New info. My husband just installed the older version of Firefox, and it is also not responding. Again without ever seeing a request for a response from him.

This is a major flaw as far as privacy. There are no options with in settings to stop this from happening. PLEASE TELL ME IM WRONG ???

    YOU ARE WRONG.

  • Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

    Hello! New to the forums, here.
    I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
    Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
    If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

    I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW.  That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for.  Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
    I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
    I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
    To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders.  Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code.   In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
    For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
    Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site.  If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder.   See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
    lol your not wrong there!
    For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'.  Edit CSS on screen.  Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server.  No testing server required. 
    Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
    Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
    Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

  • Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998 - 1018) about adding dynamic data to your page

    Hallo,
    I did Tutorial: Displaying Database Info in the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
    My problem is with "Editing a Recordset and Linking to a Detail Page" (which starts at pg 1002:
    I did this exercise ,over 5 times nowe, but every time with "Building the Detailed Product Page" at pg 1007, I get a bad result.
    I only get one page (the default one with productID = 1) for every link on the indexpage.
    In the adressbar (Live View) I see the right adress: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all productID's only the detailspage for productID are shown.
    There is also a message: Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘productID’ - assumed '‘productID’' in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php on line 34
    But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.
    Here is the code lines 33 -48: is is about the second line:
    $varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
    if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
      $varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
    mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
    $query_rsDetails = sprintf("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products.`description`, products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, vendors WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s ", GetSQLValueString($varProduct_rsDetails, "int"));
    $rsDetails = mysql_query($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDetails);
    $totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows($rsDetails);
    mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
    $query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC";
    $rsCategories = mysql_query($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
    $totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
    ?>
    Can someone tell me what is going on here?
    Kind regards, Ans Hekerman

    I can manually type in double brackets, like this:
    $varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
    if (isset($_GET["productID"])) {
      $varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET["productID"];
    this is accepted; no syntax-error report.
    I can manually type in single brackets, like this:
    $varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
    if (isset($_GET['productID'])) {
      $varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET['productID'];
    this is also accepted; no syntax-error report.
    Dreamweaver itself made this code:
    $varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
    if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
    $varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
    this was not OK; there was a syntax-error report.
    But strange enough, when I do paste this now from here, it is accepted.
    So the problem has been, that DW created code that gave a syntax error.
    I could repair it by replacing the single qoutes of DW, by typing single quotes in DW manually, or by typing in in DW manually double qoutes!!!
    So maybe everybode was right!!!
    But is was a very bad problem; maybe a "bug" of the program?
    I repeated this about 10 times before I got the solution frome this Forum.

  • How do I set up a 2 column fixed, left sidebar... in CC Dreamweaver based on one of the 16 samples in Dreamweaver CS5?

    I am in Graphic Design school and we are studying Dreamweaver CS5.  One of the projects is to create a new page based on one of the 16 samples available which is the 2 column, fixed, left sidebar, header and footer option.
    However, in CC Dreamweaver, I only see the 2 column, fixed, right sidebar option.

    Change line 62 to
    float: left;
