Dreamweaver CS5 with Joomla! Tutorials?

I know that the new CS5 has Joomla! Code support - but I have not found any complete documentation on how to fully use it.
Has anyone written a book? Is there a tutorial? Anything that goes from A to Z on how to fully use this?
Thanks

It was part of the post that an earlier poster gave me.

These is about Dreamweaver CS3
I found this one:
http://www.joomla4web.com/blog/integrating-dreamweaver-cs5-and-joomla-15-or-joomla-16.html
About Dreamweaver CS5.
I am hoping that combing all three will give me all of the details that I need.

Support for using CS5 with Joomla

So far, the information to get dreamweaver working with Joomla has been non-existent and/or extremely vague. I've spent my entire Sunday, trying to simply get this to work.
I ran a local server and followed the adobe tutorial, I uploaded my mysql database file and I either get an error saying that the dynamic-related files could not be reached etc etc etc. error, or I get simply a blank page when I try to view it in the localhost/FOLDER file.
I am lost. There is little support for this specific task. It's my only interest in DW considering I work exclusively with Content Management Systems. So far setting this up is time consuming, confusing, and well, it simply doesn't work.w
IS THERE understandable documentation available for setting up the most TALKED ABOUT feature of DWCS5!?!?!? Is it really even possible? At this point I am starting even doubt the validity of the posts of people claiming they got this to work. So far I get a string of unpredictable errors in an extremely complicated and confusing workflow, again, just trying to get the most talked about feature of CS5 to work as advertised. I'm so frustrated, words cannot express.
-Matt

Hello out there? Can anybody be so kind an post a link to a good dokumentation? I am experiancing just the same problem and yes - I am frustrated, too. Pleeeese!!!
Thank you very much for any little hint.

I have Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 8 and it won't stay connected to the server and it says I need flash plug in, please help

I have a Gateway computer with Windows 8 installed. I have installed Dreamweaver CS5 to manage my website and it won't stay connected to the server. It also won't play flash and says I need a flash plug in. Please help

#1 Try toggling Passive FTP on/off in your remote server's site definition.
#2 Except for a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a dead web technology. It's not supported by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc... I don't recommend using Flash for anything these days. Better to use HTML5, CSS level 3 and JavaScript.

Using Dreamweaver CS5 with other CS4 programs

I want to purchase Dreamweaver CS5 for my work computer because it is the same version I have on my personal computer, and I want the two to be compatible. However, there are other Adobe CS4 programs on my work computer (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.). Will any problems arise by having Dreamweaver CS5 and other CS4 programs on the same computer? Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Are you intending to purchase a standalone version of Dreamweaver CS5?
Your work computer has probably got a CS4 Creative Suite installed (Design Premium CS4?).
You won't be able to upgrade Dreamweaver CS4 (from the Suite) on your work computer to standalone Dreamweaver CS5. It's not a valid upgrade path.
Tip: CS6 is due to be released very soon.
http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/offer/cs55_cs6_faqchannel.html
Although free upgrades from CS5 (purchased after 26 March 2012) are available, there is some paperwork involved. In your position, I personally prefer to wait until CS6 ships - unless CS5 is really the version you want, of course.

Check in check out in Dreamweaver CS5 with php site

I created a new site for a client that has about 160 pages, three user login levels, site security, php, forms, . . . The client has a staff member who will make updates to pages with changing content but now wants access to the entire site so she can change wording on other pages as well - she's their new communications coordinator and it certainly makes sense to me. But I'm worry about giving her access to the entire site - I've since learned about check in and check out in Dreamweaver. Since I can't just throw pages in a directory for her to access via ftp (have set that up for one staff member creating gis maps), I'm wondering if this check in check out option is the better way to go for us.
She will use Dreamweaver, like me. Although we do not share the same office or have access to the same network. The only sharing we can do is on our hosting services server. Can I "check out" files I need her to leave alone and leave them that way? That way she'll have access to all of the primary content pages, not the scripts, css, includes, admin, js, bin, etc files. It should make life easier for her, too, I think.
What's common practice for this? And how does synchronization fit in?

This situation really needs a proper Content Management System (CMS): Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine all come to mind.
She's a content contributor, you're the system admin. She needs a bulletproof browser-based editing environment to do her thing without worrying about anything else.
Down the track, she'll probably want repeat content that she can control on different pages, content expiry, scheduled content, categories, tags, sidebars, headlines: all standard CMS features.
Using Dreamweaver and Check In/Check Out is just going to create one issue after another.
The current solution was probably adequate in the past but it's reaching the limits of its scalability. It's really time for a new solution.
Have you considered a CMS?

Is anyone having trouble using Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 7?

I've just started using Dreamweaver and thought I could import source code from an HTML newsletter template I had and just update it with the new text and pictures. I started a new HTML page, imported the source code into the workspace, then started updating it. However, all I get is code when I try to preview the file in the design view or a web browser. What am I doing wrong? I've attached a screen cap of what I'm seeing.
Thanks to anyone who can help!

Just a nit - you are not *importing* anything. You are just copying and pasting. I'm just sayin'.
When you paste HTML code into Design view, all of the HTML brackets ("<" and ">") are converted to HTML entities ("<" and ">", respectively), which makes the result look like code in Design view, but there is no 'display' to be rendered other than the text.

Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP, not getting it to work with virtual Host

I have not got far with the book so far. I am still on the second chapter where you set the Virtual Host but after setting up the Dreamweaver site definition and doing the test. I get the error that page cannot be found.
I ask if I can mail the text file of the http.conf and the httpd-vhosts.conf to anyone to see if I screwed up somewhere . I am running on Windows 7 with the WAMP setup.

Mr. Powers,
I used your included file httpd-vhosts.conf. And it did something since now I get a new set of errors.
( ! ) Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
( ! ) Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/vhosts/phpcs5/lesson02/site_check.php' (include_path='.;C:\php\pear') in Unknown on line 0
But I checked the properties of the folders and unchecked the 'read only' permission but still gets checked again. I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
I checked on the web nobody says any solutions about it, they only imply that is a permissions issue.
I apologize, I found out the chapter files were encrypted... thanks

Errata for "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source"

Dreamweaver CS5 with August 2010 Update Applied

I am trying to get Live View to work. I am following the Check Magazine tutorial provided by Adobe and in Part 3 Item 6 "Preview the Page" when I select Live View I get the following popup msg - "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View install the Netscape/Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com." When I go to the link provided it tries to install Flash version 10.1. I have read in this forum how to do a manual install of Flash version 10.1 as the automatic install did not resolve my Live View issue. I have completed the manual install and still get the same error when attempting to use Live View. I have also done a restart after the Flash install was completed but still have the same problem. Any ideas? Thanks

Try deleting your temporary internet files. Otherwise someone on the Flash Forum will likely be able to answer more quickly and correctly than the DW forum.

Question about reset password in lesson08 of David Powers (Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP)

I'm at the page 299 that found a problem in reset password. I managed to received email of link to reset password. In the reset password form, why no checking of password length entered or password unmatch with confirmed password input ? Instead it displays error message of 'Sorry, there was an error. Make sure you used the complete URL in the email you received. The URL can be used to change your password only once. If necessary...' The error message of 'Passwords don't match' or 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only' not processed.
Please help !
Thank You

I can see the 32 characters attached to URL and also I can see the 32 characters stored in database. It actually can reset the the password if entered within the requirement of 8-15. But when I entered less than 8, it does not show the error message of 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only'.
I noticed that $_SESSION['nomatch'] was assigned to True after the validation of 8-15 length. Below is the code for reference.
<?php
session_start();
$errors = array();
$success = FALSE;
$_SESSION['nomatch'] = TRUE;
require_once('library.php');
try {
if (isset($_GET['id']) && isset($_GET['token'])) {
          $id = $dbRead->quote($_GET['id']);
          $token = $dbRead->quote($_GET['token']);
          $sql = "SELECT user_id FROM users WHERE user_id = $id AND token = $token";
          $result = $dbRead->fetchRow($sql);
          if ($result) {
      $_SESSION['user_id'] = $_GET['id'];
            $_SESSION['token'] = $_GET['token'];
            $_SESSION['nomatch'] = FALSE;
if (isset($_POST['reset'])) {
          // password reset code goes here
          $val = new Zend_Validate();
          $val->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_StringLength(8,15));
          $val->addValidator(new Zend_Validate_Alnum());
          if (!$val->isValid($_POST['password'])) {
            $errors['password'] = 'Use 8-15 letters or numbers only';
          $val = new Zend_Validate_Identical($_POST['password']);
          if (!$val->isValid($_POST['conf_password'])) {
            $errors['conf_password'] = "Passwords don't match";
          if (!$errors) {
            // update the password
            $data = array('password' => sha1($_POST['password']),
                          'token'    => NULL);
            $where['user_id = ?'] = $_SESSION['user_id'];
            $where['token = ?'] = $_SESSION['token'];
            $success = $dbWrite->update('users', $data, $where);
            unset($_SESSION['user_id']);
            unset($_SESSION['token']);
            unset($_SESSION['nomatch']);

IE does not run "refreshing the list of places" Lesson 12 Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP

Hi anyone else experience this. In lesson 12 everything works as it should until I add the code for refreshing the list of places as well as the list of photos. Live view works fine, Chrome, Dreamweaver and safari works as well. However IE 9 does not. If anyone can explain the cause of this I will be very grateful

I am sorry to see that you did not receive a reply. I'm having the same problem ... apparently the Adobe Extension Manager only sees the earlier versions of Dreamweaver, and so exits out of the installation.
If would be great to have the courtesy of a reply from Adobe regarding their extension manager.

Dw cs5 with existing wordpress site hosted on yahoo need help connecting to existing remote database

I am having trouble establishing a database connection. I can connect with test databases but am having trouble using dreamweaver wtih my existing wordpress website. Am I able to use dreamweaver to edit and live view my changes before uploading the changed files to my live site? Am I able to access my existing wordpress database with dreaweaver? I have imported it to my testing server/database but still seem to be having trouble establishing a connection with it (think maybe my folder hierarchy might be off).
macintosh HD/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/nwm/wp/index.php
"nwm" is the name of the folder that I have copied all of my site files to and the folder I have dreamweaver pointing to. "wp" is what I have all of the wordpress files in (the ones I copied from my yahoo server - including all my current theme files etc.)
I am trying to put the info into the mysql connection dialog box:
Connection Name: Testing (i am assuming this name is for my benefit only and doesn't actually matter)
MySQL Server: mysql
User Name: *****
Password: *****
Database: wp
and am getting this message
MySQL Error#: 2013
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error 61
did some google seaches of the error. Tried turning off the firewall, and the advance tab allow mysql incoming (there were 2 one was allow one was not allow. I changed both to allow)
Cant really find anything on yahoo to help me out. Looked in phpmyadmin database named wp: wp_users to get the username and password (which due to previous look for help - I think the password was encrypted cuz it looked like a bunch of mumbo jumbo and am fairly certain I know the correct password).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I spent $50 on live chat last night trying to resolve the issue only to find out at the end that the guy really didn't understand my problem and doesn't have dreamweaver. I have also watched countless videos on Lynda.com and have been thru forum after forum. While this problem is only a couple weeks old since I just got CS5. I have been having trouble making any headway learning php since I cant seem to make it past the set up parts. I have done the php / mysql essential training on lynda.com with relative success except that I really dont want to work with any more exercise files so I didn't go on to the beyond the basics. I recently went thru most of the Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress 3. Also did the first 4 chapters of Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL. I need to start integrating things into my live sites. I am also trying to work my way thru the learning php, mysql, javascript book by o'reily media by robin nixon (as fun as reading a math text book) can't get thru it since I can't relate any of it to my current sites/needs
I am on MacBookPro OSX 10.6.6
Installed MAMP to specification on all 20 tutorials I have tried including lynda.com
Tested the testing server and is working
Just installed dreamweaver cs5
have been using wordpress online to create and edit posts (recently upgraded to 3.? whatever the latest update was online which I believe update the files on my yahoo server?)
Have also installed wordpress on my computer (several times thru each tutorial trying to get this right.)
Am I expecting the impossible?

If wordpress controls it's own connection why am I unable to use the live view. I have synced the remote site to my local computer so all the files should be just as they are online with the exception of the DB which contains most of the content.
I have done all of those steps. I have even exported the database from inside internet phpmyadmin and imported into computer phpmyadmin. When I hit live view I get one of couple of errors.
1. "One is that the dynamic related files could not be displayed due to an internal server error"
At some point I was able to view some sample files inside dreamweaver. But I would like to be able to view my real site files. I was able to "connect" to the local databases (not the copy of my real one - I think that maybe that was because it is somehow nested inside another db an am going try to reimport to new location). And then I changed the host/username/password trying to deal with the internal server error. Now instead I get the cannot connect to the database Error 2016 or whatever from the origianl post. Also, I am using yahoo if that matters and all I can find about what their server name is: mysql - is that correct?
I have been thru this so many times with so many different tutorials I am losing track of what is what.
2. Can I access my remote database within dreamweaver? I do not want to create dummy files (seems to be a waste of time). And while if it had worked exporting/importing a duplicate on to my computer would have satisfied me for a little while it also seems some what counter productive. Since every post and page is different if I were doing a daily updates etc how would I be able to change the formating or design of them if I can't access the remote files. Would I re- import everytime I want to work on it to get current database?
I am trying to be clear. I listed all the specs I could think as listed in your "how to get help fast post" (yes I read that at least twice too) of all of the steps and possible reasons for my problems. I also thought that the forum was on a seperate site so I didn't think it would count as a duplicate. I am frustrated to tears and am feeling incredibly stupid that after all this time and all these tutorials yes you are right I obviously am not understanding what is going on which is why I am on this forum.

Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, ColdFusion and PHP Downloads

Hi,
I wondered if anyone new if there is anywhere to download the accompanying files (off the CDROM)? I can't find anywhere on the Adobe site where you can.
I purchased the book from Oxfam Bookstore and the CD is snapped in two pieces but I'd obviously like to follow the tutorials.
Thanks

That's quite an old book, so I don't know if there's still any support for it. I wrote the most recent version: "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP: Training from the Source". The files for my book are not freely available for download, so I suspect the same is true of the Dreamweaver 8 version.
According to the publisher's website, you can request a replacement CD from [email protected] However, I wouldn't hold out much hope of getting a replacement for an old book that was bought from a charity shop. Sorry.
