Dreamweaver CS6 help

Hello,
I am fairly new to web development and Dreamweaver in general. I am attempting to edit a site created in PHP with a connected MySQL database. I really need some help getting connected to the site so that I can actually do some editing.
I open Dreamweaver, but I cannot just connect to the site, it says that I have to create a new site? I am a little confused about the whole process. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

To work with dynamic sites (MySql and .php), you must set-up a PHP work environment with a local testing server -- either Wamp, Xampp or Mamp. And then define your site & local testing server in DW. See links below for details.
WAMP for Windows http://www.wampserver.com/en/
XAMPP for Windows http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
XAMPP for Mac http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-macosx.html

Using hyperlinks in Dreamweaver (Was: Dreamweaver Cs6 Help?)

Ok, well I'm using Dreamweaver Cs6 and came across a few obstacles I was hoping to get help with. One of them is the hyperlinks, I am building an antique based website and cannot figure out how to add multiple links so all pages are linked to the other like, home to porcelain, then if I then decided to choose glass while I'm on porcelain, I could click glass from there. Its hard to explain but hopefully someone understands what I mean. Second would be adding the Spry Menu Bar. I figured out how to write and code it yesterday and it worked fine, but when I went to go add the Spry Menu Bar code to my other pages it showed it as a vertical bar with bullets. Any help would be great for I am on a tight schedule. If its easy to explain on skype or something let me know and I'll post it. I just really need this help

Safest way to link is to construct your destination page first and then click on the source link and then let DW code the link to the target page for you
Finished code would look like this if you named your pages as I have
<li><a href="german.htm">German</a></li>
<li><a href="chinese.htm">Chinese</a></li>
<li><a href="english.htm">English</a></li>
Sorry I don't have your DW version but here's a video

Hi Eric,
From what I understand, we are not going to have version based documentation any more. The What's New documentation will cover topics that have changed in a particular version.

Problems accessing Dreamweaver CS6 help in English

When I install Dreamweaver CS6, the language option shows "English" followed by hebrew script or "English" followed by arabic script. There are no other English options. When I have tried to access adobe help pages directly from DW CS6, the help pages are in these scripts, not the standard script (as the one I am writing in). In fact, the only language options available are languages from southern Europe or NE Africa/Middle East.
I am wondering if this is because I purchased the software from an online retailer called newoemsoftware.com. There was nothing on their web pages stating anything "unusual" about the software for US markets, but it was greatly discounted over the usual price.
How can I remedy this so I can access adobe help pages directly from the DW CS6 startup page in English?

"Help" error 404 in Dreamweaver CS6

I have just purchased Dreamweaver CS6 after more than twelve years of web-site development using NetObjects Fusion and hand-coding.
Conscious of the step-up in possibilities offered by CS6, I am keen to learn as I go (un-learning my existing bad habits too).
Sadly, at the first hurdle, I tried to click on "Help" on the first page and had Error 404 returned.
I have been looking at the excellent tutorials, but thought all the promises of seamless integration would not trip up so soon.
My default browser is Firefox - is that the problem? I don't trust IE which keeps falling over.
Any help would be happily received!

Hi Nigel,
Welcome to the Dreamweaver forum.
Having used NOF for several years, I know what you're going through.
First, define your local site folder. Go to Site > New Site. Tell DW where to find the folder containing all your site files. This is an important 1st step, otherwise DW cannot properly manage links and assets for you. See screenshots.
You will probably want to define your remote server settings too, but you don't need to do that to work on local files.
Root directory is where your hosting provider told you to put your files. This varies by host. The directory could be public_html, www or htdocs. Some hosts don't use a directory in which case you should leave this field blank.
Run a Test. If you can't connect, click on More Options:
Chances are you will need to re-build your site with CSS layouts and cleaner HTML code. Initially, I used Find & Replace to strip out all the old NOF proprietary tags, inline font styles, tables, etc... It's a tedious task but well worth it in the long run.
Finally, validate your code with the W3C validation tools and fix all reported errors.
     Code validation tools:
          CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
          HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
Have fun!

Help with Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac

I am a long time user of Dreamweaver CS 5.5 for PC and recently purchased an IMac. I have a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac and am having difficulty displaying an html file in Live View. I always used "Preview in Browser" in CS 5.5 and need this same feature. I have an active site that I imported into CS6 and the site uses templates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jim

Trying to connect to PhoneGap Build Service in Dreamweaver CS6 but get a "Temporary Server related error". Help!

I am trying to connect to the PhoneGap Build Service in Dreamweaver CS6 but after about a minute I receive the error "Temporary Server related error. Please try again later.". I have googled, searched and implemented any fix that I could find without any joy. I have fully updated Dreamweaver and all other Cloud services but still am receiving the error.
I can log into build.phonegap.com using my Adobe ID no problem and I have linked a GitHub account to my Adobe ID so I am at a loss as what I can try next.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dan

Dreamweaver CS6- jquery and jquery cycle to have 5 images slide (as a fade) in a banner code failure- help?

Dreamweaver CS6- I am trying to use jquery and jquery cycle to have 5 images slide (as a fade) in a banner. I thought I got the code right but it stacked the images. I suspect I have the incorrect code for the position or I haven't properly added cycle.
my head code:
<title>slider</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JS/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="JS/jquery.cycle2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#slider').cycle({
</script>
<style type="text/CSS">
#slider {margin:auto;}
</style>
My div code:
<div id="slider">
<p>
    <img src="Leather web page/DSC_0531_4925.JPG"/>
    <img src="Leather web page/DSC_0035_edited-1.JPG"/>
    <img src="Leather web page/DSC_1593_edited-1.jpg"/>
    <img src="Leather web page/DSC_1595_edited-1.jpg"/>
    <img src="Leather web page/DSC_1821.jpg"/>
    </div>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. You can use a constructor to change the defaults. The default values can be seen in jquery.cycle2.js starting at line 659 as per the following. As you can see at the bottom, the code automatically runs the slideshow(s)
// @see: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/api
$.fn.cycle.defaults = {
    allowWrap:        true,
    autoSelector:     '.cycle-slideshow[data-cycle-auto-init!=false]',
    delay:            0,
    easing:           null,
    fx:              'fade',
    hideNonActive:    true,
    loop:             0,
    manualFx:         undefined,
    manualSpeed:      undefined,
    manualTrump:      true,
    maxZ:             100,
    pauseOnHover:     false,
    reverse:          false,
    slideActiveClass: 'cycle-slide-active',
    slideClass:       'cycle-slide',
    slideCss:         { position: 'absolute', top: 0, left: 0 },
    slides:          '> img',
    speed:            500,
    startingSlide:    0,
    sync:             true,
    timeout:          4000,
    updateView:       0
// automatically find and run slideshows
$(document).ready(function() {
    $( $.fn.cycle.defaults.autoSelector ).cycle();
2. To center the slideshow, merely center the container as in
div.cycle-slideshow {
    width: 1000px;
    margin: auto;

Dreamweaver CS6 Insert Panel Help

I am trying the 30 day Dreamweaver CS6 Creative Cloud and would like to know how to get the Text Bar in the Insert Panel. I currently have the following in my insert panel.
Common
Structure
Media
Form
jQuery Mobile
jQuery UI
Templates
Favorites
I am new to Dreamweaver so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mark

If you have that set-up in the Insert panel, you're using Dreamweaver CC (version 13), not Dreamweaver CS6 (version 12).
The Text category was removed from the Insert panel in Dreamweaver CC because it duplicated features that were available elsewhere. If you're looking for special characters, they're now at the bottom of the Common category in the Insert panel.

I asked my teacher after I downloaded the DW Cs6 as mine did not have the Spry. The application that was used in shcool was DW Cs6, the difference is that it has Spry. Is it possible that the version they have in school was the one before the update??
How exactly are you trying to insert Spry ? the usual method is to go to:
Insert >> Spry
See this picture:
Perhaps you can post a picture of how your screen looks so that we can see whether your installation is corrupted or not.

HELP Dreamweaver CS6 crush...

MY dreamweaver cs6 cannot open it keeps saying ''dreamweaver quit unexpectedly'' i have tried o restart the computer and reopen the program but nothing is working

Bring it to the Computer/Network Admin guy at your school and have them try clearing DWs Cache File: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811 if you don't have access to it yourself.
It's a decent catch-all for "suddenly acting up" issues.
