Dreamweaver CS6 versus CC feature set question

I must not have been paying close attention when CC was announced.  I had the distinct impression the current version of CS6 would be maintained and updated and CC would be "next version".  I see that "CC" for Dreamweaver is version 12.1 while my version of CS6 is version 12.0xxx.  I read about a number of new update features in Dreamweaver - the update was for version 12.2. 
To cut to the chase, have ALL updates (other than obvious critical ones) to CS6 been concluded?  Is it now, basically, end of life? 
I'm a student - I paid $450 in February 2013 for a student copy of the suite; if I need to upgrade (and Dreamweaver changes suggest yes), I'll have to start paying $20/month student rate to get these version 12.x updates.   Budgets are tight; I just want to make sure that's what I have to do.  It's not like I actually have a second option in the marketplace to replace it..... The changes in 12.2 are critical for my use/education.
Thanks.

The Adobe Dreamweaver team made a patch available with version number 12.0.3 for Perpetual customers on 12/12/2012.

  • Stable updates to Dreamweaver CS6 build 5842 (Was: Simple Questions)

    I'm using creative suite 6 design & web premiun. Question: Using Dreamweaver cs6  version 12.0 build 5842 and I'm wondering if there are any version updates I need to do and if they are stable?  I see updates 12.0.1 and 12.0.2 and 12.03 listed and see there have been issues. Question: Are these now clean for updating and do you need to install all of them or just the newest update?. Question:  I do updates within dreamweaver but wondering if these are separate stand alone updates?

    There are several versions of DW CS6 for perpetual license holders & Cloud subscribers.
    Perpetual Licensed 12.0 was the ORIGINAL release.   2 subsequent updates, 12.01 and 12.02, were made available to fix some early bugs.  In my experience, they were both stable.  If you don't have them already, get the last update 12.02  in DW's Help menu, by clicking on Updates.
    Additional CS6 updates were made available to Cloud subscribers only: 12.1 & 12.2.  These included some significant changes to the interface.  Among them, changes to the Insert Menu with the removal of some features and the addition of others.  See link below for details.

  • Create web photo album missing in Dreamweaver CS6

    Why is create web photo album missing from the command menu in my Dreamweaver CS6?

    That feature disappeared in Dreamweaver CS5.

  • Problem building record set using Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud Product

    I am having a problem building a Results Page using Dreamweaver CS6.  I have followed all the steps described in Dreamweaver/Build Search and Results Page Article (multiple times).  It seems that when I save the Results page it does not copy the php used to build the dynamic table.  In fact when I view the source, I do not see any php code. 
    Additionally, when I attempt to bind the record set, it also does not accept the Default Value(s).  Enstead it gives me a list of all data in the colum(s) chosen for the record set (using Where..LIKE..variable definition).
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Norv

    Yes, I will be glad to go through each step.  I will also provide code.
    Step 1:  Built the Search Page by adding Form into exisitng htm page.  Used Insert> Form>Form to insert Form area.  Then added three (3) text fields using Text Icon from the Form Menu Bar (Classic View).
    Step 2: Added a Submit and Reset Button to the Search Page.  Again used the Form Menu Bar to create the Buttons.
    Step 3: Selecte the <form> tag at bottom of Document Window to point Form to the Results Page (using the Action Box.
    Saved page and then began building the Results Page using an existing htm page.  Saved the Results Page as a .php document.
    Results Page:  Here are steps taken to build Results Page (Code will follow):
    1/ On the Results Page created a Recordset using the bindings dialog box.  Used the Advanced Recordset Dialog Box.  In the Advanced Dialog Box I used the Select and Where features to create a Recordset that created a 3 column table (records.County, records.ListPrice, records.PropertyType).  In the Variable box I created 3 variables (varCounty, varListPrice, varPropertyType).  varCounty and varPropertyType parameters are text (Type) and % (for Default Value).  varListPrice parameters are floating point (type) and % (for Default Value).  RunTime Value is $_REQUEST["ColumnName"].
    Here is the Code generated by Dreamweaver.  Note, I am not including the code to access the database, because in all tests I am able to access the table.  In fact first time I built the dynamic table, everything worked and I saw the Colum and default value.  Have never been able to duplicate that effort.  :-)
    Here is code:
    <?php
    if (!function_exists("GetSQLValuestring")) {
    function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
    if (PHP_VERSION<6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
    $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) :
    mysql_escape_string($theValue);
    switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "". $theValue ."" : "NULL";
    break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
    break;
    case "double":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
    break;
    case "date":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "".  $theValue ."" : "NULL";
    break;
    case "defined"
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
    break;
    return $theValue;
    $varCounty_rslistings = "%";
    if (isset($_GET["County"])) {
    $varCounty_rslistings = $_Get["County"];
    $varListPrice_rslistings = "%";
    if (isset($_GET["ListPrice"])) {
    $varListPrice_rslistings = $_GET["ListPrice"];
    $varPropertyType_rslistings = "%";
    if (isset($_GET["PropertyType"])); {
    $varPropertyType_rslistings = $_GET["PropertyType"];
    mysql_select_db($database_MyDB, $MyDB);
    $query_reslistings = sprintf("SELECT records.County, records.ListPrice, records.PropertyType FROM records WHERE records.County LIKE %s AND records.ListPrice LIKE %s AND records.PropertyType LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString($varCounty_rslistings, "text"),GetSQLValueString($varListPrice_rslistings,"double"),
    GetSQLValueString($varPropertyType_rslistings,"text"));
    $rslistings = mysql_query($query_rslistings, $MyDB) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rslistings = mysql_fetch_assoc($rslistings);
    $totalRows_rslistings = mysql_num_rows($rslistings);
    ?>
    That's the code that was generated by Dreamweaver.

  • I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

    Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality.  You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them.  You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 Crashes w/Find Feature

    All of a sudden my Dreamweaver CS6 started crashing when I use the Find feature.
    I use a MacBook Pro 10.9.3 w/8GB RAM and I have plenty of space available on my Boot Drive.
    I have done the normal things that Mac users do to clear PRAM and other measures, however it isn't helping.
    And apparently it's only with the Find Feature. I do use this feature a lot when dealing with looking through code with a lot of lines.
    Dreamweaver on my computer is fully updated and so is the computer's software.
    I am going to install Dreamweaver CC to see if this fixes this issue.
    However I really need to know if there is any others with the same issue or not, and if there's a fix or not.
    I do have Creative Cloud.
    Also I read that Mac is no longer going to be supporting Java.....

    Have you tried clearing the program cache/renaming the personal Config folder as of yet? This will catch all kinds of weird "just started happening" issues...
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    If that does nothing, restoring preferences to factory default can clear up issues with extension conflicts that cause weird behaviors...
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
    You can have both programs installed simultaneously, as I'm sure you've noticed, but if you still have issues with DWCS6 after doing the above, a full clean reinstall using the Adobe Cleaner Tool will generally fix it...
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    If none of the above do anything, try creating a new admin level user account and see if the program functions. I've seen it a few times here in the forum with Macs where the new user account brings the program back from unstable/unusable.

  • Business Catalyst feature currently not working in Dreamweaver CS6

    Anyone else experiencing this? I can login to BC, but my module icons won't show and I can't jump to admin either. Is there a prferences setting I accidentally switched off? Is the system down?

    The Business Catalyst integration with Dreamweaver is just bug ridden. Since I first reported this bug 7 MONTHS AGO!!! (Thanks for getting on the problem Adobe) Anyway, since I first reported the problem I have purchased a brand new PC (this month) with a fresh install of CS6... I intentionally did not upgrade Dreamweaver CS6 because as soon as you do you lose all Business Catalyst function. Everything was fine until this morning when I logged on to work, launched Dreamweaver and again... I CAN'T LOG INTO BUSINESS CATALYST THROUGH DREAMWEAVER! Worked fine yesterday but today not so much... so here we go again -  unistall Dreamweaver re-install and hope it works. Not the most efficient system but when Adode doesn't respond to bug fixes for over half a year... there isn't much you can do. I'm a paid partner too... what a disgrace.

  • Is there a way to Auto-Correct Spelling of text as I write text in Dreamweaver CS6 ?

    While I write text on the html pages using Dreamweaver CS6 (Adobe Cloud downloaded version 2014), there is only an option to Spell Check the page.
    But I am asking if there is a way to set preferences to auto-correct suggestions such as how Word Docs offer solutions to mis-spelled words?

    Thank you for your replies.
    I am using Adobe, Creative Cloud /  Dreamweaver Software Program iMac Downloads, updated to current.
    I believe there not to be the feature present in Dreamweaver on "Page View" to Spell Correct Automatically by giving word options, etc.
    I know to spell check the entire page before posting the page(s) live.
    I am not only writing in code view, designing HTML 5 pages, but  I am the Author and Editor of all content as well.
    I can see how the coders would hate having text auto correct.
    But, on the editor side, as a writer, from the page view, ... it would rock as an option.

  • Can we design professional PHP websites in Dreamweaver CS6 ?

    Can we design professional PHP websites in Dreamweaver CS6 ?

    Dreamweaver is not a professional PHP IDE (integrated development environment). As such, it lacks PHP debugging capabilities and other features that a nice IDE has.
    But you can code PHP in Dreamweaver, and it does have pretty good PHP syntax checking. So yes, you can create a PHP website using Dreamweaver.
    A lot depends on what exactly you mean by "professional PHP website" and what your programming skill level is. The fact that you are asking this question tells me that your coding skills must not be great, because if they were, you would not need to ask this question. Dreamweaver is a much "friendlier" environment than a PHP IDE. You might find a PHP IDE like ZEND Studio to be overwhelming, in which case Dreamweaver would be your better choice.

  • Lost Dreamweaver CS6 serial number

    I have had Dreamweaver CS6 for a while without installing it, now I'm trying to install it and register it but I have lost the serial number.  I have a copy of my purchase receipt from the reseller and have contacted the them every which way I can but have not received a response (there phone number is disconnected as well.  I've also done multiple searches on the forums and tried every which way suggested with no success.  i hate to post this because there are so many similar posts out there but so far im at a dead end. Is there any other way I can recover my serial number?

    Hello Joshua,
    first of all you should have a look at Adobe's database, to see what's stored/saved about your accounts.
    https://www.adobe.com/account.html  >>> see My productsView all >>> These registered products are associated with your Adobe ID. >>> Name >>> Serial number.
    If not successful use http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html  >>> I lost my serial number >> see comment
    The last time Adobe suggests so too this https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?step=ZNA_downloading-installing-setting-up_licensing- activation
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • Dreamweaver CS6: desktop interface is now abnormal.  Irreversibly?

    Hello to all:
        In Dreamweaver CS6, my desktop interface is now abnormal.   I fiddled with the Mobile Apps development features and now the Files section (usually to the far right) insists upon covering up the right portion of the website.   It's mobile when I want to return it to its (right-side) portion of the screen without covering up the website, too.
    Might there be some sort of "default settings" button that I could find and click, to get things back to normal please?     
    Thanks and happy Autumn to all...   :-)

    You can rearrange your workspace to set it up any way you like by clicking and dragging the named tabs of any window to the edges of the application frame, or the edges of other windows ,until you see a highlight. Once the highlight appears, release the tab to make the window stick to that location. You can also drag the tabs out to the center of the monitor and release them to create free floating windows.
    Once you have everything the way you like, go to Window > Workspace Layout > New Workspace to give your custom workspace a name. From there on out you can Go to Window > Workspace Layout > Reset (name) to bring anything that gets inadvertently moved back to your custom setup.

  • Can't map keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 (Mac)

    I am trying to modify the keyboard shortcuts in Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac to match the mappings I had for CS5.
    I used Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to switch between open documents. When I trry to set this in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog it ignores my input. I tried to modify it in menu.xml (which already had this set, presumably because it copied it from CS5), but it still doesn't appear in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog or work when I press the keys.

    I've just done some testing, and can confirm that Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a Mac (UK keyboard) allows you to assign Ctrl+Tab to that keyboard shortcut. But it won't accept it on Dreamweaver CS6.
    I've no idea why that should be so. It's probably an internal change to something else that has affected it, and nobody noticed during testing because it's not common to change an existing keyboard shortcut to something else.
    I suggest that you file a bug report through the form at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform. Reports filed through that form go directly to the program team.
    I can understand your frustration, but please remember that most of the people answering questions here, including myself, are not Adobe employees.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 PhoneGap build with Camera support for Android Device

    I am trying to build a simple app that triggers the camera in my Samsung N7000 device.
    I have built the app using Dreamweaver CS6 using the builting phonegap build support.
    I am using the Windows version of Dreamweaver CS6.
    When the app is built it shows no errors but when the app is installed on the device it does not trigger  the camera.
    I can not seem to get this very basic app to trigger the camera.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 do not launch

    Hi guys
    I need help!
    My Dreamweaver CS6 do not launch.
    It bounces and nothing happens.
    I have tried everything and it is still not working!
    I have the Adobe CS6 Master Collection.
    All other programs work just fine!
    My specs:
    iMac 21,5 - late 2012
    OSX 10.8.3
    3,1GHz Intel Core i7
    What I've tried:
    1] Changed the permissions on the program it self, made sure it's set to "read & write" for the users
    2] Unstinalled and re-installed Dreamweaver CS6 - with the Administrator account
    3] Unstinalled and re-installed Dreamweaver CS6 - with the Root User account
    Step by step:
    I have (for both Administrator and Root User) done the above in the following steps:
    1] Repair disk permissons [Still not working]
    2] Unistall Dremweaver
    3] Re-boot
    4] Repair disk permissions
    5] Re-boot
    6] Re-install Dreamwever
    7] Re-boot
    8] Launch Dreamweaver
    - and still, just bounces and disappears, not working!
    I am now totaly out of ideas on what to do!
    My old CS5.5 worked without a glitch!
    Help Please!
    Note: It has worked just fine before.

    Hi David
    Yes, CS5.5 did work before, but doesn't anymore.
    The thing is that CS6 did work and I installed it in December (or maybe possibly january). And it's the upgrade version from 5.5 if that would make any difference?
    All I have done is to create 5 simple HTML pages for a friend and their band, nothing fancy.
    I haven't set up a site or anything, no FTP stuff and so on. I haven't really had the time to use CS6.
    The other day i decided to start creating my new, much over due, update of my old site.
    And I really want and need to use the new features of CS6, like the ability to easiely set up for different devices (I am an old HTML 4 CSS guy and are reading upp on HTML5 and CSS3).
    That's when i discovered that CS6 did no longer work and here I am :-)
    I have been using Photoshop and Dreamweaver for as longs as I can remember so I know there's nothing wrong with the product, it was a comment out of dispare
    Hi Preran
    Not a problem with the time. I appreciate all the help I can get :-)
    As long as it ends up with me working in CS6 again.
    I am currently restoring the MAC from a Time Machine copy from early january, if that doesn't work (and you guys can't come up with a nifty solution) I will have to restore the iMAC to it's original state.
    Thank you all for your support and help!!
