Dreamweaver Fluid Grid and Twitter Bootstrap

Does anyone know if it's possible to graft the Twitter Bootstrap styling, elements and functioning onto the Fluid Grid in Dreamweaver CS6? If so how?
I think it would be great to be able to have the ease of manipulating the rows and columns using the Fluid Grid and have all the cool styling and all from Twitter Bootstrap.

Here is the complete grid css file that I'm using. It is modified from the original bootstrap. Different class names. It's wrapped in a media query so that the grid only applies above 768px. It gives you a 12 grid system.

  • Responsive scaling of Edge Animate composition in Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Layout

    I have created an animation in Edge Animate and have placed it in the header of a Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Layout. I have put it in a div by itself so it can be turned off in the mobile layout. When I test the layout in a browser, the Edge Animate composition scales responsively to the window size, but the height of the div it is in does not. The width of the div changes with the width of the window, but the height of the div remains the same. Because the height of the div doesn't change, as the animation responds and resizes it leaves a large empty space between the bottom of the animation and the content that follows it on the page.
    The div itself does not have a rule for it's height associated with it. It seems to me that the div is getting its height from the original size of the html object which is the animation. I tried removing the height rule for the object, but then the div clips the bottom of the animation, and again, it doesn't resize with the window.
    Is there a way I can get the div's height to resize with the size of the animation as it changes?

    Thanks for your reply. You're right about most people not resizing their viewport during a session, but unfortunately the problem exists whether the screen is being resized or not. Refreshing the screen doesn't solve the problem.
    The width of the div adjusts to the width of the screen as expected and the Edge Animate composition inside it does too, but the height of the div doesn't adjust. As the animation gets smaller to fit the width, the height of the div that contains it remains the same, leaving empty space at the bottom of the div. What is needed is for the div to scale to fit the page width proportionally. Instead, only the width is adjusting.
    So I guess I need to know if there's either a way to force the div to scale proportionally or a way to tell it to adjust to the animation that it contains.

  • Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Layout

    Hi everybody! Doesn't it feel like the Fall weather? I love it as I see the trees changing colors. I will miss Summer but will enjoy the Fall holidays.
    This question goes back to one I asked a while ago but it is different. I decided to update to DW CC and I can't tell you how much I love it as
    I have watched all of the tutorials and find it much easier than the previous version.
    One thing I decided to do was to use the Dreamweaver Fluid Grid layout. I totally understand how it works for the most part. When I go to DW CC and the load up screen, I Select fluid grid layouts and then I am presented with a smartphone version, a tablet version, and a desktop version. I left the defaults as they seem to be updated and correct. This is the thing, I design my mockups in PS. I guess I am baffled on how to code that offer to DW. When I always created a fixed layout, I would easily just measure out the divs in PS and then create them in DW sizing everything to perfectly match my initial mockup.
    Now that I am using a fluid layout. I am presented with columns. Again, I left them as the default. My question is, I am designing in PS, I am designing for a specific resolution of 1024x768. But I am just confused on if I need to decrease columns or add columns to fit that, or if I even need to at all. For my specific resolution, should I change the desktop columns to somehow correspond to a 1024x768 resolution? The default is 12 columns. In Photoshop, is there a way to insert a fluid like grid to help me with my mockup?
    Sorry if this is a lot, but I would appreciate any help, thank you so much!

    Hi Nancy! I hope you have been well. Thanks so much for taking the time to post screen shots.
    I thought I just needed to create a mockup in PS with a 1024x768 resolution, and slice images. With the fluid layout, I inserted for example, my header image or banner at the top and I inserted it in the desktop view, it looked normal. It was sliced in a 1024 x 768 mockup. But, when I go to tablet and smartphone, it shrinks and it looks distorted almost. Is there something I am doing wrong?
    You stated that I needed to create 3 mockups in PS based on those sizes. Does that mean I would have to slice them all and place them in their proper sized sections smart phone, tablet, and desktop?
    Here is a video I watched. It seems like this guy used the same image and it looks just fine in all sizes. Create fluid, responsive web pages in Dreamweaver | Learn Dreamweaver CC | Adobe TV

  • Edge Animate Stage size in Dreamweaver fluid grid

    I have developed an animation and have almost everything scaling and resizing acceptably in a Dreamwaevr template...except the stage.
    In Edge animate I have a stage size that is 1212px x 400px. When the animation is viewed on a PC all the dimensions are fine, but when viewed in tablet or mobile phone, the vertical height remains at 400px... which leaves an enormous gap between the bottom of the animation and the next div.
    I have set the stage dimensions to %, and have turned on the "link width & height" switch, and the stage still does not respond in vertical height.
    How can I get the stage to respond vertically with a fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver?
    I also note that every time I open up a previously saved Edge Animate file, the stage automatically opens the file at 550x400px, instead of the correct dimension for that animation, so that I have to then reset the stage size to what is correct for that animation... ..any reason this may be so?
    Thanks,
    Glen.

    Thanks for your reply. You're right about most people not resizing their viewport during a session, but unfortunately the problem exists whether the screen is being resized or not. Refreshing the screen doesn't solve the problem.

As the animation gets smaller to fit the width, the height of the div that contains it remains the same, leaving empty space at the bottom of the div. What is needed is for the div to scale to fit the page width proportionally. Instead, only the width is adjusting.
    So I guess I need to know if there's either a way to force the div to scale proportionally or a way to tell it to adjust to the animation that it contains.

  • Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Problems

      I am having some weird issues since the upgrade to Dreamweaver CC 2014.1.1. I have Dreamweaver installed on an Asus laptop with the following specifications:
    Windows 8.1 64bit
    Intel Core i7-3630QM
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M 3gig
    NVidia Graphics Driver 9.18.13.4752
    24 gig ram
    256 SSD Drive (Program installed on this drive)
    750gb 7200 HD (files installed on this drive)
    The problems I am running into are as follows:
    When resizing the fluid grid in live view, I can select the right part of the div and drag it over to the left. When I try to click the left div and drag it over to the right it will not let me. I have to click to another view (for example from phone view to tablet then back to phone view) in order to drag the div over.
    If I have several pages open and I switch from one page to another the code from previous page is showing until I do a refresh.
    As many others are experiencing, it is slow when I type some text inside the div. Also when I change a CSS property (I have a separate attached CSS file) it takes a few seconds for the result to show in live view.   All in all when dealing with all this, it gets somewhat frustrating.
    I wasn't experiencing any problems like this before this upgrade.
    Any thoughts on what I can do on my end to help with this?

    Personally, I'd just go back to the older version and keep an eye on the forums until Adobe comes up with something. This is becoming much more commonplace with the latest release.
    You can roll back using the Creative Cloud Desktop App by clicking the Apps tab, then scroll down to the Filters and Previous Versions link. That will turn the Install icons into dropdown menus with the available older versions.
    I stopped upgrading DW with CC 2014.0 (last June's release), it has been rock solid for me. That version isn't available through the app though, you would have to download it directly from the link below:

  • Fluid Grid and IE7/8?

    I'm using Dreamweaver CC with a one page fluid grid design (www.stratum-group.ca/index_fix.html). It checks out everywhere except with a client who is getting some weird behaviour. In trying to replicate the effect, it seems like the problem is either an IE 7 browser (using IE developer toolbar in IE8 with document mode set to "IE7 standards" seems to replicate the situation), but she says she's running 8.
    Every other platform I'm testing in, right down to mobile and various flavours of Firefox, Chrome and Safari, seems to come through okay.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    TIA

    Reach Puneet may have a good solution for you here. I'm not sure what he is talking about concerning the HTML5 shiv bug but you to have to put http: in front of anything that is a link to an external source (outside of your website).
    But with respect to that, you have created ids for each of the people in that page. It's messy, but should work. None of those ids use HTML5 elements, so the use of the shiv in those cases won't matter.
    The other thing I see here is in lines 2-5 you have:
    <!--[if lt IE 7]> <html class="ie6 oldie"> <![endif]-->
    <!--[if IE 7]>    <html class="ie7 oldie"> <![endif]-->
    <!--[if IE 8]>    <html class="ie8 oldie"> <![endif]-->
    <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html class=""><!--<![endif]-->
    I'm not sure what the heck these conditional statements are and what they do. These classes do not exist in any of your called style sheets. They also preceed ALL calls to your style sheets, so they cannot possibly correct anything in your style sheets that involve Microsoft browsers. Last but not least, please understand that Internet Exploder 10 does not understand these escapes, so Microsoft has shut down these kinds of conditional structures for their latest browser.
    In any case, these lines seem do do nothing, save set an HTML class that does not exist in your style sheets. Now, there may be people here who can enlighten me as to what these classes mean, but I did not know that any version lower than Internet Exploiter 9 can correctly render any CSS3 or HTML5.
    What it looks like you are doing is placing each of the team bios horizontally. I think that, for versions of Internet Exploder 9 and below, I would make a separate style sheet using the Old School method of lining everyone up, which is to create three vertical columns with the teams inside those, placing this conditional IE-specific line after you call your other style sheets:
    <!--[if lte IE 9]><link href="_css/ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"><![endif]-->
    Then create a simple 3-column layout inside a container in that style sheet using the same elements as you have in your main style sheet.
    Frankly, with all of those id elements for each person in your style sheet, you have created a bit of a mess. I would have made styles that are more generic and would have used classes, not ids. But in the ie.css you could clear all previous styles set (using the cascade) by defining them thusly:
    #team-DavidP {
    (and so on)
    If you have a class or id that has no css associated with it, it simply becomes a div with no style and will be displayed in the style of its containing element.

  • What are the Photoshop design dimensions for Dreamweaver fluid grid layout?

    If I were to build a website using Dreamweavers fluid grid layout, what are the dimensions in Photoshop I should be designing with?

    FluidGrid Layouts are based on % widths; not fixed pixel widths.   As such your PShop design comps will need to be planned with these device widths in mind.
    320px - 480px wide = mobile
    481px - 768px width = small tablet
    600px - 1024px width = large tablet
    1024px - 1233px width = desktop/laptop

    I downloaded Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, started using it but cannot find Show Fluid Grid Layout Guides button, Resize LI.link sizing handle and 'move up a Row' arrow. Where can I find them?

    You have the latest version (CC 2014.1 or 2014.1.1) in which the interface condenses Design View with Live View buttons in normal layouts.  See screenshot.
    However, in FGLayouts, Live View is the only option which poses some editing problems and has been highly criticized.
    Is there any way to display the Design View in fluid grid pages?

  • Fluid Grid problem dreamweaver cc  in IE11

    Site made in dreamweaver cc with fluid grid layout. It looks and works fine in Safari en Google CHrome but the fluid grid does not work in IE11. Someone a solution?  http://www.fvdc.be

    Troubles with the fluid grid not entirely solved.
    The solution was that i imported tables in the Fluid Grid and that was not a good idea!
    At the moment i am one step ahead but still not satisfied with the result.
    The appearance in IE11 looks better, never the less when i reduce the screen size, the layout does not follow all the way.
    Even in Fire Fox, Safari and google chrome.
    There is even an additional problem.
    II do only get one direction right on mobile screens. Vertical or horizontal, but not both.
    In adapting on Dreamweaver, when i set-up one scene size right for horizontal and vertical positioning then the layout of the other screen sizes change as well (in the wrong way)
    In viewing our site you probably understand the problem better then in the explanation in this writing.

    Thanks for all the previous advice and we hope to get an answer to this post!

  • Unable to edit elements in Fluid Grid Layout - Dreamweaver CC

    Hello. I have an issue whereby the elements inserted in to a Fluid Grid Layout designed webpage become 'locked' (??) I can no longer edit them and when they are clicked on I just get a blue border. No handles, eye, delete button etc..
    I cannot find any pattern on why this is happening and seems to be random. Although I am happy to accept I am doing something wrong..
    Any ideas?

    aytonwest
    Are you removing/modifying any of the comments in the related CSS file (custom styles file and not the ones provided by boilerplate/JQuery/etc)
    DW uses some comments to identify the page as a FG page. If you happen to remove/modify any of that, DW will stop recognizing it as a FG page.
    The comment block would look similar to:

  • Fluid Grid wont work in IE11? Firefox and Chrome is fine. Any ideas?

    Need help on this one.
    I'm new to fluid grid, and I should say a bit of an amateur at Dreamweaver, but I get by.
    I can create fluid grid pages without any problems. Although it will not work with IE11. Chrome and Firefox works fine.
    I'm also having the same issue with the Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Templates. I'm confident in saying, I'm doing everything correctly. 
    Has anyone come across this issue?

    By "not working" what isn't working exactly?
    Display?  Media Queries?   Layout?
    Are you using IE in Compatibility Mode which is essentially like viewing in IE7?  Try turning off Compatibility Mode to see if things improve.

  • Hide / Show fluid grids on Dreamweaver CC 2014.1

    Hello !
    How can we hide the fluid grid on the 2014.1 release ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Hide how exactly?
    Do you mean you want to use FGLayouts in 2014.1 with Design View?
    Open your Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below.  This will trick DW into thinking it's a normal layout so you can use Design View, spell check, copy & paste text, etc...

  • Business Catalyst or Cartweaver with fluid grid

    I'm considering a dreamweaver ecommerce site for my art business.  So far, I'm trying Shopify and love the easy ecommerce software, but HATE the design limitations.  It simply makes me claustrophobic.
    I've had success mocking up designs with the fluid grid, and incorporating all the cool features I want.  However, it's the opposite situation.  Ecommerce seems detatched and probably difficult.
    Should I look to Business Catalyst or something like Cartweaver?  Are either of these compatible with the fluid grid layout?  I only want responsive, and refuse to use a template.
    I basically want a system that can manage products and orders similar to Shopify, but without the creative limitations.

    Cartweaver can plug into most any design and it could with some CSS tweaking work within a responsive design. The advantage is it is made to fit into a developers design and not force some pre-conceived template or design on you.  The formatting that is used for the store elements is controlled by CSS so you can change and adjust it as needed...  alos, while using an Extension id Dremweaver to be installed - it is not dependent on this, we removed all that when we saw where Adobe was going with Server behaviors in Dreamweaver CC - so once placed in your site it's all just regular html / css and php or CF - no special Dreamweaver or non standard tags or comments to get in the way.
    That being said, are the cart / store elements 100% responsive design out of the box?  No.  The search results feature, that displays products based on the user's search has the number of columns and row controls via an entry in the web based admin - so it doesn't auto collapse the way a true responsive design would. and the product details pages display isn't "collapsible" - But this could be simply over written to ignore this setting and user your CSS. So with some tweaking you could be ready to go. 
    We know that responsive design is becoming a bigger requirement all the time so we do intend on updating the presentation side of Cartweaver to support this, we are working on a couple of other cool things that are ahead of this, but it is definitely on our short list to offer this, but in the mean time, it is something that could be tweaked by the developer with a good knowledge of CSS and a reasonable understanding of php or Cf, depending on what version you choose.
    The real advantage is the lack of creative restrictions, as well as not being locked into a proprietary hosted solution, those are advantages to consider, and after the initial learning curve you will find that the presentation side can be bent to your will - whatever that may be :-)
