Dreamweaver CC 2014 and Server Behaviors

Where are the new server behaviors for PHP/MySQL in the new CC 2014 edition?

Hi All,
Just to reiterate we do have Extension Manager CC standalone to install extensions for Dreamweaver CC 2014, that update is already available via Creative Cloud Application, please update Extension Manager if you need to support CC 2014 release products.
For Server Behavior just wanted to let you guys know that we have it available on the AddOns page from where you can install it for Dw CC 2014 also.Do use the AddOns workflow and let us know about the user experience to help make it better and easier. In case if you are looking for how to install the Server behavior from AddOns page, please follow below mentioned steps :
1. Download/Install the latest Adobe Creative Cloud Application from creative.adobe.com and make sure to turn on File Sync.
2. Launch Dreamweaver.
3. Goto Windows>>Browse AddOns.
4. Search for Server behavior in the AddOns page.
5. Now quit Dreamweaver.
6. After quitting Dreamweaver Click the install Button against the Extension in the AddOns page.
7. Wait for some time for a notification to be displayed in the Creative Cloud Application. After successful installation of the extension you should receive a notification the Creative Cloud app saying "You installed the AddOn Server Behavior & Database"
Let us know if that does not work for you.
Thanks

Dreamweaver hanging on start "Initializing server behaviours"

Hanging for about 10 secs on "Initializing server behaviours.." on start. W7 DW CS6 , cleared prefs, sites.Any help appreciated.

I have been having this issue on and off for 6+ months. Initially it was with Dreamweaver CS3. I recently upgraded to CS6. I now have the issue again. I usually can fix it by uninstalling then installing again (not a direct reinstall or repair)
What happens is dreamweaver works fine for 1-2 weeks. Then randomly when I try to open it, it freezes wih the little green Dreamweaver box that opens when dreamweaver loads. The progress bar is about 20-25% across and it says "Initializing server behaviors..."
HELP! I am completely sick of reinstalling this software and wasting 30-60 minutes bi-weekly.

DW CC 2014 Server Behaviors directly gone!

DW CC 2014 Server Behaviors directly gone, I expect a year, did not expect the worst fears happened, does no longer appear in the Server Behaviors DW inside yet! This is the DW biggest regret it!

Hi Lefing,
See this discussion Re: Dreamweaver CC 2014 and Server Behaviors. I am locking this post so that we can have all this discussion in one forum post.

Dreamweaver CS5 not showing all recordsets in databases/bindings/server behaviors windows

Dreamweaver CS5 is not showing all recordsets created on a page in the databases/bindings/server behaviors windows.
I'm on XP, DW version 11.5 build 5344.
Any idea of how I fix that?
Thanks,

OT: Bindings panel, Databases, and Server behaviors in Dreamweaver CC

Hi all,
There was a query on the Dreamweaver Facebook page about using server behaviors in Dreamweaver going forward. The product team replied to the post, and I am posting it on this forum for the benefit of users not on our Facebook page.
In Dreamweaver cc release server behaviors will be available as an extension. Once you install the extension server behaviors feature will be enabled and extensions dependent on it will work as before. In the CC release, you can find the extension at the location
* Vista/Windows 7: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\Configuration\DisabledFeatures
* Mac OS X: /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/Configuration/DisabledFeatures
Additional documentation is available at
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/dreamweaver-cc-server-extensions.html
Also, check out this video created by Silas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB2vmNfcq7A
The Dreamweaver team has posted their view about the latest changes in Dreamweaver in their blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html
Thanks,
Preran

I am sorry to say so, but your disappointing blog post just tells us two things:
You claim that you are listening to your users, but you have just proved you don’t. Despite the high volume of disappointment expressed through the comments to previous posts of this blog, through comments in Dreamweaver Help or through the Community Forum, you show no change of direction, nor any will to cater for the disrupted workflow that Dreamweaver CC is introducing. Instead, you are just producing blog posts that desperately try to prove us that you are “streamlining” and “modernizing” Dreamweaver. An extension that brings back half of the features is not a strong-enough signal that you have taken into account our needs. Extensions written by third parties which you claim are alternatives but are not resemble more leg-pulling than anything else. Will you reduce Dreamweaver’s price for the removal of killer features that were sold with the software before?
You do not seem to know how Dreamweaver users use the software or at least, to be fair, how a large number of users do. I thought the aim of software makers was to sell a tool that aids its clients in, and brings value to, their work.
As an extension writer, I can tell that the vast majority of my users are either DIY guys or professionals working on their own. Not big companies with teams of developers. The majority of those never have been Dreamweaver users and will never be, having different needs and ways of working.
As responses to your “streamlining” and “modernization” of Dreamweaver have shown, for a large number of users, the strength of Dreamweaver lies in its extensibility, of which server behaviors are the most advanced feature. I am not talking about the code they write, which we all agree has to be updated (and we have been waiting this for a number of releases, now…), I am talking about their very mechanism, which allow us to write our code and use Dreamweaver to speed up our job by helping us to write it again, faster, without errors, visually.
No other tool offers this possibility. Without server behaviors and database support, Dreamweaver is simply not worth its price…
Obviously, you are the ones with the real figures and only you can tell if it is a strategic decision or a big mistake. I was a bit surprised though by the number of voices that rose after the Dreamweaver CC release, so I tend to think that Mr. Adobe would not be that pleased by the loss of a good number of faithful clients. But then at least, be honest enough to tell us if you intend to drop a part of long-term users, and stop serving us your commercial soup…
Now, what will happen?
You still refuse to listen to the numerous voices who have called against your decision to remove useful features to us, and in this case, we will act accordingly: we are big enough, we do not need your blatant propaganda even by the product manager himself to decide whether Dreamweaver CC will still be worth its high price into our workflow, if the new features will outweigh the loss of server behaviors and database support. If not, of course, we will not upgrade just because you are marketing the supposedly wonderful new features, and we will turn to other tools, with features that will help us improve our workflow in other ways. And goodbye Adobe, we do not trust you anymore… It is as simple as that.
You show us you really are listening to your customers and you bring back updated server behaviors and database support. In this case, we will know that we can trust Adobe again, that you do listen to us, and will applaud with both hands.
And, more important to you, we will have a valid reason to upgrade and we will. Come on guys, our productivity is at stake, but your jobs may be in the line too…

CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL - Delete Record Server Behavior?

When I try to insert the Delete Record server behavior. I get an error message about a DeleteRecord.js file, which seems to be missing or defective. I cannot use the server behavior. I have a file that I developed using CS5, and it does indeed delete the record, but does not proceed to the destination I want. I cannot change that except in the server behavior, so I'm stuck. I have noticed that server behaviors seem to disappear without apparent cause, as it seems to have in this case. I will appreciate any suggestions! Is there any way to embed a call to a target page manually? All is working WITHOUT the server behavior appearing, but I want to go to a confirmation display page that shows the record is indeed deleted, and we just return to the (now blank) delete confirmation page. That'll drive a user bonkers!
Thanks!
Delete Record in CS6 Dreamweaver using PHP & MySQL?

Well, your error message is self-explanatory.
DW stores ServerBehaviors in 'Configuration' folder in installation directory. If one of the behavior JS files is missing/ corrupt, you'll see the error message you just did.
I've uploaded a functional, proper version of DeleteRecord.js onto my site for you to download. Here's the link:
http://www.sudarshan.me/adobeforum/dw/app/behavior-js/DeleteRecord.zip
Download this file, extract it and put DeleteRecord.js file in your installation directory as follows. If prompted, 'replace' your local copy:
Mac: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 > Configuration > ServerBehaviors > PHP_MySQL
Windows: C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS6\[language]\Configuration\ServerBehaviors\PHP_MySQL
It should work as expected.
If that still doesn't solve the problem, reset your DW preferences and cache and try doing it. Follow the instructions here to reset cache: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
Let us know how it goes.

Why Dreamweaver CC delete Databases, Bindings and Server Behaviors (PHP/MySQL)

I installed Dreamweaver CC on my laptop and notice that Dreamweaver CC has no Binding, Server Behaviors and Database.
A lot of my project get done by these feature (Binding, Server Behaviors and Database.), mostly for the website mock up for my clients.
Why Dreamweaver these features? We need these feature back...
For the liquid layout I don't like it, I prefer to use bootstrap then Dreamweaver feature.
Dreamweaver CC just change Dreamweaver into CSS editor comparing to previous version.

I'm not a spokesperson for Adobe. I just use the products.
DW CC extensions use .zxp files. Formerly, CS extensions used .mxp files. It's imperative that you use the correct Extension Manager version for your version of DW.
CS5 = CS5 extension manager
CS5.5 = CS5.5 extension manager
CS6 = CS6 extension manager
CC = CC extension manager and so on...
http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21842/enable-server-behaviors-and-data-bindings-panel-support-fo r-dreamweaver-cc/
There have been exhaustive discussions in this forum about the deprecated server-behaviors and Adobe's decision to remove them from CC -- presumably to discourage people from using them anymore. If you want to continue using SBs, do so at your own risk since Adobe no longer officially supports or endorses them. And if you can't get the extension from DMZone above to load in CC, your fallback is to use CS6.

In Dreamweaver CS6, the Plus (+) button in the Server Behaviors panel is greyed out. How do I make it operational?

I am trying to restrict access to a page by redirecting unauthorized users to another page. The Adobe manual instructs me to:
Open the page you want to protect.
In the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors), click the Plus button and select User Authentication > Restrict Access To Page from the pop‑up menu.
I opened the page and went to the Server Behaviors panel.
Unfortunately, the Plus button is greyed out and not operational. How do I make the Plus button operational so that I can then select User Authentication, etc?
Charlie

You can't apply server behaviors to pages that don't contain (or are specified to be when they are created) server scripting. That means they must have the proper filename extension, e.g., filename.php or filename.aspx/

Update Record Server Behavior

Using Dreamweaver MX 2004. I have a recordset created, and
need to update a table. When I select the Update Record server
behavior I get the following message "before using this behavior,
please create a recordset". However the recordset has already been
created, and it tests fine, I can see the data in the tables, and I
am able to insert a record, delete a record, but not update...
Using ASP JavaScript Server model with Access databse. Any help is
much appreciated.
Thanks! :

Hi
Have you already made the binding? - it's not obvious from
your posting - but you should have a form with the initial data you
want to update bound to it before you can update.
I won't bang on about this because maybe you did it already.

Is there any way to add dynamic parameter in sql without breaking Server Behavior

Hello, i'm building multiple language site.. i would like to know if there is possible way to add dynamic parameter in my query, without break the server behavior.
For example:
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
will become something like this:
$additionalSQL=", article.articleName_en";
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc $additionalSQL FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
this is just an example, my real scenarion is far more complicated than this... however this kind of approach break the server behavior and force to do hand-coding...
i would like to know if there's better way to do such thing like this...

Server behaviors are simply bits of boilerplate code automatically generated by Dreamweaver. Editing the code doesn't "break" it (unless your edits are badly written). However, once you edit the code, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes it, so you lose the ability to drag recordset results from the Bindings panel.
If you want to edit server behavior code, the best way to handle it is to lay out your page as you want, using the Bindings panel. Once everything has been done, only then edit the server behavior code.

It's official: server behaviors to be removed from DW

Adobe has finally confirmed what I suspected would happen: server behaviors will be removed from the next version of Dreamweaver. They will still be available to install as an extension, but will no longer be part of the core program.
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/04/nextgendreamweaver.html
There is no information regarding plans to develop a replacement for the server behaviors in a future version. I genuinely have no idea whether a replacement for the server behaviors is on the cards.

Actually, after looking into this computer I think maybe I would be best to take it to an Apple repair center. I don't want to break something. I thought maybe if it was just an easy small battery install, I could do it. I don't see where another battery can go.

ADDT Server Behaviors not all available in CS6

Hello,
I used CS3 for years with the ADDT and was very happy with it. I was given a career change and got away from programming. I then upgraded to CS6 Master Collection and the ADDT for DW does not install and all the server behaviors I have come to enjoy are not all in CS6.
What can I do? Downgrading to CS3 is not an option. do I now have to repay for these server behaviors in another extension?

ADDT has been dead for quite a while. The deprecated server behaviors in DW won't work with PHP 5.5+ so relying on them for current or future projects is futile. Adobe removed them from DW CC for a reason.
Steer clear of CS6's Behaviors Panel and learn to manually code with MySQLi (improved) or PDO.
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/pdo-vs-mysqli-which-should-you-use--net-24059
Alternatively, Web Assist sells a commercial extension for DW that uses MySQLi Behaviors.
$149.99 USD to replace the deprecated Server Behaviors panels.

Server Behavior, Bindings and Components Panels [subject edited by moderator]

How do I get Server Behavior, Bindings and Components Panels and Database feature this is the most retarded program ever! I installed the extension manager, then it wanted the panel installed, which won't installed because of photoshop version. How in the hell do I get Server Behavior, Bindings and Components Panels and Database feature!!!

The Deprecated Server Behaviors were removed for good reason. The code is woefully outdated and the old MySql connections won't work on servers with PHP 5.5 or higher.
Which operating system?
Which version of PS?
Which version of DW?
Which version of Extension Manager?
Replace Deprecated Server Behaviors with a modern commercial extension -- MySQLi (improved) or PDO:
