Dreamweaver (wordpress) testing

Is there a way to make my dreamweaver use the creative cloud to host my test files? I would like to do away with Xampp. Is there a process to make all this easier using the cloud as a host?

Dreamweaver/WordPress Help!!!

hello everyone,
I am new to this forum as to Dreamweaver as well!
So, if my question seems a bit dumb for some of you I would appreciate your forgiveness and understanding...! :+)
I am actually doing a project for university that needs to be submitted in a CD/DVD format at the end of the year. It is a blog in wordpress.
Everything is installed locally in a Mac with Mamp application to be used in a local host(my computer). It was also online(live Blog) and registered as part of a website till the person who owns the rights for the website forgot to pay and re-register the website name! Everything was shut down and i lost the rights to use my blog with that particular website.
The problem i have now: The guys from university can't check the blog online directly anymore! So, they need to install it locally in one of the machine to evaluate my work when i submit it.They use Dreamweaver CS4!
To make sure It is going to work 100 % for them, i would like to install it locally in my iMac with dreamweaver CS4 and check if what they see is what i am providing without anything missing files and everything works as if the blog was live!!! And I don't know really how to do it?! I tried few things but nothings seems to work...!
Thank you so much for all the help.
Cheers.

The testing server appears to be setup incorrectly. Specifically I'm looking at:
\phptest/wp-load.php
You should verify the paths for the server folder as well as the web URL.

Dreamweaver / wordpress errors

HI there
I have been setting up the wordpress / dreamweaver via the following link
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt2.html
Everything works find until I got to the point where it suggests setting up a test site - I had already done this under phptest originally - now I get the following error when trying to live view the site:
NOT FOUND
The requested URL /phptest/wp-content/themes/MyTheme/index.php was not found on the server?
should I have set up another test and by doing so do I populate it as I did to set up the local site???
My wordpress site is located directly in the htdocs folder (no wordpress folder)
I also get a message: the root folder you have chosen contains the folder for php test site this may cause some operations such as synchronisation to work incorrectly - so should I have deleted the phptest folder??? or should I have placed the wordpress files into their own sub fodler so: htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin etc
Can you advise on this please

However I googled the error message and I now realise what I was doing wrong. In the tutorial it tells you to go and set up a testing server. So by following this to the letter, your setting up a separate folder - with wordpress it seems according to this tutorial on youtube http:/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxxy3NsDspo
It doesnt do that. You set up your site and then setup the test server linked to your made folder where the wordpress is, rather than creating a folder in the wordpress called test or similar - this seems to be workign now
Oh I thought you had set up the testing folder (phptest) That's probably the first thing you need to do when installing Wordpress. Nothing will work otherwise, Wordpress relies on server language/database to pull all the files together.

Dreamweaver/ColdFusion Testing Server

Hello,
I am just getting started using Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with
ColdFusion because I wish to build a dynamic web site that links to
the MS Access 2000 database I have built. Before I install my
dynamic web site on a web server I wish to build the web site on my
Dell Dimension 8200 using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and 516 MB RAM
so I can develop and test it on the same computer.
I created a folder on my hard drive
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyLocalSite and in Dreamweaver Site Definition
for MyLocalSite I provided the URL
http://C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyLocalSite/
and clicked Next>. Then I selected that I did want to use a
server technology and selected ColdFusion and clicked Next>.
Then I selected Edit and test locally (my testing server is on this
computer) and indicated C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyLocalSite\ as to where
on my computer I wanted to store my files and clicked Next>.
Then I
http://localhost/mylocalsite/
as the URL I would use to browse to the root of my site and clicked
Next>. At this point I received the following warning.
The Site URL prefix [/mylocalsite] for the testing server
does not match the site URL prefix
[/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyLocalSite] specified in HTTP Address for
the site. This may cause pages using site relative links to display
incorrectly at run time. Proceed anyway? So I clicked the Cancel
button the warning and clicked the Testing URL button on the
Testing Files tab of the Site Definition after which I received the
following message.
Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you entered to display live
data. Please double-check your site configuration or click on Help
for more information on how to correct this problem. (HTTP Error:
1209)
I’ve done all this and I am at a loss for how to
proceed from here. Any suggestions are most welcome!
Dave

Did you install ColdFusion Webserver?
Local Site: C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyLocalSite/
Testing Server: C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyLocalSite/
URL Prefix:
http://localhost/MyLocalSite
Ignore the warning.

Dreamweaver 8 - Test/Production Server Question and Working Remotely

Hello Everyone,
Right now I use Dreamweaver 8 at work with no problems. My
computer at work is also my test server. I do everything from that
one machine and then upload/put the files to our production server
once I know they are working correctly. So basically my work
computer/server is a mirror of our production server. My question
is this:
Right now I use either Remote Administrator (Radmin) or
Remote Desktop, when working from home, to connect to my work
computer/test server (same computer). This is kind of slow trying
to move around and edit/develop. Is it possible to use Dreamweaver
8 and WebDAV or RDS to allow me to edit/create the files directly
on my work machine from home and then when I PUT the file have it
go to my production server? So basically nothing changes about how
I do it except that I am doing it remotely. Right now it downloads
the files to my computer and when I PUT them it goes only to my
test server only. I like to it to save the files to my test server
and put the files to my production server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I am just not
setting it up correctly.

This can’t be done as RDS is about working with and
synchronising to your server.
You may be able to set up two sites (test server and live
server) with the same local root folder depending how you are set
up but at some point you will create synchronisation issues.
My solution is to separate the two processes, all work is
done to the test server. When changes are ready to go live they are
FTP’ed from the test server to the live server using a
separate FTP program and a snap shot of the site is taken and
backed up with the FTP log. Although it seems to be adding to the
workflow it does ensure live changes are conscious changes and
backup (role back ability) is maintained.

Dreamweaver & Wordpress?

I'm having trouble using Dreamweaver to edit the .php files for my Wordpress site at http://dontpanik.tv without losing a lot of the formatting from my custom theme.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

Dreamweaver, Wordpress Google Analytics

Hey, I'm using Dreamweaver and Wordpress for a site and have added the Google Analytics code to each page within wordpress, but my analytics aren't working properly. I'm getting some stats, but they don't seem to be correct. Should I be adding the code in Dreamweaver too? Any thoughts?

Using the WordPress plug-in is the correct way to add Google Analytics code to a WordPress site.
There aren't "pages" to add anything to, per se, with DW. Once the WP site is up and running, your pages are all created on the fly by pulling info from your database.
Unless you fully understand the ins and outs of PHP, opening WordPress include files and making changes in DW can be pretty daunting.

Dreamweaver WordPress Compatibility

I have a client that needs a website created that will have the usual web pages as well as an events/calendar page and an interactive blog with a comment posting section. They want it designed in word press because after it is complete they are going to train in word press so they can update the site themselves in the future. I only know dreamweaver and my question is this:
Can I create it in Dreamweaver then give them the files and have it be totally compatible with word press once they get it? In other words when (and if they can) pop the files into word press everything will work and look perfect and they will be able to sucessfully take it from there doing the updates themselves with word press? Or does it have to be created in word press from the start.
Thanks,
Paul W.

not taking anything away from word press, its a great blogging tool... but it's not really a cms. with that said, if you hack apart anything enough, you can make it cms like.
Can you "pop the files into word press everything will work and look perfect"... NO. word press is another one of those open source solutions that require you build the website around their solution, rather than add it to what you've already done. You will need to create and modify word press html/css files in code view to achieve the look/feel of the website, and download plugins to gain the functionality they will want... and using word press, your clients can fubar your design. are there people using word press successfully as a cms... yes... but it's not what it's designed to do.
I would encourage you to tell your clients to use something that can be added to an existing design, like incontext from adobe, or cushy cms, or similar. It's a css triggered cms which makes it incredibly easy to work with, and flexible as well. If you're a more advanced coder, you can also create your own cms... after all, it's just update server behaviors and database driven content... it's really that basic.

Dreamweaver adding local testing server MySQL-HELP REQUEST

I have a website on register.com and I am using MySQL for the
first time. My DB and table have been created using MyPHPAdmin. Now
I want to use my Dreamweaver to setup a testing server that will be
local and then upload asp pages after testing. Can Anyone PLEASE
assist with this. I have downloaded and installed MySQL 5 and
loaded the MySQL Driver for ODBC. I am not sure if I am doing this
correctly OR if anyone knows an easier way. In summary I simply
want to:
A : Be able to test MySQL tables using dreamweaver's testing
server then locally upload to my remote site that is hosted at
register.com.
THANKS in advance
Mark

Why not use PHPMyAdmin to build the database remotely and
then just use your
remote connection for testing?

New to Dreamweaver, Use dreamweaver to make a wordpress theme?

So im going to start this off by saying Im very new to all of this, web design and html language.
I am planning on setting up a blog/forum type website for a hobby of mine and decided I should start learning the ins and outs of the language first, of course.
I was going to use wordpress originally but I just didnt find it to have the level of customizability I needed but when it comes to dreamweaver i just dont have the expertise to do what i want. If i could combine these two then Id be set. So far in my 1 day of using dream weaver ive figured it out to the point where I have a fairly general layout of what i want the site to look like. Header, body, spacing etc.
Could I turn this into a wordpress theme? is that possible?
Then I could use this layout but wordpress would provide the rigorous blog set up necessities (handling posts and such) which I have no idea how to even get into.
Please forgive my ignorance, Im at the level where I can space my header create 3 working links and link them to other pages ive set up.
Thank you for any help/insight

There are lots of tutorials out there that teach you how to do this. But one that I'd highly recommend comes from Lynda.com (at a price) that is worth every penny.
Here it is: http://www.lynda.com/Dreamweaver-tutorials/Dreamweaver-WordPress-Building-Themes/89310-2.h tml
Good luck.

Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Slideshow problems

Hello,
First off, my name is Mike and I would really appreciate anything that you can do to help me.
I'm attempting to use Dreamweaver CS3's Flash Slideshow on a site that I'm building for a friend and I'm having troubles. I have two major issues:
1. I've uploaded my page to a test folder located on my own site.
http://www.mikebailey1979.com/NoahTest/Main.html
As you can see when you go to that page the Flash Slideshow is not appearing. I've attempted to figure this issue out as much as I can, but I'm not getting anywhere.
Using Dreamweaver to test I've deleted the AC script and it appears exactly like how it does now that it's live, so I believe that the problem lies in the Slideshow being able to find the script. What I don't understand is that the AC_RunActiveContent.js is in a folder titled '..Scripts' (which is located in the same 'NoahTest' folder as the 'Main.html')and there should be no problem with it sourcing the Script.
I'm perplexed as to why it's not reading the .js file.
2. When I preview the site in my Dreamweaver Preview it works fine, except for the fact that it looks like it's padding the size of the pictures.
I have all of the dimensions specific to the size of the slice in my site. The slideshow should be 924x668 to match the slice exactly, so that's what I told it to be in width and height. I've turned all borders to 0, frame thickness to 0, and I've even tried to add a command to change cell padding to 0, all with no effect. I've made a still screen capture for you to see my problem.
http://www.mikebailey1979.com/NoahTest/WhiteBorderProblem.jpg
I've left the Background White so you can see how it's not sizing the Slideshow correctly. So the White Border isn't really a border, but a sizing/spacing issue. I don't know what could be causing this.
If you could help me with one or both of these issues I would be so grateful. Thanks for your time.
Respectfully,
Mike

So, bemdesign, you're not seeing the white padding-like effect that I snapped a screen shot of? See here:
http://www.mikebailey1979.com/NoahTest/WhiteBorderProblem.jpg
I've tested the page 'Main.html' that I have live right now using Firefox, IE8, and Safari, and it's still doing this padding issue for me (if that's even what it's supposed to be called).
After a little research I found a post on another site where tons of people are having the same problem as me:
http://brianchau.wordpress.com/2007/07/17/where-is-the-flash-element-in-dreamweaver/
The very last post someone mentions that they fixed the issue that I'm experiencing by adding div tags specifying width and height. I've tried implementing this, but since I'm somewhat novice with coding still I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly. Adding the div tags in various places seems to have either no effect or it changes the w & h values of the entire page, both of which not being my intention.
Can anyone here who is more advanced at coding than me who can tell me the proper way to implement the div tags in my situation?
This is the code for my page:
<code>

Flash Buttons Not Working in DREAMWEAVER !!!!!!!!!!! :(

Ive made an animation in flash of curtians opening to a stage of dancers, who are all buttons.
When i put this animation into dreamweaver and test the web page the buttons do NOT work
PLEASE HELP ME !!

Most likely a site definition problem. Did you define a local site in DW BEFORE you created your web page? This critical first step is necessary for DW to properly manage your site.
If you don't already have web hosting (a commercial web server space), you need to sign-up for one. There are countless hosts and hosting plans available.
Use the log-in details provided by your web host to set-up your Remote Site connection in DW. See link below for details.

I Always end up at an error page when I test my design!

Greetings,
Ladies and gentle men of the forum, does any one knows how I could fix this problem that I am having with the IIS server.
When I enter http://localhost it will take me to the home page but when I open my web site, which I designed with Dreamweaver, and test the site to see how it will function I will end up at an error page showing message below the line.
I also created site and testing server. Does any know how I could correct this problem so I could work safely? I am also using SQL server for database. If there any one have any idea on what I should do please contact me.
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Please try the following:
If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Open the localhost home page, and then look for links to the information you want.

Isn't http://localhost your on premises server? I wonder if you've actually uploaded your site to the www.? A local host would be your build database and where you upload from, no? You should have a database on the internet at a secure server consisting of: Host; User ID; Password; Directory. Then, you upload to that server and then it's just a matter of accessing and testing the site via your URL. Otherwise, you can always test away by accessing the localhost database somewhere on your premises. This is how I see it. If you are getting that error message, it means the database has moved and Dream can't find it. Bummer, because when you do find it you will have to re-establish your links ( I think ).

Can't get my PHP test e-mail to work

Hi,
I am trying to set up a form for my website, I am going through http://www.mindpalette.com/scripts/index.php#NMAnchor to help me, I want a Thank's page sent back to the use with the form info sent to my e-mail. The above download instructions gives me a test PHP page (Have placed in my Local root folder and found on by browser) The test page asks me to type my e-mail address in and send. But I cant retreive the e-mail. I have upgraded my IP web pagage so It accepts scripting. But still no luck. Have also tired sending to other e-mail addresses. Tells me there may be a problems with my out going mail account. All my accounts run from Mac mail.
Not sure where to go from here.

Ok, so not sure is right, will explain what I have done.
Placed the php_mail_test.php in the same root folder as my holding page (which is still connected). Created a new site with the local root as same as my index.html holding page, remote info as same also.
And connected to my remote server.
But when I type www.denotestationery.com/php_mail_test.php in the browser URL it tells me its not found. Do I need to remove my holding page altogether and replace it with the php file? Or is it not found because I have to give it time to show up?
I have taken and attached a snap shot of my dreamweaver PHP test page with browser page behind to show you what's going on.
If you see in the files palette, the PHP page is not on the list. Only the index.html
I created a new site for the php under the name of e-mail.
Not sure what process form is. I have just designed my own form in Dreamweaver. Do I need process form?
If you type www.denotestationery.com/index.html into the browser you get your home page right?
If you type www.denotestationery.com/php_mail_test.php into the browser AND have uploaded the file to the same place as where the index.html file is it should appear in the browser, yes/no?
There is no need to create a new site or anything like that.
Have you actually established that php is running on the server yet by doing a page test?
processForm is the mail progam you downloaded from Mind Palette which you will use to configure the form you have created should you ever get past base camp
Hummm just could be 1-2-3 reg....not sure how they set their servers up

What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress?

I am a Designer and Developer/programmer. This is a complete workflow question: What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress? For example, is it:
PS/IL > DW > WP? (Photoshop or Illustrator, Dreamweaver, WordPress?)
Or is Edge Reflow inserted between PS and DW?
PS > ER > DW > WP?
Are these workflows iterative and, whats the word, recursive - we are able to go back and forth?
My understanding is that the Edge tools are not up to the coding standards of DW, and ER > DW (Edge Reflow to Dreamweaver) is not seamless or even practical.
Where does the Stack come in? MAMP (or LAMP/WAMP) of course, jQuery/jQuery UI, WordPress and other items; how integrated are these things?
I used to be a Flex developer and quite comfortable with the Design to Dynamic Deployment workflow of Illustrator or Photoshop to Flash Catalyst to Flash Builder; moreover, I thought the Eclipse IDE was excellent with its database introspection capabiliities, debugging etc. Adobe really pushed this workflow, then instead of innovating and standing behind its own product with 98% market penetration, Adobe disembowelled Flash right before everyones eyes.
What about Prototyping, which is certainly part of the process? Fireworks is on the kibosh. Illustrator, while excelling at some aspects falls short of making a functional prototype (unless you're tying in Acrobat to link the pages), and while Photoshop is Edge Reflows darling, Edge seems redundant with DW and spits out twacky code.
(Muse of course is unusable for professional developers, but it makes you wonder why some of those UI elements where not employed in DW whose interface seems antiquated by comparison).
It seems Adobe is bloody all over the place, more like a rabbing drunk with a microphone rather than the dependable go-to software company for creatives the world over.
In my opinion, workflow from beginning to end is important. Having a million different options to try to accomodate everyone is not. Some guidance in this department is greatly appreciated!
Best,
Dylan

I have not used Edge Reflow myself. Nor do I espically like WordPress. But my typical workflow is:
PS for Design Concept and web images.
DW for CSS, HTML & JavaScript.
3rd party editors like Zend Studio & Navicat for PHP & MySql development.
