Dw CS3 No Wysiwyg for php file

This is a general question, but I didn't see an answer in the FAQ. I don't use DW myself, but I'm doing work for a client that uses it because he can edit his pages in the WYSIWYG portion (he doesn't know anything about HTML or CSS coding).
He was able to somehow edit his php files in the WYSIWYG portion, even though the pages are PHP based with lots of includes and the code was really horrible. No doctype, all HTML table based and over 400 validation errors. I've rewritten one page using standards compliant XHTML/CSS and the page is much better, cleaner, and only two of the original include files which I have yet to convert. The problem is that he says when he loads it into DW, it won't display in the WYSIWYG editor anymore. He considers that a big problem since that's the only way he knows how to make changes to the layout.
So, my question is what kinds of things would cause DW to not be able to display the page visually anymore? I can't even believe that it was able to display the old page, but he made modifications to the old page tonight so he could show me what changes he was trying to do and it obviously worked.
Thanks for any ideas.

Having had to build sites for clients who are exactly the same (they also want to be able to edit pages themselves), I suspect that your problem comes from his original files which were table based and therefore the structure remained even if a css file is not present, or at least the path to it is not broken.
Do you know if he has opened the file ensuring the css file is still linked?

"Open With" CS3 not working for JPEG file

Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
Thanks,
Mark

After a long search I found the answer:
To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
Click the file Types Tab.
Wait for the list of file types to populate.
Single click on the jpeg file type.
Click the Advanced button.
Highlight open and click the edit button.
Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
A few OK's and you are done.
AND ANOTHER THING .........
After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
Start / My Computer
Click Tools at the top of the screen.
Click folder options .... then the file types tab
Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
A couple of OKs and you are done

URGENT: Dreamweaver CS3 crashes while uploading any PHP File

Hello,
My Dreamweaver CS3 crashes everytime I try to upload any PHP
file to the Web Server. It does upload the file but crashes and you
received a "Not Responding" error in the Windows title bar. I did
search alot on this issue until I found the ".
Dreamweaver
CS3 crashes after DST ends" problem. I deleted the cache file
as required but of NO HELP.
. It is very annoying to restart Dreamweaver
everytime you want to upload any PHP file to the Web Server after
editing it. It doesn't happen with any other types of files. Please
help me guys here or I will lose my mind.

Bad news for you too.
First, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums.
Secondly, Adobe does not support CS3 any longer because it hasn't been sold for years.
Therefore, you're left to the good will of fellow users who volunteer their time here free of charge, if one of them has a solution to your issue. No one is under any obligation to reply, so ask nicely.
One thing I can tell you is that you have not applied any of the versions available for Photoshop. Unfortunately, the Adobe auto updater was an unmitigated piece of cr@p in any version prior to CS6. Do not rely on it to assume you are up to date just because it doesn't show any updates available to you under Help > Updates.
You need to look for the downloads and apply them manually yourself.
I can't offer any more assistance because I don't do Windows. Sorry.

How do I compensate for only one ADDT ' tNG_config.inc.php file with many Registration pages to build?

My dynamic site has a lot of different languages funneled into one website, using various cookies, url params, php includes, etc. all to obtain similar info in different languages. Thank you David Powers.
It is working really well and now I’ve come to the Registration section. Okay, so registration isn’t all that hard; I could do most of it with the standard Dreamweaver set of tools. Alas, I really like much of what ADDT has to offer with welcome email messages and activation and such.
Here’s the setup: Obviously, with many different language people, I have many different databases for them. I did that becuase we’re expecting a big audience and I really don’t want to have all those different language names in the same table. Furthermore, these tables, whereby the students will login, will also contain a lot of information about their work so again, don’t want to have one massive table. I’ve divvied them up into tables by language and I’m using those tables to keep track of them and their work.
I want to use ADDT’s User Registration Wizard and I have looked at all the neat stuff in the Control Panel/Login Settings.
Here’s my situation: I notice that when I’m done with the configuring of one of the registration pages, I’m asked if I want to upload the tNG_config.inc.php page and that it has changed since the last upload. I saved a copy of the _config.inc.php and did a new registration form with the same info and when done, I compared the two _config.inc.php files. As one would guess, there is a small difference in the Connection string to the databases $tNG_login_config["connexction"] = "connString_Ital_db".
My problem is that I have 13 of these registration pages to do but ADDT only has the one tNG_config.inc.php. That’ll work great for the one with which it is associated, but the others will obviously break. I’ve looked through the code in the Registration pages, to find the ADDT link to the tNG_config.inc.php file hoping to rename it Italian, Spanish, etc, but the name of the file does not appear in the Registration page. I realize that ADDT Control panel is designed for use on one site, and can then be used on others, with the changes etc. But my site seems a little unique since so many sites are actually in one.
Has anyone whipped this problem before? I just don’t understand why there is no link in the head code of the Registration page to let me change it and to create more config files with different names. Thanks for you help!
[Moved by moderator to appropriate forum]

Hi Brian,
I just tried to check all of ADDT´s "includes" files for any internal references (read: "require" or "require_once" statements) to the file "tNG_config.inc.php". So far I can only see this file referenced in the file "tNG.inc.php" (within the "$KT_tNG_uploadFileList1" array).
So what could this mean ? Maybe you´ll have to make copies of the the original "tNG.inc.php" as well and save them as, say, "tNG.inc_ital.php" file plus make sure that these copies internally point to a different "tNG_config_ital.inc.php" file -- because it´s always the first mentioned file which gets referenced from e.g. an ADDT login page (see the "Load the tNG classes" - part)
I want to use ADDT’s User Registration Wizard and I have looked at all the neat stuff in the Control Panel/Login Settings
The Control Panel will always update the main "tNG_config.inc.php" file, so any further modifications will have to become manually applied to the custom files you´re creating.
Cheers,
Günter

404 error when hit submit from php file for requested path E:\vise\jqproject\web\errorpages\403_error.htm

I have a php script that when I hit submit, it submits the form to another php file with a get command. This worked about a month ago, but this month it's having issues. This is what the relevant code looks like in the table php file. Running
table.php shows the table in the browser and has 404 errors when I hit submit.
table.php:
    <body>
        <h1> Visual Evaluation Entry Table </h1>
        <form method="get" action="visEupload.php">
    <table id="bigTable" border="1">
        <thead>
         <tr>
           
         <th id="bandY" class="col3">Bands @263mm Y</th><th id="bandM" class="col3">Bands @263mm M</th><th id="bandC" class="col3">Bands
@263mm C</th><th id="bandK" class="col3">Bands @263mm K</th><th id="Comments" class="col3">Comments</th>
         </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <tr name="MCBands" id="9214">
                
                
                
                
                
                <td><input name="bandY" ></td> 
                <td><input name="bandM" ></td> 
                <td><input name="bandC" ></td> 
                <td><input name="bandK" ></td>
                <td><input name="comment" ></td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
      <input id="submit" type="submit" class="list" name="submit" value="Submit To Database" >
       
       </form>
    </body>
The server is mapped so when we run it off of the server, we use the server ip address and my file name and skip the rest of the path, which works fine with the table.php file, so that mapping appears correct. When I run it off of the server (from my
desk) and hit submit it gives me a 404 file or directory not found. When I run it locally on the server, it's saying it can't find the file name, but it says the requested url is `http://localhost:80/errorpages/403_error.html.` Physical path: E:\vise\jqproject\web\errorpages\403_error.html.
The error message says the notification is from the MapRequestHandler of Module IIS Web Core. I'm not sure why the requested url/path isn't referring to visEupload.php.
(Running on the server) When I change the action in the table.php get to include the IP address, it's behaving weirdly:
Module IIS Web Core Notification MapRequestHandler Handler PHP53_via_FastCGI, Requested URL `
    http://localhost:80/13.141.xxx.xx/visEupload.php?bandy=xx&bandM=xx&bandc=hj&bandk=xx&comment=xx&submit=submit+to+database
physical path shows as E:\visE\jqproject\web\13.141.xxx.xx\visEupload.php
Login Method and user Anonymous.
When I change the url to just be
    localhost/viseUpload.php
it's getting HTTP Error 404 not found. Any ideas why it's not finding the visEupload.php file? It has the correct .php extension. In file properties it's a type php file with name visEupload.php.
I took a look at
[404 error][1] but I see my "allowUnlisted="true" in applicationHost.config. I'm not using sitefinity, though.
I'm not sure if something got over-written when we did a server windows update.
I know we were having a problem with get and post a couple months ago and we had to add them to the IIS Manager Handler Mappings somewhere, but don't remember where we added them to check. Since I tried directly accessing the visEupload.php without any
get (and commented out get code in the file) it should have worked if that was the issue.
We are running server 2008 R2 and I'm not sure which version of IIS it is.
In case it matters, this is the contents of the visEupload.php:
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en" >
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Big Table</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php
        require_once( "../classes/class.OLAPdatabase.php");
        require_once( "../common/Session.php");
        $OLAPdb = new OLAPdatabase;
          handling of the get part is commented out
       ?>
    </body>
All I can think of is that when I access visEupload.php it's running from the get/action in table.php. This might be a different user running in the system. I tried changing visEupload.php file properties to have full control for IUSR and Internet
Guest Account. It already has full control for System, and me. Users have read & exeture and read permissions. Or maybe it's something that has to do with how the directory is mapped out. I'm not sure what could be affecting this, and
why the message said it can't find the path to 403_error.html.

Unable to edit php files in CS3

Hi,
I have users that need to edit content in php files in Contribute CS3, just editing text and adding images etc. Every time they try to edit a page they just get a grey screen with the words 'headerMenu', which happens to be the page title of a file that is included using the php include command. They cannot edit anything on the page. I have checked the admin options and they are allowed to edit scripts etc..
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks,
David

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,
Sara

Help - Loading Remote XML/PHP File On AIR For Android

Hi guys
Just a quick question here. I'm developing an android app which requires a small amount of text data to be retrieved via a remotely hosted on a web server.
It works fine on a desktop machine but when it comes to testing it on a cellphone it refuses to load the XML file.
The data file I'm using is a simple XML file for now, but eventually it will be replaced with a PHP file which generates XML.
I'm uisng Adobe Flash Pro CS6 and have set the target to AIR 3.4 for Android. The INTERNET setting on the android permissions has been checked.
The code is a simple URLLoader as follows:
============================
private var _appDataXML:XML;
private var _xmlLoader = new URLLoader();
_xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, _onXMLLoaded, false, 0, true);
_xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.example.com/data.xml"));
private function _onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void
_appDataXML = new XML(e.target.data);
_xmlLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, _onXMLLoaded);
============================
Is there any reason why this works on a desktop but fails to work when tested on a cellphone? Could I have missed something?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I did as you asked and looked at the internet permissions which by the
way was already checked.
I then managed to solve this issue in a very bizarre way. I originally wrote the app in Flash CS5.
I recently purchased a subscription to Flash CS6 and after recompiling under CS6 it still exhibited
the same behaviour. But when I unchecked and then rechecked the internet permissions the app
somehow fixed itself and is now working.
Not sure what's going on here but it all seems OK now. Thanks!

Two different file icons in different folders for my php files??

Hi,
I try to move a copy of my running website to my localhost. (MAMP+MacBook Pro)
I have problems getting to my local domain. Therefore I tried to install a clean Prestashop installation to see if that worked, which seems to work neatly.
Comparing the two website files, I noticed something strange (for me, anyway):
In the working prestashop root folder, my PHP files have a nice, black icon associated with them
In the non accessible prestashop root folder, my PHP files have a boring white filesheet like icon.
I re-associated ALL the PHP files with a text editor, but still the difference remains...
What's the cause of this?? Does this have to do with permissions or so, causing my problems with entering this local shop ??
Thanks,
Pascal

You can use Exportant's "Fast Cache" feature to save time when exporting the same file with different settings (a free plugin I wrote).
It's an export filter which saves a rendered copy of the file being exported in a cache, if not there already (or develop settings / metadata have changed), and pulls it from the cache when present (so Lr won't have to re-render), so it takes 1/2 the amount of time to export 2 copies, 1/3 the amount of time to export 3 copies etc.
Unfortunately, it's not compatible with all export/publish services, e.g. Export Manager & Turning Gate Publisher.
It *is* however compatible with a lot of them, like:
Adobe's Hard Drive export or publish service.
My TreeSyncPublisher (export or publish).
Jeffrey Friedl's Folder or Collection publishing service (publish only).
If you're interested in saving your time but not your computer's, then just use Export Manager (without export filters), or a publish service (well, one publish service for each format..) - Lr will re-render, but it's one click to go..
robcole.com - Exportant
Another option for speedy exporting of jpegs is PreviewExporter, which exports from the Lr lib preview cache - not appropriate for obtaining printable tiffs.

How do I change the .php file name for a page of my site?

how do I change the .php file name for a page of my site? The only link to the page is the nav. button link for it in the global nav. The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.

The reason I need to change the file name is we want the breadcrumbing name to change and the breadcrumbing is linked to the file name.
I don't understand this reason. How would changing the file extension solve your breadcrumb issue? Why don't you explain the issue in more detail.

[CS3 INX] Values for file type in LnkI attribute?

Anyone know here I can find the list of possible values?
I'm generating INX files with links and need to be able to generate the appropriate values based on the link targets.

Correct PPro CS3 Project Settings for Neoscene/Cineform 1080 60i .avi files?

I am looking for clarification on the correct Premiere CS3 project settings for AVCHD 1080 60i NTSC files converted with Neo Scene with the "maintain source frame format" option.
Should the PPro project settings for "Field" be upper or lower field first?
On a Cineform discussion board I was told all interlaced HD footage is upper field first.
However, I have found that a PPro project setting of upper field first results in much more sluggish playback than lower field first.
So seems there is additional processing needed with the upper field first project setting and this suggests to me that lower field first is the proper setting.
Any thoughts from NeoScene/Cineform users out there?
Thanks!
The project settings I have been using are:
Editing Mode: Desktop
Timebase: 29.97
Frame size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields: Lower Field First
Audio: 48000

...is not so good - bad colours. In Microsoft DV Avi-DV Pal compression. D1/DV PAL Wide is pixelate. I have click the de-interlace so it is not because of that. I have no problem to use encore it the file i send is compressed in those settings i mention before. I have no problems in compressing the file with those settings at all, like i have when i want to transfor the video in avi uncompressed.
Oaaa...i am going crazy here. I have had so many problems with this and if i end up working this documentary and not beeing able to export it i go mad!...this if i do not go there before because of this problems...

Can I upload a php file to my host with an embedded html contact form in Muse for it to work?

Can I upload a php file to my host with an embedded html contact form in Muse for it to work?

That would require to know your hosting provider and his requirements. And therein also lies the answer: You cannot blindly design a form in Muse and just hope it will work, you have to know this stuff beforehand and design "to spec".

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 for PHP - Is there a better option?

Most of my friends seem to use regular text editors for their php programming. I do not need to connect to a database with my coding. I just would like something that understands php functions and such, so that appropriate areas are highlighted.
Or so that php errors such as missing semicolons and such are easy to spot.
What would you recommend I switch to? Or is there not something that Adobe makes that is specifically for PHP?

While Dreamweaver CS4 didn´t add significant improvements for PHP developers in particular, the new version CS5 is indeed a huge step forward. Please have a look at the excellent review by David Powers: Dreamweaver CS5 is good news for PHP devs
My recommendation ? Well, if you consider Dreamweaver CS3 in general (not just talking about the PHP specific features) as overall helpful tool in many areas (e.g. CSS rendering, visual layout drafts etc), then CS5 will be an improvement in these areas as well and could be worth trying/buying. On the other hand: if you´re only interested in "whatever" development tool to give you advanced PHP support, the Eclipse - based Aptana plugin or the Netbeans PHP IDE are pretty fine tools as well.
Cheers,
Günter
