Edit existing Site

Can I edit an existing website created with Dreamweaver using the free trial Dreamweaver.

What bregent said.
In order to connect to the existing website (set up a Remote Site Definition in DW) you will need to find the site FTP details (FTP host name, FTP username and FTP password).
If you cannot find them, you may need to contact the website host to get them re-issued.

Edit Existing Site With Dreamweaver

Im sure this question has been asked 100 times but how do I edit an existing site (published and on the web) with Dreamweaver CS5.5? I took over as webmaster last month at a company and would like to edit the companys website. How do I download the files off the web? I can do it with Contribute but not Dreamweaver.

Create a local site folder in DW. Site > Manage Sites > New.
Go to Advanced > Remote info and enter your log in-details (FTP, host URL, username, password).
Test connection to server.
Then GET files from server.

How to edit existing site in iDisk/web/site/iWeb ??

I have a site saved on my iDisk that I had previously deleted from the iWeb program on my laptop. Now I would like to go in and edit it and I cannot figure out how to get it back into my iWeb on my laptop. Any thoughts??

You cannot do this. If the site has been deleted from iWeb and you do not have a backup of the Domain file that exists at username/Library/Application Support/iWeb before you deleted the site, then you must restart from scratch.
You can use the old site to cut and paste content back into iWeb to create a new site.

Issues editing HTML on an existing site.

I am attempting to replace the existing content in a site's left panel with custom HTML.
I refined the HTML working with a new blank subsite and was able to use the "Edit HTML" option directly in the Left Panel without adding a Content Editor Web Part.
When I go to the existing site I am unable to get the "Edit HTML" option within the panel itself and when I add a Content Editor Web Part it completely breaks my formatting.
Is there any way to apply HTML directly to an existing site panel without using a web part?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to customize the quick launch of your SharePoint 2010 site.
For your issue, you can use the SharePoint web interface or SharePoint Designer 2010. You can have a look at the blog:

Editing existing web-sites

Hi,
Can iWeb edit web-sites that have been created with another application, and if so, how?
Thanks, Tristan

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response; I was afraid I was overlooking something simple. I did try dragging site folders and files onto the application, and iWeb did not "activate", consistent with what you wrote. ...Dang!
Cheers, Tristan
P.S.: Tom, I believe you did answer my question, but I'll wait a couple of days just in case somebody chimes in with an unexpected twist.

Can I load an existing site in iWeb?

I have a website that I put together with an old program I can't use in OS Leopard (wouldn't want to anyway). I want to start using iWeb to work on my web pages. Can I load the pages of my site into the iWeb program to edit? How do I do that? Thanks.

No, iWeb can't open, edit, or import an existing site.

How to open and edit my sites (made on my old computer) on my new Macbook?

Hi, I have bought a Macbook and I would like to edit my Sites which
I have done so far on my iMac G5. How should I do this?
And if I edit them later on my laptop will they automatically save on iMacG5?

this is very easy. you need to get the following file from your old computer:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites
you need to copy the domain file!, copy it to the same folder on your new computer (if the folder is not there then open iweb once, do something, save and close). replace the existing file on the macbook with your G5 domain file.
now open iweb up and your website is there! see here for a better description:

have fun editing!

I can't edit my site or even create a new one!

I created a website on this computer and it was published - somewhat successfully. The photo albums didn't upload. But, when I open iWeb, I can't edit the site. It doesn't even give me the option to create a new site. My software is up to date

Sorry so late responding. In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Can not open existing sites in iWeb 09

I can't open sites that I built in iWeb 09 after my hard drive has been reformatted, I can only open new.

if you were using time machine or any other backup system you should be able to recover a copy of the domain file.
All your iweb work is in the domain file, if that isn't frequently backed up, you lose your edited work. Your published site should still be fine but if you republish iWeb now it will overwrite your published site and it will be gone as well.
By default, the "domain" file is in your user/library/application support/iWeb folder.
You will have to start over if you want to make changes to your published site. If you have to redevelop your site, publish to a local folder until you get it the way you want it, because when you publish to your server it will overwrite your existing site. in the future keep your domain file frequently backed up and keep copies somewhere other than your hard drive.
Hopefully you were using time machine, if not I feel your pain.
Sincerely, David

How to apply CSS to Existing Site

Help! I am a Macromedia Dreamweaver user. I manage a few simple sites on a volunteer basis. I was recently forced by a new computer purchase to upgrade to CS4 for Vista compatibility.
I have never used Style Sheets. I've spent several hours this afternoon combing the web for instructions and found that most of the information assumes way more knowledge than I have, and the more basic articles seem to provide nice overviews of what CSS is and why one might want to use it, or possibly how to build a new site using CSS, but they have not answered my "how to" questions about my existing sites.
My two most pressing unanswered question are these:
1) I seem to have successfully created a new CSS rule by selecting a section of text in the document, setting the Property Inspector to CSS and then naming the rule and choosing a font style and size (although the new rule dialog box never appeared - I did it all in the Property Inspector). Do I have to go through the whole site and apply this rule individually to each section of body text? The existing document has all the text set by its specific features (e.g. Arial Bold 10), not using "heading 1" "heading 2" etc.
2) I do not use Dreamweaver to upload my finished documents. I use a site-managemet ftp page on my host server. Once I've created these CSS style rules, is there anyting that I need to upload besides my edited pages?
Thank you in advance for help.

If you are using the same font family, font size, colour, etc... you can use a separate style sheet and just use
body {font-size:14px; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif}
this will make all your site the same body style.
Do I have the book for you: CSS in easy steps by Mike McGrath isbn#1-84078-301-x
It's a really good beginner's book to CSS. And really easy to read! Was a huge help to me in my beginnings of CSS.
Also, www.lynda.com is a great resource.
Hope this helps!
You'll need to upload that extra css page with the rest of your site!

Edit Existing Swatch?

Hi. Yes, I did a search in Illustrator support for Edit Existing Swatch... But apparently that is far to eclectic an inquiry to bring up instructions on how to do so.
Can anyone tell me the steps to do so? (I do it ALL THE TIME in Flash, but Illustrator aparently likes for me to visit the support site.)
Sigh.

First, let me say thanks for the posts. I really appreciate it.
I'm getting a Swatch Options window when I double click (I was trying that already) but it's greyed out.
Normally, in flash all kinds of panels pop up. Like gradation panels (if appropriate) etc.
Here's the window. (I'm on a Mac.)

Import existing site to iweb?

I'm switching from pc to mac, and having some web publishing issues.
I've got a couple existing published websites that I'd like to import onto my mac and edit. I opened iweb to try it out, and I can't seem to simply open the existing site within iweb. Is that possible?
If that's not possible, can someone recommend an HTML editor? I use Dreamweaver on my PC, but don't want to shell out an additional $399 for the mac version.
thanks.

I use BBEdit for all of my web development. It is very good but is geared towards advanced users.

Importing existing site made in another app into iWeb

Hi,
Is it possible to import to iWeb a site created in RapidWeaver? Or, at somehow have any new iWeb site I do, and keep the work I did the in RW online.
I don't necessarily need to edit it, but I'd like to keep that RW site intact and available.
Also, Roddy, thanks for this link you put in another thread- I've got a lot to study:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_FAQ.html

No; iWeb cannot import existing sites. If you have the HTML and other files from RapidWeaver, store them on your hard disk, and then use iWeb to publish to a folder, posting those pages as desired.

Integrating CS pages in to existing site

Hi
I am working on an existing site, where we want to make available a couple of new pages that are been fed up from the content server. The documents in the cs are been translated correctly to html via the templates we define in Site Builder. However, the existing site has its on navigation, look and feel etc. I know site builder allows you to embed html round the translated page but i think this is to messsy particulartly because the nav and existing look and feel is complex.
As the cs returns the pages as a "distinct" web pages, i.e. they have their own <html> , <head>, <title> tags etc. First of all, is their any way of configuring the content server such that it does not return the translated document as a "distinct" page. Secondly, if the translated doc can only be returned as a "distinct" page, is their any best practise in terms of how to integrate the cs generated page with an existing site. We are not using frames, but I was thinking of using iframes.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It's been a some time since I played with content publisher, but I believe you can remove all that stuff by editing the layout template for the project.

Connecting PHP to an existing site in DW

How do I connect PHP to a existing site. I've been using MS Expressions for my PHP? I would like to use Dreamweaver CS5 to write PHP to an existing site. Dreamweaver had a message saying it could find the correct server.

Did you define your local testing server in DW?
Site > Manage Sites > Edit...
Screenshots below are for WAMP server on C drive:
Under Advanced tab:
Hit Save.
Final screen should look like this:
Finally, make sure your testing server is Online.
