Editing a pre-existing website

We had a website created for us and now I want to edit it
myself using Dreamweaver 8. All I can figure out is that I must
define it as a Dreamweaver site to use its automatic managing. But
how do I define it without creating a whole new website?

Eeek. Single malt scotch would be the fallback - Glen
Morangie? Tobermory?

Adding a single page to pre-existing website

I currently have a website running on Amazon S3 and want to add a page to the domain using Muse and do not want to replace the pre-existing website.
Example:
Current web address:
subsite.mywebsite.com
Desired address of Muse-created site:
subsite.mywebsite.com/musesite.html
subsite.mywebsite.com does not need to be modified in any way—my clients just need to be able to access musesite.html via a link using my brand's domain. Can this be accomplished using BusinessCatalyst provided hosting? If so, how can I accomplish this?

Hi Joseph,
You need to create the page in Muse and then export the html to a local folder on your computer and then upload the exported content on the root folder of your existing business catalyst site. You will not be able to use the web forms with this approach.
If you can host the site in a sub directory, then you can create the page in the Muse and then publish directly to a sub-directory on the root, this way you will be able to use the web forms.

How do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

how do you edit an existing website in iWeb?

An existing website as in: editing one which has not previously been uploaded via iWeb?
I don't think you can. With the wysiwyg editing of iWeb, you can create a whole new website, make a new subdomain site or even upload a few extra created pages.
Thing is iWeb will only upload or save what you are making in it, therefore you can upload a whole new website to a domain, or upload them manually with ftp-clients. That also means you can't import an exsisting, for example html, script and edit it.
So in short: for as far as I know, you can't import whole pages into iWeb and edit those, you can only create and upload them.
Or as in: editing one I've already made, and uploaded on the same Mac?
Then simple make the changes you want, and hit the "Publish" button in the far down-left corner of the window. It will then overwrite the site you currently have.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
http://www.barebones.com 's Textwrangler. Use http://www.anybrowser.org/ as a guide for good HTML composition.
If a web editor does not give you power to do full text editing and claims to be WYSIWYG, don't believe it. Chances are, it uses assumed standards of specific browsers, which are not fully http://www.w3.org/ compliant.

Cannot create new page nor website and worse cannot edit existing websites

When I click on File in the menu the only options that work are Setup Google AdSense and Page Setup...
All other options are grey and cannot be accessed. This means that I cannot edit my existing websites which is a major problem.
Any idea? Reinstalling iWeb did not help.

Edit existing website

Hi guys,
the last time I tried to add something to my website via the
created Dreamweaver files I managed to completely ruin my website
and had to start from scratch. So this time I'm asking first: How
do I edit my existing files? I specifically wish to add names to
the pages as I forgot to do that and they name show up without
'unnamed' (or something similar) on the Internet. What steps do I
need to take to edit the existing website?
Thank you very much!
;-)

> add names to the pages as I forgot to do that and they
> name show up without 'unnamed' (or something similar)
Do you mean "Untitled Document" ?
That's the title.
In dreamweaver, there is a text box in the center of the top
part of the
Design window.
If you haven't changed anything on the remote files outside
of dreamweaver-
Open dw. change to this "site"
in the files panel, open a file.
Insert a title. save the page
rinse/lather/repeat for other pages.
then do a Find in code for:
Untitled Document
to catch any left.
then upload the files.

How do I replace existing website with one created with muse and hosted by business catalyst

My client has a website / URL in use. I have designed a new website using adobe Muse that will replace their existing website, and I would like to use business catalyst to host the new site. What do I need to do to transfer the URL to business catalyst, and post the new site live?

Hi
You can use their BC login details and use them , which on publish the site will be under their account.
Please change the BC login from Edit > Preferences > Publish > Switch Accounts , for Mac it would Adobe Muse > Preferences

Transfer an existing Website to Adobe Muse

Hello friends!
I have a new question: It is possible, to transfer an existing website (with all the HTML and CSS documents with the help of the FTP server) to Adobe Muse? Or do I must create all the website again?
Thanks!

Hi Otis--
No, it's not possible, and yes, you'll need to recreate. I suppose the upside is that you should already have all of your assets ready, but I know it's more work, unfortunately. You can't pull in sites built outside of Muse into it, and you can't open up and edit Muse sites outside of Muse (easily, anyway).
Good luck!

How to use rapidweaver on an existing website?

Hello - I realize that this isn't iweb, but close enough. I have an existing website created by a friend(dreamweaver). All of the pages are embedded jpgs with links/anchors to the other pages or files. Is there a way in rapidweaver to update those pages. I have the original files created in photoshop so I can edit them there. I just need a way to take away the old page and replace it with the new.
I have access to my host and such. Many Thanks!!

It's not that you cannot post your question here, it's that we don't really have the answers.
In the other forum they will know what they are doing.
Good luck

Pre-built website businesses how to get into dreamweaver?

Hello,
I just purchased a monthly membership to a website that is selling "scripts". Pre-built website businesses that I am able to download and edit as i like. I also recently dowloaded dreamweaver and look forward to learning how to use it. I'm a novice with html, web design, etc and know dreamweaver is pretty "intense". I tried to get these files "php" and "css" into dreamweaver and I'm having difficulty. Is there some easy way this is done that I'm not able to find in my books and online material? thanks!

Hi
Unfortunately without knowing what the 'pre-built' sites contain it will be difficult to say if they can be used 'as is' in dreamweaver.
Many of these pre-built sites contain templates and include files, and depending upon the type of template used, you may require a plug-in to use them in dreamweaver, the good new is that most of the common template systems such as 'smarty', do have dreamweaver extensions available.
The first thing to do is set up a testing server with a server side scripting language as required by the pre-built site. If it is a php/MySQL site then see this article for setting up a testing server - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html, if it is asp then try this one - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_asp.html, should it be some other then please let me know.
Once you have your testing server of choice set-up, copy the files to a folder in the testing servers htdocs or www.root folder and define your site in the dreamweaver site definitions, to do this see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html, this article is for php but the steps required are the same.
Should your site use templates such a smarty, then a search of the web for smarty (replace this with your template name), dreamweaver extension, should find the dreamweaver extension you require, failing this try searching the dreamweaver extensions site at - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=productHome&exc=3&loc=en_us. There are also many tutorials and how-too's on the dreamweaver developers center pages at - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/?view=home, to help you get started with dreamweaver.

How do i open my pre existing iWeb created site in iWeb? (computer got wiped entirely without backup)

I have a pre exisiting website that i built with iweb about 2 years ago. Within the last month my computer got wiped entirely. I was unable to do a backup before this happened because it froze up in the middle of a software update. How do i open my site in iweb to continue editing it?? It is still online, is there a way to import it? Thank you!

Unfortunately, iWeb does not have an import feature. So, the website will need to be recreated. With, it being online you may be able to copy and paste your content from the site online to the one that you will be recreating in iWeb.

I need help opening an existing website

I am trying to open an existing website and edit it. When i click get I see a folder and when I open it in local view all I get is the graphics.

Sorry, no I'm not an Adobe employee, (there really aren't many here) I'm just a software user like you.
Look at your site settings...
1. Go to Site > Manage Sites and click the site you are trying to work with
2. Click Edit
3. Under Servers, click the Remote Server
4. Click Edit
5. Under Basic, you should have your FTP address (usually yoursitename.com for GoDaddy, it can sometimes be an IP address with other hosting companies), your username and password, then Root Directory
6. Under Root Directory, make sure you have one of the two /public_html/ or httpdocs/ (call GoDaddy to verify the type of server you are using so you get the right Root)
7. Test the connection
8. If it works, when you connect using the Expanded Files window (with the server on the left and local files on the right) you should see a list of files, including your index.html page, some GD files like formmailer.php and missing.html and all the rest of your current site files.
9 If you see that list, click Get and DW should prompt you with "Get entire site?"
10. Click yes and the entire site will download to your machine. From there open the file locally, edit and upload

Yes you can.
Install "Microsoft Web Matrix" on your Machine.
Then go to the portal>web apps and select the one you want to copy. Then click on WebMatrix in bottom right. Your WebMatrix will pop up. Click "Edit a Local Copy".
Thats the easy solution for creating a local copy and redeploying it.

[Solved] Dual UEFI Booting Arch against pre-existing Ubuntu install

Hi All,
I'm new to Arch Linux and have just managed to install it on my T530 Lenovo laptop along side a pre-existing Ubuntu installation.
However, although I did consult the dual boot posting and article here on the site beforehand, those articles seemed to be about installing Grub. Since I already have it up and working, I was nervous about deleting it and so potentially loosing my working Ubuntu installation.
I tried installing mounting my pre existing /boot/efi partition but the pre-existing vmlinuz-linux file (no doubt from my Ubuntu installation) prevented it from working. My solution was to create the boot folder on the same partition as my Arch installation.
I now have an installation that works (kind of) however, it appears each time I boot up, I have to edit the Grub entry for my Arch installation to update the UUID Grub points to to get it to load up Arch. I can't find where the actual file being loaded in Grub resides (the file that it appears generates this script, is itself built from a series of predefined variables).
I admit I am playing at the moment - I'm keen to get to grips with this distro and am up for considering all options including deleting and starting again to learn to get it set up correctly. My questions are:
How should I have done this so that my Arch linux distro was loaded via Grub called by the UEFI and had the same booting file structure as the already existing Ubuntu installation (using the BOOTLOADER partition and the /boot/efi folders on it)
How do I edit the Grub file for my Arch distro so it stays edited (no more retyping all the UUIDs each time I load it up
Is there a way to get to the installation I currently have to an the more ideal state
Details taken thanks to the bootrepair application are here:

Thanks and regards,
Simon

I don't think there are any Ubuntu kernel images on your EFI system partition (they are in /boot, not /boot/efi).
If you want Arch to boot in an EFI system you should mount /boot (rather than /boot/efi) to the EFI system partition.
To do this, copy the /boot folder over to /dev/sda1 and add it to your /etc/fstab (in Arch):
/dev/sda1 /boot vfat rw,relatime,discard,nodev,nosuid,noexec,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2
It's probably best to install & configure GRUB from Arch rather than Ubuntu because Arch mounts /boot to the ESP while all other distributions mount /boot/efi so the results may get confusing (ie, GRUB may create menu entries to boot Ubuntu with your Arch kernel and vice versa); also the Arch kernel image is booted read-write whereas most other kernel images are booted read-only.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#UEFI_systems
I find the os-prober script can fail sometimes so this is probably your problem here.
Personally, I use gummiboot to boot my Debian system by copying the kernel image & initial ramdisk to the EFI system partition using these commands in Debian (this would also work in Ubuntu):
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# cp /vmlinuz /initrd.img /mnt
Then I make a gummiboot menu entry; your Ubuntu entry would look like this:
title Ubuntu
linux /vmlinuz
initrd /initrd.img
options root=/dev/sda2 ro
Add any kernel parameters after "ro" and make an entry for Arch as well (you may also need to configure /boot/loader/loader.conf as per the ArchWiki page) & install gummiboot from Arch using:
# gummiboot install
You can then create a post-install script at /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-gummiboot in your Ubuntu system to copy over the kernel image & initrd to the ESP whenever the kernel is updated:
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
cp /vmlinuz /initrd.img /mnt/
umount -R /mnt
Make this executable:
# chmod +x /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-gummiboot
This method will only work if you have /boot mounted to the EFI system partition (as outlined in the Beginner's Guide).

Existing Website

My company has an existing website that was created in dreamweaver and updated in contribute. I have been asked to overhaul the website and I would like to use Adobe Muse. Can I transfer my hosting provider over to Adobe Muse? I know you cannot edit an existing website in Adobe Muse. In a perfect world I would like to start fresh on the website but continue to use the same website address.

Hi,
Yes you can use the same web site address. If you are hosting it at Bc you will have to re delegate the DNS, this is how you can do that, http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/000/bc_6.html or else you can export the HTML from Muse and upload on the server via ftp.
