Golive 6.0 to Dreamweaver CS3 or CS4

About a year ago I called customer service and asked if I upgraded Golive 6.0 to CS3 the migration kit would work, I actually still have the chat record with customer service where I specifically asked them if I could migrate. I was told yes so my company purchased Dreamweaver CS3. Of course when I tried the gl2dw migration, it didn't work and I opened a support ticket and went back and forth with support for weeks trying resolve the issue. I asked for a trial of golive 9 or cs2 so I could upgrade and they sent me invalid links. Finally after a few weeks I was just basically told too bad we can't help you, offered me a refund if I hadn't installed the software which of course I had. So I have had cs3 for over a year and haven't ever used it. Now I see CS4 is out and it says that you can migrate from golive 6.0. Is that really true? Have they ever fixed it so you can upgrade 6.0 to CS3? I can't even get the upgrade version for CS4 because I used my upgrade on CS3. I have a company website with over 500 web pages I need to convert. I really need to upgrade to DW and soon. My company buys thousands of dollars of software and licenses from adobe every year, we are a non profit agency and I can't keep spending money on things that don't work! This is extremely frustrating. HELP!

Making changes site wide can be accomplished 2 ways but in reality unless you are using a dynamic site that draws its page designs from a central template page.
In retrospect you may want to consider creating a Library item first for anything you may want to change site wide (The first way). Being that you are not there yet you will probably want to use the Edit > Find and Replace from the menu bar (The second way).
Simply open up the file you have changed and another you have not. Next (assuming the option is not right in front of you) on the menu bar: View > Code and Design, making sure you can see both code and Design in both files. Then from the menu bar: Edit > Find and Replace. Copy the code regarding the object that you want to change making sure that you copy any opening and closing tags if appropriate from the unchanged file then paste in into the FIND box. Do the same with the file that you have changed except you will paste that into the REPLACE box also making sure that you have copied the same area.
Make sure Find and Replace Settings are:
Find in: Entire current local site
Search: Source code
Then press the Replace All button.

Dreamweaver CS3 instead CS4 for optimization on older hardware . . .

Dreamweaver CS3 instead CS4 for optimization on older hardware . . .
I do design for print and every year more and more customers have asked me if I would design their web site after I have designed their brochures and other collateral. For the last nine years I have never found the time to learn web production. I purchased Adobe PageMill and then upgraded to Adobe GoLive 5 but I have never found the time to learn these programs. But lately, requests for web design have persisted. I downloaded the trial version of Dreamweaver CS4 but it is too slow on my 1.25 GHz MDD Dual G4, running Mac OS 10.4.11.
So I purchased the Dreamweaver CS3 upgrade, which was still available from Officemax.com. I also purchased "Dreamweaver CS3: The Missing Manual" by David McFarland. I'll be going through the tutorials on weekends trying to become functional with Dreamweaver.
I'll be using it in WYSIWYG mode and not as a HTML coder.

I would have been happy to make DWCS4 my first step up to Dreamweaver but with it not officially supported on G4 Macs and all the menus at the top running way too slow, I needed to stick with what is officially supported for the G4 by Adobe, Dreamweaver CS3.
It is possible that future updates of DWCS4 will be more optimized and do OK on my G4. It is also possible that running my outdated version of Font Reserve 3.1.4, under Mac OS 10.4.11, is slowing down the menus on DWCS4 on my machine even Acrobat 7 Pro gives me slow menus with my current set up.
InDesign CS3 is fast enough on my system and IDCS4 runs just as fast as IDCS3 on my Dual MDD G4.
I don't think I will be getting an Intel-Mac desktop and laptop until 18 months from now.

Flash Web Gallery edited in DreamWeaver CS3 or CS4

I use Lightroom 2.6 to create Flash Galleries. I'd like to add a link to the template in Dreamweaver CS3 or Trial CS4. However, the following message keeps appearing:
Sorry, this photo gallery requires that scripting be enabled on your web browser and that the Adobe Flash Player be installed. Down
load the Adobe Flash Player
I have checked to verify the Flash Player is installed and working properly. I have doubled check to make sure scripts are allowed in my browser...Mozilla. I also installed, uninstalled and installed Flash Player several times.
The index page is html so what am I missing?
Grace_h

Hi
It's probably due to the way you have 'linked' to your images in lightroom not being relative to the images address in your dreamweaver page.
Place your images in a folder within your dreamweaver site and create your lightroom page in the same folder.

Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4

Can someone tell me how to keep all of my spry settings that
I have created in my web sites using Dreamweaver CS3 and now that I
am upgrading to CS4?
I don't want to have to go into my sites and have to make all
of those corrections since there are a lot of sites that I would
have to make changes too.
Thanks.

Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 Changes

Changes in Dreamwever CS3 to CS4
Creating a text box over a photo.
I have been using a technique in CS3 learned from
"totaltraining.com"
I could take a photo into photoshop and slice it into areas
where I want to create a text block and use the photoshop save to
web application to write the html code and create the images. then
I open the html file in Dreamweaver CS3 and select the sliced block
image that I want to add text on top of and copy the link
information, Then Delete the image and add the hight measurement to
keep the space from shifting then paste the link information into
the box background in the control pallet at the bottom. Then insert
text on top of the background image. This gives me the ability to
use the page properties to add a over all background color or image
and still have a text box with the photo behind it.
The problem is that with new Dreamweaver CS4 I can not find
where to paste the link information. The control pallet has changed
and I can not find out how to add the image back into the cell as a
background. I have tried to just place the image into the cell but
everything shifts.
I know their is probably a better way to do this I am just
learning and trying to figure this out so any advice would be
helpful.
I would just use Dreamweaver3 but the demo I was working on
expired and I bought the CS4 package.
I have a website 80% finished and now I'm stuck.
Thanks, Curtis

Things that you 'used to be able to do but cannot in CS4' are
generally
things that you should never have done in the first place. A
big thrust of
CS4 is to remove things from DW that created invalid or
non-best practice
HTML. This method certainly sounds like a good candidate -
for example:
> use the photoshop save to web application to write the
> html code
This is a very bad idea. Such code is fragile beyond
expectation. One
should only use a graphics app to write HTML that is to be
used for
prototyping, not for production.
> Then Delete the image and add the hight measurement to
> keep the space from shifting
This is a very bad idea. Placing text into a region that is
vertically
constrained is like placing a timebomb in your code. What
happens with the
visitor makes the text larger to read more comfortably?
Blammo....
> Then insert text on top of the background image.
Bad idea for the same reason.
> The problem is that with new Dreamweaver CS4 I can not

There are now two buttons on the Property inspector: HTML and
CSS. Click
the HTML one.
> I have tried to just place the image into the cell but
everything shifts.
Which is why you should never use "wizard" HTML.

Really? OK - just put DW down and go here -
http://www.w3schools.com - to
learn HTML and CSS. When you can understand this -
http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
then you will be ready to come back to DW. Trying to use DW
without a fair
understanding of HTML and CSS is like being beat with a
broomstick!

Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS4

Does anyone know if Fireworks CS4 would work with Dreamweaver
CS3? I already have Dreamweaver CS3, and don't want to spend extra
money to upgrade if I don't have to, but I can't seem to find
Fireworks CS3 available anywhere.
Thank you!

When you say :if Fireworks CS4 would work with Dreamweaver
CS3?"
Can you be a little more specific.

Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4 differences

So I'm talking about the properties window, the one you'd get
on the bottom of your screen abutting to the left edge of your
screen. In CS3 the HTML and CSS properties could all be viewed at
the same time. Now, in CS4, I have to choose between the HTML or
CSS properties. What drives me even more nuts, is for example say I
click on some text in the design view, and the text is formatted
with H1 tags. In CS3 I could click the center button and it would
automatically add align="center" to the H1 tag. Now, it seems like
it wants to modify a css property of the parent div of the given
element, in this case it would be an H1 tag. And in my case, the
parent element is in a locked part of a template, and I don't want
to modify that. All I want is an easy way to add align="center" to
the H1 tag only. This goes the same, say for something that I want
bolded. In CS3, I just highlight my text in design view, high the B
bold button, and it adds <strong> tags around the text. Now,
it wants to modify a CSS element. How do I change it back to how it
did it in CS3?

> All I want is an easy way to add align="center" to

Can I work with html5 in Dreamweaver CS3?

I'd like to work with html5 and stay with my CS3 application....I got to a page on my search, an old page, but never the less -- Adobe Releases HTML5 Pack also for older Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4 --Get your HTML5 Pack also on Dreamweaver CS3 and CS5--
The link takes me to the Adobe add-on page, doesn't seem to be there and searching doesn't bring up anything? Is this still available...
Thanks

thanks Nancy.
working in code works if that's the answer....didn't know if that would work....and i understand that the design view may not know what i'm saying...
...but.....http://www.dmxzone.com/go/17740/adobe-releases-html5-pack-also-for-older-dreamweaver-cs3-a nd-cs4/ this release came out for 5 back in 2010ish and suggested Adobe had content for 3 and 4 as well....

Dreamweaver ne se ferme plus "Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 ne répond pas"

Bonjour,
plus moyen de fermer normalement Dreamweaver CS3 depuis quelques mois. j'ai changé de PC il y a quelques temps (j'ai un HP Quad Core + Vista Familial, rien de révolutionnaire...) mais je ne suis pas sûr que ce soit au même moment ? Il se passe tant de choses sur un PC ...
Il me faut utiliser CTRL+ALT+SUPPR chaque fois c'est assez désagréable, que la fermeture ait lieu par le menu "fichier" ou par la croix de la barre des titres.
j'ai tenté une réinstall, une suppression du fichier "WinFileCache-xx.dat", rien ne change.
Est ce qqu'un a eu le même soucis ? A une piste ?
Merci !
ci-jointe une capture du problème...

Je vois souvent le meme chose, mais sur le MAC.Essayez le suivant:
The problem is probably ftp timeout.
On the files window, click the "show" button. (je ne sais pas ce que c'est en francais)
The Site configuration dialogue should appear
Click OK
Dreamweaver will login to the site again (assuming the ftp timed out) and refresh the cache
Now close dreamweaver. It will close normally.
The same applies if you try and save changes and it times out. If it starts timing out, click "cancel" and then do the above steps.
This behavior is in both Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4.

Dreamweaver CS3 instead of CS4

I do design for print and every year more and more customers
have asked me if I would design their web site after I have
designed their brochures and other collateral. For the last nine
years I have never found the time to learn web production. I
purchased Adobe PageMill and then upgraded to Adobe GoLive 5 but I
have never found the time to learn these programs. But lately,
requests for web design have persisted. I downloaded the trial
version of Dreamweaver CS4 but it is too slow on my 1.25 GHz MDD
Dual G4, running Mac OS 10.4.11.
So I purchased the Dreamweaver CS3 upgrade, which was still
available from Officemax.com. I also purchased "Dreamweaver CS3:
The Missing Manual" by David McFarland. I'll be going through the
tutorials on weekends trying to become functional with Dreamweaver.
I'll be using it in WYSIWYG mode and not as a HTML
coder.

Like kiusau, I'm wondering what your question is. But let me
make this
suggestion. If you have no intention to learn HTML and CSS,
then you will
be doing your clients a disservice by charging them for a
website built
using a WYSIWYG approach. Have you considered partnering with
a competent
web developer to provide this service to your customers? This
could be a
win-win arrangement for all three of you.

Dreamweaver CS3 vc Golive

Another question:
I used to make my images with changing text-same background
in Image Ready. In Golive I could use the same file from Image
Ready and than just change the text. If I change the Image Ready
file like another background or fontsize all the files linked to
this one changes. Very easy.
Is this possible in Dreamweaver CS3?

Well, sure.

Dreamweaver CS3 installation asking for Photoshop CS4 disc

I am trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 from the original install disc and a progress bar gets about 1/2 way through the installation process and I'm asked to insert the Photoshop CS4 install disc.
The Dreamweaver installation is not an upgrade. It is an original install.
I am on a Mac, OS 10.6
This is weird.
Does anyone have a solution?

Run this, the re-install. Ignore the name of the file. They condensed everything into one package for CS3-CS5 instead of separate packages for each:

Contribute CS4 with Dreamweaver CS3

I have a number of sites created with Dreamweaver CS3, and
intend to provide update access with Contribute - but Contribute
CS3 is now hard to get hold of. Will these sites work with
Contribute CS4 if developed with DW CS3: general functions such as
editable sections, checkin/checkout. I don't want to upgrade my
systems yet to CS4.
CS4 suite has much higher system requirement than CS3 - which
probably means a hardware upgrade first - so want to avoid this.
Can't find any info on this anywhere.
Thanks

I just read on the adobe website that:
"Contribute CS4 works with Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4
templates"
Does that mean it wont work with Dreamweaver CS3 templates?

Fireworks CS4 compatible with Dreamweaver CS3

Is there any issues with developing pop ups in Fireworks CS4
and importing into Dreamweaver CS3? Thanks

> I have no programming (HTML) experience
DW will be a very tough learning curve for you in this case.
Are you sure
it's the right choice?
> I was reading where DW CS3 doesn't do popups.
Where? Surely you are misinterpreting that - it has Spry
menus built in,
but a much better choice even than those exists.
Check the uberlink and MacFly tutorials at PVII -
http://www.projectseven.com/
and the Navbar tutorial/articles at Thierry's place

I use DWCS4 and FWsCS3 and haven't had any problems.
I do have the latest version of FWs, however, find it a real
resource hog and found that I had to
restart this version more times during the day than I ever
did with FWs CS3. So now I use the older
version rather than the latest.
I can run FWs CS3 for 2+ days straight without having any
"low memory" errors, but the latest
version will stop responding after a few hours. Apparently
Adobe is looking into this, but when a
fix will be found is unknown.
I don't believe you'll have any problems combining versions.

The lastest DW is better than the last, as most new releases
are, but it's really up to you whether
you see the value in updating. Have a look at the Adobe site
and check out the new features and
then decide whether the upgrade is worth it for you :-)
