Golive-movable type- dreamweaver???

I'm a long time GoLive user and although I have Dreamweaver installed I haven't actually built a site in it *yet*.
That's a preface- not the problem. Well not the most pressing and present problem.
The problem is a returning client who hired another designer who put everything into movable type. Now they've come back to me. Oh joy.
I have access to the ftp- I've downloaded the site (all 9800 items) and I'm trying to sort it out so that I can do a simple template and blog.
It's a mess.
I would appreciate any help- and if any of you out there have done this type of migration previously I would be *thrilled* to subcontract a portion of the work.
TIA
Ziska

Hi,
I can help you with this. I've been a user of MT since day 1. What version is the site built with? Ver 4x uses a templating system that's rather arduous to figure out at first, but it's a great system. The 3x version is much easier to work with.
If you still need help, let me know.

Can no longer toggle to enlarge Twitter embed box; can no longer select category on Movable Type; works for other browsers.

I can no longer enlarge the Twitter embed box or even select and scroll in order to copy and paste all the code. Also, in Movable Type I can no longer select the category for our entries. So "boxes" aren't working. They do work in Safari, so it looks like a browser issue. I'm on Firefox 16.0.1 and Mac OS X 10.7.5. Problem just started on October 12.

You may have a problem with the "can't delete" or it may have been an isolated out of synch condition.
I have noticed that the "express" watch/delete process only works when you watch from oldest to newest.
also,there is that ridiculous extra step where it alerts you that there are no more episodes left. How about replacing that with an episode counter that tells how many are left when given the choice to watch more.
After the last one, just move on like it works for everything else. Whoever had the idea to add the "no more" message must have done it intending to iritate cusrtomers. That is the only possible reason for it.

Migrating GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver 8

Am looking for some resources with tips on migration of sites
from GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver. E.g. conversion of site tips,
template conversion etc.
Found a Dreamweaver Technote:
How
to convert an existing site into a Dreamweaver site
... am thinking it might be best to redo the entire site? Has
anyone gone through site conversions from GoLive?

No such company name as MicroSoft.

Are you sure you would get an .ste file at the end of this
process? Or
would you just get a DW site?

Does GL use .lbi files?

How to install Movable Type?

I want to move a Movable Type installation from a Linux server to OS X Server (Mountain Lion, Server 2.1.1). However, it appears that the standard httpd.conf file is not to be touched, and the preferred method is to make changes to some subordinate file. Has anyone installed Movable Type on Mountain Lion server, and if so, how and where did you enter the settings to allow the cgi and php to function proeprly?
Thanks in advance for any information.

Hi
the configuration template is only visible, if the usage type "DI" is active for the system. Note 1142136 explains how to activate usage types manually. Should work for 7.10/7.11, too.
Regards
Michael

GoLive Actions to Dreamweaver Behaviors

GoLive Actions developed by actionscafé are now being
ported over to Dreamweaver Behaviors.
If you're an ex GoLive user and are holding back switching
some of your site(s) over to DW because you can't find replacement
Behaviors for actionscafé software, contact
[email protected] Priority in porting Actions over will be
given to user's needs.
Several of the most popular Actions have already been
converted. Check
http://www.actionscafe.com/info-Behaviors.html
to see what's available now.

I think (I haven't read his PDF) that what he is talking
about is a library,
much like Prototype or J-Query where you insert a link to the
.js file in
your document and the use the functions that are in the
script to set
certain behaviors on your page. Dreamweaver will have
something similar in
CS4. This type of functionality is good for people who don't
know how to
write advanced scripts but want to feel like they are ;-)

Can I edit open a GoLive site in Dreamweaver?

I have a site that I put together for a charity..I have done it for a few years and the content, images etc don't change too often.
Every month or so there needs to be an update to timetable and information. At the moment I do this with GoLive which is
the programne I built it with. Can I open this site in Dreamweaver and continue editing it as before. Or do I have to re-build the
whole site? I' m using OSX 10.5.6 does anyone know how long GoLive will keep working in OSX ? Thanks Giff

Thanks Nina that is reassuring to know...but you ask why would I want to...
that was the second part of my question...I did read that Adobe said that it was
discontinuing support for GoLive and on each OSX upgrade I think it may suddenly
refuse to work....Thanks for the response Giff

HELP!!!! GoLive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS4

I've been using Go Live for sometime I've just purchased a new computer and upgraded all of my softwarre. Go Live won't work on the new computer so I'm having to work out how to use Dreamweaver which is a pain! As a priority I'd like to convert all sites I've produced in GoLive to Dreamweaver. So far I'm not having much luck, possibly due to the unfamiliarity with Dreamweaver. Can someone give me a dummys guide to converting the Go Live sites over to Dreamweaver.
Thanks
Mark

MAB34,
GLCS2 has been running fine on 10.6.7 for me on a 27" iMac (2010) so I would think it should work for you.
It won't work on Lion of course but since your post was before Lion was released this obviously isn't your problem.

Creating a GoLive "Component" in DreamWeaver

I'm migrating to DreamWeaver and can't find an equivalent of my GoLive "Component" that lets me keep a global copy of a menu bar that is common to several pages and only needs to be updated once. Surely there is such a feature somewhere?

actionscafe wrote:
I tried Library items and Templates as well.
Library items worked if I included all the menu style objects in a CSS and linked every page to it, including the Library item itself. I did this so I could see the menu properly in the Library item page. The problem was, how to add or delete anything to the menu. Updating the CSS and the Library item made menu changes far too cumbersome to be useful.
I decided that Templates might be a better way to go, because the Behaviors I used to control the pop-up menus could be linked in Templates. However my converted GoLive pages were not designed with editable regions which the Templates need, so my old pages didn't mesh properly with my new menu Template. I finally decided to give up the whole thing. Someone mentioned using SSIs for the menu. I'll look into it for sure, but it sounds like I need to redesign a few things.
The GL2DW export Extension was clearly designed to kludge GoLive pages so they would at least work in the Dreamweaver environment. Unfortunately some features in GoLive have no counterpart in Dreamweaver making the conversion a make-do at best.
walt
Walt, I can really appreciate what you're going through. I tried SSI's as well but found that Library Items seemed better for me. The point about updating Library Items is to simply double click on the library item in DW and update from there. You probably know this I'm sure, based on what you have explained so far.
This is one of the reasons I maintain most of my sites in GoLive. Even if I design them in DW or use DW extensions such as PVII, I create a component with these items in GoLive so that they are easier to update. When I upload the updates I have GL set to flatten the GoLive component scripts so that the pages will still validate.

GoLive conversion to Dreamweaver

I have an existing site that was created in GoLive. How do I move this site and all its assets to Dreamweaver?

Define a site in DW that points into the local root folder for the site. Edit away, and away, and away....

Golive 7 to Dreamweaver

Following tutorial to migrate GoLive to Dreamweaver. Followed
installing the GL2DW but when running a note appears saying that
GL2DW only works with GoLive8. Any way to migrate from GoLive7
without rebuilding site?
Thanks.

You might get better support for this issue on the

Adobe locks out "paid" GoLive users - is Dreamweaver next?

Adobe GoLive 9 has worked fine for me until this last week. Sometime in the last few days Adobe shut off the license server and now GoLive 9 doesn't work. They offered me a link for a much older version (CS2), but said they couldn't supply the newer version (it was too old). I can not believe the arrogant attitude of this company. I've been loyal to Adobe for 25 years and have bought almost all of their products - until they came out with their "rental" program. Any others that still use GoLive, or is it just me?

I don't want to address the issue of whether or not Adobe should or should not still be supporting a program that was killed long ago. Obviously if GoLive has still been serving your needs, then it's understandable that you are upset to have the rug pulled out from under you.
Many of us here were once GoLive users. Personally, I was thrilled when Adobe purchased DreamWeaver and stopped offering GoLive. It was not easy switching from the GoLive environment to the DreamWeaver environment, but it made sense to me so the effort was worth it.
Technologies, methods, and design practices change on the internet rapidly, as you know. I think you should take this as an opportunity to stay abreast with trends and migrate to a more contemporary toolset. Your web presence will be better for it.

Upgrade from GoLive Cs2 to Dreamweaver

Can I upgrade from Golive CS2 to DW CS3 using DW SC3 upgrade
package or do I have to buy the full blown DW CS3 software?

I believe you need to buy the full version from what I am
seeing on the website. However, in this case I would recommend
contacting the Adobe sales team as their may be unadvertised
promotions for switching from GL to DW.

GoLive CS2 to DreamWeaver CS3

Running OS 10.4.9
I am so angry. When did Adobe get like MicroSoft?
I got the extension to convert GL to DW. It stalls right near
the end, and tells me, on two separate warning boxes, that an
".ibi" file cannot be copied. The process locks up GL for a few
minutes, each time, and then it progresses to the end of the
export. All the files seem to be there, except my old Templates,
and such. But the ".ste" file does not show up.
1. What's the cure?
2. Is there another way to import the site?
Thanks so much.
Note: I am running the Trial, until I can determine that I
can make the transition). Adobe says that the extension is not
available to the public (I Googled for it) and so gives me the run
around, and a lot of blather about policy. Is this extension
dedicated to a licensed version?
