Help with an existing website

i created this site about 15 years ago. it has since been maintained by someone else, and now it's back in my lap. I used a different program to design it then and i'm heck'a rusty at the whole thing.
i need help with how to get access to the site. I have the host info and password, but i'm not seeing how to do that in Dreamweaver.

And if you are wondering where is Dreamweaver forum then here is the link:

Can I use Muse with an existing website?*

I have several existing websites. A couple have more than 40,000 files already. Can I use Muse with an existing website?

Printing_Services wrote:
Why exactly does Muse not support HTML import?
Muse and HTML generators like it only deal with HTML at the very end of production... at export. These generators have their own system (not based on HTML) of arranging text & graphics and structuring page relationships. These kinds of apps have never been able to import HTML. As the world moves to more dynamic web sites (database driven and server-side scripted), it becomes even more unlikely that an HTML generator will ever import HTML.

Help with Font on website

Hi Guys,
I'm having a little problem with a website, the soloution is probably really simple but cant for the life of me figure it out.
Welcome to 1st Winnington Scouts
Please choose your section below.
In my html the above is under the div tag "main" and the css for h1 is calibri font and it shows this in dreamweaver. Whenever I use live view, or preview in browser, or have it uploaded as it is now the font reverts back to times new roman and black in colour.
The link to the site is below.
http://winningtonscouts.hostei.com/
Any help with this would be grand

Sorry I meant to say Courier New, not Calibri
On the Style sheet there are
#main_image h1 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 36px;
    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
#main_image p {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #51327B;
    text-align: justify;
#main_image h2 {
    font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
    color: #51327B;
    font-size: 24px;
    font-weight: bold;

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

I require help with my first website

As you can see from many of my recent posts, I am new to web development, and I have decided that I am going to need some help.
This forum has been a huge help, and I will continue using it, but the reality of the situation is that progress is slow as I am learning as I go, each junction I reach and require help with is holding up progress, which wouldn't be a problem if I had more spare time, but I simply don't.
Is anybody willing to help me? It would be paid work so I would need to discuss how this would work with rates etc... here are some details:
The domain is already setup, and you can see the first page I have been working on here: http://www.elliotnewman.com/index/test7.html
The closet website I can find for your reference is: http://www.jaspaljandu.com/home/
My site will initially not be quite as established as Jaspal's, but in essence the functionality will be similar. The things I know of that I will need help on are:
Setting up the ordering and payment process when a customer wants to order a print, including automated email notifications, and check out forms ( this may also require membership fields or maybe through paypal)
Setting up the interactive framing graphics - ref - http://www.markgray.com.au/gallery/limited-edition-prints/forgotten-island.php
Potentially helping to setup a blog
Work with me on integration - and updates (ie build the all the templates needed so updates and new images can be posted by myself easily)
Automation of the counts of the limited editions
Setting up links to Facebook, twitter, linkedin etc
Reviewing and testing any code that I create
Along with these points I will also need standby help with the code I am directly working on, so file sharing may have to be setup. It is also worth noting that I will supply all the graphics and the design elements for every page, I will also be very specific with briefs as I know exactly what I want to achieve.
If anybody is interested please send me a private message, I would need to see some examples of your experience, details on your availability and your rate - whether thats per day, per hour and a rough estimate on how long you think the work will take.
Also, if anybody knows somebody outside this forum that you think could help me then please also forward this on.
Apologies if this is not the best place to post this.
Elliot.

Hi
In addition to Nancy s comments, reading the following line -
Along with these points I will also need standby help with the code I am
directly working on, so file sharing may have to be setup.
What you are basically after is a tutor, to guide you in what you are doing. In this respect it may be worth your while to read-up on designing web pages,as after a quick glance of the code, (from your previous post regarding the background image ) the main problem you are having is that you are not 'implementing' a consistent design/development procedure.
Try reading the following -

Need some quick help with redoing a website

Hi, I did my website done in iWeb in 2008, published it, and have it hosted by GoDaddy. I want to take it offline for now and design a new 'under construction' site, but there is a chance that I might want to still go back to the original version.
I see the current 'Domain' in Home Folder>Library>Application Support>iWeb.
Can I just redo my site (still working in pre-2008 iWeb), publish it, and if I need to, use the old 'Domain' to revert to my current website?
If yes, how do I do that....and, if 'no', what should I do?
Thanks!

Hi and thanks. To reply....
I published the website in iWeb and it is on my MobleMe. It was done in iWeb v 1.1.2, and I have not upgraded iLife on the computer that I designed the website on, as I feared losing some/all of it in an upgrade.
I do, however, pay GoDaddy for my corporate URL AND hosting....which I suspect is the forwarding and not 'hosting' per se....but on my Hosting account on GoDaddy it does say 'Shared Hosting'.
I do not want to 'overwrite' my current site just yet, as I am uncertain about the next one's content or the time to do it the way I envision it. What I want to do is SAVE my current site in case I want it back and, in the meantime, put up a page that says Under Construction. Can you help with that?
Much appreciated

Going mobile with an existing website

I created a website about two years ago for a client that they now want to be able to access it on an iPhone and an iPad. They claim they cannot see the website on either of those two devices. Since I have neither device, I have no idea what they are or are not seeing. (Site URL: www.fulcrumcwi.com)
My question is how do I make the existing website usable on those two devices. I've never done this before so I'm taking this as an opportunity to learn how to do this. Could someone recommend some resources to learn how to do this?
Thanks so much!

Now I'm curious, which mobile browser does target="_blank" not work on?
Weird. I've just tested it again in iPad 3, iPod touch, Android 2.2, and Android 3. It works in all of them.
When I tested in iPad 3 before, I tapped the second two links in the right sidebar several times, and nothing happened. That's why I looked at the source code to see why the links wouldn't work.
Obviously, I was wrong on that point. Nevertheless, I don't think using target="_blank" is a good idea on mobile devices. The iPod touch (which is basically an iPhone without the phone) makes the transition very clear, but it wasn't at all clear on my HTC Desire (Android 2.2). Fortunately, I was able to go back using the phone's back button.
Going back to the question of whether special treatment is needed for mobile devices, I would say that the site is OK on a tablet, but it's very difficult to use on a mobile phone. The user needs to rescale each page as it's loaded, and on some mobile devices, it's necessary to swipe constantly to the left and right to read everything. If I were the client, I would expect the layout to be optimized for small screens using the viewport <meta> tag and media queries.
My advice to the original poster would be to ask the client to say specifically what doesn't appear to be working correctly. Also take a look at my two-part tutorial on media queries: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing-media-queries.html. Just changing the layout for mobile phones would work wonders.

Href and target tags tutorial/help needed for use with an existing website

I have a website, (built through iweb), and an intro movie. I have spent a lot of time trying to understand the proper tags and how to use them without much luck. My goal is to have the homepage associated with my domain name load in a browser while at the same time have my intro movie open in a Quicktime Player window, play, and automatically close leaving the webpage visible. If anyone can point me to a tutorial or walk my through the process I would appreciate it.

Poster movie style. Requires QuickTime Pro:
Create an image (or a frame from your movie). This becomes the "poster". You could add text to it (Click to Play) in a graphic editor app to help your viewers or add text to the page under the image with these instructions.
Save this new file as poster.mov
It becomes the src="poster.mov" (source tag in the html code). Set its dimensions to fit your page layout.
Your "intro movie" will be your href="intro.mov" (href tag in the html code).
Open it with QuickTime Pro and then open the Movie Properties window. Click on the Presentation tab to see the choices. Automatically close option will close the QuickTime window. Automatically quit option will quit the running QuickTime Player app. This would be a better option as the browser should come back as the "front" application. You also want to check "auto play".
Use Save As (preserves fast start feature) and name this file intro.mov
In your html code for the QuickTime files you need to set target="quicktimeplayer" (this launches the QuickTime Player app instead of using the browser plug-in). It may also help if you use the full URL to both files in each tag (http://myserver.com/foldername/intro.mov).
One of mine as an example. It uses automatically close window:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/mycareerfuture/
View the source code to see the tag structure. My page uses javascript instead of the older object/embed tag code.

Help with building dynamic website using tutorial (was: I know this is a repost but I'm still stuck!)

Perhaps this was missed by the group but here goes:
I am slogging thru a dynamic PHP tutorial but I cant continue without losing some understanding of the process due to ?
I am trying to complete the following:
Building your first dynamic website – Part 2: Developing the back end
However,
my Insert record form dialog (below) looks like this, and I need to change both 'title' and 'blog_entry' values (as shown above), but I cannot make that choice in my form.
I am using DW CC with the Deprecated Server Behavior from DMX zone.
I have made sure my results match the tutorial, but I cant get past the above inconsistency in functionality.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks folks!

The Columns area indicates which form field is used to insert a value in each column. Although the post_id and updated columns are listed as getting no value, their values are generated automatically by the database.
Check that the title and blog_entry columns are being assigned the correct values. If either is marked as getting no value, it means that you have spelled the names of the form fields differently from the column names. Correct this by selecting the column name in the Columns area and selecting the form field's name from the Value pop-up menu.

Help with changing Flash Website!

Hi,
I have a Flash template:
And my design in Photoshop:
I want make my design in flash, so that i change the colors and everything without writing the script. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Here is the template:
http://jump.fm/INACQ
Thanks,
LTKort

This will have to be somewhat of a trial and error process for you if you have no training/experie nce using Flash. I doubt anyone is going to provide you with detailed lessons.
As far as changing the graphics goes, your best bet is to make a copy of the template and just start changing the graphics. Retain a copy of the original template at all times so that if you need to you can start all over again. If you run into a problem doing that, then post your specific problem.
As far as dealing with the code goes, whatever new objects you create to replace the existing ones will need to be the same types of objects (movieclips, buttons, etc) and will neded to have the same instance names assigned to them. Movieclip objects might have code insuide of them, in which case you will have to edit the movieclip itself such that you change its graphics while preserving its code.

Help with Modifying Existing code

Hi All
I have been sucessfully using a piece of code kindly provided by Jack Dahlgren some years ago. However I have a need to slightly modify it. I only want to add the previous Outline Level value (not all of the previous ones). I am struggling
with this one and need spome help. Here is the code:
Sub summaryname()
'This Macro will create the entire "Path" to a specific task by adding together the
'names of all the parent tasks. It is useful when 'you have many commonly named substasks
'and want to know where in the heirarchy they reside. As written, this places the "path" in the
'Text12 custom field. You could alternately put this into the task name field itself, however
'that may make the names rather long
'Copyright Jack Dahlgren, March 2002
Dim mystring As String
Dim mytask As Task
Dim myoutlinelevel As Integer
myoutlinelevel = 1
While myoutlinelevel < 10
For Each mytask In ActiveProject.Tasks
    If Not (mytask Is Nothing) Then
        If mytask.Text12 = "" Then
            If mytask.OutlineLevel = myoutlinelevel Then
                mytask.Text12 = mytask.OutlineParent.Text12 & " | " & mytask.Name
            End If
        End If
    End If
Next mytask
myoutlinelevel = myoutlinelevel + 1
Wend
MsgBox ("Customised Task List Names have been built for each task " & vbCrLf & "and are contained in Field Text12." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "This text field is used to build individual Task Reports for " & vbCrLf
& "workstream resources." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY.")
End Sub
Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi Jan
Thanks for your prompt response. The code from FAQ37 is what is used initially. However when I try and produce individual task lists nothing is output from Ass.Text5. My code is below:
For Each Res In ActiveProject.Resources
    If Res.Assignments.Count > 0 Then
        Row = 5
        XlApp.Workbooks.Open ("D:\Task List Templates\Task List Template.xlsm")
        BookNam = XlApp.ActiveWorkbook.Name
        Set s = XlApp.Workbooks(BookNam).Worksheets(1)
        For Each Ass In Res.Assignments
            Set xlRange = s.Range("A5")
            If Ass.PercentWorkComplete < 100 Then
                    With xlRange
                        rName = Ass.ResourceName
                        s.Range("A" & Row).Value = Ass.ResourceName
                        s.Range("B" & Row).Value = Ass.TaskUniqueID
                        s.Range("C" & Row).Value = Ass.Text5
                        s.Range("D" & Row).Value = Ass.TaskName
                        s.Range("E" & Row).Value = Ass.Start
                        s.Range("G" & Row).Value = Ass.Finish
                    End With
            End If
            Row = Row + 1
            Set xlRange = xlRange.Offset(Row, 0) 'Point to next row
        Next
        XlApp.Visible = True
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        If rName = "" Then
            GoTo NextOne
        End If
        XlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= _
            "D:\Task List Templates\Task Lists\" & rName & ".xlsm", FileFormat:= _
            xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled, CreateBackup:=False
        rName = ""
        XlApp.ActiveWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    End If
NextOne:
Next
However when I export to excel everything else I need gets exported perfectly but not the a.Text5 values. When I check the Task Usage view and add the Text5 column the value is there but only against the Resource name and not the task name. Hope
that makes sense.
Thanks

Help with Designing a Website Call to Action Background

Hi there,
This is my first post here, but I am having a bit of trouble designing a background call to action background for my website. My website is a common responsive 980px site but the problem is how I should go about designing a background that will properly adjust to the reponsive nature of the site.
If you want to have a look at what I mean here is my site, Galactic FX,
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Kieren Hovasapian.

Mazza,
Try this VI out. It returns a boolean instead of an integer, but this is really the same thing from what you are talking about.
You would use this VI as a subVI. It will pop up and allow user data entry. It passes the boolean out of it to see if the login was successful or not. You could also change things so that the password comparison (password in my case) is an input to the subVI as well.

Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
in response to Johannes666
Recommended
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Remove existing website content and replace with iweb 08 site

Hi
I have an existing website (not iweb) on personal domain name that needs complete overhaul - I want to replace it with an iweb 08 site using same personal domain name. I am new to the mac world having converted a few months ago - also don't know html code etc.
How do I remove the existing web content to make way for the iweb site using the same domain name - do I download folder using cyberduck and delete content from public_html folder - will this clear the way for new site to be published via iweb and .mac ??
Any help and guidance appreciated
Thanks

I think what you are asking might be better put this way:
"When published, will my current Domain name automatically go to the new site, and if not, what do I need to do to make it so?"
The answer is no, it won't. If Web City is also your Domain name registrar, then you will either have to transfer it for use with .Mac, or forward the Domain to the .Mac url.
I have not personally transferred any of my Domain names to .Mac, but I don't believe it is hard to do. You can go into System Preferences on your machine, click on the .Mac icon, navigate to "Account info/Personal Domain", and go from there.
There are many here who have already done this so I'm sure someone will chime in and lend a hand if you run into difficulties.
