Hi,,,im a newbie so be gentle with me...lol

hi,,, im a newbie,,,be gentle with me...lol

okay.. welcome to the forum
this is a good example of why ....
a) the forum should be a place where posters of questions and problems are answered by " paid " adobe employees...
Not necessarily with the understanding that the solutions or answers by the paid employees of adobe in the forum will be definitive and absolute, but that every effort is made to help the poster. It ( the forum ) would rise up from the level of " users helping users " to " users being helped by those who have passed the certification requirements to represent " forum " helpers... employed by adobe.
That changes the whole social and technical aspect of the ' users helping users' forum as we now know it...
why ?
Because , those who post on the forum must have a serial number and version number of their software BEFORE they can post a question in the forums. That information ( version number and serial number ) gives the forum the info they need to focus on the problem posted.
If the poster ( with serial number and version number a requisite of posting ) asks 3 really stupid questions or makes some really stupid post they automatically lose their ability to post any more on the forum. Then ( after they lose that right , they have to call the telephone numbers where people ask them questions to support them via India and so on ).
Meantime, those idiots who spend their time 'helping others ' for nothing over the years finally get a break and make about $ 2. 00 per hour aggravate for the time and skill and talent and intelligence they contribute to the " forums".. as proved by their MVP status etc.
how cool is THAT idea ? it becomes " users helping users " but the helpers are rewarded ( maybe less money for Jim Simon due to his prolific involvement ? - he will answer almost anything just to have something to say ) and the posters get weeded out as needed depending on their sincerity and need .???

I'm a newbie, please be gentle with me...

My wife and I have been designing websites for almost 10
years. As fate would have it, we learned on Frontpage, and have
always used it as the 'base' foundation to build sites with. We
currently host/maintain approx. 10 sites, and now realize it may be
of greater benefit to swith to Dreamweaver. A friend gave us a
computer loaded with amazing software, and now we are faced with
the challenge of re-learning. This machine has Dreamweaver CS3
(along with the entire Adobe Design Premium CS3)
Questios: 1. Do I need to 'convert' the sites in order for
them to work properly once I edit them with DW?
2. Will I need to completely re-organize the site, or will
DW take care of that?
If anyone has done this, or can offer advice, it would be
greatly appreciated... and thanks in advance!

Are you *SURE* you are not using shared borders, or FP
navigation elements,
or FP form processing, or FP guestbooks?
If you are, then you can just begin using DW on your site.
Before doing anything else, take a couple of weeks to
gothrough the DW
tutorials, and also to study HTML and CSS. The more you know
about those,
the easier your transition will be. DW expects alot more from
you than FP
did, and as a result, you may find it much more frustrating
to have the raw
reality of web development staring you in the face rather
than the wizards
of FP.
> Is there a way to convert a Frontpage site into a
> Dreamweaver site
1. I'd define a Dreamweaver site that points to a location on
your hard
drive for the local site's root, and to the current FP site
on the web as
the remote site
2. I'd use Dreamweaver (if your host supports FTP
connections) to download
the remote site to the root of the site you just defined on
the hard drive.
This will pick up all the pages *after* webbot action so that
shared borders
and all are already present in the page HTML. This will also
pick up all of
the server scripting. Note - in the event that you are not
able to connect
using FTP since some FP hosts block that protocol, you will
have to use a
third party 'site copier' like Black Widow, QuadSucker, or
WebCopier, (or
even the DW extension called SiteAssist from WebAssist) to
connect and
download using http protocols. Doing it this way will *not*
retrieve any of
your server-script code, if any (unless you have used the
WebAssist
extension).
3. I'd create a DW template for the pages, that captures the
"shared
border"
effect you had in FP.
4. I'd copy and paste content from each FP pages to a new
template child
page and then save the new child page with an easily
identifiable
nomenclature that is distinct from what was used on the FP
site (since you
are saving the new child pages into the same local site as
the FP pages).
5. When the basic site is completed, I'd upload the new DW
pages to some
staging area/webspace, and by using the browser, I'd verify
that the site
(as it now exists remotely) is complete.
6. Then I'd create a *new* DW site in a new location on the
hard drive, and
connect to and download all the files from the staging site.
7. You can now delete the original FP site from your local
system if you
want.
You now have a complete site (minus any of the FP extension
server-side
code) that has no FP footprint.
If you have used any FP server extension functions on the
original FP site
(form processing, guestbooks, tables of contents, etc.), you
will have to
recreate those functions in DW using 3rd party scripts, or
scripts that you
write yourself.

Apple Newbie : Creating consistent material with Pages, Keynote, Web page

Hi All,
I am a recovering XP user with iLife and iWork developing materials for my business. I would like to project a uniform image from printed materials, to Keynote presentations, to web-site.
I do not want to go down the wrong path - can someone experienced suggest a jump-off point and strategy?
Thanks in advance,
David
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) Newbie XP Convert

Well, the first point would be to consider what you mean by consistent.
Is it color, is it fonts, is it shapes. Never underestimate the usefulness of having one shape that is used throughout your various projects. I focus on the corners of the shapes, and develop complete systems around those.
Once you have decided on those, most of the information cna be copied from one program to another. A masked image in Pages can be copied and pasted into iweb or keynote. Most shapes and their information and settings can be copied from one to another.
Your best bet for working around with this concept is to take a Pages template and see how hard it is to make a consistent Keynote theme and a consistent iWeb theme. Try something that looks complicated but is relatively simple. Do so with the Extreme Newsletter template in Pages and see what is necessary to carry the same 'flavor' from Pages to Keynote to iWeb.
Have fun,
Gerry.

Newbie: managing content types with metadata - inheritance

Hello all,
a newbie-question:
Is it possible to set up new contenttypes with a hierarchical structure ?
For instance: every contenttype should have a meta-datafield called TEST123.
Can we make a 'superclass' contenttype with above mentioned meta-datafield and every contenttype created 'under' the superclass should inherit this meta-datafield.
Is this possible ? Or should we create every new contenttype with metadata TEST123 seperately ?
Thanks in advance.

In fact if you create a metadatafield TEST123, that field is available for every content type.
I think you need to look at profiling. A profile is a set of metadatafields. For example you create a set called Document. That set holds field like:
TEST123
Type
Title
Author
You could then create severall profiles using that set, including other sets. In fact you could see a profile as a composite of different sets. In ECM these sets are called rules.

Newbie Help - 5th gen with no stuff!

Hello all - I recently got a 5th gen iPod from a friend that owed me $$ and all i got was the unit (black/silver - 30GB). Besides a charger, headphones, etc - what do I need to join the revolution? I am totally new to this but feel that this iPod is the bees knees. Any help with software, connections, videos, etc? Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for helping a newbie out!
New? Windows XP DuLL desktop

Well the main thing you need, besides headphones, is a dock cable to plug the iPod into your computer. You can then put stuff on the iPod with that cable and the cable also charges the iPod from the USB port.
One nice product out there is Griffin's Powerblock which can be seen here...
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerblock/
$30 and can be bought at places like Best Buy. The nice thing about this is that not only is it a charger that plugs into the wall and gives you a standard USB port to charge your iPod and any other USB chargable devices without needing a computer (great for traveling), Griffin was even kind enough to include an iPod USB Dock cable that you need anyway.
In the meantime, if you haven't already, download and install iTunes on your computer and start importing your CD library into it.

Newbie, having a problem with Input in Java

Hello, Thank you for reading this!
I am having a hard time understanding this.
I am having an awful time with Input into variables. The following code I have got where what I type in anything from the keyboard it stores it in the variable String "name", but when I do an If statement with the variable it does not equal when I want it too.
Example,
If I type in "yes" and it should display in the output
You said yes
science
It will do the first part, what I typed in but when I say
if answer == "yes" then display science
it always goes with the else statement.
It is little things like this that blows my mind. How am I going to tell it with an conditional operator if it does not look at them the same?
It says I typed in yes I know this by thr System.outprintln("You typed, answer);
but when I do an if answer == "yes" and inside the variable "answer" is "yes"
it will not match.
Why????????
Is it because I am also pressing the enter key and it see's this?
I have read the book over and over, I don't know what I am missing.
When you look at an Input example in the book they are almost always numbers like:
If (temp <40)
System.out.println("Not freezing");
Please help me with the input and conditions.
Below is just simple code, look at the If area?
import java.io.*;
public class test
public static void main(String args[])
String name;
BufferedReader reader;
reader= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); System.out.println("Do you want to take the test? answer yes or no");
try {
answer =reader.readLine();
System.out.println("You said " + answer);
if (answer == "yes")
System.out.println("Science");
else
System.out.println("Arts");
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("I/O Exception Occurred");

You could tidy it up a bit on other ways too;-import java.io.*;
public class test{
   public static void main(String args[]){
      String answer = "";
      BufferedReader reader= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      System.out.print("Do you want to take the test? Please answer \"yes\" or \"no\": ");
         try {
            answer =reader.readLine();
            System.out.println("You said " + answer);
            answer = answer.toUpperCase().trim();
            if (answer.equals("YES") ) System.out.println("Science");
            else System.out.println("Arts");
         catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("Exception "+ioe);

Please help a complete newbie get to grips with website project

Hi all,
       I've been following a lynda.com tutorial called Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS6. I have limited HTML and CSS knowledge, but i thought i'd be fine if i didn't stray too much from the advice offered in this tutorial. The problem is, the tutorial is designed around creating a responsive website. Whereas the site i'd already designed in Illustrator uses fixed width & height type rusted metallic backgrounds and boxes that the text sits on is mean't to sit on. Anyway, all was going well until i hit the section that deals with creating a mobile layout; in particular a mobile.css. Obviously my fixed parameter boxes, created in illustrator, don't adapt to being scaled down from their original settings.
I hope i'm making some kind of sense, since i've had very little sleep because the little one has a cold.
So my question is, do i create a whole new mobile layout in illustrator? So for example my desktop background is 1366x1000, so i''d want to scale this down to 480x800 for mobile. Likewise the same for the rusted metallic text boxes. The header box at the top of the page is 940px by 185px, so i'd create one that's roughly (just a crude guesstimate) 380px by 85px etc etc. I've uploaded a still shot of my project here, so you get a better idea of what 'm talking about - http://imageshack.us/f/15/ba9t.jpg/

As you can see my knowledge of coding is abysmal, i'm definitely more of a designer than a developer. Can any one of you benevolent, intelligent and hopefully patient individuals please offer me some help and advice on how to progress, and also how to clean this cluster f*ck of a nightmare coding up. So that i can transform this into a decent desktop/mobile website. Do i have to create a whole new mobile website. and some how link to it? So that a device trying to view this on a smaller resolution automatically accesses the mobile version. How would i proceed with this?
Thanks again for any help you can offer me, it's most appreciated

Hi & welcome to the Dreamweaver Forums!
Illustrator or Photoshop are OK for making images and design comps. But don't use them to generate code. The code is hopelessly rigid and unstable; not suitable for use on real web sites.
You'll be doing yourself a huge favor if you close DW for about a week and learn everything you can about HTML, CSS and web design theory. Without a working knowledge of fundamentals, DW is going to be a frustratingly steep learning curve.   If you come to grips with code first, DW is fairly easy to learn.
Tutorials sites:
http://www.html.net/
http://w3schools.com/
http://www.csstutorial.net/
http://phrogz.net/css/HowToDevelopWithCSS.html
http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/sessions/web-design-theory/
#1 Don't paint yourself into a box. Web pages need to be flexible to work in different displays and devices.
#2 Page height is determined by content; not explicit values. Your CSS layout needs to be built in such a way as to accommodate both long and short pages. Otherwise it will fall apart when visitors change their browser settings.
#3 Positioning (APDivs or Layers) are pure poison in primary layouts. 98% of what you do requires no positioning whatsoever. Learn to use CSS floats and margins to align elements.
#4 Start with one of the pre-built CSS Layouts in DW. Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Choose a layout from the 3rd panel and hit the Create Button. SaveAs index.html. Add your own images, text and CSS backgrounds. Examine the HTML & CSS code in Split View to learn how the page is structured.
Feel free to post back if your run into any problems.
Good luck!

Boot Camp Newbie seeks meaningful relationship with Internet Explorer

Hi there. I need to access Internet Explorer for an important website relating to my work. It appears that I am going to have to dive into the murky waters of Boot Camp to get there. I have scanned the install instructions and tried to gather as much info as I can so does this sound right?
I have to upgrade to snow leopard, then buy windows 7, back up my current drive to a separate hard drive, take some valium, print out the boot camp instructions, run boot camp, partition the drives, find my leopard start up disc that came with the laptop? Did it come with a disc? Or the snow leopard upgrade disc? Use that disc when prompted in the hopes that this will all lead to a sense of euphoria, as I marvel at the brave new world I've created on my macbook? Is that right?

No... all you need is Sun's VirtualBox VM for free, then pick up Windows - I'd go with Windows 7 32-bit Home Premium System Builder for $90 from Newegg etc.
You don't need to buy Snow Leopard. Or use Boot Camp just to run Windows and web browsers.
Opera does a good job of being IE compatible; I like Firefox 3.7.x, and use IE8 most of the time.

Mac newbie! Recording problems with Audition 2.0 in WMware Fusion 3.0

Hi --
Having been an Audition/Cool Edit fan for a decade, when I recently bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro) I bought and installed WMware Fusion 3.0 for the sole purpose of running Audition on my Mac (OS 10.6.2).
Everything installed beautifully and playback, CD extraction and the like all were working fine. There was a slight bit of latency, but I could deal with it. When it came time to record something, though, it was awful. The whole Auditon program slowed down and recording was spotty, choppy and basically unintelliglble.
I thought I hadn't allocated enough memory on my virtual machine (the default was 512Mb) so I increased it to 2GB. That didn't work.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, can you give me a tip or two on how to get the recording mechanism to work properly?
Thanks!
Andre

VMWare Fusion and Parallels are just not reliable enough for real-time recording. I highly recommend setting up a bootcamp partition and using Audition under a native Windows XP environment for recording. The virtualization systems work fine for editing, mixing, etc but are just not reliable or robust enough for real-time work, in my opinion.
I supplied a short blog post to Adobe's Inside Sound blog last year about this. It's still up at http://blogs.adobe.com/insidesound/2008/02/audition_3_on_a_mac_1.html and has generated some great comments from users and even some of the folks over at VMWare.

MongoSlade,
I had this exact same problem with a CFMX 7 datasource that
was set up as Microsoft Access with Unicode. It turns out that
"Password" is a reserved word in the Unicode driver. Or somewhere.
I got around it by putting square brackets, i.e., [ ] around the
column name, like this:
update MyTable
set [Password] = '#form.Password#'
where UserID = '#form.UserID#'
That solved the problem nicely. I hope this solution will
work for you as well.

PSE newbie frustrated, please help with image resizing

Hi!
Tutorials aren't helping me, nor is trial and error. I just want to resize some photos I downloaded to my computer, then upload them to a website to use as my avatar or signature. There are specific pixel dimensions I must adhere to. I want to keep the photo in it's entirety, but when I resize it, it distorts a bit, looks fuzzy...
I can't figure out what the heck I am doing wrong. Some pictures turn out just fine and others look really bad. I know it can be done because I've seen the same pictures I'm trying to size, being used for the same thing I want to use them for, but theirs are clear, absolutely no distortion whatsoever. The pixel dimensions I have to work with are either 100x100, or 450 pixels wide by 90 pixels high.
I hope this made sense, I'm not sure how else to word it. Please forgive my ignorance, I've really been trying.
Thank-you
B

For an avatar it’s possibly best to crop to begin with so you get a true square.
Open the image and select the crop tool and change the aspect ratio to 1 x 1 or 5 x 5 then drag out a square and move the image around inside it or drag the bounding box borders until you have it looking as you want. Then click the green check mark.
On the top menu click Image > Resize > Image Size and in either the height or width box type 100 px (you only need to type the dimension once the other box will change to 100 automatically. Make sure you have the bottom three boxes checked:
Scale Styles
Constrain Proportions
Resample Image
With all three checked set the bottom dropdown to Bicubic and then hit OK.
If you want to apply some sharpening select Enhance on the top menu and choose Unsharp Mask.
Make sure the Radius is no more than 1.5 and use the amount slider to get the image looking as you want it then save.

Newbie Help - Tab Canvas with Multiple Pages, Arrow to Navigate between

Hi All,
I am developing my first form. It is a page that requires several pages. I have created a tab canvas and put the pages on (there are 10 pages). When i run the form, i can see the first 4 page headers, and cannot see the other headers. Is there a way to have a arrow at the top so i can click on it to move the display so i can see the other pages?
How would this normally be done? What i am after is a similar multi page navigation to that in the assignment screen, or any oracle screen with several pages.
many thanks
Rupz

Hi, thanks for your reply.
If i press F2, a list of all of the pages appear, but i do not get any arrows.
I have a single tab canvas with 10 pages on it. The pages fit on the canvas, but not on the display window. Do i need to modify the canvas in any way to get the navigation arrows to display?
thanks
Rupz

Newbie Video production synchronised with a tune (BPM/frame per beat)

Hello,
I wish to throw my audio track on a timeline, and have a grid allowing me to see the rythm/beats... that way I can just throw video sequences, trim and loop with help of the grid to be perfectly synchronised with the tune! do you see what I mean?? do U know anything that does that or close enough in final cut studio? or should I just use a precise BPM counter on my track and then put in the BPM value somewhere in program,
A lot of people adviced me to use that a converter found online To know how many frames per beat depending on the BPM, but surely a software must be able to dothat??? right?
Thanks for ur help.

You're better off doing this by ear and eye. It's pretty stunningly unlikely that the rhythm of your soundtrack can be described in an even number of 1/24th-of-a-second (or whatever your timebase is) frames. And if a particular beat is marked by something like a cymbal crash, it probably spans across several frames of video.
Editing is an art, not a science. Use your senses to put the cuts where they feel right, and lo and behold, they'll feel right to your audience as well.

Newbie: python hetting started with BAPI_PO_CREATE

Hi,
After studying the documentation and looking for some source code as an example, I am at a total loss and looking for some help. I do not understand how the PO_HEADER (LIKE BAPIEKKOC STRUCTURE BAPIEKKOC) parameter should be filled with data and how the table PO_ITEMS (STRUCTURE BAPIEKPOC) should be handled in the program.
Is there somebody that has some examples or could help me with a basic program setup?
Thanks in advance,
Frans

Installing the sap rfc module on Windows turned out to become a nightmare. On Linux it was no problem but under Windows it gets very hard. We are using SAP R/3 v4.6C and the Python applicatioin MUST run both on both Linux and Windows.
So I went for the pysaprfc module, which is just a wrapper for the librfc library using ctypes. On Windwos installation is really easy since the librfc library comes with the SAP GUI. On Linux, you have to hunt down a suitable librfc library from the download area on ftp.sap.com.
This is a small example to get the data from a purchase order:"
import pysap
import sys
import ctypes
from mx.DateTime import *
try:
    sap_conn=pysap.Rfc_connection(conn_file='sapconn.ini')
    sap_conn.open()
    func=sap_conn.get_interface('BAPI_PO_GETITEMS',
                                func_args=\['PURCHASEORDER'\],
                                func_res=\['PO_HEADERS', 'PO_ITEMS'\])
    print func.desc
    po_header, po_items = func(PURCHASEORDER='4500341734')
    for t in po_header:
        print t
    print '----
    for t in po_items:
        print t
    sap_conn.close()
except pysap.SapRfcError,desc:
    print "Error making py function for BAPI': %s" % desc
except Exception, e:
    print e
Or just read a table with some simple SQL:
data = conn.read_table('EQUI',
options=\["sernr eq '%s'" % sernr\],
fields=\["sernr", 'equnr', 'matnr', 'kunde'\],
max_rows=20)
The examples directory has some very helpfull code.
The pysap module solved my problem and works great within a Plone / Zope portal. It's efficient and turns out to be very reliant.

Hi,,,im a newbie so be gentle with me...lol
