I need DW CS3 or CS4 useful links

Hi everyone,
I need to use Dreamweaver CS4 and ASP.NET 2.0 and C# and MS SQL 2005 or MS SQL 2008 to build a shopping cart website for my client.
If you know any links (i.e., how to connect the DW CS4/CS3 to the MS SQL 2005 database) that are useful for DW CS4 or DW CS3 with ASP.NET. Then please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
May

Given that Adobe no longer sells DW CS3 or CS4, I don't think you'll find links to old software except through a 3rd party distributor (buyer beware).
Look at Microsoft's Expression Web if you're committed to working in ASP.net environment.
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/StudioWebPro_Overview.aspx
I think you're foolish to build a shopping cart from scratch. Honestly, you don't know how much you don't know until you're neck deep in it. The server security & PCI (payment card industry) compliance issues alone could kill your business before you get off the ground. Don't bite off more than you can chew.

Finally, whichever solution you choose, you must be in full PCI Compliance or your client could have his credit card privileges revoked.

[CS4] Porting plugin from Indesign CS3 to CS4 c++ linking error

I am hoping to upgrade our current plugin to the latest version of Indesign CS4.
I've downloaded and unpacked the new Indesign CS4 SDK and have read the porting guide. I've not seen anything obvious relating to this issue.
This is using Visual Studios 2005 SP1 with InDesignCS4ProductsSDK_Build578.
It appears that through the headers that I don't end up with any compile issues. However in linking my current project is unable to find just a couple of external symbols.

Does anyone have any ideas of where I should look next?

Ian, Thanks. That did solve the K2Vector problems.
Are you aware of which .tpp covers the PMMatrix class? That would probably make this linking error:

Using CS3 and CS4 on the same computer

I have CS3 and have used it for about two years completing many projects and I am considering upgrading to either CS4 or CS5. When and if i do this will I have to delete CS3 and replace it with the newer version or can they both remain functional on the computer? And how compatible are the projects, can you open a CS3 project in CS4 or CS5 without issues?

CS5 will ask to convert and save new copies of your CS3 and 4 projects when you open them. They will work in CS5, but they will not be backwards-compatible.
And how compatible are the projects, can you open a CS3 project in CS4
or CS5 without issues?

Why should my clients who use contribute 3 suffer because I upgrade from cs3 to cs4?

I developed a template that can be used by a number of chapters of a charitable organization. The chapters who subscribe to my template all purchased contribute cs3 and it works well for them. I may have made the mistake of buying the CS4 upgrade, as any new keys that I send using Dreamweaver cs4 to new users can not be used by users with contribute cs3. Most of these chapter already using contribute 3, do not have the funds to upgrade to contribute 4.
The code of my template has not changed, only the tool that I use to administer it has, why should they have to upgrade because I have?
This also makes it so that older users of my template will not be able to beneifit from the new version of the template. Do I have to reinstall CS3 and keep using CS3 to administer their network or do I have to force them to purchase the upgrade because I chose to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4? There had to be a way I can send a contribute 3 user a new key because the user has changed names without forcing them to upgrade. Otherwise I have to develop my template so that changes can be made by users using other wisiwig programs.

Thanks for that.
Yes I had the notion I may have been duped into buying a counterfeit CS3. I got it from Amazon and though Adobe seem to think that the serial number is OK they could not trace it on their system. However, if ths is a fake copy, what can Adobe do to help? How did they help you? I can't see them giving me a free CS3 in exchange - so I'm stuck!
Kind regards
I had exactly the same problem and I am sorry to say that you may have a counterfeit version of CS3. Contact Adobe they helped me to sort out the problem.

Premiere CS3 and CS4 Crashes

I'm having trouble with Premiere Pro versions CS3 and CS4 crashing and am not sure why. The problem usually occurs after a few minutes of the program being opened or when we either try to scrub through the timeline or try to capture. It's very frustrating. The machine came installed with CS4 and we have tried to remove and then re-install. We have also tried removing and adding CS3 and have had similar results. Recently we purchased a school license for CS5 although for Premiere we had to install the CS4 version and still have gotten the same results. This was working fine for quite sometime and I can't come up with a resolution to what is causing the problem. Can anyone offer any advice or suggestions on what to look into correct the problem? We are on an XP computer.

Can CS3.3 & CS4 Master play nice installed on same machine at same time?

First off here are the specs on my desktop and laptop:
Desktop:
Mac Pro running OSX 10.5.6 - 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core - 6 GB RAM - CS3.3 Master Collection currently installed
Laptop:
MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.6 - 2.4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo - 2 GB RAM - CS3.3 Master Collection currently installed
I recently received all the install discs for CS4. Spent the last hour researching how CS3 and CS4 play together when installed on same machine at same time. I haven't found anything that addresses my questions, thus the post.
At present, not enough of my work colleagues have CS4, so if I install CS4 and uninstall CS3 - and need to pass a file on to someone who doesn't have CS4, they can't open it in CS3.
Also, I use AfterEffects with many 3rd party plugins. Until I can verify that CS4 plays nice with these plugins, I can't afford to uninstall AfterEffects CS3. Obviously, I need to keep CS3 up and running on my desktop and laptop.
But now that I have CS4 ready to install, I of course want to start using it and learning the new features.
Has anyone successfully been able to install CS4 Master apps on a machine similar to either my desktop or laptop specs and have CS3.3 Master apps continue to work properly?
I trust Adobe takes these types of version overlaps seriously and plans for them since people want to try out or start using the newest version but ensure there is a sufficient overlap period before uninstalling the older versions.
Thanks for your comments
jslicer

j,
Your old apps will work. But the new versions will be the defaults. You can touch your files to the old application to launch it or launch the old application first, and then open files "normally".
If you need to ensure compatibility with older versions on other machines, don't delete the old apps. Or be prepared to save back to the old version before handing off the files. Note that InDesign cannot save back more than one version and in general, any features used that are new to the new apps will not be recognized when those files are saved back.

How do I edit image viewer slideshow created in CS3, in CS4?

I apologize for posting this twice...once in a previous post and once here. The reason being...the other post was old (2008) and I'm afraid it might get overlooked. So I thought I'd create a new discussion.
I created a bunch of slideshows in CS3 using Insert - Media - Image Viewer. I was looking for an easy way for my client to update the site themselves. Even though it creates a Flash element, it is easy for them to go in and switch out the images. All they do is click on the slideshow box, hit Window - Tag Inspector and click on the little folder at the side of the Image URLs' line. Nothing could be simpler. Well...I went in to see my client to show her how to do this but she has CS4. When I tried to do the same thing, nothing looked the same. The tag inspector did not have the same elements in it at all. Does this mean she cannot edit the slideshows I have created? Ugh...
If anyone can help with a work around to this...I'd be very grateful!
Thanks.
Pam

Thanks for your reply via e-mail David. I tried to reply but it's a no reply address so I'm posting here:
Do you happen to know if my client who has CS4 would be able to open the slideshows I created in CS3 using the method mentioned here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WSCF044571-2772-4d28-9EBD-2C9F46AF008A.html
Not having CS4, I can't even play around with it to see. Or will the slideshows have to be recreated in CS4? Has my work in CS3 over the months gone to waste in other words?
Alternatively, would it be better for us both to purchase a $29 Dreamweaver extension such as the one below, so we could both access the slideshow from CS3 and CS4 at the same time?
http://www.dwuser.com/flashslideshow/v3/
I need to keep building the new site using the slideshows while she maintains the old site (no slideshows) until we upload the new site this summer. I don't want to continue building slideshows she cannot access.
Thanks a lot for your help!

End of Upgrade Cycle for CS3 and CS4... Really Adobe?

As if business wasn't bad enough now I see there will be no upgrade paths past december for CS3 and 4 users. Is this how Adobe plans to keep users away from stopping their upgrades and reducing the number of machines they run Adobe products on? I understand Adobe is not a non-profit and has has to turn a revenue, but the geniuses at Marketing here have made a huge mistake by basically telling their customers that what they have so far will be worth zilch in comes 2013. That arbitrary deadline, is not consider some people who on the east coast are now cash strapped as anyone having to choose between home repairs and other such marvelous stuff and upgrading to CS6 guess what they'll choose. And for the lucky ones not heavily affected by the storms, they will donate to help their community before they will spend money to upgrade perfectly good software.
It wasn't enough that the upgrade path wasn't much of a discount, but in the current economy every penny counts! The choice of stopping support for CS3 and CS4 in my personal opinion an ill-advised move. I personally went from 3 to 4 within a short amount of time... then when 5 came out my budget didn't allow so I needed to wait. The new CS6 isn't direly needed so I decided I'd have to loose some additional "upgrade power" because money need to be directed elsewhere now... but the news that I'd loose all the upgrade power and would have kept on upgrading for nothing it's just ridiculous... and if that's the treatment a customer will have to expect from now on I think I'll use what I have and move to alternatives stopping to personally support Adobe products an rely on licensed copies at work instead. Perhaps Adobe hasn't notices we aren't exactly doing that great in US between the current economical situation, the various setbacks experienced across the country and for the fact that in this particular business most work is often being outsourced out of US these days... I am sure you will have a huge market on the countries where the outsourced work is being sent... as far as I am concerned comes 12/31/2013 I will no longer be an Adobe customer as Adobe is forcing me out of the upgrade cycle and I won't plan to re-enter anytime soon in the coming future... lesson learnt.
Thank you for your time (if any of the marketing gurus will have cared to read this far without laughing and discounting with a "screw those old customers, they should've upgraded earlier" which was basically the content of the email I got this week... pasted below)
Cheers,
tfbkny
Content of email received from Adobe saying last chance to upgrade now or what you got will be worthless in less than a couple months.
Dear Creative Suite customer:
We want to make sure you're aware of an important change to Adobe's upgrade policy that may affect you.
Beginning January 1, 2013, only Creative Suite customers with licenses for CS5 or CS5.5 versions will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.
Due to this change, we will only continue offering CS3 and CS4 customers like you special upgrade pricing through December 31, 2012.*
* Owners of CS3 and CS4 individual products and suite editions will be eligible to receive upgrade pricing to CS6 until December 31, 2012. After that date, only customers on CS5 or CS5.5 will qualify for upgrade pricing to CS6.

Adobe doesn't care, they don't have to. I like Phsotoshop and have been using it professionally for 20 years, but lets face it, I wouldnt mind some really good competition from another source. It didnt use to be the only game in town, and doesnt have to remain so.
I could brainstorm how I would want competing software to look like. Pshop is not the easiest workflow possible. Illustrator is clearly deficient to even CorelDraw, and certainly Freehand. I've been meaning to reconnect with CorelDraw. It did some cool things.
Google Chrome is pulling a lot of manoevers software wise and I hope they try to go a little deeper and give Adobe a run for their money on the one program they feel justifies unbelievable gouging. Go investigate Ableton Live if you want to see what a company that cares about its customers is doing, ADOBE. Audition is a JOKE compared to Ableton Live. Thank God we're not powned on the audio side by these suits.
The idea that a company would peddle buggy software, which CS4 was..., although some of that was Apple's fault, is bad, the upgrade prices were ridiculous, and this is the end of the road for me currently. The idea that a company would actively
push away customers is pretty incredible. "But I sent you an email!" Whoops, you gotta pay $1900 for production premium CS6! HAHAHAHAHA. Time for a YT video with my old hard copy box. Sounds like a good idea.
There are too many options on the motion graphics side, and I'll keep a static machine to run Pshop and AE CS4.
The masters of the universe will have theit way, and the rest must bow to their ambivalent greed. At least that's the way they think. It would seem that Adobe and Apple really, really want some upstarts to come up. Maybe $360 for a year to figure out an exit might work. It will be interesting to see if this hits earnings. VERY interesting.

MXF clips do not open in CS3 of CS4 (windows vista ultimate)

I have Sony DXCAM's MXF's which I can not import in Premiere (neither CS3 nor CS4). I did convert the original MXF's using Sony's DXCAM software.
Adobe claims it supports MXF files. Another editing company which uses CS3 can import XMF's using a Windows XP machine. I work on Vista Ultimate.
I have an itch that I am missing a vital codec of somekind, but I can not find out why my copies of CS3 and CS4 of Premiere Pro do not allow me to import MXF files. From within the Media browser in CS4 it results in the same disappointing result. It doesn't open.
When I tried to open one MXF file in CS3 the program crashes and forces me to close it. In CS4 I get an error message after importing which reads; "Unsupported format or damaged file."
Any help is very much appreciated, as I need to start my editing ASAP>
Thx!
Jan.
System specs short:
Windows Vista Ultimate
PC Intel Core2 Duo CPU
T7800 @ 2.60Ghz
No Additional codecs installed.
DXdiag file: http://www.buroklei.nl/upload/JanDiagDOC.zip

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your feedback. The first thing I tried was to import the MXF packages (I don't see lone MP4's) into Premiere. That did not work. So I exported the MXF files using Sony's U1 player/recorder.
I think its a Vista and/or codec problem, as my friend who workes on an XP machine is able to open MXF's in CS3.

Cs2 and cs3 and cs4 on the same pc xp? could be a mess up?

Hi
i have some questions
i bought cs2 some time ago , i guess 4 years but now i don't remember
and i did installed on my pc , never had a problem
after when cs3 come out , i tried the trial version , the first time i did not like it , but after 2 weeks , i liked and i need it for camera raw
i upgraded my cs2 license
well the point i donwnload the trial version of cs4 (english version , because most of the tutorials are in english) while cs2 and cs3 are in my language
i tried to make a custom install (i did not install all the comonent)
something went wrong ,when i tried to uninstall cs4 , i don't know but cs4 did not uninstall all the components (the uninstaller keeps adobe color Na, Ja, Eu, color common setting and cmaps)
i downloaded the cs4 cleaner for adobe page , but the adobe cleaner for cs4 was not able to clean these components, it tried to clean cs3
well i had to use windows installer clean up manually
delete every thing that is related to cs4
uninstall cs3 and re-install it
so after this mess, i ask if i can keep cs2 cs3 and cs4 (i think i will buy or upgrade) in the same pc running xp?
my second question
2) after updating cs4 , run the cs4 update utility and update all the cs4 components , cs4 seems to be more fast then cs3 , still on old pc with a powerfull machine like a p4 3.6 with 2gb of ram and a good graphic card pci express
is my feeling ? is the cs4 more fast then cs3 on not fast pc , isn't it?
thanks too much
and have a nice day

thanks John Joslin
CS4 is faster than CS3 on a computer which supports it.
which are the computer that supports it ? i run xp
why did the uninstaller do a mess up ?
thanks

Importing Actions from PS-CS3 to CS4

I recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS4
I tried to import the "Actions" I used in CS3 into CS4, but they didn't work.
Is there a converter or something? Anyway to get those actions into CS4 without re-recording them?
Thanks,
--PS

Ah, restart the program!
I just loaded my actions set from wherever they're stored on my hard drive - a directory somewhere for Photoshop stuff.
Restarted PS-CS4 and... voila, actions work. Didn't think I needed to do that.
Love simple solutions.
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

There are now two buttons on the Property inspector: HTML and
CSS. Click
the HTML one.

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!
