I've built a website in DW CS3 how do I 'give' it to my client so they can edit text etc?

Is there some sort of WCMS I can use, my client has absolutely no experience of web design and isn't a very competent computer user. Thank you

Cushy CMS might be all you need for this project (watch their video to see how it works). http://www.cushycms.com
GetSimple CMS (very basic CMS for clients to edit 5 - 10 page web sites, no MySql required).

How do I change the name of photos so they can upload to my website?

Thanks in advance. I'm saving to a folder from iweb and then uploading with Transmit to my website. Unfortunately many of my pics have names that won't upload because the format's wrong. How do I alter the names in iphoto so they import correctly? I believe I need to change the original names. Thanks.

Use only alphabet and numbers. No symbols, spaces or punctuation. Lower case is even better for many servers. Be sure to append the file extension to the file name:
Jane's New Dog becomes janesnewdog.jpg (underscore to separate words is OK).

Is there a way to make a website in flash, the client can edit?

is there a way to make a website in flash, the client can edit? if not which is the best tool to use?
thanks!

I said "such as" for a reason. There are various forms that data resources can take, such as simple name=value text files, but if you are shy of learning xml then you are likely shy of other file forms as well.
Another way would be to have the client purchase Flash and then they can edit the Flash source file themselves.
Unfortunately, to do what you want, either you or the client has to learn/understand the tools that are involved.

I built a website for a customer using HTML only, so it would work on everything, but some of the text numbers are not clear on the ipad. It works perfectly on all the other browsers.

I built a website for a customer using HTML only, so it would work on any browser, and it works perfectly on everything except ipad safari. I'm loosing information with most of my text numbers - instead of being black they are displaying a 'ghost' image (white) of the numbers.
Is this a memory issue, or cache issue, or something else? I've downloaded iCab and the site works perfectly with it.
Also wondering if I can manually reload/refresh web pages in iPad Safari.
Since most people with iPads will use Safari rather than iCab, I have to tweak this site to work in Safari.

Detecting phone numbers and making them clickable is a feature of the browser, and rebuilding your web-site links will not make any difference. Its done when the page is shown in the browser, not when the page is created.
According to the Safari iOS developers guide, you can turn these data detectors off using this code:
<meta name = "format-detection" content = "telephone=no">

Created website in flash cs3, wont open once hosted...

I tried to find the answer here in the forums but couldn't,. I'm sorry, i bet this question has been posted before..
I created a website in flash cs3. published it so that I now have an index.html, home.swf and AC_RunActiveContent.js file.
when I upload these to host, the url just shows blank white page. I called customer support of host, godaddy, and they said the server could not find the swf file.
are they named incorrectly? I'm new to this...
thank you very much

According to a quick check there is no file by the name of...
So... two things:
1. Never use spaces in the names of files you intend to use on the web. That space can break code up. It is best to use an underscore if you need to, but not an empty space.
2. After you change the name and get things updated in the code for the new name, make sure your spelling is correct.
After you have loaded the newly named file you should be able to access it directly on the web using ... newfilename.swf
where newfilename is whatever new name you give it.

HT201318 Hello. I have just built a website using iWeb but cannot upload it. I curently have the 25gb account. There doesn't appear to be any facility here for the net. ASm I correct in thinking I need an upgrade, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

Hiding built-in Menu items in CS3 (JS)

Hi all,
Is there any option through javascript to hide ie. disable built-in menu items in CS3. Here our requirement is to hide the menu items like Hide Attributes, Hide Comments, Hide Processing Instruction in the XML palette. Have to disable in all the places.
Thanks
Vaasu

Thanks,
This helps a bit.
What do I use for "SomeScriptMenuItem".
I have tried...
var myScriptMenuItem3 = myFileMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction3, LocationOptions.AFTER, "User...");
var myScriptMenuItem3 = myFileMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction3, LocationOptions.AFTER, User);
var myScriptMenuItem3 = myFileMenu.menuItems.add(myScriptAction3, LocationOptions.AFTER, 24);
I want my menu item to appear after "User..." in the file menu.
Thanks

Built a website to work on all Browsers (fire/Saf/IE), but now IE is moving the content and Nav?

I have just built a website, ensuring that it works on all browsers, firefox, safari, and IE (I believe the newest IE) When I built my first page it worked on all browsers except IE, (the content and Navigation would drastically move to the left) so I rebuilt it and checked everything on IE and it was fine, when it happened on other pages I again would rebuild it and it would be fine. I had it posted under my personal domain the entire time so I could see what it truly would look like. When it was done everything was basically fine. BUT, when I deleted it from my domain and moved it to the actual domain several of the pages would once again show up with this problem, the Navigation and and content moving to the left only on IE of course?
Can someone suggest if there is something in my code that shouldn't be there that is causing this? or something that I need to add to help the site In IE?
the domain is www.harmonyhealthalberta.ca
In need of help with this one??
Thanks!

You have painted yourself into a box of determinate height by using a single background image. When text size is increased in browser (zoom, text only), the page becomes a bit of a mess.
A better approach would be to slice your design comp into sections or image slices and apply those to the various areas in your page. #header, #navigation, #mainContent, #footer, etc...
The other advice I offer is to use CSS instead of tables for layout. CSS is much more flexible and it allows you to make global site changes by editing one external stylesheet file instead of re-coding the entire site. See CSS Zen Garden for some awesome examples of this -- http://www.csszengarden.com/

Website designed in CS3 now appears small on wide monitors

I designed 3 websites using Dreamweaver CS3 (1 using the 3 column fixed, header and footer and 2 using the two column fixed, header and footer). When these websites are viewed in a non wide monitor they look fine. When they are viewed in a wide screen monitor the right and left margins are really large and the website looks very small. Here is the link to the website: www.quickflash.com. Is there something that can be done about this?
I have noticed this with other websites also. They are so slim and the right and left margins are so large.
Please advise.
Thank you,
Heather

So you published first on flash player 8 and also the html, uploaded and then exported on flash player 10, uploaded just the swf and the html stayed the same?
It could be a problem of the html page being generated for an older version of flash player. Don't know but i had this problem.

I need some FREE website templates that i can edit in dreamweaver.. help!!!

By Template, are you looking for DW Template.dwt files?
Dreamweaver templates: Customizable starter designs for beginners | Adobe Developer Connection
Or pre-built CSS & HTML Layouts (starter pages)?
For starter pages in DW, go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.
Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit Create button.
Or, look at Project Seven's commercial CSS Layouts and Page packs (not free, but well worth the investment if you want a good final product).

Client loses ability to edit pages in CS3

Hi folks, although the permissions I had for client in CS3 were pretty broad, she is now only able to edit text   on SOME pages whereas she was able to edit text on all before. When I log in using CS5 I do not see any draft pages, but she said she cannot even create a draft for those pages. She can only edit one page now...
Any ideas what might be the problem here?     I am now using CS 5 but had NOT opened up the website for months until she emailed me today about the problem.

Okay, I reloaded the site, made sure it is compatible and transitional, sent a new key. Client is able to log in and edit   one page but not others they have created, I think, even though she has publisher permissions. She says she has no drafts on her system. I used the same key in CS3 and was able to edit all pages. We are stumped... She is one Windows and I'm on a Mac, so my guess there is something messed up in her Win preferences or whatever they're called, like plist on the mac...   or something else.
All pages are checked in and she has Enabled the connection.
can anyone give me a clue as to what to tell her to do to restore her ability to edit pages?

Can edit home page but not other pages of website. Can anyone help?

I've just installed Contribute CS5 and tried some editing of my website. I found that I can only edit the home page. When I go to the other pages the draft that is created doesn't show my images and I also can't get into the page to do anything. On top of the draft page there is something like a small logo with the letters "php" and the curser stays there. Does anyone know why that is and what I can do to make it work? And if yes, can you explain it to me as if I was 3 years old, please. Thank you.

It is pretty easy but it should be considered more of a content management system rather than a basic web editor (even though that's what it does). For example, we have 25 content posters that use Contribute. They know basically nothing about building websites so we use Contribute so that they can do limited things on the site. But it still takes us using a different tool in the background to keep the site up and running.
The unfortunate news is, unless you know PHP language, your site will be a bear to work on. It's a scripting language so, much harder than HTML.
Your site really wouldn't be to hard to rebuild in HTML if you have some experience with building websites from scratch. If you know HTML, you can use one of many low-cost HTML editors out there. If not, you'll need to use a tool like Dreamweaver but even then, it helps to know HTML in case something goes wrong and you have to dig in and find the problem.
Your other option would be to hire someone to build a new site for you. This time, let them know you will be using Adobe Contribute to work on the site so that they can put it together properly.
Not sure why it was built in PHP to begin with.
Good luck.

My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back. It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

Wow! I think I had this same issue just last night.
I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside. Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly. It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle. Of course I took no pictures!!! I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
But I digress... The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect. After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though. There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top. After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen. I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background. After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle. After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange. But I believe that might be all in my head now.
So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

CS3:How to link a file to a InDesign document?

Hello all, I looked at in the LinkWatcher sample code to get an idea how to link a file to a document, I came up with the code below, the last line of code needs pageitemUID instead of pageUID which I used it here: IDFile outFile = Utils<ImyUtils>()->getMyFile(); // it reads the file InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(::CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss)); InterfacePtr<IDataLink> dataLinkNew(dataLinkHelper->CreateDataLink(outFile)); IDocument* theFrontDoc = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument(); IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(theFrontDoc); InterfacePtr<IDocument> piDoc(theFrontDoc, UseDefaultIID()); InterfacePtr<IPageList> pageList(piDoc, UseDefaultIID()); UID pageUID(kInvalidUID); if (pageList->GetPageCount() > 0) { pageUID = pageList->GetNthPageUID(0); } // I try to link the file to the front document, although it say pageitemUID, as a second //parameter, but I don't want to link the file to a particular page item. is this a right thing to do? int32 result = dataLinkHelper->AddDataLink(database,pageUID, dataLinkNew); as I execute the code it doesn't add the file in Link palette in CS3, but when I pass a UID of one page item such as text frame, it will add the name of file to link palette with a "1" comes to end of row that shows how many times this file was included in the frame. but in case I have not a page item can I use the pageUID instead ? Thanks In Advance, Mor

Lee,
Sorry I think I didn't use the right terminology, somehow I want to include/link the file (not with menu item 'place') programmatically in my current open Indesign document, then I expect to see the filename in Link palette. I can do this with linking to a page item in doc but I don't want to assign it to a particular page item, rather I want to assign it to doc. Is any approach to do it?
Thanks again,
Mor
