Import contribute site in dreamweaver

I want to import the site I currently manage in contribute in dreamweaver to see if it is an easier way to manager. How do I do this?

Have you ever used Dreamweaver?
How good are you with HTML and CSS code?
Go to Site > New Site and tell DW where on your hard drive you wish to keep your local site folder.
Enter your remote server FTP credentials.
From the Files Panel, Click on the Down Arrow to GET files from your remote web server.

Importing iWeb site to dreamweaver?

Is it possible to import my iWeb site to dreamweaver? I want to do this because i find that iWeb is too simplistic and i find the options are limited. To be honest all i want to do is put the website on dreamweaver and fiddle around with the HTML code and maybe do a couple of extra things. Anyway is it possible?

Publish the site to a folder and then open the published files in Dreamweaver.

Can't import BC site into Dreamweaver

I recently downloaded a trial of Dreamweaver and the adobe business catalyst plugin. When I try to import my bc site I am asked to login with this error message:
"An account with the same email already exists in Business Catalyst. To associate the Business Catalyst account with your Adobe ID, please log in to the Business Catalyst web administration console."
After logging in to the BC admin console I still cannot import my site. Is there some trick to merging the accounts?

Hi sambrasch,
Can you check the solutions in this post Cannot "Get started" or publish a site from Dreamweaver CS6 because the account is not associated with Business Catalyst account - technote and let us know if you still need help?
Thanks,

Importing a flash site in Dreamweaver

Hello; Can someone tell me how I can import a site,made in Flash,in Dreamweaver??It's for appyling serverbehaviours and all the other stuff you need to make the site dynamic. When I import the swf,html or fla file in Dreamweaver,I am getting the flash placeholder(of course) whitch is of no use. In Dreanweaver it isn't possible to make such great designs like in Flash,so therefore I was thinking:why not make the design in Flash and than export it to Dreamweaver. Is there anyone who has the answer?? many thanks!

Hi
With javascript and (a good knowledge of javascript), css and other plug-ins, it is now possible to create any flash based page in dreamweaver with the same look and feel. But unlike flash most of these techniques are not well documented except on various developers blogs, and even then many tutorials are no use to a beginner/intermediate as they require a knowledge of the language/techniques used.
As for rounded corners, script text, animation / behaviors, they are all possible in dreamweaver. But the simple fact you mentioned using AP divs, says you probably do not know enough of html/css/javascript/svg/vml, (the list could continue) to implement them.
I am not criticizing you, (it may sound so, but it is not meant so) as many web designers/developers are probably of a similar opinion as yourself, and given that it is definitely much easier to implement these things in flash, well lets be honest, if you are doing this for a living, I know which I would choose unless the client was willing to pay for the extra time required in dreamweaver, (yes, use Flash).
To create an html page for your flash movie, use the html publish settings in flash, it is much easier than importing the movie into dreamweaver.

I'm getting an error message after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse.

I'm getting a couple of messages after importing a table through Dreamweaver into a page developed in Muse. I have compared the code of the page with the table with the page before I inserted the table and cannot find anything missing. the web address is http://gourmetdreams.com/weekly-menu.html
How can I clear this up?
I also noticed that when I uploaded the file there was one error: "- error occurred - Access denied. The file may not exist locally, may be open in another program, or there could be a local permission problem."

Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

Help needed - creating site in dreamweaver with swfs

Hi
I am attempting to make a website in dreamweaver, with
animated swf files for the banner and buttons. My problem is with
the sizes.
I want to get all of the buttons next to each other, with
little or no gaps.
I've tried making a table and putting each button in a
different column, but there are still massive gaps.
The other problem is to do with the web browser, I think.
I want it to be like most sites, if the user dosent have the
page full screen, the banner and buttons will resize so that the
user can see all of the site, normally until you have squashed the
browser halfway.
For example, when you drag the corners of a swf file while it
is playing, the image resizes so you can see the whole of it, no
matter how small you make the application.
I want my imported swf file in dreamweaver to resize if the
user does not have the web browser full size.
For example, if you have your browser in windowed mode now,
drag the sides so that the application is squashed, you can still
see the post and the banner, it resizes automatically.
I have attatched all of my files in a zip on
[url=http://www.weebls-stuff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48673]this
post[/url]
Please be aware that this is the first time I have attempted
to make a proper website so i am a bit of a simpleton when it comes
to web design, and dreamweaver.
Any help would be appreciated and you can speak to me on msn
if it's easier, i am:

I want to make a new site in dreamweaver and host it on business cstalyst

I want to make a NEW site in Dreamweaver CC and host it on the Business Catalyst platform.But it seems the only way to use dreamweaver in business Catalyst is to import a BC template into Dreamweaver then upload it to BC. I want to create an original site and use the BC platform, is that possible? This seems like it should be simple and automatic, even encouraged. But as of now the only way to create an original site is to use Adobe Muse. Which is weird, seems like Adobe missed this one somewhere...

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

How do I edit FrontPage sites with Dreamweaver 8 without messing them up?

I have to edit a friend's Front Page site using Dreamweaver
without messing up her ability to publish also.
I'm running Dreamweaver 8.0. I already installed an extension
for dreamweaver mx called "Import Front Page Site Wizard for
Dreamweaver" but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a version of
this for DW8? When I "import" the site using IFPSWFD it says
restart DW to complete the process, and when I restart it says the
new site "has been added" but I don't see it in my list of DW
sites.
Does anyone have tips on using DW8 to edit FP sites without
corrupting them?
Thanks for your help!

i won't touch front page sites where the client/user/owner
intends to keep
on using frontpage. Not even with a borrowed ten foot pole.
if they will keep there fingers out of it, yes; it can be
worked on. If they
want to keep using fp, no because in cleaning it up i'll
break it as far as
they and fp are concerned. Or worry about breaking it which
is worse and not
worth the aggravation.

Edit Existing Site With Dreamweaver

Im sure this question has been asked 100 times but how do I edit an existing site (published and on the web) with Dreamweaver CS5.5? I took over as webmaster last month at a company and would like to edit the companys website. How do I download the files off the web? I can do it with Contribute but not Dreamweaver.

Create a local site folder in DW. Site > Manage Sites > New.
Go to Advanced > Remote info and enter your log in-details (FTP, host URL, username, password).
Test connection to server.
Then GET files from server.

Importing GoLive site?

Okay, here's a challenge.
I just updated to a Mac Pro 2.8 running Leopard 10.5.2 and
CS3. I'd like to take an existing web site I created in GoLive CS2
and transition it to DreamWeaver. I know about the GL2ID plug-in
from Adobe. The problem is I've read that CS2 in not compatible
with Leopard, which is the only OS my new Mac Pro will run. How can
I import my web site into DreamWeaver without using the plug-in,
which it doesn't look like I'll be able to use anyway.
Thanks,
Kelly

Is there anyway I can use the FREE downloadable trial version
of GL9 to do this?

Adding a local site to Dreamweaver CC that is through a mapped network drive breaks ALL connections

I am using Dreamweaver CC on Windows 8 on a machine that is hooked up to a local network. My site files are stored on another drive on that network and I am mapped to that drive. I have always been able to open in individual file from that drive in Dreamweaver. But I noticed that with one site I am working on, Dreamweaver would hang trying to make minor revisions to the PHP code. It was suggested to me to add the whole folder as a local site in Dreamweaver, so I did. At first I thought it was moving along much better -- no hanging while I was typing code. Then suddenly I realized I could not save the files. I was no longer connected to the drive I was working on. Even outside of Dreamweaver, I was unable to access the drive. I thought it was a network issue. I rebooted the computer and opened a Windows Explorer folder and was able to access the drive. Then I opened Dreamweaver again and the connection was lost.
To test my theory, I rebooted again, accessed the drive, waited a little while, accessed the drive, then opened Dreamweaver and it was lost. I tried this several times, each with the same result.
Then I went into Dreamweaver, removed the site from Dreamweaver and rebooted. I accessed the drive, opened Dreamweaver, and voila... I could still access the drive. So I tried adding the site back to Dreamweaver and I cannot access the drive after opening Dreamweaver again.
Without having the site in Dreamweaver, the files/Dreamweaver hangs EVERY TIME I TYPE CODE. Adding a site on a mapped local network drive BREAKS MY CONNECTION and disables my ability to work on the files. Is there a reason for this and more importantly, is there a fix? It seems like a very specific but illogical problem.
My next step is to find and install my old Homesite 4.5.
Thanks in advance for any useful advice!

I surely did not knowing change anything within the software!
I just tried adding another site. It seems like it is setting it up and reading the files but then at the end (apparently just as the connection breaks), it gives me these errors:
Cannot create [SITE NAME].
and
The local root folder, [FOLDER NAME], does not exist. Please select a new local root folder by clicking the Manage Sites button.
(I changed the out the actual site name and folder name above.)
I believe these were the same errors I got with the other site. At the time I was pushing a deadline and was too frantic to write it down.
Not that I think it has any relevance, but both sites are Wordpress sites.
Maybe what I should try next is mapping a different drive and trying to set up a site from there?
For that error you want you can try mapping it but it seems your sites root is just not defined... what DW is telling you is it could not find the specified folder when its trying to establish the new site. You might want to make sure your folder is there and all the spelling is correct, when making sure go your your Site Manager and make sure your root site is in your network drive.

Importing other sites?

A million years ago when I used FrontPage, I was able to
download almost any regular HTML site on the internet. I used this
to study the coding and learn how other designers put things
together. I was able to do this without any login info or special
access - I simply clicked "import url XYZ" and the site downloaded.
Is there a way to do that with Dreamweaver? I still see sites
that I would love to study in-depth and learn how they did certain
things. I can muddle through the code using view source, but it's
not quite as easy.

import existing sites from the www into dreamweaver... no.
there are software programs out there that allow you to do
that. Be careful of intellectual property infringement....

Contribute 3 and Dreamweaver 8 Connection Issues

Hello,
I'm having issues finalizing my site definition at the
"Contribute" stage in Dreamweaver.
When I test the connection from Dreamweaver's "Remote Info"
stage, Dreamweaver successfully connects to the main directory: "
http://domain.edu" (domain.edu), where
I upload files to the main site (not connected to Contribute), but
I want to connect contribute to a mini site in a subdirectory of
the main site - "
http://domain.edu/folder/folder".
I'm stuck at the point where I click "Administer Site in
Contribute" in the "Site Definition" dialog box. This is the first
time I've set up a site in Dreamweaver with Contribute
compatibility and a remote connection, so I have not run into this
before.
Everything was going fine until the "Contribute" panel.
The Site root URL in the dialog box originally pointed to the
index file of the existing mini site sitting on the server: "
http://domain.edu/folder/folder/index.htm".
When I click the "Test" button, I keep getting the error
message:
"Dreamweaver could not connect to the remote server... Please
fix the remote connection before continuing"
So, I changed the Site root URL to point to the root folder
of the mini site:"
http://domain.edu/folder/folder/index.htm"
Then I got this error message:
"Dreamweaver could not find a page at the specified site root
URL"
I changed it back to the original URL and went back to the
"Remote Info" dialog. I thought that maybe the problem was that I
was supposed to change the host directory to "domain/folder/folder"
(from "domain") to reflect the exact folder that the mini site was
stored in, but when I did, I got an access denied error.
I am at a complete loss, please help...
I am using:
Dreamweaver 8
Contribute 3
Windows XP
Has anyone gotten an answer to this problem? I have seen many
threads in both the Dreamweaver and Contribute forums, but nothing
looked like a solution or explanation of why this occurs. Please
Help. I would like to use this tool throughout our college
campuses, but I am loosing faith in this product. I know that If
I'm having trouble, novice users will completely reject this
technology...

OK, Now I'm REALLY confused
I gave up on trying to connect Contribute to my website
through Dreamweaver. I figured I'd go back to Contribute and see if
I could get the connection directly from Contribute. Somehow, It
worked. I think I went to Edit > My Connections > Create...
> and entered my FTP information and it worked! I still cannot
connect through DW however.
So far, this has allowed me to continue with setting up this
site with Contribute. I'm still really confused as to what the
problem is with Dreamweaver and Contribute working together.
I'm going to go back and make sure that I can repeat whatever
I did to get it working. The only thing worse than not being able
to get something to work is stumbling upon the solution and not
knowing how you did it

Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them

Dreamweaver Can I import muse pages into Dreamweaver and "up grade" them
Muse is terrific for basic pages, but forms, and scripts require more capability
Also is there anyone watching this who does freelance work on web design?

13:46:44
Thanks Murray
Yes I have looked at the Muse code and also looked at it in a plain html editor, (Been using Arachnophilia for about 15 years)
and the code is a mess.
You are dead right. I figured I would start with Muse to get some of the concepts sorted out, and that has worked, but I know I will need to use DW for my main site
CanLaw has about 1500 pages all done in html with tables….
time to play catch up
Ton of work, but I have a masochistic bent anyway
But in the long run life will be simpler if I make the effort now.
