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?

DW 4 not seeing GoLive .site file!

I have several sites created in GoLive 7. I downloaded the GoLive 9 free trial, brought them over into GL9. Then I did the "Convert Site to New Structure" command as I have seen suggested. Downloaded the GoLive to DW migration extension and installed it. So far so good.
But when I go to Import GoLive Site, and navigate to the folder where the site file is (there are actually several, only one is the current one), Dreamweaver does not "see" the .site files, even though when I look in the window in explorer, they are there. All I see are the web-content, web-data, and web-settings folders, but no .site files at all.

This is an issue that I have never come across before. You're
using a
non-standard filename extension, so it doesn't particularly
surprise me
that Dreamweaver ignored it. Have you tried entering
.properties in the
list of filename extensions, as I suggested? If that works,
your problem
is solved. All that's needed is for the documentation to be
made more
explicit.
On the other hand, if your filename extension is likely to be
in
widespread use, perhaps it's something that should be added
to the
standard list of files that Dreamweaver handles. Submit a
feature
request to the Dreamweaver team.

Can I Import a golive site?

I wanted to bring a golive site into DW and edit it from now
on in DW. I assume this is possible and that some things will break
in the process but I have looked at export import info but it is
not very clear to me.
If I try to export my GoLive site after opening it, my only
non grayed out option is ( site Locator )
If I try to import from within DW, I only see 2 grayed out
options ( xml or Tabular )
I'm not even sure it is possible to do this, bring a golive
site into dreamweaver.
Can someone help me out here.
Thanks.

Just create a site in DW that points to the root folder of
the GL site. You
will be able to edit the files directly.
None of GL's special features will work in DW, however -
smart objects,
components, etc.

How to edit a PC based golive site on mac?

Hi,
I have a golive site file I always edited on golive cs2 on a PC. the PC version crashes too often to be useful. I'd like to try to use the golive site on CS2 golive on the mac side, but I have never had sucess opening the entire site file.
is there some way to convert the file to be mac-centric? individual pages are easy enough to work with in either system, but the site file itself crashes in windows 7 and mac.
Using MacPro 8 core 2.8, 32 GB ram, leopard 10.5.8, have traditionally used parallels xp virtual machine to edit, but now i run windows 7. the windows 7 doesn't work as well as the old XP.
I love golive, fiddled with dreamweaver for several years, but it is not for me, so, please do not just say use dreamweaver.

Hi
When you click on View Data, at bottom click on Edit button
It will prompt a connection details tab wherein you can view and modify the connections

Lost iWeb Site .... need to import current site!

HI
My iWeb site info was lost after a destroyed computer incident.
I didn't know about the domain file that should be backed up ... I do now... but I am left with a .Mac web site that I can't edit or import.
What should I do?
Are there products that can import the site? Maybe I can continue using a different editor?
Is there a way to add new pages to my site ... to at least link to a new site? Or is my current site now frozen in time?
Thanks for any advice
Lee

Ok to rant now and then; we all have at one time or another!
Maybe this will help: understand that iWeb doesn't operate like other web apps, in the sense that it does not write html as it creates. It takes the data you place in it and then converts all of it into html when you click the Publish button. In other words, iWeb does the Save As for you when it generates the html necessary for the web.
I save frequently as I work in iWeb. If you have spent hours working with the application and you have created a substantial portion of a site, it is a very good idea to stop, make a duplicate copy of the Domain file, and place it in it's own folder, in another location. There is a free automator application available here which makes this process very quick and easy.
Get used to backing up that Domain file frequently. While it doesn't happen that often, there are posts in the forums about the inability to even save your work after hours of labor in the app. If you have duplicated your Domain file incrementally as you work, you will avoid the perils of this situation.

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 existing site made in another app into iWeb

Hi,
Is it possible to import to iWeb a site created in RapidWeaver? Or, at somehow have any new iWeb site I do, and keep the work I did the in RW online.
I don't necessarily need to edit it, but I'd like to keep that RW site intact and available.
Also, Roddy, thanks for this link you put in another thread- I've got a lot to study:
http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_FAQ.html
Guy

No; iWeb cannot import existing sites. If you have the HTML and other files from RapidWeaver, store them on your hard disk, and then use iWeb to publish to a folder, posting those pages as desired.

Can I import a site from an iDisk Backup?

i recently did an erase and install on my MBP thinking that iWeb would be able to retrieve my site from my iDisk. I then found out there is a separate domain file that iweb uses which I deleted. What is the easiest way to get my site back being that I do still have it all "there" on idisk?
Also, the site was created with iweb '09 but now im using '08.
Thanks.

iWeb cannot import published sites. See this page for help.....

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,

Password Recovery for a GoLive site

Is there anyway to recover a password from a site that is built in GoLive? And if so how is it done. I've done internet searches and haven't found any way to do it.
I have an old GoLive site that I'm working on and need to recover the Password so I can move the site over to Dreamweaver.
thanks for your help.

The best option to deal with a forgotten password is to reset that password. Nobody should be using old passwords. That is a security risk. Passwords should be refreshed regularly. You can refresh a FTP password by contacting the hosting company. If the master account for the password is also not known, the hosting company can typically refresh that once you prove your identity by confirming the method of payment (credit card number).
There are two ways that I have recovered passwords from my own computer. These methods require that you have at least one program on your computer that can still connect to the FTP site.
One way is to 'sniff' your network traffic to see what plain text username and password is sent to the server. This will not work on SFTP connections (and is why you should use SFTP connections to be more secure).
The other way is to use a password revealer tool. Whenever you see a password field filled with asterisks, there is a password behind it that can be revealed.
Both of these methods can be accomplished with freeware. Should you look for these easy-to-find tools, be sure to get them from reputable sources. You should not want password revealer malware running on your computer that can secretly send your passwords home to the software's creator.

Importing Web Site - Best Way ?

I'd like to import my sites and work on them as local
documents (import all graphics, js, etc...)
What's the best way? I've heard that DW doesn't really have
an import tool for websites (just getting the hang of the program)
Thanks very much :-)

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....

You can't use the iWeb Domain file with anything but iWeb.
You can probably edit published iWeb sites with GoLive and modify and save them. Whether that would make your site more acceptable to IE I have no idea. I don't think GoLive is a simple program. You can probably download a trial from Adobe and play with it and ask questions on the Adobe forums.

Error importing SharePoint site collection - "there is an error during importing the Roles tag"

Hi, we are having trouble restoring a SharePoint 2010 site collection using our DPM 2012 installation. The recovery process goes fine (restore of the database, attach to the sql server, export into WFE's filesystem) and the last phase, the SharePoint import,
seems to end with an exception. We see this in the WssCmdletsWrapperCurr.errlog file:
Caught Exception while trying to import Url .....
Exception message =
There is an error during importing the Roles tag
Exception Stack =
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Deployment.ReadAttribute.String(....
It looks like it is a SharePoint import issue, but I'm not sure. We have tried to restore the site into an empty one, and the exception appears again, although it *seems* that the content has been recovered. We have imported using the security info
on the recovery point.
I've searched for that error message in the Net but I've been unable to find anything appropriate.
Do you have any hints?
Thanks.
