Inadequate rendering from Muse to Dreamweaver

Attached is an image of a screenshot of the Dreamweaver design view rendition of an HTML file exported by Muse. On the right is the same HTML file in MS Expression Blend's design view. Clearly the Dreamweaver design view is inadequate. In a browser (Chrome) the HTML file looks almost exactly like the Expression Blend design view. Hope you guys can fix this asap. I don't like working in Blend.

Are you working within a Defined Local Site in DW? Without this critical first step, DW cannot properly manage assets for you.

Changeing a site from Muse to Dreamweaver in business catalyst

HI guys, I have used various forums in the past to answer many questions about web design but never have I actualy asked a queastion - I really hope someone can help me please! (I can't seem to find a simple answer anywhere!)...
So here goes...
Being new to web design I created my very first site in Adobe Muse. My reasons for this were coming from a graphics/ print bacground the transition between the programs were really easy. I created my muse site quickly and uploaded it to business catalyst (incredibly easily) under the domain www.keep21.co.uk.
However as I progressed in learning more about web I decided to try and move away from Muse because I wanted to have more control of the code. For this reason I started to learn Dreamweaver. Being a person who never does anything by half I decided I would start from the basics and firstly learn HTML and CSS before I looked into the program. Having gotten my head around that I created a root directory and began to re-create the site I had built in Muse by hand-coding it into Dreamweaver. I made a few changed a long the way to simplify the design and I am now happy enough to take this site live (replacing the muse site I'd already created). HOWEVER.......... I have noooooo idea how to do this and have become very confused.
Can anyone please explain how to do this please? So to re-iterate I am looking to replace the files I have on business catalyst for the site 'keep' with my new dreamweaver site.
When I started the site I created a root directory and have four basic pages within the folder (index.html, about.html,pricing.htm and contact.html) I a lso have images, templates and CSS ready to go.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Hannah

Hi INTW,
While in Dreamweaver, Go to Site>>Manage Sites... >>Import Business Catalyst Site
Login if prompted and then select the site from the list and choose your current root folder
A connection will be automatically setup.
If you left the download entire site checked, the current remote site folders and files will be downloaded to your root.
All you have to do is upload your new files then go to your admin and set the 'site's start page'.
That's all there is to it.
PS, id suggest you 301 redirect the old pages instead of deleting them.

Moving site from Muse to Dreamweaver

If a website is written in Muse, what is the procedure for moving it to DreamWeaver?

Hi,
You need to export the site as HTML from File > Export HTML. Once exported, you can open it in DW.
PS : You can't import the site back into Muse after making the changes in DW.

From Muse into Dreamweaver?

After exported a muse project´s files, such as html, css etc. What can I do to make an html page´s design visible for me in Dreamweaver´s designmode?
(I need to work further with forms which need to function on another webserver than Business Catalyst´s.)

jkijki wrote:
They say you cannot import Muse files into DW. that way they get to sell two progmams
That's not entirely true. You most certainly can use the 'Export as HTML' tool in Muse and then do whatever you like with the files in any HTML such as Dreamweaver, Edge Code or any other HTML Editor or even a text editor.
However once it is edited in another program you will not be able to make changes back in Muse.

Muse to Dreamweaver (Social Network capabilities in muse?)

Hello,
Alright I'm a beginner here with these products so I apologize if any of these questions or statements are a little slow. So right now I'm trying to create my first website, using whatever software is needed (I just purchased creative cloud membership). I've used Muse to create a few websites just kind of learning the ropes. So now I'm hoping to kind of dive in by creating a "social networking," site. Apparently this is a lot more work than I thought it would be. I've used photoshop to create images and Muse to put the site together, then exported the HTML from muse to dreamweaver and this is all working fine. (site is connected and working on the internet). Now for my questions,
1.) First off I need to ask, is it possible to create a social networking type site entirely with muse (much like facebook, upload photos, have your own profile, news feed, etc)? Pretty confident the answer is no but ideally that'd be what I'd like to use just so much easier.
2.) I've cruised through a lot of tutorials with no luck. I really would like a good book that can kind of walk me through this whole process, (social networking design via dreamweaver or muse or whatever) so that I can learn via this way. Anyone know of any good starter walkthrough books or tutorials I should watch? I've watched the create your first website with Adobe and I understand that stuff but the whole having users, and managing their data is throwing a wrench in my progress.
Thanks for any help

I'm trying to wrap a class/link around a custom button I created so that it will replace a floating 3rd party button such as;
<a class="ethor_widget_button"href="#"><img src="My_Order_Button.GIF" alt="Online Ordering"></a>
and when clicked, will trigger the main scripting code that I place in the page properties head section. Note: that the 3rd party originally requested that the main script be placed somewhere near the bottom of the <body></body> however muse does not seem to allow access to this area.
I did past the main script in the head and it sort of to works when previewed. I won't know for sure until I provide the class/link around the custom button and publish the site to BC.
I'm trying to open a 3rd party food item selection and ordering process skin over the site pages when the custom "Order" button is clicked.

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?
I created a few images (pages for a site) on photoshop and want to turn them into HTML code for a website- Can i Just upload the file into one of these programs and make a file with the correct code imediatly?
I was reading about using EDGE Reform but i did not understand if i can create the code with it, in the end it says it still needs to be sent to website developer after?

You need to look at Dreamweaver as a code editor. You need to learn to create good, clean HTML code with style sheets to make websites with Dreamweaver.
There are tutorials that will take you from a layered .PSD file to HTML. Here's a good one:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-builds/from-psd-to-html-building-a-set-of-website-d esigns-step-by-step/
Adobe's Muse is a semi-WYSIWYG website layout creator for small websites (1-5 pages). But there is no way you can go from a .PDS file to Muse, you have to start the site in Muse.
I have seen a few Muse sites and they're OK, but there is some code that Muse creates that is kind of odd. If you want a good, clean website that will work for you or your business, Dreamweaver is the best choice. Alternatively, you could hire a pro.

PHP code disappearing from Muse html

I'm having an odd error that I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I am using Adobe Muse and a server side CMS called Pulsepro. To run the CMS modules all I have to do is paste an embed line like the following:
<?php include("pulsepro/includes/gallery2.php"); ?>
I am placing this php code in an HTML snippet in muse and then exporting and uploading to server. On the server I have an .htaccess file with the following lines of code to make sure that the browser can find the PHP:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
When I go to my page, where the php should be is blank. Upon viewing source code it shows that the php include is completed deleted and just has a blank DIV. Now, the local file on my machine (the export from Muse) shows the correct php include line. Why is it that when the browser runs the code it removes the php code from the HTML file? If I put the same php line in a simple html file it runs fine.
Help? I've never had this issue with anything other than Muse.
Best,
Oliver

Browsers do not find or process PHP. PHP is found and processed by the server before it hits your browser.
The reason why you may not see anything where you placed the PHP is that it is unable to locate "pulsepro/includes/gallery2.php" or that included PHP file is simply rendering nothing.
What happens when you call "pulsepro/includes/gallery2.php" directly in your browser? Does it display anything?

My images look blurry when I export or publish my site from Muse. Why and how do I fix it?

My images look blurry, jagged, pixelated and low quality when I publish or export my site from Muse. Is there any way to avoid or fix this problem?

The primary cause of blurring images is the less than Photoshop-quality image downsampling algorithm currently used in Muse (that was compounded in early betas due to a bug in the JPEG compression library we were using at that time). Due to work we've done for Beta 7 to improve image encoding performance we now have the infrastructure in place to enable us to take a much better image resampler/resizer (after Beta 7), so this source of blurring will be addressed.
The other source of blurring is unique to opaque images containing line art or otherwise containing hard edges and large areas of solid color. When an image is opaque Muse will encode it as JPEG (if it's altered in Muse is a way that requires re-encoding). For line art this will introduce JPEG compression artifacts that can be noticeable depending on your eye and the specific image involved.
There are (at least) to ways to avoid these JPEG compression artifacts:
Resize your image before placing and avoid applying any effects (rounded corners, drop shadow, etc.) or doing any cropping or resizing in Muse. If the image is unaltered your original JPEG, PNG or GIF will be passed through unaltered.*
Put at least one pixel of transparency in your original image. (It could be a single 99% opaque pixel.) This will force Muse to encode as PNG. PNG compression is lossless and thus doesn't introduce any compression artifacts. However, an average PNG can be 5 times the size of a JPEG for the same image, so there is an impact to webpage download performance.
*For PSD files Muse has to encode the original PSD data into some web-friendly image format. If an image is resized in Photoshop and placed Muse won't resize/resample the image data, but it will encode it as JPEG or PNG depending on whether it contains transparency.

How can I delete old web site designs from Muse CC 2014.1. (13 Aug. 2014)?

Having recently installed the latest update to Muse and been obliged to re-name my web site file I thought it only appropriate to clean up the desktop. In DW there is a message window where a site can be deleted but I do not see a similiar method in Muse.

Hi,
You can look your computer for the .muse file of your site and delete it. Once you have deleted it, try to open it from Muse. You will get a pop up, which says the file/site is missing, would you like to remove it from the list. Click yes and it will be gone.

Cannot upload to ftp host from Muse

Win 7, Muse v 2014.1.1.6
I want to "upload to ftp host" from Muse so client can edit in browser. I'm using the same login info that I use with Filezilla. This message appears "Could not validate that the specified domain is associated with the FTP server and folder. Proceed anyway?" I click yes, progress bar shows files uploading but Adobe® Muse™ CC In-Browser Editing says "This Muse site was not exported using the Upload to FTP Host command. Please use the Upload to FTP Host command to publish the site, and then try again."
When I try to add the folder web files actually reside in, (/httpdocs) Muse says "This folder does not exist. Create it?" I select NO being afraid of goofing up the site.
Client wants to be able to update text on Lots.
Any suggestions?

Correct. Putting a slash in front of the folder indicates an absolute path, so we try and create a folder named "httpdocs" in the root folder of your FTP server - not what you want in this case. Removing the slash indicates a relative path - we look for the "httpdocs" folder in the working directory (the directory you are in when you first log in, probably something like '/public_html' or '/www'), and so finds your pre-existing folder.

Problems when Creating Pages from Templates in Dreamweaver 8

When creating new pages from templates in Dreamweaver 8(Ver
8.0.2). The full path for images is not created
i.e. in template the code is <img src="main_page_logo.png"
width="814" height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
In the new file the code should be :-
<img src="../../Templates/main_page_logo.png" width="814"
height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
but only :-
<img src="main_page_logo.png" width="814" height="172"
longdesc="Main Page Logo" /> is in the code.
but this does work in Version 8.0.
Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem

> Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
in the 8.0.2
release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
file must be
relative to the template document, not relative to where you
intend to save
the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
in your
template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.png"....
*unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
idea).
In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
category to NOT
MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
consequences
for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
site.

PNG Renders from 3Ds Max turn pale when placed in InDesign , Why?

Hello.
When I place my renders from 3DS Max 2010 in Adobe InDesign CS6 with OS Windows 7 they become pale, even when exported as a PDF. I have tried Googling solutions but this keeps bringing up transparency settings.
I know this information is vague but I do not know what other information is needed.
Does anyone know why this is happening or a solution?
Thank you

You'll have a difficult time finding many people who place PNG files directly in InDesign.
That said, here is something you should check out. There is a setting for Applying Gamma Correction in the options when placing a PNG file. It was posted as an obscure feature in the most recent InDesignSecrets.com podcast:
http://indesignsecrets.com/watch_listen/indesignsecrets-podcast-204
Worth checking out to see if that might work.
