Is it easy to use dreamweaver with wordpress?

I have a blog on wordpress. Shoul i connect dreamweaver with it and if i can then how it is possible?  My website url is www.t20ipl7.com and how can i improve the design please suggest me

I would suggest finding a WordPress theme that you like, and using that.
Unless you already "know PHP" or have a year or two to focus on learning PHP, attempting to use DW to modify a WP theme is going to be an exercise in futility.

  • What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress?

    I am a Designer and Developer/programmer. This is a complete workflow question: What is the Design to Deployment Workflow using DW with WordPress? For example, is it:
    PS/IL > DW > WP? (Photoshop or Illustrator, Dreamweaver, WordPress?)
    Or is Edge Reflow inserted between PS and DW?
    PS > ER > DW > WP?
    Are these workflows iterative and, whats the word, recursive - we are able to go back and forth?
    My understanding is that the Edge tools are not up to the coding standards of DW, and ER > DW (Edge Reflow to Dreamweaver) is not seamless or even practical.
    Where does the Stack come in? MAMP (or LAMP/WAMP) of course, jQuery/jQuery UI, WordPress and other items; how integrated are these things?
    I used to be a Flex developer and quite comfortable with the Design to Dynamic Deployment workflow of Illustrator or Photoshop to Flash Catalyst to Flash Builder; moreover, I thought the Eclipse IDE was excellent with its database introspection capabiliities, debugging etc. Adobe really pushed this workflow, then instead of innovating and standing behind its own product with 98% market penetration, Adobe disembowelled Flash right before everyones eyes.
    What about Prototyping, which is certainly part of the process? Fireworks is on the kibosh. Illustrator, while excelling at some aspects falls short of making a functional prototype (unless you're tying in Acrobat to link the pages), and while Photoshop is Edge Reflows darling, Edge seems redundant with DW and spits out twacky code.
    (Muse of course is unusable for professional developers, but it makes you wonder why some of those UI elements where not employed in DW whose interface seems antiquated by comparison).
    It seems Adobe is bloody all over the place, more like a rabbing drunk with a microphone rather than the dependable go-to software company for creatives the world over.
    In my opinion, workflow from beginning to end is important. Having a million different options to try to accomodate everyone is not. Some guidance in this department is greatly appreciated!
    Best,
    Dylan

    I have not used Edge Reflow myself.  Nor do I espically like WordPress.  But my typical workflow is:
    PS for Design Concept and web images.
    DW for CSS, HTML & JavaScript.
    3rd party editors like Zend Studio & Navicat for PHP & MySql development.

  • Editing pages created using dreamweaver with microsoft's visual studio express

    Here's a quick, somewhat vague, question for anyone who might have an answer. Is there a trick to editing pages created using dreamweaver with Microsoft Visual Studio Express? The reason I ask is I recently finished a web site for my first client who now wants to make edits herself using the program she uses, that being Microsoft. I thought it would be as easy as pulling the html files from the server (or the usb flash drive i gave her), making changes and then putting them back to the server, but apparently she is having some problems. I'm meeting with her soon. I have no experience with any other programs, other than Adobe, so I don't know how much good I'll be in helping her. Maybe it's an easy question, maybe not. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

    Dreamweaver template commands are all wrapped in HTML comments, so they
    shouldn't cause any problems. They should simply be treated as comments.
    However, the concept of editable and locked regions will be ignored.
    Hi David, I meant the templates with the dwt extension, not the html files that are created from them. The full version of VS will recognize the dwt extension as 'Dynamic Web Template' but as this is a microsoft extension it does not recognize the code for editing and shows a large number of errors, (before anyone comments the dwt file extension is used by a number of other programs, all referring to a different file type).

  • Using Dreamweaver with MAMP

    Hi, I can't edit my CSS in Dreamweaver. The error message tells me the file can't be found.
    I can pull up the CSS in Dw but it won't save it.

    Hi, I'm working locally on a Wordpress site via Dreamweaver CS4 in Live View. I can access my CSS files. However, I can't save to my CSS files. e.g. I can't save a background image in my CSS. I select a file and I get a warning - see below. I'm using MAMP as my local server. It's running from my applications folder and the wordpress docs are in the hdocs subfolder.
    Here is the message I get:

  • Newbie with Mac iWeb, but have used Dreamweaver in Windose ......

    Hi all, i used Dreamweaver with good effect on my Windose Lap top, i now have the free App "iWeb" on my new Mac.
    I have had a quick look at what is can be done with iWeb, it seems to have a few Templates built in, but i don't see any facilities to use Templates from anywhere else or any possibility of Editing any Web Sites i have previously created.
    Have i missed something significant, i guess to have the same facilities given me by Dreamweaver i have to spend some more money !, or Dual Boot with Boot Camp.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    tim

    There are 3 themes in iWeb that can be customized extensively by the user: Black, White and Modern Frame. The Formal theme can also be customized in all page layouts except for its blog page. Each theme will have a different navbar font and color scheme. So choose the one that would work best with your design.
    There are numerous 3rd party themes that can be purchase and added to iWeb. Just do a Google search for "iWeb 3 themes".
    Does Dreamweaver have a "crossover" deal where you can get the Mac version for a greatly reduced price if you already have the Window version like Adobe does for Photoshop?

  • Unable to upload files using Dreamweaver Ultra Dev 4 (Was: Trying to upload files.)

    My service provider has recently updated and now I can no longer upload to my site using my antequated but easy to use Dreamweaver Ultra Dev 4.
    I am trialling the current Dreamweaver, but of course it is massively different!  I've just tried uploading a file, and although it seemed to go OK, no error
    messages etc - it's not made it onto my internet site. Any suggestions please?

    First define your site in DW.  Go to Site > New Site or Manage Sites.  See Screenshots.
    Servers:  Enter your remote server's log-in credentials.  Root Directory is whatever your hosting provider told you to use.  This varies by web host and could be public_html, htdocs, www or none at all.  If unsure, contact your host.
    Hit the Test button to see if you can connect to your server.  If not, click on More Options.

  • Connecting Dreamweaver with Phone Gap Build

    Creating my first mobile app using Dreamweaver CS 6. I've created a site using dreamweaver with the DW JQuery Mobile sample. I've also created a PhoneGap account (free). When I try to connect with Phonegap Build it says "Project Settings file was not found for this project" and tells me to select "Create as a new project" which I did and then clicked "Continue". The spinning pole above spins for several minutes and then tells me it must be having a server error. It's done this several times over the past few days...sigh.
    I then tried going to Phonegap and it gives me an option to upload a zip file, but what is supposed to be in the zip file and how do I create it in Dreamweaver? I can't find any documentation to help get me started.
    I'd really appreciate any direction you can offer.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    Hi,
    I don't really understand your question about the site root access. The mobile app is in a folder which is part of the main web site.
    Here's 3 images, the first shows the start when I select Phone Gap Build, the second shows where it is trying to create a new project and the third is the failure message that shows after several minutes. - Thanks. Tony

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • Using PSP with Dreamweaver

    Using Dreamweaver to create PSP pages can become effortless and allow developers to rapidly generate thin-client, web based applications. Anything that can be accomplished with an ASP, PHP, JSP or any type of dynamic web page that also incorporates Javascript, can easily be created with PSP.
    I've proven to management at my company that given similar application requirements, writing and deploying PSP pages is a much faster development cycle. And, in ALL cases, execution time is much faster and with a smaller application footprint.
    When using these scripts together with Dreamweaver you can create a Rapid Application Development environment all by using PL/SQL Server Pages.
    The batch file LOAD_PSP.bat will create a PSP file from your HTM file, creates a timestamped backup copy, and loads the PSP file into the database - all fast and easy.
    Copy these batch files to your development directory and create a backup directory called Backup. Simply modify these batch files by adding the service name of your database to DB_NAME and adding your development username and password to the PSP_CONNECT variables. You should also change the path of your Oracle Home for the ORACLE_HOME variable as well.
    To use these batch files, simply open a DOS Window and change it to your development directory where the batch files reside. Execute the batch files with the syntax, "LOAD_PSP web_page [optional connect string]" and the batch file will execute (don't add the .htm extension).
    To allow you to maintain some sense of versioning, use the CH_PSP.bat script. This script simply adds a CHKPNT extension to the file name in the Backup folder. The reason for this is that LOAD_PSP will still copy PSP backup files of those compilations that fail and these should be removed. When you application is working, you can create a "CHECKPOINT" of the PSP file that you know works. This allows you to only maintain backup copies that you know work. Simply use the syntax "CH_PSP web_page". To perform a CHECKPOINT on all files in a folder, use the syntax "CH_PSP /ALL".
    To view help for each, simply run the batch file followed by a /? or /help.
    In closing, challenge a Java developer to create a dynamic, web-based, database driven app from scratch and win the top 3 challenges: Development time, size of application and speed of the application. I'll bet the PSP app wins all 3 every time.

    Yes, I can bring the CF administrator screen. It asked me for
    a password, the one I entered during the install of CF.
    No I have created a mdb database and in the administrator
    screen I registered the data source.
    I am using the built-in CF web server.
    I was trying to create a directory for a testing web page (
    just to get me started...) in my computer, tipically in the
    "myDocuments" folder and then upload it to the CFweb server.
    Now I am reading the CF documentation in the adobe site,
    using the samples they provide.
    I guess it will be a long way to learn but I will do it

  • Using cartweaver with dreamweaver cs3

    cartweaver seems like a decent out of the box ecommerce
    solution, but how is it while using dreamweaver. Is it easy to
    integrate the code into the existing pages? Is it a series of
    include files that require a hand coders touch to modify
    successfully to look seamless with existing site?

    Hello,
    I use Cartweaver but have not used eCart, though I have heard
    many good
    things about it.
    There's a lot of good info on both websites.
    Perhaps someone will describe their experience with eCart.
    I can talk about CW.
    First, let me say the support is excellent.
    I would suggest you take a look through the CW newsgroup.
    It's a great way
    to see what kind of questions people are asking so you can
    get a feel for
    what it can and can't do. This will really help you, I think.
    news://support.cartweaver.com/
    Read the PHP newsgroup, specially posts by "Tom Muck"
    I currently use the ASP version, but I think the PHP version
    may be a better
    choice.
    The reason is that there appears to be more users and thus,
    more scripts and
    modifications available, posted in the newsgroups, to do some
    very nice
    things.
    CW is very easy to set up. Run the extension and it loads all
    needed pages
    into your site in DW.
    It adds a nice toolbar in DW where you can easily insert
    functions on any
    page.
    The admin section is very thorough and intuitive.
    The clients I have love it.
    It's simple to add or edit products, photos, options, skus
    and so on. You
    can change the layout of the result pages just by selecting
    how many columns
    you want on the page, and there are a number of other
    options.
    It's easy to look at customer and order information as well.
    To implement CW into your design, it's very easy to change
    the CSS in the
    included stylesheet.
    To change functions or certain aspects of the layout, you do
    need to get
    into the code a bit.
    For example, you can set the results pages to show x amount
    of products per
    page with a simple entry in the Admin section.
    If there are more products than allowed to be shown on one
    page, a "paging
    links" menu allows navigation to next page. It is a simple
    "Previous, 1, 2,
    3, Next" text menu.
    I wanted to make this look like buttons, so I had to go into
    the script that
    draws this on the page and change the code to insert
    <li> instead of just
    inserting text. I also had to change the script to use an
    unordered list for
    the menus instead of plain text links with line breaks
    between them.
    This wasn't very hard to do, but it depends on your
    understanding of server
    side language. Again though, any questions I've asked in the
    newsgroup or
    through a support ticket were answered very quickly and were
    very specific.
    "Change line 86 in something.asp to this", for example.
    There are a couple of things CW doesn't do that I hope will
    be in future
    versions:
    Ability to use PayPal's Website Payment's Pro.
    Ability to link to UPS, FedEx, etc to get real time shipping
    charges. I know
    there can be issues with this, but some clients want it.
    As far as what you can do with CW or eCart, definitely take a
    look at their
    customer examples:
    http://www.cartweaver.com/customers/sitesusingcw.cfm
    http://www.webassist.com/professional/products/productdetails.asp?PID=123
    Then click "showcase".
    Here is a site I just did with CW, if interested:
    http://www.bestbabystuffonline.com/
    Take care,

  • How can I trigger a lightbox slide show with a single image using Dreamweaver?

    I'm trying to build a page for a cosmetics company in which clicking on a color swatch opens a lightbox-style slide show of model shots using that color makeup. Each swatch should trigger a different slideshow. I'm using Dreamweaver (CS6), and I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this, but I haven't figured it out yet. (It would be a snap in Flash, but alas, the site needs to work on a broad range of devices).
    I'd appreciate any ideas, and please make your instuction easy to follow if possible—pretend you're talking to a dog, or an eighty-six-year-old—because I may not be as experienced as I ought to be. Probably not.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    best,

  • Can't Use Dreamweaver Flash Embedding with ExternalInterface

    I've been trying to use ExtermalInterface to call ActionScript 3 functions from JavaScript and have been having a problem when embedding SWF files using Dreamweaver. When I use the sample code at the bottom of the ExternalInterface docs page (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html) the JavaScript/ActionScript function calls work fine. But when I insert a SWF with Dreamweaver CS4 they don't. They do actually work in Internet Explorer 8 but not in Firefox 3.5, Safari 4, or Chrome 3.
    The problem has to do with the the way the SWF embedding is done. On the ExternalInterface page mentioned above a different form of the <object/embed> tags is used than in DW. Here's the sample code from the docs page:
         <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
                 id="ExternalInterfaceExample" width="500" height="375"
                 codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab">
             <param name="movie" value="ExternalInterfaceExample.swf" />
             <param name="quality" value="high" />
             <param name="bgcolor" value="#869ca7" />
             <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
             <embed src="ExternalInterfaceExample.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#869ca7"
                 width="500" height="375" name="ExternalInterfaceExample" align="middle"
                 play="true" loop="false" quality="high" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
                 type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
                 pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
             </embed>
         </object>
    In DW, instead of an <embed> tag a second object tag is inserted. I did find that by manually giving the second <object> tag its own ID (a different ID from the one given the first tag by DW I could make the function call work in FF. But you would then have to choose the ID based on the browser. And, worse, that technique doesn't work in Chrome or Safari.
    So, the workaround seems to be to use the style of embedding used on the ExternalInterface page. But, I don't like that approach for several reasons. First, the page  won't tell the user they need to upgrade their FlashPlayer if that's a problem. Second, you have to manually copy/past the embedding code instead of using DW's nice menu option. And I suspect there may be other benefits to the DW approach,
    So, is there a way to make the DW embedding style work with ExternalInterface in all the major browsers??

    Very interesting, thanks for your insight. Dreamweaver does seem to be a black sheep in this regard. Curiously, one of the reasons I wanted to stick with DW is because it highlights the <embed> tag in yellow—which normally means an HTML error. Not being entirely up on the ins and outs of the embed tag I thought maybe it's deprecated or something so wanted to avoid it. But now, I've found that it's apparently the right way to do things.
    I did a little testing; here are my results...
    My SWF was originally generated in FlexBuilder (as an ActionScript project) so I copied over the Flex-generated HTML page and modified it for use with ExternalInterface. That works fine in all four of the browsers I mentioned in my original post.
    Next, I grabbed an HTML page generated by Flash's Publish menu option and made the same modifications. Again, everything was copacetic.
    Each of the three tools (Flash, Flex & Dreamweaver) generate different HTML code for embedding a SWF file and only two of them work with ExternalInterface. I guess I'll steer clear of Dreamweaver's Insert-> Media -> SWF menu option in the future. This cost me an entire day of hair-pulling.
    But thanks for your tip!

    Hi Cereskit
    Thanks again for the message. I've done the updates and have the App Store on my desktop. I went into it and searched for imovie but couldn't find the basic imovie, which I presume is what I'd need for editing?, rather than imovie 11 for £10.49, which is for making trailers, it seems. Also, were you saying that imovie would be free?
