Learning path for Dreamweaver newbie?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a bit of advice one how to get started on a learning path for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
I want to be able to develop e-commerce sites and plan to use Business Cataylst to do the backend stuff.
I developed a few thing in Flash (CS3) a few years back and have a background in IT (although my programming experience is dated!) so I'm not a complete novice but know nothing of HTML/CSS.
I wonder if anyone could give me a steer on what I should concentrate on learning and if there are any particular books/resources I should consider?
Thanks in advance and regards.

Hello
I think you answered your own question. I came to DW as a coding novice and a DW novice and think that I got caught up with learning DW. That set me back almost a year, I reckon. The more you know about HTML and CSS and other web technologies, the better partner DW will be. If you are familiar with Photoshop as a digital editor then it would be like saying the more you know about photography, image processing and camera technique, the easier it will be to learn. Or maybe, with Illustrator, the more you know about printing and color, the easier that will be. Dreamweaver however, in my experience is the least intuitive software unless, you have a good grasp of HTML and CSS.
If you learn well with books, then David Powers' has written a good DW manual but there are plenty others. If you are OK with online learning then you're in luck, there are masses of resources out there. You could try http://www.w3schools.com/ The thing I like most about that resource is the try-it-yourself onine editor that lets you test the each that the lesson contains.
Once you get started on something and can focus in a bit more, you will be able to narrow down your searches but even then, I'm sure you will find plenty. After that, use this forum.

Learning Path for a Developer

Hi all,
I work for a university as the only abap develoepr in our SCLM team. ABAP and Web Dynpro are both easy for me to learn. However, I often get frustrated when writing reports and wd application. One problem is that it is time consuming to find data, for example, student anticipated graduation date. I have to ask my boss for help as I am unable to figure it out by myself. Feel very bad about this. Another major problem is that none of built=in function modules has an explanation on its function or in/out parameters. I don't know what to do without an example or help.
So I am looking for advices regarding what I should learn after ABAP language and what book I should buy.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I would suggest to make use of the cookbooks that we provide on our BPX site https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/bpx-highered (section Student Lifecycle Management Best Practices, Implementation Guidelines and Tutorials ).
Plus you could read documentation about the SAP HR-PD framework where SAP SLcM is based on (for the student accounting part you should know that it is related/integrated with FICA. Also for FICA there a numerous of books, documentation available).
Some tips/tricks;
- All off the SAP SLcM transactions start with PIQ*
- Tables start with T7piq*
- Most of the FM start with HRIQ* (includes with RHIQ)
- Swithc framework objects starts with ISHERCM
- Most of the SLcM infotypes are in the17* range
- SAP SLcM object navigator package is named PMIQ* here you will find all of the SLcM related programs.
Hope this helps
Rob

Hi I am trying to find absolute path for emmet extension dreamweaver cc 2014.1

Hi I am trying to find absolute path for emmet preferences in dreamweaver cc 2014.1 tried stack overflow
still cant get it to work get error message folder not found. Any help greatly appreciated thanks.

"...emmet preferences..."? You mean http://www.emmett.io? Have you asked them?
Anyhow, the docs say this -
Emmet for Dreamweaver supports extensions: you should open Commands > Emmet > Emmet Preferences dialog and enter absolute path to extentions folder. Unfortunately, Dreamweaver doesn’t support folder picking dialog so you have to type it manually.

Is there a substitute tool path for "Image Adjustments Variations-" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition?

Is there a substitute tool path for "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" in Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition that brings similar results? I was used to using Image>Adjustments>Variations… in Photoshop CS4 Standard Standard Addition quite often. I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition to get the 64bit memory architecture compatibility on my Macbook Pro, booted in Mountain Lion. I see now that Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition has the "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" tool path removed.
I don't have Photoshop CS6 Extended, which has the all new Image>Adjustments>Variations… tool path. I only have Photoshop CS6 Standard Addition so, if anyone can share with me a substitute tool set that can give me similar results to using the old "Image>Adjustments>Variations…," I would appreciate it.

Thanks, R_Kelly.
You helped me to start exploring other tools in the Image>Adjustments Menu. "Image>Adjustments>Color Balance…" seemed to help me get the results that "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" used to deliver. "Image>Adjustments>Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" also got me to where I wanted to be in desired adjustments. I used to get the results I wanted in brightness, contrast, mid-tone adjustment, and color balance buy using just Curves, Variations, and Hue/Saturation. Now I'll use "Color Balance…" and "Photo Filter>Warming Filter (85)" along with Curves, and Hue/Saturation. I also have learned to use "Levels" some more to get the same effect as Adjustments>Variations…" I always thought there were more technically precise adjustment tools to get the same effect as "Image>Adjustments>Variations…" Adobe dropping Variations in Photoshop CS6 Mac version forced me to learn better image adjustment approaches for pre press color correction and image warming. I feel confident now to make Photoshop CS6 my prime-time work tool and move the Photoshop CS4 launch icon off of my Mac OS app Dock. Thanks again, R_Kelly.

All offering not displaying in Learning Path

Hi,
We have created a course which contains 3 offerings (with different delivery modes), each offering have 1 class.
When we attach this course to a learning path and an employee subscribes to this learning path, only one offering is getting displayed to employee.
Can we show all offerings under a course in a learning path.
Regards
Manuj

Hi, Manuj.
Your Learners should be able to see all Offerings that have Classes that are currently active (have no end date or an end date in the future).
Here are three things to check:
The Learner you are testing with has the appropriate Learner Access defined if the Restricted check box is selected for the Classes that belong to the Offerings
The Classes that you've created under the three Offerings are currently active
You are within time period set for the Enrollment Dates listed for each of the active Classes

Wishlist for Dreamweaver CS5 (from Adobe Website) - Don´t let ADDT die.

Wishlist for Dreamweaver CS5 from adobe site.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Hi Günter
It's been a long time since I've been here. Hope life is treating you well.
Tried a lot of other DW extensions in the mean time
None of them match the robustness of ADDT
Most are buggy, one shot ponies that miss the bigger picture of providing integrated tools for development. All I've tried are a closed shop of functions and variables that you have to navigate by hand if you want any sort of amended functionality - on the whole a pretty poor lot.
And, I've looked at many of the off the shelf offerings that Adobe had told us that are clients wanted rather than bespoke solutions.
And no, most don't want them - they still just want concise tools/interfaces that are easy to learn, use and do what THEY want them to do. Not behemoth collections of options, bells an whistles. Naturally some do and I'm happy to oblige (who wants to write a forum from scratch!). So its not clear cut either way as seemed to be implied a year or so ago.
Yes, it would be nice just to have the toolkit useable from CS5
- but as ever, the end users are out of the picture. Maybe there will be a new version, or completely new tools - that would be most welcome.
We still need good data tools. Integration with databases (none of my clients want to pull data from HTML tables - no matter how clever that is) and
CSS Style frameworks that take the grind out of positioning and styling every little item.
Gadgets and Gizmos - YUI3 looks like the one with the most backing - judging from YUI2 - have to keep and eye on that.
Let's hope Adobe have finally put back some functionality for php mysql developers with CS5
and the the wilderness that DW has been in for the last couple of years grows some strong roots
best regards

Does JMF Support multilingual absolute paths for video playback?

Hi everyone,
I hope I can find some answer here.
Does JMF supports multilingual paths for videos? E.g. I have a video located by the following URL:
G:\video\Stürmische\video.mp4
When I try to open this video by JMF, I get the following Exception: Problem playing video+
javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for :file:/G:/video/Stürmische/video.mp4_
When I use the same video.mp4 file with path containing only simple latin letters, it's played normally.
Is there any problem with JMF regarding to multilingual paths?
Many thanks,
Armine

I assume that it's a JMF cons. and IMHO, multilingual support for video paths/names should be added in it.Several things...
1) JMF is designed to play both local files and RTP/RTSP file sources. As such, it uses URLs as resource locators. It makes perfect sense to make that design decision.
2) URL encoding only allows alphanumeric characters and a handful of special characters. Considering the internet was invented by the United States army and our keyboards don't have those symbols, it makes perfect sense to make that design decision.
3) Most importantly, JMF hasn't been updated since 2002 and development has been completely discontinued... so "multilingual support" won't ever be added to it.
And it isn't multilingual support you're asking for, it's support for non-ASCII characters.
It is my understanding that you can take a path like:
G:\video\Stürmische\video.mp4
Run it through some encoding procedure, and come out with a usable URL like:
G:%5Cvideo%5CSt%FCrmische%5Cvideo.mp4
Which I got by using the encoder on the following website:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
Coincidentally, had you done the research that I suggested you do, you might have learned that Java already has something built in to handle encoding non-compliant URLs for you.
http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/java/net/URLEncoder.html
So, I'd expect you could use the URLEncoder class to implement suggestion #3 from my previous post.

What can he do in this case?
For this manager should ask content developer/OLM admin to register this course in OLM then futher he could assign to employee.
how can he suggest offline training which not part of OLM?
Manager can suggest to go for this PPT/PDF/Anyother as offline traninng if required.

Path for Content Management System (CMS)?

Hi All!
Has anyone configured Authoring environment for learning Solution. Can anyone please provide me the step-by-step details.
Also can anyone please explain the process of setting up the path for CMS (Content Management System) Address in KM for ECC6.
Ours is a EP7.0,ECC6.0 (NW2004s) new implementation.
Thanks
regards
Madhu

Hi,
"CMS" would in the first place only be a generic term that you can call any product that manages content.
At SAP I am aware of the following similar terms:
KM - Java-based CMS, integration framework for 3rd party CMS's and more of SAP NetWeaver, runs in the Portal
CM - The architectural part of KM that deals with basic content management services. With additional services and TREX this combines to KM.
DMS - "Document management system", R/3-based system for management of engineering documents, bases on "KPro" in Web AS ABAP, part of mySAP PLM, integrates into KM via repository manager
KW - KPro-based system for managing SAP-related documentation and training
Content Server - Object storage location for KPro-managed documents (see DMS)
KPro - "Knowledge Provider", deep level very generic set of ABAP methods to manage document attachment objects in an R/3 environment
Hope that clarifies...
Regards, Karsten

Need Guidance on Oracle SCM functional learning paths

Hi,

Will you have access to both arrays at the same time? In that case, this could be your plan:
- move ocr and voting disk to new volumes according to metalink note 428681.1
you can replace the ocr with the system up and running but you'll have to shut down the clusterware for moving the voting disk
- migrate asm (online)
create the new volumes on the new array, then perform an 'alter diskgroup DGNAME add disk '/dev/dsk/newdevice'', wait until the rebalancing is done, then do 'alter diskgroup DGNAME drop disk /dev/dsk/olddisc''. Do this with both diskgroups, wait until the rebalancing is over and unplug the old array
Bjoern
edit: in 11g you can even move the voting disk online, you only have to shut down the clusterware on 10g rac
