'Live View' in cs5

Clicking on the 'Live View' button in CS5 results in the message 'Flash Plugin was not found.
To view Flash content in Live View install the Netscape/Firefox plugin from www.adobe.com'
I went to that link, installed Flash, but still get the same message.
Any ideas why I can't use the Live View button?
Thanks for any ideas and help!

Saw a response from a previous post - same question, but for CS4. The answer was that the individual had to call DW support & download a file. Since I had the same question I called DW support. I am using IE only, no other browser installed - here are the steps for the download/install that worked for me...
-go to adobe.com
-use search to find: tn_19166
-when the page comes up, click on 'Troubleshoot Flash Player installation / Windows' (below the red 'f')
-scroll down to the red heading 'Download Flash Player with the manual installer'
-Click on 'Flash Player 10 Plugin (All Other Windows Browsers, such as Firefox or Google Chrome)
-download and install, then re-boot

CS5 logout in Live View

Hi all,
I've been playing with the new live view in CS5 on my Drupal site. Really great, powerful stuff. I did run into a problem though. I was able to login to my site in Live View, but I can't seem to log out. I've closed the page and closed Dreamweaver, but when I start Dreamweaver up again and open the index page, I'm still logged in. Is there a way to dump the session from within Dreamweaver? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar enough with Drupal to know how you log out, but Live View works exactly like a browser, so you should be able to log out in the normal way. Don't forget that you need to hold down Ctrl/Cmd when clicking links or buttons in Live View.
If that doesn't work, the simple way to log out is to use Preview in Browser. You should be able to log out from there. You're not logged into Dreamweaver, but into your local testing environment.

Color issues w/ .png and .gif files in CS5.5 Live view

Hi All,
I am having a bunch of trouble with my .png and .gif image files in Dreamweaver CS5.5. In Dreamweaver's design view everything looks fine but when I preview my pages in Live View or in a browser the colors in my .png and .gif files are way off. All my images are designed in RGB.
Any info anyone has to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

GIFS contain a maximum of 216 colors (web safe palette)
PNG and JPG can contain 16 million colors (true color palette),
When you say the colors are "way off" we don't know what you mean.
Can you post a link to your web page?

DW CS5 - PHP in HTML file - no display in DW live view

Have DW CS5, Local IIS 7 (Win 7 64x) testing server (Server Model: PHP MySQL) set up and working. External browsers render .html files with PHP fine (URL=http://localhost/testphp.html), DW Live View will not parse/display the PHP with ".html" extension. No ".htaccess" file, DW PHP Tag Library has all PHP "Used In:" boxes checked. Example:
Example 1
File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View and external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.php:
Hello There
Hello World
Example 2
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
Hello World
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
Thanks in advance, have spent 2 days trying to accomplish!
Steve

File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is not PHP code
The red code part should read as to be classified as PHP script
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Apart from the same mistake as above, this file will not be recognised as containing PHP without the PHP extension. You can setup the server to accept HTML and to interpret same as PHP, but I would not recommend this.
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
This is amazing! With the code above? If you hadn't told me I would not have believed it. I tried it on my humble setup and you are correct. It works using the PHP file but not the HTML file. It doesn't matter, it is still not correct.
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
It is not up to DW to determine, it is the PHP server that determines whether PHP in an HTML file will be shown. Have a look here http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/p/html_php.htm .Once again, I do not recommend this
I hope this helps.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 not displaying fonts correctly in live view

I've integrated some web fonts into my website, which display properly in every browser on my computer (and more importantly) on on other computers properly; strangely enough, Dreamweaver CS5.5's live view doesn't display them as they should be displayed. The font Raleway is displayed as Times New Roman, and League Gothic as Helvetica. Stranger still, Ubuntu, which I use for my <body> element in general, works fine in all weights and styles. Any advice on how to get the other fonts to work properly?

The code for Exo is simply a link in the <head> element to Google Web Fonts; <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Exo:100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Same goes for Open Sans Condensed (sorry, I confused it with League Gothic in earlier comments): <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans+Condensed:700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
The code for Raleway, Ubuntu and Museo is here:
@font-face {
        font-family: "Ubuntu";
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: 300;
        src: local("☺");
        src: url(/webfontkit-20111222-160801/ubuntu-r-webfont.eot) format("woff");
        src: url(/webfontkit-20111222-160801/ubuntu-r-webfont.svg) format("svg");
@font-face {
        font-family: "Ubuntu";
        font-style: italic;
        font-weight: 300;
        src: local("☺");

@font-face {

        src: url(/MyFontsWebfontsOrderM3529046/webfonts/201E4B_0_0.woff) format("woff");
@font-face {
          font-family: "Raleway";
          font-style: light;
          src: local("☺");
          src: url(/webfontkit-20120225-212056/raleway-thin-webfont.ttf) format("ttf");
          src: url(/webfontkit-20120225-212056/raleway-thin-webfont.eot) format("eot");
          src: url(/webfontkit-20120225-212056/raleway-thin-webfont.woff) format("woff");
As you can see, these do reference TTF fonts on my remote server, as well as in my local folder (which mirrors my remote server, obviously).

Live View and Inspect BROKEN in DW CS5 & Drupal

I successfully navigated through the confusing instructions for setting up a local Drupal website in Dreamweaver's site manager and was very excited the first time I did a "discover" and DW found all the Drupal files on my local testing server. Yay!
I was even more excited when I tried live view and was able to click on elements in my Drupal page and see the CSS properties displayed. (similar to how Firebug in Firefox works)
Unfortunately, my excitement didn't last. The property inspector in DW CS5 is BROKEN. When you click on a specific element on the page, the "live code" displayed for that selection is wrong. DW tends to select far more code than the actual element chosen. As a result, the CSS properties displayed in the CSS panels are wrong for that particular element. Most of the time, they are the properties for the element (<div>) that WRAPS the selected element.
This makes the wonderful, Live View Inspect TOTALLY USELESS, for Drupal development. Didn't Adobe actually TEST this app with Drupal before distributing it? I just spent $600 on an upgrade to CS5 for NOTHING!

Not sure how I could translate the problem into a plain html file, since all the elements of Drupal are served up from a database and php server. Even if I could, I suspect it wouldn't reproduce the problem, since I have no issue with the Inspect button on static html files. One thing to note is that the box model on the selected element seems to accurately reflect the proper CSS settings, even though live code and CSS panels do not. So the out-of-sync issue seems to be between the box model and the live code and CSS panels.
It would be worth your while to set up a live Drupal site. Admittedly, there are a ton of different things going on within a Drupal page, including javascript, which I suppose could throw things out of sync. (although turning off javascript didn't fix the problem) Since Drupal is all open source, it would be easy for me to send a zipped codefile and mysql dump to your developers. Or you could recreate a site from Drupal.org. I have tested this against several iterations of Drupal with several different themes, some simple and some complex, and the problem is pretty consistent, although it behaves slightly differently depending on the Drupal theme being used.
On some themes, Inspect picks LESS than the proper amount of code. On some themes, it picks MORE. My theory is that it's some kind of mathematical or array issue with DW, because Firebug can reliably render all my Drupal sites with no issues at all.
Using the Tag Selector is difficult in most cases, because the Inspect selector tends to select an "outer" div instead of the one that is correct, so the correct selection is not shown on the tag selector list. (since the tag selector only shows outer divs to the currently selected one.) The convoluted workaround is to select an element INSIDE of the targeted element, and then backtrack up the Tag Selector tree. Selecting the proper code with the Tag Selector DOES appear to render the proper CSS and Live Code, but you obviously lose one of the biggest advantages of live view, which is to quickly find the proper element and see the visual box model rendered live.
This one issue will severely limit the attractiveness of DW to Drupal developers. But if you can get it working, I will be singing Dreamweaver's praises all over Drupal.org!
UPDATE: One other clue I just discovered while using several other Drupal themes: When selecting an element, live code appears to miss the first div and instead pick the following div. Example: (note, I'm using parentheses instead of brackets since this forum strips brackets)
(div id=first_div)some kind of text
(/div)
(div class=second_div)more text(/div)
The live code selection is in bold italic. Live code starts selecting AFTER the first div marker and grabs the start of the next div.
Sure seems like a mis-applied array element to me.

Live View not rendering in CS5

I have tried to use Live View to test my php code and have literally only put a line of php code in the body of my html which is
<?php
echo "This date is generated by php code ";
echo date ('d F, Y');
?>
Live View is processing but does not render the output but when I preview in browser it works just fine. There is nothing to it ie. no pictures or css etc so I cannot understand why it does not output. Please can anybody offer some advice, I am using CS5? Thank you.

Hi Randy, thanks for your reply. My file and extension is index.php with only that one line of code in for me to test. I am using MAMP and my servers are on. I have noticed that when I select the Live View Button, my page begins to render in the bottom right corner of the screen and the Address Bar changes from
localhost/testSite/index.php
to
localhost/testSite/TMPNZA6CQ.php
but then nothing appears in the Design Window to show the result of my php code ie. The Date.
However, when I preview in browser - the page displays as it should. It looks like there is a bug with my Live View in DW CS5.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

CS5 Dynamic Files Live View NOT WORKING

Hi, I just installed CS5 suite. I'm trying to work on a Drupal layout. I am trying to use a testing server off site. When I try to connect it says the site definition is not correct for this server, but when I go into server settings both the testing and remote server connections work and connect as expected.
Is this feature only available if you are running the live view from your local host? If so, do I need to set up the websites on my Mac in my php HTML server folder? That is a pain because I don't save my sites to my boot disk...
Jeff

Well, I found one problem. The upload is ftp but when it copied the testing server it listed the home url as ftp.domain.com instead of as www.domain.com
I updated that and it now connects, but the template page in any of my Drupal themes all show up as blank pages. I see that you can only edit the currently active theme. So far so good.

Menu bar not showing in IE, but in DW CS5 'live view' it's there.

I am having problems with my webpage, for some reason when I am in DW live view everything works,but when I go to preview in browser the menu bar doesn't show up. I have made sure that my local and testing server files are all synced. Here is a link to my html page.
https://acrobat.com/#d=L2NJRmXay62Osbh8HtrMtQ
my menu bar is an 'includes' file so that I only have to update the css one time and it will update every page on my website.
ANY help is appriciated!!

You would need to post your code into a reply using the web forum's double arrows > syntax highlighting > plain.
1) Did you name your parent pages with a supported extension to tell the server to parse server-side includes? Some common ones are .shtm, .shtml, php, or asp.
2) Does your web server support the use of server-side includes?
3) To preview includes locally, you need a local testing server installed on your computer. Do you have one?
4) Does your include file contain ONLY the menu HTML code and nothing else?

For some reason CS5 cannot find localhost in live view.Image shown

I was trying to open my wordpress blog in live view when I now get an error "Dreamweaver could not find the server "localhost". But it appears correctly in the address window.
I can see the wordpress blog fine in "localhost/wordpress" using IE8. I am using wamp local server which is testing OK and working. I am on XP system.
Also I notice the file folder colors in the file folder are
local view are green
remote view yellow
testing server red
I have reinstalled the program but no change any suggestions where to look.
Thanks bob

Hi Mike,
I found some two mistakes that should solve your problems:
1. typo: use "raw_value" with underscore, then the "category" works.
2. The array support of the Generic Panel is limited to semicolon-separated term lists in a text field,
where each term represent an array item.
For example the "supplemental categories" property should look like:
<xmp_property
     name="SupplementalCategories" category="external"
     label="$$$/stewart/Class=Classification:" type="bag" element_type="text"
     xmp_path="SupplementalCategories" ui:multiLine="true" ui:mru="true" description="..."
/>
Hope this helps,

let me know what you need to help me!!!! plz
98% of layout/display problems are caused by malformed code.
1) Ensure that your code is valid (error free).
     Code Validation Tools
     CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
     HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
2) Check that all paths to images, external style sheets and scripts are correctly pointing to your site folder and not to a file:/// on your local hard drive.
3) If that doesn't help, upload your problem page to a remote server space and provide us with a link so we can see it in our browsers.

DW CS5 - what determines the font specs for design view (without Live View on)?

Says it all above. The non-Live View font I get bears no relationship to the font spec'd (and displayed) for the page in Live View. I assume I have a preference set wrong but can't find it.Help appreciated. - Jim

You won't see any custom web fonts in Design View, if that's what you mean. Design View is not and never has been 100% reliable because it is not a browser. At best Design View is an approximation of what you can expect to see in some browsers.
