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.

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.

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.

Cannot Publish new site from Muse. Error Messages/Adobe ID.

I'm trying to publish a new site from Muse. I done this before over the last year with no problems. Today when I choose "Publish," a login box appears with the message, "Please enter your Adobe Business Catalyst password to upgrade your account to use Adobe ID. Once upgraded, future interactions with Adobe Business Catalyst will require your Adobe ID credentials." When I do so, I receive an error message that states in its entirety "Unknown Error." I've confirmed that my account is in good standing (Creative Cloud subscriber). Any ideas about what's going on?

Hello

Hide HTML extension on Business catalyst site from Muse

Good morning,
After done a layout design on adobe muse, Normally I publish the site to my third party hosting. It's amazing! that people will not know that i am using which platform to design this website unleash i put the design by muse badge. I done that by add some code to .htaccess on my hosting.
But my hosting speed might not good, so I try to upload to adobe business catalyst, I would like to ask is there anyway to hide the HTML extension like i used to be done on my previous hosting? I tried to upload the .htaccess too, but it not work.
I think this feature is should be include in business catalyst.@@

Hey David,
People in industry though can spot a Muse site from a mile away The markup (code) it produces is not that great and it does not form things that great and you are limited to what you can do such as this.
BUT
BC itself is totally supports none file extension URL's. Login to the BC site, go to the page in the site manager and edit the URL. I think you need to enable editing in the site settings and the cross syncing thing Muse apparently supports now but just know it will be a bit of a clunky process.

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.
Go to Site > New Site. See screenshot.

Moving sites from MX to 8

I just upgraded from Dreamweaver MX to 8 and I can't see how
to import my sites to the new version. There must be some way to do
this. I don't want to have to set them all up one by one.
Thanks!

Never mind - I found them hiding in a little pane on the side
of my screen.

How can I create a hyperlink to a thirth party WEB site from Muse?

Hello, I just started using muse a week a go, I´m almost done with my first site but I´m trying to use the One Gennius Gallery and create a hyperlink to a thirth party WEBsite but it only shows option to go to a page within the same site, not to anotherone

Just follow these steps:
1. Go to plan view and create a blank page wherever you like.
2. Name this page according to the target, you want to link to (optional).
3. Rightclick the icon of this new page and choose "Menu Options/Include Page without Hyperlink".
4. Go to your site menu and localize the entry of this particular page.
5. Select this entry, go to the command strip on top of the Muse window and enter the address of the homepage you want to link to into the "Hyperlinks" field.

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.

Moving photos from iPhoto to Dreamweaver?

We have been using iPhoto, together with Pixelmator, to process and store the art photos that we want to post to our website. Of course all the Dreamweaver reference books assume one is starting with Photoshop.
Exporting from iPhoto directly to Dreamweaver is awkward (thumbnails need to be resized, etc). Presumably we should first export the photos to some Adobe program.
We would want to be able to manipulate the photos in various ways, such as occasionally some resizing or cropping, overlaying a "sold" sign in the corner of some of the photos, etc., but would not need to do major editing.
This would be followed by export of thumbnails and full photos to Dreamweaver.
Which of the many Adobe programs would be best, as well as user-friendly, for such tasks?

I recommend Photoshop for optimizing photos.
The actions panel allows you to record a series of commands (scale, crop, adjust levels, etc...). Then using the automate feature, you can batch process a whole folder of photos while you're getting coffee. Photoshop Extended.

I'm trying to publish a test site from Muse and it won't work

I made changes to an existing test site and I want to publish the updates so my client can approve. I told it to publish, but in the "Publish to" and "Data Center" fields, it says "Query Failed". Any suggestions? Thanks!

Usually a connection problem. Try closing down Muse and starting it again.

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.

When i publish from muse ecommerce form in BC gets deleted

I made part of the site in muse and part in BC, now when I publish from muse it deletes the e-commerce form making checkout unavailable.
How can i avoid this?

Hi there!
Sorry fellas, but I have the same problem. Forms that have been used scores of times are still deleted when I update the site from Muse. This fix does not work.
BC is of very little use to me, if I have to rebuild my forms every time I change a bit of text. I'd rather not go through the hassle of moving to a different provider at this stage. Any other ideas?
Thanks

Can you let me know if its possible to import a muse site from Business catalyst in to Dreamweaver?

Can you let me know if its possible to import a muse site from Business catalyst in to Dreamweaver? I have published a site using Muse to Business catalyst but would like to use FTP in dreamweaver to administer and edit.

I think you could but you wouldn't like what you see in Design View. Why do you want to do this?

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.
