New Site Folders
I'm new to Dreamweaver and have spent a few days with the
online video and other tutorials. I'm having trouble with John
Vares' tutorial for setting up a new site. The instructions direct
the user to work with the Site Manager. I follow all the
instructions and the site is properly created. But my site does not
include all the folders shown in FIG 2 of John's sample site:
NEW
SITE TUTORIAL
Is the Site Manager supposed to generate a standard set of
file folders and necessary files for a new site or do we include
those manually? If manually are there "best practices" or "industry
standards" for setting up the site folder structure?
> Is the Site Manager supposed to generate a standard set

No. you create the files yourself.
BUT- in the case of that tutorial, there is a link at the
start of it for a
zipped set of practice files.
Sample files:
* cafe_townsend_cs3.zip (ZIP, 2.1MB)
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/developer/cafe_townsend_cs3.zip
unzip that file inside of the "local site folder" you've
created, then
follow the tutorial.

I bought a new iMac. iWeb and all its folders migrated over, no problem, but I cannot bring up my website - it only seems to allow for creating a new site.
You need the 'Domain' file in which iWeb keeps its data. This lives by default in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb. You need to locate it on the old machine and copy it to the same position in the new machine. Note that it is the Library folder in your Home folder, not the one at root level.
This folder is hidden on Lion and above; to access it, in the Finder go to the ‘Go’ menu and hold down the Option (Alt) key; the Library folder will appear as a choice. In Mavericks you can make it permanently visible - open your Home Folder the from the Finder's View menu, choose show View Options and check Show User Library. -
When I define new sites in Dreamweaver CS3 no folders such as
Images, Templates, Scripts or cgi bin are being created. Why is
this happening?

They aren't created by dreamweaver.
If you start a page from one of the built in Sample pages, dw
will create
some folders to store the images and css in.

Do not see image and content folders after creating a new site
Why didn't I see the image folder, content folder......aftter I create a new site?
DW does not create any folders for you, except those used by DW code (Templates and SpryAssets for example).
It's up to you to organize your site the way that makes the most sense to you by adding in folders like images, content, pages, etc.
Just don't move files out of any of the automatically generated folders that DW does give you, that can break things (especially Template .dwt files). -
Bookmark folders that I had previously created have disappeared so I can't access any of my bookmarks. The process I used to create new subject bookmarks doesn't seem to be there anymore. The apple support doesnt mention creating new bookmark folders or what to do if you lose your bookmark folders.
Hi,
As you just upgarded to Windows 7, please make sure SP1 is also installed on all systems and install the following hotfix rollup for Windows 7 SP1:
An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us
There was a known issue on Windows 7 which affected shared folders, that newly created or deleted files are not reflect in network folder immediately, which seems similar to your error. If issue still exists after SP1 and hotfix rollup please help confirm:
1. If this issue occurs only on DFS folder in accessing with \\domain.com\namespace. Could you reproduce the same issue in accessing \\server\sharefolder?
2. Will the same issue occurs after disabling Offline Files if it is enabled.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected] -
WPC Problem after creation of new Site - no "Edit Page" Link available
Hello,
I have a problem with WebPageComposer (WPC) and Edit Page link.
We are currently on EP 7.01 SP6.
(I have the wpc_editor_role for my user)
I am doing the following:
1) I create a new site, (derived permissions for all folders is wpc_editor_role - Full Control),
2) I Create some article within its Site Content folder
3) I create a new web page in its Web Pages folder
4) assign the article to the web page and publish it
5) add web page within Site Navigation as a new node
6) I used Publish Site Navigation
After clicking on the web page within Web Pages folder it does a preview.
Our older WPC content does display the Edit Page link - the new one does not.
What step am I missing here?
Maybe it is an upgrade issue?
Best Regards, Thomas
P.S.: copying one of our older WPC pages into my new site + renaming it via KM + removing old content + assigning new one does display the correct link after publishing it! Any indeas?Dear Thomas,
It sounds like your are doing all the right actions, I don't think that your missing any step in the process, but please consider the following.
Are you using a custom WPC layout template? The reason I ask is that I have developed a number of WPC custom templates and in some circumstances I have needed to remove/hide the "pageheader" section of the template. This action removed the links from displaying at the top of the page. Try creating and publishing a web page using a SAP standard WPC layout and see if the edit link appears once the page is published.
The editing and preview page views do not display the "edit" link, they only display the other page header links that can be assigned to a page. The edit link is only visible when viewing the page via the portal, not in edit mode. Another question, was the deployment of KMCWPC successful and without error? I have experienced issues where the deployment did not fully complete, causing some subtle issues regarding publishing of WPC content and redeploying KMCWPC fixed the issue. I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Chris -
I need to know how you would publish a new site into an existing site
Okay I have a new Dreamweaver website that I just created for my brother in-laws law firm and want to publish in onto an ftp server but the sever already has the existing site published onto it and before I have it pulled down I would like to publish this new site on there to see if everything is going to work okay and if everything is displayed correctly. Does anyone know if there is a way I can do this and how to do it? Please help!!!
ThanksI typically create a TEST folder on the remote site. Upload new pages and dependant files there for debugging and testing purposes. Then using a 3rd party ftp ware (filezilla, cute ftp or Ws_ftp pro), I move the new site files & folders over to the root directory. If you have used the same filenames as were on the old site, new pages will overwrite the old ones. If you used a different naming convention, you will need to delete old files from server.

How do i create new domain folders?
hello,
as I have gleened form other post,using a different domain folder will allow you to create separate websites,
but how do I create these domain folders and how do I get iweb to switch between them,
any help much appreciated
cheers
martinQuit iWeb. Move Domain out of its standard location at ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Rename it in such a way that you remember which site it refers to (DomainSiteName1, or whatever). Launch iWeb. You can now begin from scratch, work on your second site, publish it and so on. iWeb will create a new version of Domain which contains information relevant to your new site.
When you want to return to your original site, quit iWeb, drag the new Domain out of ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb, rename it DomainSiteName2 or whatever, move DomainSiteName1 back, edit the name back to Domain, launch IWeb, and you're back working on your original site.
You can do this as many times as you like, creating a unique copy of the Domain package for each of your sites. Just remember to change the name back to Domain when you move a copy back in to ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb and rename it each time in its new location so you know which site it relates to. -
Two "Sites" folders -- Weird URL problem
I use domain names for most of my iWeb sites. Suddenly all sites have been assigned the same domain name when I publish -- www.insidetuscany.org. I've "disconnected" the domain on my Namesecure site, but it is still getting assigned. Because of this I can't even see the new sites I create or create a feed URL.
One possible source of trouble is my iDisk. Publishing has created two "Sites." One of the Sites folders contains pages published by Aperture. The iWeb sites use these pages. The other "Sites" folder include the iWeb sites that use the Aperture files. Here are the paths:
..../iDisk/Sites -- This is the Aperture path for the Aperture pages used in the iWeb sites.
..../iDisk/Web/Sites -- This is the iWeb path for the iWeb sites.
This is driving me nuts. I've tried republishing everything, but still no solution.
ThanksI don't know what the original URL looks like.
The url for iweb 08 sites is always like this:
http://web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html
I've tried
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/iweb/sites/InsideTuscany
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/iweb/sites/InsideTuscany/Inside%20Tuscany.html
.Mac urls never have "iweb/sites" in the middle. You can see that none of your other urls are structured that way. The thing to try would be
http://web.mac.com/scottgrabinger/InsideTuscany
which works fine for me.
I also get the "announcement" box that says "published to www.insidetuscany.org"
Just ignore the announcement box, it is not telling you anything that is relevant here. -
Significant problem when importing a new site
Ok, let me first mention that I'm using DW MX, not a newer iteration. What can I say? I like this version, it works great for my needs, and I don't like the newer ones.
So, I have all the properly categorized files for my website on my hard drive, and I was going to manually import the site into DW. I've done this before and it worked fine. However, once everything was brought in as a new site and I opened an HTML file to edit some photos/text, I saw that alll my images are broken, all the backgrounds are missing, as well as my image bars, and in some places the text formatting is gone (like a centered heading in bold is now aligned left with </center> next to it (Why am I seeing HTML? I'm in design view!)
I noticed when I right-clicked on an image and selected "Source File", it's referencing the HTML folders, not the Image folders. I re-linked one image on one of my HTML pages for testing and saved the change, and I then checked the background images on some other HTML pages, and now they all reference that image folder of the page I saved instead of my Backgrounds folder.
I'm not sure why the images suddenly decided to link to HTML pages. At some point with moving, my transition to different computers, and different versions of DW, my site disappeared from my list of sites in this DW MX. I re-imported it from my C drive and got this. I'm going to have a LOT of work re-linking all my images, bars, backgrounds, and correcting text layout on all my pages if I can't get this fixed. At least the website currently online is unaffected. I'm wondering if I should just download the website that on the remote server somehow into DW. I know it's all properly linked online.
Anyone have any suggestions?When you say "download the intact site first," do you mean from the server? I'm not sure where you're talking about. The intact site exists only on my hard drive, accessed through Windows Explorer. I imported this as a new site into DW. However, I had evidently not linked the images, backgrounds, bars, etc, on the HTML pages. Everything on the server is in one folder - no organization there at all, which is the way it used to be.
I'm puzzled, however - it's been months since I messed with this site, and I've forgotten a lot of what I did. I must have started on my HD, created and organized all the folders and files to my liking, and saved it. This would have invalidated all my links which I had in place when all the HTML pages were in one huge folder. This is probably why everything is so broken within DW, but why everything still works online - I haven't fooled with anything on the remote server (yet). Even though this isn't the biggest site in the world, considering how much time I have in my schedule, it's still going to take me about two weeks worth of work to fix this. -
New Site create - select doesn't work ok
OS Vista Home Premium. Installed DW CS3 and when create new site and setting up folders, button select does not work ok. It point to the folder one up not the present one. If c:/root/image and I'm in image the select point to root.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCiKtVMhS5Y Is it problem with DW or Vista ?Yup, I've had the same problem in CS3 and now CS4. After much MUCH googling, the only thing I've found so far is that this problem developed for people after SP2 came out for Vista. I haven't seen any fixes for it yet. My only solution is to automatically create a folder inside the folder I want to use as my root....then I select that folder. After going into that folder, the folder one level up, which is the one I want for my root is able to be selected. After I get the folder I want set, I delete the dummy folder....or I name it images and use it as my image folder.
Problem is, if I want to define a default image folder, or spry folder I have to make dummy folders inside those subfolders too.....its a real pain. -
Dreamweaver CS3 - Cannot create root and image folder in Site Management. (Create New Site)
Good day everyone,
I am not able to create folders for a new site in Dreamweaver CS3.
This is the problem:
I open Dreamweaver
I go to site and click on create new site
In the new site panel I name the site eg: Test Site
Then I click on the browse folder to attached a root folder and image folder for the site
This is where the problem starts, when I browse to the folders, Dreamweaver does not keep the location/path.
Like this: My folder is created in the following directory.
C:\xampp\htdocs\my_site_folder
So when I browse to this folder and click save
the path does not stay in Dreamweaver, all the stays is this.
C:\xampp\htdocs\
The site name does not remain.
I cannot get Dreamweaver to hold the path.
Same for the image folder.
I noticed this started to happened after I updated Vista to Service pack 2.
I have never seen this happen before.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

my iWeb image names are incompatible with FTP servers and must be renamed but I can't find the images in iWeb. I can upload to a desktop file and change them there but then I would need to download them to a new site in iWeb to publish them.
What's the answer?
ThanksMany thanks to responded to my question and sorry not to get back sooner.
Yes, I discovered by this unfortunate experience that the names of photos are a serious issue if the site is to ever go to an FTP server. Apple should discuss this carefully in their "manual".
One more question: I uploaded the website to a folder on my desktop. When I open it, unlike the photos in iWeb, there are folders for each page which have all the photos in them. I went through each folder and changed the names to be FTP compatible. I'm using iWeb SEO Tool which allows one to upload from this local folder to an FTP server but having trouble.
Is this because there is an imbedment in iWeb that uses the old photo names to link to the actual photos and it can't find them because of the name changes?
Thanks again for your help ...

How do I make new site go live?
Hello, I hope somebody can help me out with this.
My client's site is hosted by and developed in Business Catalyst. They wanted changes and improvements made to the site and these were done on a new build that is now sitting ready to go in the Trial Sites section. What I would like to know is, what is the proceedure for turning off the existing site and replacing it with the new site? Is it a case of deleting the existing live (paid for) site and upgrading the new site to a paid plan? I feel that this isn't the correct thing to do.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
GrantLiam read the subject line of your forum thread and immediately formed his own conclusion. He should have read more to understand your situation.
Unfortunately, one of the harder development workflows for BC is a redesign. In order to test ecommerce and some other elements without impacting your original site requires that you create a new site, but there is no merging involved officially on BC's end. What you'll really need to do is make sure everything is in working order and then copy your /Templates folder and any other folders you need in /Layouts or /_System to your local directory and re-upload those new assets (styles, images, layouts, templates) to your old website and then change the default template in the BC Admin area to your new template.
There is one other major obstacle, though. If you used heavy BC modules and such in your redesign, each of those are unique to your new trial site. If you are using content holder modules or showing specific catalogs in ecommerce in your markup, when you copy those pages/templates to your old site the ID's for the data will be for your trial site and won't work on the old one so before updating your templates on the enw site you'll need to replicate all your modules on the old site first by hand I guess and reinsert the module codes after you've uploaded new pages/templates.
I don't think there's an official way to merge just modules, catalogs, templates and pages into an old site, but your new trial site redesign is really just missing the CRM and Traffic data from your old site. IF you are a paid partner, open a support ticket and see if they can merge your old customer data and reporting to your new trial site. That would be the easiest thing if they can even do that. -

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant.Found this on metalink: NOTE:737470.1
Cause:
"This is caused by zone indexed fields that were created outside of the Content Server interface. Dropping and recreating the zoned index fields should resolve the issue."
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
Log in to the Content Server through the browser as sysadmin.
Navigate to Administration -> Zone Fields Configuration.
On this page, change the value of the search engine in the dropdown list to DatabaseFullText if database full text indexing is being used. Leave it set to Database if database metadata only indexing is being used.
If there are fields listed in the left-hand box (Zone Text Fields):
Make a note of all the fields listed in the left-hand box (Zone Text Fields), or take a screenshot of this page.
Remove all of the fields from the Zone Text Fields box by highlighting each field and clicking the right arrow.
Click the Update button.
Run the following query directly against the database to see if any zoned fields are still present. The zoned fields can be identified by the ZFT suffix, for example, DDOCTITLE_REVISIONS_ZFT:
Select index_name from user_indexes where table_name = 'REVISIONS';
If any indexes with the ZFT suffix are returned in the results as an index, drop that index from the Revisions table in the database.
Verify that the error no longer appears.
Re-add any desired zoned field indexes through the Administration -> Zone Fields Configuration page.
