OPINION: site layout

Hi guys!
I would like to receive your comments about the layout on the
page linked
below.
Some, if not most, of the link are not working, but I am
concerned about the
"first impression" it woud give the user.
Any comments will be deeply welcomed!!!
Thanks!

A couple of things you could improve IMO...
The logo is flash... why? IMO the animation doesn't add
anything to the
page except a slow download (I'm on a 8 mb connection and the
logo
loaded about 10 sec later than rest of the page)
I think it's close to foolish to use flash for such an
important element
as the nav bar. At least offer an alternative navigation for
those
without flash.
I don't think justified text fits your design. Specially in
the left
col. The text is a bit too small and I think the page would
look better
center aligned.
Personally I don't like it when images are left - right -
left as you
have them in your main col. Makes it look messy.
Besides that nice and clean look.

Unable to draw AP Div from Insert Panel as described in Tutorial "Classroom: Basic Site Layout and Navigation in Dreamweaver"

I tried to perform the draw AP Div from the Insert Panel as described within the Tutorial "Classroom: Basic Site Layout and Navigation in Dreamweaver" but that option isn't available/visible from my most recent update t Dreamweaver CC. The only thing noticeable is that the instructor is using a Mac version of the software. Help!

CS4 is 6+ years old. A lot has changed in web standards and Dreamweaver since then.
APDivs were never a good or sensible way to make primary layouts. Today, they are downright impossible in Responsive web designs because content in APDivs is removed from the normal document flow. See links below for further details on why APDivs should be avoided.

If you're going to work with DW CC, you need to find tutorials to match your product version. CS6 is wildly different from CC and CC 2014.

My Site Layouts Feature - Enable

I'm trying to enable the feature
'my site layouts' for a SharePoint 2013 online (office 365). I understand this is feature
"6928b0e5-5707-46a1-ae16-d6e52522d52b" . From what I can see, the 'Enable-SPFeature'
is not available for the online SharePoint Powershell. Any advice on how to solve this issue?

This is a hidden site collection feature so you will need to use SharePoint Manager or PowerShell. The feature ID is 6928B0E5-5707-46a1-AE16-D6E52522D52B. Its physical location under {SharePointRoot} is TEMPLATE\FEATURES\MySiteLayouts.
This feature brings a number of other web parts and also the MySite.master master page

Site layout and color looks different in each browser

I created a site. When I preview the site in firefox it is just the way I created it in dreamweaver cs5, but when I preview it in IE the background color is not the pinkish color I used, it is black and the subheading is crunched up to the left and not the right. Also, in google crome browser, it is perfect except there is a huge gap of space from the bottom of the page to the footer (It shouldn't have margins but the margin is very large). The site is for a client (escort-personal), I hope that someone will be able to help/lead in the right direction.

I see a black background in IE, no doubt caused by truncated #hex color codes in the markup. Remove the table cell BGColors from your html markup.
Add this to your CSS code:
td {background: #993300}
FYI, table-based layouts are very old school. You should be learning to work with CSS Layouts.

Need Help Reslicing Photoshop Site Layout to Update Dreamweaver Template

I created a website in adobe photoshop cs3 and sliced it up
to created an html file with sliced images. My main navigation menu
is made up of graphics.
I brought it into dreamweaver and created editable regions,
created rollovers etc. Then I created a dreamweaver template from
that to create the rest of the web pages for my site.
The client has come back to me and wants to add more menu
options to the site. This is where I'm stuck! When I use photoshop
to make more menu slices, it renumbers them. How do I export the
new slices with the new layout so I can use them to update my
dreamweaver template. How can I get those new slices/html layout to
the dreamweaver template without losing all the work I have done on
my current dreamweaver template?

The slicing is not the problem. It's the export as HTML that
is the
problem. And you'd have to ask Adobe that question if you
want an answer.
We are all just volunteer peers here.

FW HTML is no better.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/why_fireworks.html
At any rate, read this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
- and then look
at your code and count colspan, and rowspan attributes.
Unfortunately, the
only way to avoid this mess is to learn enough HTML/CSS that
you can build
your own tables in DW, and do it in such a way that you don't
rely on
merging and splitting cells (which is what generates those
colspan and
rowspan attributes).
Again, unfortunately, you are REALLY stuck in a bad
situation. Since you
have a) used a completely graphic menu button array, and b)
used a graphic
background behind the menu buttons, and c) chosen to embed
that graphic
background in each sliced button, you cannot add new buttons
without
remaking the entire menu. You will only make that mistake
once. I never
start building menus until I have an approved site plan in
hand. By the
way, that's a nice looking layout.
I don't see any clear path to salvation here. Since you are
absolutely tied
to PS for exporting the HTML and slices, you will have to
recreate
everything, I believe.

Developing a site layout like Apple's Website

I layout and ease of use of apples website. I would like a similar layout for an information site I will be creating. The scroll features and the drop down features: can those be created using iweb? Is there a template that is similar to the pages of Apple's website? Thanks for the info

There are no sliding menus on the support page mentioned earlier. Those are accordion drop down menus. js is used.
A sliding menu can be found Here at the top of this page. (wi-fi,accessories,Macs,Applications,servers)
Both accordion and sliding menus are not something that can just be inserted into an html snippet and work it's more complicated than that. First off you need to add the js reference to the head section of your html file, something an iWeb html snippet is incapable of doing. Furthermore you have to upload referenced js file to your host. Also the js file that functions for these menus conflicts with js file generated when you insert an html snippet into iWeb, so using an html snippet will not work anyway! These are just some examples explaining to you that you may be getting in over your head with this one! It's involved and complicated and certain knowledge is required for functionality. Something not meant for iWeb.
If you get it to work in iWeb kudos to you!

Learning Site Layout Error

I am unable to modify a Layout Style for Learning Site
receiving this Javascript error message:
Whilst executing onClick in LearningSite.htm a Javascript
error occurred. I click on Okay and the message appears a second
time. Clicking Okay again it disappears. I have Dreamweaver CS3
running on Mac Tiger OS.
The error message means nothing to me - I hope it means
something to someone!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Magus,
This may be worth a try - at work here we have a proxy server defined in our browser settings so can you check your settings and disable any proxy server for IE or Firefox etc?
This should bypass your error and connect to your SolMan as it seems you have correctly completed all other tasks.
Thanks,

Wondering why I can't see a site layout in "layout" view

I use GoLive CS and am a self-taught designer. A church has asked me if I'm interested in maintaining their site:
http://collegewes.gospelcom.net/
I copied the source code from the home page onto a blank page on GoLive to see how it was laid out. I can see it in "preview" mode, but when I switch to "layout" mode, there's nothing there. Does the fact that I don't know why this is happening mean this job is out of my league, or is there a simple explanation?

If the layout view is completely blank, it's probably because there's a syntax error that GoLive's layout renderer doesn't understand. Just glancing at the page, it's probably because there are 3 separate body tags (should just be one). The page has:
< BODY>
< BODY onLoad="runSlideShow()">
< BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#DDDDDD" LINK="#000000" VLINK="#777777" ALINK="#777777">
Those should be combined into one tag, more like:
< BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#DDDDDD" LINK="#000000" VLINK="#777777" ALINK="#777777" onLoad="runSlideShow()">
...but be sure to remove the space after the first < in the code above if you're copy/pasting it. Has to be added so the forum doesn't try to render it.
There are about 68 other syntax errors in the page, but I think the body tag is probably what's confusing GoLive most. Any luck after fixing that?

Re-organising site layouts and structures

Hi
I have a requirement where an organisation wants to re-organise their
existing site structure. They have a number of site collections (1 per department) each SC has a number of sub-sites (team sites).
All SC need to to have a new layout with new webparts on the landing pages. All subsites need to have layout changes and maybe navigation changes also. (I'm still looking at the requirements)
Originally, I was under the impression that I was to build all from scratch, this would have been easier. My idea was to create a feature that would build and configure everthing in new site collections. As existing site collections exist with sub-sites,
how can I achieve the requirements ? All changes need to be mirrored across all existing site collections.
Will this need to be a manual alteration or can it be automated with some sort of template?
Thanks

Hi, I will do my best to answer each question in order.
In terms of order is it best to build a custom page adding and testing jquery slideshow and then after debug somehow copy this to the VS project?
Yes, I suggest you create a working site collection with sample sub sites and demo pages. Create your custom branding (custom master pages, page layouts, content pages, etc) as well as build custom controls or components such as jQuery sliders. Debug and
get working, then package into VS. Many developers would complain as say always build in VS from the beginning but I find debugging takes significantly longer as you have to recompile/redeploy with every change.
Can VS create branded sub-sites upon activation?
Yes, you will want to use an event receiver or feature stapling. The actual technique you will us will depend on how automated you want the process. If you want everything wrapped up into a large site template, then you can add a root web, sub webs, all
with prefilled content and branding applied when a new site collection is added. This is an advanced VS solution though.
Once the VS project is ready the solution needs to be deployed and activated in other departments. To activate in other departments do I need to create a site collection and then activate the feature?
I suggest you package this all as a site template, thus when a site collection is added, you will select your custom site template. That will mean all sub sites and branding is auto applied for you depending on your custom site template configuration.
Using multiple SC’s can I use a single master page and page layout or will I need to have a master page and page layout for each SC?
Each Site Collection will need its own set of master pages and page layouts. You can have a central repository for css, images, js, etc, though. I good reason why to package branding into a feature so it is more easy to maintain. If you need to update master
pages / page layouts, simply update the feature, redeploy to the server, then deactivate/activate the feature on each site collection using powershell.
Are there any alternatives other than using VS to build this (I thought of simply exporting site as template- though this only exports current site not subsites)
Not that I know of, I recommend the power of a custom site template built in VS.

After this tutorial no 10 my background image didn't change for the rest 3 pages. It stayed the same even though I made a new css rule as shown. I picked tag, this document only, and body as a selector name. Changed the bckgrpund color to black, and than changed the picture as well. I clearly see the new "body" css rule that is above my Paolo css rule in the side bar, but no changes on the pages, I still got the same bckground image for all of them.
Any ideas? Anybody with a similar problem?

Need beginner advice on test server and site layout

Recently started to learn PHP and MySQL. Realized I need a test server on my laptop (have the room and the power).
Is the XAMPP distributor fine for my needs?
Is there any advice on how to set up the directories? In other words, how to integrate DW and the test server?
Thanks
Tom

Yes, XAMPP works fine. I personally only have experience with MAMP and WAMP, but it's all the same.
As far as advice goes you can either use the default directory that XAMPP creates or you can have the program point to your current website parent directory (one level above the site(s) you define). Typically you will just use the address http://localhost/folder to connect to your site based on my previous comment. As far as mySQL goes you should know how to use phpMyAdmin which is distributed with the XAMPP package or you can always use the mySQL Workbench ( http://wb.mysql.com/ ) if you prefer a more graphical and traditional application-like interface.
With regards to the "test" server. Just set it up as you would an FTP server. The connection will be a local/network connection and the localhost address will work. Set the model to PHP/mySQL and you are good to go. If you don't use the localhost address and use the IP address of the computer sometimes firewalls can get in the way, so that is why it is recommended to use the localhost unless you know how to add a rule to your firewall to allow local connections.
I think that should cover it all. If you still have questions or have issues getting scripts to run feel free to post back.
