  • Part 10 - Creating Multiple Pages | Classroom: Basic Site Layout and Navigation in Dreamweaver | Adobe TV

    This lesson covers how to create multiple pages based on the page you have already created earlier.  You’ll then learn how to set up the navigation and how to change the content for each page including adding different background graphics by customizing certain CSS properties while still maintaining the shared CSS scheme across the site.
    http://adobe.ly/xLdpe4

    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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Site loading and navigation is very slow

    My site has been up for a few days now. Last night everything was working fine, but today the site loads very slowly and menu navigation is very slow as well. There isn't a lot of data on any of the web pages, max of one or two photos per page. Nothing was changed since last night. My other website is working fine though.
    www.windycitycowboys.com
    Thanks

    For me, as of 8:30pm, your website loaded fine and fast enough. If it still loads slow for you now, it's possible that your internet pipeline is super busy between your computer and to some point between you and Apple's host systems. If it is still slow, time to contact your internet provider to ask them to check your speed.

  • Using Content search web part to retrieve items from another site collection

    I have a web application that contains two site collections(team site + enterprise wiki), with the following URLs:-
    -http://applicationname/teamsite
    -http://applicationname/enterprisewiki
    Now I need to display the latest 10 wiki pages from the enterprise wiki site collection(according to the modified date) inside the team site. So I read that using Content search web part allow for cross-site content query. Currently I added a new content
    search web part , inside my team site, and I click on “change query” button. But I am not sure how I can reference the enterprise wiki site collection's wiki page library and to specify that I need to get the latest 10 wiki pages , inside the following dialog:-
    Basically this setting partially worked for me, I provide the following settings inside the “Build Your Query” dialog:-
    From the “Select a Query” I defined the following:- “items matching content type(system).”
    Restrict by app : “Do not restrict results by app”
    Restrict by content type “Enterprise Wiki Page”.
    This showed all the sites, lists and even pages are based on the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type. But I am facing these three problems:-
    1. The above setting showed only the sites,lists and pages matching the “Enterprise Wiki Page” content type, that exists on another web application, and not that exists inside the current web application.
    2. To test the web part , I got the following results, But I was not able to add additional info for the items such as created by, modified by ,etc.
    3.  Also there is no way to sort the wiki pages by the modified date, as in the Sorting tab inside the “Build Your query” dialog I cannot find the “modified” inside the Soft by list
    So can anyone advice how to fix these three problems

    Hi,
    1. In "Build Your Query" dialog, we can select "Specify a URL" in
    Restrict by app and enter another site URL.
    2. If you want to add more information for the items, we need customize the display template, the following link for your reference:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepoint_quick_reads/archive/2013/08/01/sharepoint-2013-customize-display-template-for-content-by-search-web-part-cswp-part-1.aspx
    3. In the Sorting tab, we can use "LastModifiedTime" to instead of "Modified".

  • I'd like to make an existing DW 8 local site the local site for DW cs5 without overwriting

    I just upgraded from DW 8 to DW cs5 and had to uninstall the old software to have room for the new (maybe a fatal error?).  Of course all my files are still My Documents in my local site folder and I have my website running on the remote site.  All is well there.  I can open all the files from the workspace and all, but as far as cs5 is concerned, I have no website.  I want to set up my new DW to use my existing local folders but it wants to make a new local site.  I am wondering if I create a new site in site manager will it overwrite or do I just have to copy everything into this new folder?  Can't I drag it somewhere? Seems like it should be simple--people upgrade their software all the time! What am I missing?

    Just to clarify, it isn't necessary to copy your site files. HTML is HTML.  You can work on your existing site in DW CS(whatever) by simply defining the site and pointing to the hard drive folder in which your site files currently reside.

  • Dreamweaver help with site set up. Local and remote server

    Hi,
    I've just got dreamweaver cs6 and i'm having issues with managing the site.
    Up until now I was using dreamweaver cs3 and when setting up a new site, the site definition had the category Local info and Remote info separated.
    Now on CS6 I cannot set up both individually for the same site, it doesn't give the option, it's one or the other which it doesnt work for me if I want to test a page locally, via preview on browser, otherwise it will upload it to the server if I choose FTP. If I choose only local then I lose all the ftp settings and once I've done the testing it won't upload to the server.
    Surely it has to be a work around this or something Im doing wrong but I can't see what it is

    There is no need to uncheck remote and testing. Previewing locally should work exactly the same as it did in CS3.
    Are you using a server-side language? If so, expand the Files panel by clicking this icon:
    Then make sure that the Testing Server icon is selected.

  • How do I set up a local testing server?

    Hey again everyone. I am trying to figure out how to set up a local testing server. I've read a couple different tutorials online and i still can't figure it out. I added a new server, named it test server, I'm connecting using local/network, my server folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\testfolder, and my web URL is http://localhost/. My server model is PHP/MySQL.
    My site's root folder is C:\Users\Jake\Website\. I have also downloaded XXAMP. It downloaded and that was it though, I'm not sure if I need to apply it somehow to Dreamweaver. When I try to preview my pages I get a message that asks me if I want to update copy on testing server. If I choose yes, another message comes up and asks me if I want to put dependent files. Whether I choose yes or no it just says IE cannot display the web page.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Site Name: PHP Test Site
    Local Site Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\
    Server Name: Local Testing
    Connect Using: Local/Network
    Server Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test
    Default Images Folder: C:\xampp\htdocs\php_test\Images\
    Web URL: http://localhost/php_test/Server Model: PHP MySQL
    Is that everything you need to know? Note that I do not have a remote testing site set up yet.

  • How do I set up a dev site so that I don't screw up my podcast feed?

    I want to "do the right thing" and set up a dev site for my active site. My concern is that if I have the dev site fully production ready (w/ all the right settings, etc), it will ping iTunes and other podcast directories.
    Is that okay? Is iTunes smart enough to realize that it's the same info and not push duplicates?
    -or-
    Will I have to leave all the settings turned off and fill all of that in once I move the dev site to the production site?
    Thanks for the help,
    Josh

    Pinging iTunes will have no effect - the facility to draw attention to your feed by pinging was removed around a years ago. In any case, if there is no feed of that name iTunes would ignore it anyway.
    You can only get your podcast into the iTunes Store by going through the submission process: you don't want to do this with a test feed.. If you want to test it you can subscribe manually, from the 'Advanced' menu - this is a good way of checking it's OK. The effect is the same as subscribing from the iTunes Store for a working podcast, but is entirely local.
    You can also check it at http://www.feedvalidator.org
    I can't answer for any other podcast directories.
