Re: Help in editing website

Hi,
I recently created an ecommerce website with oscommerce and I
want to do some drastic graphic desgin and coding improvements via
Dreamweaver. How can I do this via the Dreamweaver Interface? If
someone could guide me on how I can import it into Dreamweaver and
how it can be edited I would appreciate the help,
Thanks in advance,
John

Open DW, press F1, and read about how to define a site, and
PUT/GET files.

Edit websites in dreamweaver

can anyone tell me how to use dreamweaver to edit websites that are not made in dreamweaver??....plz help.....

Dreamweaver works on local files. To edit any website (even those not made in DW - after all, it's all HTML), you would first need to have a DW site defined with a local root folder, then you'd need to get the files (and their dependent files) into that local root folder, and finally you can then edit those files using DW. Ordinarily, this requires some FTP connection to the remote site so that you can not only GET the remote files but also PUT them back once you have edited them. Dreamweaver has the ability to do this - when you define your site you also specify the FTP connection details.
I suggest you also use DW's F1 Help to read about defining a site.

I need Help with a website I've created

I need help with a website I've created (www.jonathanhazelwood.com/lighthouse) I created the folowing site with dreamweaver at my current resolution 1366 by 768. Looks great on my screen resolution but if it is viewed on other resolutions the menu moves and some of the text above and below. How can I keep all content centered and working like it does on 1366 by 768 on all resolutions. The htm to my site is below I started off with a blank template through dreamweaver CS5.

Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

Does anyone use RH7 for online help on their websites?

Hi,
I'm finding that this product isn't usable for online help
within a website. Using the RH_ShowHelp() JavaScript calling
convestions triggers popup blockers on most of the major platforms
(Windows/IE, FF, Mac/FF). I don't understand why this is happenning
since the help and the page that links to the help are in the same
domain. Requiring customers to manually reconfigure their popup
blockers is not a viable solution.
On the one where it works (Mac/Safari) I'm left with a very
tiny window in the lower right corner. Expanding it shows the help,
but the page in the content pane is the file-not-found page
(clicking items in the navigation brings up the correct page). I'm
also seeing on the Mac (FF & Safari) that the Index &
Search areas aren't searchable like they are in Windows (no input
box to search with).
When we asked Adobe about this the answer was more or less -
"that's how it works" and they gave us a link to the following page
detailing the limitations by browser (notice that it hasn't been
updated since 2004 and the newest IE is IE4).
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=rb_69353b&sliceId=2
I was hoping there would be a new RoboHelp_CSH.js file (it's
dated 2004) Ideally one that didn't rely on browser sniffing but
instead checked for JavaScript capabilitites.
We missed testing this part when evaluating the product and
now it feels like a dead end.
Needless to say we've started moving on to other help
systems, but maybe someone can help save RH for us before we write
it off completely.

Welcome to our community, wjens
Hopefully you realize that you aren't forced to use the
WebHelp API to establish links to help.
Take a look at the following links:

Hopefully something here helps... Rick

Help with Editing Raw in Lightroom 3.6

Hello everyone!
I am new to the forum and also to using lightroom. I just need some help with editing my RAW files. I shoot in RAW + JPEG and I just imported the files to lightroom. It didn't show me the jpeg files for importing so I only imported the RAW files, which I needed. After editing, I realised it said CR2+JPEG. Which means that both files were imported but combied into a single one. Now I basically want to edit my RAW files only. Does that mean I have edited a jpeg or a mixture of both files? How to edit only the RAW file?
If my picture says CR2+JPEG, does that mean it isnt a pure RAW file and the editing would affect the image quality?
I will really appreciate some help!

It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.

Help with editing a template flash file..

FIRST OFF..please don't shoot the noobee..I know some folks
don't like the templates and I appreciate that.
I have done some reading but not a whole lot about Flash. I
certainly don't want to BUILD a flash (not yet), but want to edit
one that is included in a template. I only want to edit the header
that drops down. It says The Web STudio. I, for example, want it to
say Marks Studio.
Ok..the temp comes with Flash/non flash.
I open w/flash and have a 3 folders: flash, psd and html.
-flash folder has Images, fla doc and one flash html file
-PSD folder has 3 psd files
-html folder has flash folder, images folder, css file and
one single index.html file.
I opened the flash folder and found the image.jpg I wanted to
change to Marks studio.
I opend the PSD and found the slice that is the same as that,
then edited it like I want it in PSD, then saved to replace the old
image. top1. jpg
Still, it is the same ole one that came with the temp.
as I said, please don't shoot the noobe. I just wanna edit
the flash file.
Thanks for any help.
Mark

You'd need Flash to edit the FLA file.

Problem while sign in to In-browser Editing website and encountered "The FTP operation is taking too long"

I tried to sign in to my Muse website via Adobe® Muse™ CC In-Browser Editing to edit my website with In-browser editing. But it keeps show me
I have done these steps:
Installed fresh Muse CC 2014
Verify enable "In-browser Editing" in site's properties.
No warning while I upload my website to hosting
The program tell me succeed in upload website to hosting
I can access my website via common URL address
I double checked my FTP account which is the same that I used to sign in to In Browser Editing.
In your suggestion: "check with your hosting provider."
The information is not specific and almost hosting provider don't know how to deal with this "Muse" things.
Question is:
What info I have to tell hosting provider? Should it be "My Muse website cannot be login by In-browser editing"?
Is there anything I can check and tell you or my hosting provider to solve this problem?
Is it possible that some server configuration prevent In-browser Editing website to access the remote Muse website?

Edit website flash template - help needed

Hi! I am about to buy a website flash template. Before I buy the template I want to make sure, that I am good enough to edit to my needs.
I downloaded a free flash template and I tried to edit it in my Flash CS5.
I have had a lot of trouble editing it and I can't even figure out how I change the pictures or the text.
Can anyone help me and maybe give me a little tutorial on how to change the template.
Link to the template: http://www.flashmo.com/preview/flashmo_247_3d_touch_ring
Thank you!

The photos are taken from a XML file. Open the XML file flashmo_247_photo_list' in dreamweaver and look at the code it'll be easy to fiqure out if you have ever done any sort of HTML coding.
Just incase you have'nt look for Example below taken from the xml file which was provided with the .fla file
"<photo>
<thumbnail>s_photo_003.jpg</thumbnail> Change the image name for a thumbnail here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<filename>photo_003.jpg</filename> Change the image name for a the large image here i.e. directoryname/imagename.png etc
<tooltip>Photo Title 03</tooltip>

Help removing old user ID for C3 so I can edit website using trial CS5

Hello all, I used to manage my website using Contribute 3 but it kept having hanging issues (I'm using MAC OS X 10.5.8) while editing - had to force quit numerous times. Decided to download a trial version of CS 5 which has been working fine except that it won't let me edit one page of my site stating "You can't perform the operation on this page now because DHinden (insert e-mail address) is currently editing or reviewing it". DHinden was my old user ID for Contribute 3, I guess it didn't 'log me out' properly when I force quit the program. Does anyone have any solutions to this situation? I've tried re-installing C3 but it hasn't worked. Not sure if there's anything I can do using the trial version of CS5. Would appreciate any help. Thanks and advance for your assistance. Regards, Derek

Hi,
Can you check in the Manage Sent Drafts dialog, whether the page is listed or not? To open the Manage Sent Drafts dialog, click Edit -> Administer Websites -> Manage Sent Drafts menu item. Note that, you should have created your website connection before. And, to see the list of all the drafts in review, you should connect as Administrator.
If you see that the page is listed in the Manage Sent Drafts dialog, select the draft, and do Undo Checkout, or Change Owner and assign the draft to yourself.
Hope this helps.

Newbie help with editing files in DW CS3

I am new to using Dreamweaver, and I am having trouble with
trying to edit existing files using DW CS3. When I open an existing
file on my local site, DW converts some of the code using &.
This is a problem because I need to edit the file just as it was
originally written, so I can save it after editing and upload to my
website.
In my Preferences, I have Code Rewriting set to:
-Rewrite Code: Fix invalidly nexted and unclosed tags
[Unchecked]
-Rewrite Code: Rename form items when posting [Checked]
-Rewrite Code: Remove extra closing tags [Unchecked]
-Never rewrite code: In files with extensions .as .asr .asc
.asp .ascx .asmx .aspx .cfc .cfm .cfml .config .cs .ihtml .js .jsp
.php .php3 .vb .xml .xsl .xslt .xul
-Special characters: Encode <, >, &, and " in
attribute values using & [Unchecked]
-URL encoding: Do not encode special characters
-Active Content: Insert using browser-safe scripts [Checked
by default]
-Active Content: Convert tags to scripts on file open
[Unchecked]
Today, I opened a file with an .xml extension, and DW rewrote
the special characters > and '. Since I have in my preferences
to Never rewrite code in .xml, I don't understand why DW is
rewriting the code. Also, in my preferences I have unchecked the
Special Characters, so why is DW still rewriting the code?
Do I have some of the Code Rewriting preferences set wrong?
Is there another place I need to tell DW not to rewrite
existing code?
Thanks for your help!

It imported both, but only shows you the raw file. Ever. What you see and what you edit will only be the raw file. The associated JPG file will follow the raw file around if you move it or rename it using Lightroom, but other than that, Lightroom will ignore it. You could safely delete the JPG, and Lightroom wouldn't complain--probably wouldn't even notice.
There's a preference you can set that will cause JPGs to be imported as separate images. Then you'd be able to see both of them and edit them separately. That preference won't take effect on images that are already in the catalogue, but will affect all future imports.
