Restore sites in Dreamweaver
My Windows profile went on the fritz. I had to start a new
one. I had many websites in Dreamweaver. How can I restore them? I
copied 'C:\Documents and Settings\<profile
name>-old\Application Data\Macromedia' to the new profile folder
but the sites do not show in the application.
The site definitions are stored in the registry. Starting a
new profile
probably means you have lost them. It's always a good idea to
EXPORT your
site definition each time you create a new site, and save it
in a safe
location.

Backing up and restoring site definitions
Losing your site definitions in Dreamweaver can be a disaster, but it does happen sometimes. The best way to prepare for such an eventuality is to back up your site definitions on a regular basis.
Creating a backup
You can back up all your site definitions in a single operation by selecting Site > Manage Sites. In the dialog box that opens, Shift-click to select all site names, and then click Export.
In Dreamweaver CS6, the Manage Sites dialog box looks like this:
In earlier versions of Dreamweaver, it looks like this:
Dreamweaver asks if you want to include passwords and login details (this is the default option). Whichever option you choose will be applied to all sites, so click Cancel if you want to treat some sites separately, and export your sites in two sets by using Ctrl/Cmd-click to select them.
When you click OK, Dreamweaver asks where you want to export the definitions. Navigate to a suitable location, leave the File name field unchanged, and click Save. Although only one site name is listed in the File name field, Dreamweaver exports all the site definitions as .ste files in a single operation.
NOTE: This process backs up only the details of your sites, such as the location of the root folder, FTP details, and so on. It does not back up the actual files in your site, such as .html (or .php, .asp, .cfm) files, images, and style sheets. It's a good idea to use your normal file backup routine on your actual files from time to time, as well as exporting the site definitions.
Restoring site definitions
In the event of losing your site definitions in Dreamweaver or moving to a new computer, open the Manage Sites dialog box, and use the Import button to navigate to your backup .ste files.
What if I don't have a backup?
Often, if you don't have a backup of .ste files, you need to go through the whole process of re-entering the details for each site manually.
However, you might be able to restore them by using a restore point on Windows or Time Machine in Mac OS X.
On Windows, the site definitions for Dreamweaver CS6 are stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Common\12.0\Sites.
In Mac OS X, they are at Macintosh HD:<username>:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Common:12.0:Sites:Site Prefs.
In recent versions of Mac OS X, the Library folder is hidden. In the Mac Finder, select Go > Go to Folder, type ~/Library in the search field, and click Go.
Dreamweaver CS5.5 site definitions are in the same location, except use 11.5 instead of 12.0. The numbers for CS4 and CS3 are 10 and 9 (without a decimal fraction) respectively. For earlier versions of Dreamweaver, substitute Macromedia for Adobe, and adjust the number accordingly.
If you don't have a backup of the actual files on your site, download the files from your remote server.Hello,
We are running iPlanet 5.2 Messaging Server and need
to migrate to another (duplicate) 5.2 Messaging
Server. We have all the software installed and the
LDAP user accounts created. Now we just need to move
the existing mail from one server to the other.
I found the Backing Up and Restoring the Message
Store section in the Admin Guide says to back up and
restore your data, Messaging Server provides the
imsbackup and imsrestore utilities.
However I am wondering about the Queue?
Under <instance>/imta/queue
What is the difference between the Message Store
and the Queue? The Message Store is where messages get delivered to, so you can read them.'
The queue is where messages are temporarily stored, pending delivery to wherever they go.
You can use tar, cpio, or what have you for the queue. Stop the server first. . .
You then just restore the files to the new server. No need to restart or anything like that. Just dump the files in, and run
imsimta cache -sync
to tell the MTA to re-read the queue.
Can I just backup and restore the
Queue using tar or cpio?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Problems previewing all my sites using Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.
I have restored my hard drive (from a previous Ghost image)
and now encounter problems previewing all my sites using
Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.
If I preview (using localhost:8500) I get the message "Unable
to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
localhost:8500." IE has similar message.
If I preview (using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost:8500) I
get the page but no images or CSS loads.
An address such as:
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/gettingstarted/experience/index_content.cfm
loads just fine - seems CF is working okay.
All the sites used for testing locally have been used for
some time (years) and work on my unrestored drive.
My thoughts: after I restored my hard drive image I installed
both Norton Antivirus 2007 and resintalled ZoneAlarm. I uninstalled
both of the programs but the problem remains.
Any help is much appreciated. I have spent the last two days
trying to get this to work and as many of you can identify with...I
am supposed to be working....!Hi,
JSF 1.1 doesn't coexist nicely with HTML components.
So if your goal is to build layouts in HTML then this
will not produce the result you want
Skins in 10.1.3 are slightly different than in 11
(selectors may have changed their names). If you need
to specify the class property to make skins work then
this indicates that the skin selectors you use are
not the correct ones.
FrankHi Frank,
thank you for your help, I'm replacing every html component with adf one, panelGroup, panelHorizontal, panelBorder, objectImage etc... etc... but I have a problem...
I need to put an object component about Macromedia Flash and I cannot find any adf component to replace it. Any idea please?
Thank you again.
Ciao.

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.
Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!Nancy O. wrote:
I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering. -

How do I edit a WordPress site in Dreamweaver?
I found a pretty good article on how to install WordPress to a localhost and run a site made locally on a test server through Dreamweaver (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt1.html), but it leaves a lot unanswered. Like...
1. Okay, now I've built a WordPress site locally, how do I upload it to my webserver?
(When I upload it to my ftp, it's broken. I suspect that this is because the scripting is set to work on my localhost MySQL & phpMyAdmin and not my webserver's)
2. If I already have a WordPress site up on my webserver, can I download it to my localhost server so I can edit in Dreamweaver and my local machine, and then upload it later to my webserver?
Thank you everyone! Your help is highly appreciated!i am only new at dreamweaver...however, i have spent quite some time with Wordpress and Joomla website building.
Plese note... In an effort to explain my thoughts (which if left in their original state...only make sense to me really) i use the term "articles" below very loosely as Wordpress is not just a blogg platform anymore.
The two platforms serve different purposes. Wordpress is a publishing platform...Dreamweaver is a design program. Dreamweaver on its own, would be a very slow and cumbersome way of publishing articles on a Wordpress site. Dreamweaver on its own, is oriented towards creating the entire Wordpress CMS itself...not the "dynamic content" that goes on the Wordpress Site (dynamic meaning published information that is regularly being added/edited/deleted) .
What you really should be asking is, "how can i edit/develop Wordpress themes in Dreamweaver?" Now that, Dreamweaver can do.
Just slightly off topic, have you thought about building your websites using Adobe Muse instead. Its much faster and a lot simpler to use than dreamweaver and a great drag and drop design interface! Almost no coding required. You wold not be using Wordpress of course, and the content isnt dynamic, but Muse is soooo easy to build sites with!
Could i make a suggestion that i myself have undertaken...Purchase a monthly Adobe Creative Cloud plan(to get access to a heap of Adobe CC programs) + $39US/month Lynda.com tutorial package.
Even if you just use the lynda training for a single month only (you only pay by the month as you go)...you will learn an enormous amount about the Dreamweaver, Muse, Wordpress...and a huge number of other programs.
Best money i have spent in Info Tech in a long time
kind regards

How does on add a photo gallery to a web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the file folder which contains the photos, recognized as the "go to location" for the link up?
Ok. So Photos1.htm is the main gallery page.
And it looks like you have sub-folders with images in them like these from 2011 and 2010
LLA Picnic 2011/
photos 2010/
Have you defined a site in DW yet? That's a critical first step in getting DW to recognize your site's links and other assets. See video below:

Has anyone tried to recreate an iweb site using Dreamweaver on a pc? Why would you do this? Just for the experience of learning Dreamweaver. The first hurdle is trying to find all the images which are scattered instead of located in one images subfolder.

Read the instructions on the drupal site or elsewhere on how
to modify or
customize the "template" system they use.
You cannot edit the actual pages of a drupal CMS in
dreamweaver- it is all
php and included files and database calls. The "pages" you
see in the site
don't exist anywhere, they are assembled on the fly by the
drupal scripting.

Can I edit open a GoLive site in Dreamweaver?
I have a site that I put together for a charity..I have done it for a few years and the content, images etc don't change too often.
Every month or so there needs to be an update to timetable and information. At the moment I do this with GoLive which is
the programne I built it with. Can I open this site in Dreamweaver and continue editing it as before. Or do I have to re-build the
whole site? I' m using OSX 10.5.6 does anyone know how long GoLive will keep working in OSX ? Thanks GiffThanks Nina that is reassuring to know...but you ask why would I want to...
that was the second part of my question...I did read that Adobe said that it was

Help building an e-commerce site using DreamWeaver MX 2004 and Oracle 10G
I'm new to using Oracle 10G. After reviewing several rdms's I've picked Oracle 10G as my rdms. I'm trying to build an ecommerce site using DreamWeaver MX 2004 and Oracle 10G. The website will be selling hardware and software products. I have a choice in DreamWeaver to go for a .asp or .jsp setup. I have several questions, here goes:
1. Is there any book/tutorial/whitepaper out there that describes building an ecommerce site using Oracle 10G/9I/8I? Just some examples as how to make the datamodel regarding the shopping basket etc.
2. I prefer DreamWeaver as it let's me make nice looking css style based pages without throttling too much through the code. Are there Oracle tools which allow me to make an advanced nice looking ecommerce site?
I hope some of you can help me get started. Any effort is appreciated.

To answer your specific question "Is it possible to edit a google site using dreamweaver" the answer is NO. The reason is that Google does not allow uploading of web pagesusing any means such as FTP. Google provies hundreds of templates to choose from and like you I don't like them at all.
Microsoft had a free service long time ago that allowed you to upload your own pages but this has been stopped for new customers. New customers are required to sign up to their Office 365 Service <http://tinyurl.com/bucc6t4> and this costs money. However, you can build and host a website with a custom domain for your business.using their free software called Microsoft Sharepoint Designer 2010 <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=16573>. I believe they also have a 64 bit version to download but I only use 32 bit on my 64 bit systems!!
Hope this helps. -
Embeding lightroom web site into dreamweaver?
I've created a website in dreamweaver and currently have links to different lightroom web pages. www.owendawsonphotography.com. An annoying problem with this method is having to back click through lighroom to get to your home page. Being new to the web design program is there a way to embed the sites into dreamweaver so that you have the ability to set up a home button on each of the LR sites? I'm guessing not, but just thought I'd ask. Thanks, Owen
You could use the Contact field to point back to your home page, and have a contact point there rather than all over the LR galleries. Also, if you use the Identity plate I believe you could put in a link to your home page. There's also LR galleries at http://theturninggate.net and other sites, and likely other solutions that hopefully others will offer.
