Site definition files? anyone?

OK so I am new to website creation, so please cut me some
slack. Using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac, in the manage sites window,
none of the sites I created with Dreamweaver 8 are shown, yet they
all reside in a local sites folder in my documents folder. When I
choose the import function, it asks for the location of my site
definition files (ste) but none are visible anywhere on my system.
How do I import/recognise my previously built sites in Dreamweaver
CS3? Totally confused here...

The sites *should* have been migrated when you installed CS3,
but you can
always go back into DW8, EXPORT the sites, then IMPORT them
into CS3.

  • Create a Site Definition file with Visual Web part in Visual Studio

    I tried to create a site definition file in Visual Studio 2013 and SharePoint 2013 by following the MSDN tutorial:
    Walkthrough: Create a Basic Site Definition Project. Near the end, I added a virtual web part control to the site definition and registered MyWebPartControls in the site definition's default ASPX page as written in the MSDN tutorial:
    Unfortunately, IntelliSense doesn't show any MyWebPartControls: tags, and VisualWebPart1 is highlighted with a warning “Element 'SMWebPart3' is not a known element. This can
    occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing.”
    Since it’s a warning, I went ahead to build and deploy the solution. However, when I used the site definition template to create a subsite, it returned a parser error:
    Unknown server tag 'MyWebPartControls:TestSiteDef1.VisualWebPart1'
    I spent half day researching and debugging, and finally solved the problem. The issue is on the registration line:
    <%@ Register Tagprefix="MyWebPartControls" Namespace="TestSiteDef.VisualWebPart1" Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" %>
    The $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$ is a replaceable parameter to provide values for SharePoint solution items whose actual values are not known at design time. Unfortunately, it does not find the right assembly name during the deployment. It should
    be replaced by the Assembly’s Strong Name. Here is how I fixed the problem step by step:
    In Solution Explorer, open the package node and double click Package.package
    Click Manifest tab in the Package.package.
    Copy the full assembly name in the package’s manifest. It may be similar like this:
              Assembly="TestSiteDef,
    Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
    Back to the site definition’s default.aspx page, replace the
                     Assembly="$SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName"
    in the registration line with the copied text:
    Assembly="TestSiteDef,
    Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
    Change the Namespace from
    Namespace="TestSiteDef.VisualWebPart1"
    to
    Namespace="TestSiteDef".
    The line to register the web part in a site definition file will look like this:
    <%@
    Register
    Tagprefix="MyWebPartControls"
    Namespace="TestSiteDef "
    Assembly="TestSiteDef, Version=1.0.0.0,
    Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a300f1f2da8ae976"
    %>
    Clean, build and deploy the solution. It works like charm. (Note: the warning message on visual web part may still exist, but you can ignore it).

    Assuming your .ascx.vb file is inheriting from the web part class, you can add the custom properties in the same manor (language syntax aside).
    Be sure to use the attributes to correctly identify and scope the properties. (see:

  • Just where ARE the site definition files?

    I've just received CS4.  I want to move it to my more powerful laptop when I install it.  I know how to do that and I can move site files, but where are the site definition files?  I really don't want to have to set up each site from scratch.  Is there one (or more) files that are the name, url, location, id, password etc for each of the (many) sites in CS3?
    don Carlos

    To import/export site definitions (not site files):
    On the old computer:
    Site > Manage Sites
    Shift click to highlight all site names
    Export..
    Same procedure on new computer then Import..

  • Site definition files

    I had to reinstall my dreamweaver software completely, and
    now I would like to reconstruct my site definitions without
    manually entering them all again. Unfortunately i didn't export
    them before my computer crashed. I have all the files that
    dreamweaver created before in the application data folders etc and
    I was wondering if there is a way that I could use that with my
    newly installed dreamweaver to recreate teh site definitions?
    thanks

    Unfortunately, no. I'm not sure where site definitions are
    kept on a
    Mac, but on a Windows machine, they're stored in the Windows
    registry.
    Site definitions can be automatically rebuilt only if you
    exported them
    in the first place.

    The site definition is stored in the Windows system registry.
    If you

    the site
    information.

    Thanks so much for your response Anita.
    Since I posted this, I noticed a blurb on the Weblogic site that mentioned Service
    Pack 9 fixes any problems with JSSE and SSL from within a Weblogic jsp/servlet.
    That service pack also includes an example of using the Weblogic SSL routines
    to make outgoing HTTPS connections. So, I'm trying to install service pack 9 and
    use the example code included in the distribution. I may end up trying what you
    listed below however, because SP 9 seems to be screwing up some of our functionality.
    <sigh> It nevers ends....

    1) Put the JSSE classes in the lib/ext directory.
    2) in the Weblogic.properties file change the weblogic.security.SSLHandler.enable=true
    to weblogic.security.SSLHandler.enable=false
    3) in the weblogic.policy file under a 'grant' directive for all code

    put permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.protocol.handler.pkgs",

  • Help - Site Definition Files

    Hi
    My PC recently crashed and I have had to restore DW 8,
    however when I open DW the list of sites has disappeared.
    I had previously exported all the site information using the
    Backup/Export process and I can import the STE files but it has
    been a while since I have done that and some of the newer sites
    aren't included.
    Within DW is there a configuration file that keeps a list of
    the sites and login details etc, ie when you click on Manage Sites
    it lists all the current sites? As ideally I would like to restore
    those files from a previous tape backup ratehr than sit down and
    recreate them again.
    Kind regards
    Steven

    If you do not have recent site definition exports you will
    have to recreate
    those site definitions manually. Sorry....

  • Dreamweaver CS6 will not recognize existing site definition files

    Neither does CC, naturally.  These are sites I haven't edited for about a year. I can't find any information about reloading sites by importing the contents, only by opening the STE files... which in this case, won't open.

    Are you attempting to simply open the .ste, or are you going to Site > Manage Sites > Import?
    If you are tring to import them correctly (second option above) and they aren't importing, the .ste files may be corrupt. To create new site definitions from your existing content...
    1. Go to Site > New Site
    2. For the "Local Site Folder" browse to one of your current site folders on your HD
    3. Add a server and FTP credentials obtained from your hosting company (if you don't have them)
    4. Save
    5. Repeat for each site
    EDIT: If you don't have the site's files locally, do the same as above (setting the local site folder to an empty folder on your HD) and, once you add the FTP info, click the Get button (down arrow) in the Files window to download your entire site onto your machine.

  • DW CC ...not a valid site definition file

    I have about 50 .ste files I need to import that were created with DW CC and now they won't import back into DW CC?
    Is there something I can do to get this to work? is it a bug with Dreamweaver?
    The .ste files were exported from DW CC only last week and today they won't go back into DW CC.

    That worked, which helped find the issue.
    My localroot had been changed recently so I needed to make a little change on line 3:
    it was:
    <localinfo sitename="sitename" ftporrdsserver="FALSE" mediaqueryfile="" localroot="MBP%20HD:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:sitename.com:" ...>
    and need to be:
    <localinfo sitename="sitename" ftporrdsserver="FALSE" mediaqueryfile="" localroot="hddname:Applications:XAMPP:xamppfiles:htdocs:sitename.com:" ...>
    Seems to have fixed it.
    Thanks.

  • Preview versus Real View Not the Same, Site Definition Errors - Dreamweaver CS4

    I am having trouble working on sites where it seems that Dreamweaver wants me to specify different file locations for various "includes" depending on whether I want to view the site as a preview (F12) vs. on a local test server vs. on the real website server.  Note I am using Dreamweaver CS4 (ver. 10) on Windows, my local test server is Apache running via an Xampp installation on Windows, and my production server is also Apache, running at Hostgator.  I am building a fairly basic html site using SSI via SHTML files, rather than PHP or a more sophisticated method.  Here is what seems to be happening:
    1.  In my index.shtml file I call, for example, a subheader file called "header-nosub-menu.inc.htm."  I have my site definitions set to "relative to document root."  Using the insert -> SSI command, Dreamweaver links to the file with the following: My first problem is that, as specified, the subheader.menu.inc.htm file is not found and the preview gives me an error.  I get the same error if i try to display the file on my local test server (http://localhost/domainname).  However, if I upload the file to my production server, it seems to work fine.  If I change the include command to: #include virtual="./includes/subheader.menu.inc.htm," by manually inserting the "./" to change the directory reference, then the file seems to work in all three situations  Which is the correct directory specification, and why is Dreamweaver not generating it automatically?
    While I can make the manual changes in the directory specifications, I am concerned that if Dreamweaver is making an error in this instance, it may generate more serious problems that are harder to find later.
    2. The second issue seems to involve the Site Definition file configuration.I get an error message when I set up my site definition in what seems to be the correct way, specifically, using the following specifications:
    Local Root folder:  "C:\htdocs\domainname-dev\"
    http address:   "http://www.domainname/"
    testing server folder:  "C:\htdocs\domainname-dev"
    url prefix:  "http://localhost/domainname-dev"
    The error message is: "The site url prefix for the testing server does not match the site url prefix specified in the http address for the site."
    However, when I change the testing server url prefix to one that does not yield an error message ("http://localhost") I then have problems with the preview (F12) display.  Specifically, instead of a preview request generating the following url: "http://localhost/domainname-dev/TMPm393xnclqu.shtml" I find that it generates the following: "http://localhost/TMPm393xnclqu.shtml"  The so called incorrect definition seems to be the correct one, but  why is Dreamweaver not recognizing it as such?  Am I making a error somewhere else in my configuration?
    I would appreciate any assistance that anyone here can provide,
    Thanks,
    http://localhost/

    except for the Apache virtual host configuration, which I do not see a need for
    I wasn't suggesting that you use virtual hosts (although I have defined about 50 virtual hosts on my own development machine). I was trying to understand the url you listed:
    http://www.domainname/
    Without a virtual host definition, that would have no meaning and could not point to anything, unless you simply were leaving off the TLD in the example. (.com, .net, etc)
    I often use the PHP $_SERVER superglobal to define paths and handle differences between the development environment and the remote server environment. Examples:
    DOCUMENT_ROOT: D:/ZendServer/Apache2/htdocs/website/ranch (machine path)
    REQUEST_URI: /topic/calendar (url parameters)
    SCRIPT_NAME: index.php
    HTTP_REFERER: (the url of the script preceding the current script)
    HTTP_HOST: (this is the domain name. It is very useful for distinguishing between the local and remote environments)
    COMPLETE EXAMPLE:
    echo "<p><a class='noPrint' href='".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']."'>RETURN TO PREVIOUS PAGE</a></p>";

  • Site definition issue (maybe???)

    My desktop computer had some issues and I am having a hardware and operating system upgrade done on it. It had six hard drives, none of which were damaged and all of the data is intact. This data includes all of my DW CS4 sites which are in one of two directorys  (i.e, "Client A-M" and "Client N-Z"), under a client sub-directory in the client's name.
    I have a free-standing docking station where I mounted the hard drive with the client files and copied them to an external drive which is attached to my laptop, which has a full CS4 Premium Design Suite, including DW CS4, installed. I have already edited and updated some sites, a couple with no problems, and a couple with some problems reocognizing and updating templates.
    In a previous post, I addressed this issue and it was suggested that on the ones where I had problems, the issue was site definition files. I have just recieved a request to do some updating on a site which I have not opened on the laptop. As a prevention to avoid any problems, my quesiton is this:
    Should I redefine the site in it's existing folder on the laptop as a new site since this installation of DW CS4 has never seen that site before and the subject site is not on its recognized list of sites.
    Thanks in advance for you help,
    Joe
    PS: What is the file extension for the site definition files, and where do they reside on the computer?
    J.

    Without knowing the issues it's hard to determine.  You could always try to bring the files over.  Assuming your computer was setup with a RAID configuration and you didn't lose data then you should have no issues transferring the files.  But if you were running 6 independent hard drives and you have already run into issues you may want to consider just entering the data in fresh just to ensure no corruption down the road.  The files for the site definitions will vary.  Typically on the Mac they are located in the Library->Application Support->Adobe->Dreamweaver CS5 folder, on Windows it's hidden away in the Application Data folder.

  • Lost site definition in CS5.5

    My IMac crashed and now l the Site Definitions file is lost, I have tried to do a restore from my Time Machine but I am unable to find the Site Definitions Folder
    I have even tried reinstalling Dreamweaver as per the instructions in the Adobe support site after reinstalling DW I am still unable to make a new site, I am getting an error message that tells me that the Sprite Assets folder is not inside the site
    Should I move the Dream Weaver application from the Applications Folder to the Trash and reinstall DW? or what?
    Some help will be appreciated

    Whenever DW starts acting up, the first thing I do is clear the program cache:
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    If that doesn't take care of it, I move on to restoring preferences:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
    If restoring preferences doesn't clear the issue, the "nuke it from orbit" option would be a fresh re-install using the Cleaner Tool:

  • Performance counter definition file is invalid

    I've been trying to resolve some of the many issues I've run into after installing Exchange 2013 CU2 as a fresh install before migrating my users from 2007.  We'd run into this bug that was generating a ton of event logs for missing performance counters:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2870416
    It includes a PowerShell script to reregister all of the performance counters that come with Exchange 2013.  When running it on my servers, it generated an error for one of the performance counter definition files.
    53 C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\Setup\Perf\InfoWorkerMultiMailboxSearchPerformanceCounters.xml

    I opened the files in Notepad and this one didn't have any obvious errors or differences in structure compared to the other files.  An internet search showed no one else reporting this error processing this file that I could find.  I'd be curious

    replicated the the disks of the exchange server, extracted all of the archives in the installed directory and the source media, and indexed the contents of anything even remotely text based.  I can't find this file or a reference to it anywhere.  If

  • DW MX Site Definitions for Verizon FIOS? Mac

    Hello, Everyone,
    First time poster, longtime user/dabbler. All help is greatly
    appreciated.
    I'm using DreamWeaver MX for Mac and trying to do a site
    definition for Verizon FIOS. The instructions on their web site do
    not work, are sketchy at best anyway, and Verizon's tech people
    don't give tech support on this in general and don't know the
    answers so far!
    Does anyone know what to put in the fields for an ftp
    connection in site definition? Really - is anyone successfully
    using DreamWeaver with Verizon fiber optic?

    Send me your connection info offlist, please -

  • Site definition has disappeared

    hey there, I did a disk cleanup last night and lo... this
    morning I have no file information on dreamweaver. I have learnt
    from this to keep a record of all the site definition data , but in
    the meantime, as I hadn't made a note of those, I have lost all the
    details for connecting to my three websites.
    Can anyone tell me where this information may be and how I
    can reconnect dreamweaver to it? I haven't emptied my recycle bin
    yet but can't see anything in there that may contain this data.
    love Kim

    What version of DW do you have, Kim? If you have 8 (I can't
    remember if MX
    2004 had this or not .. been years since I used it), you can
    reimport the
    site definitions (if you exported them initially). If you
    don't have the
    ste files saved somewhere, then you'll have to rebuild them
    .. thank
    goodness you only have 3 and not 30. :)
    The site definition info is stored in the registry on Windows
    .. not sure on
    Mac. However .. if it's gone .. it's probably gone from the
    registry as
    well and unless you do it routinely, I don't advise people to
    mess with the
    registry.
