Synchronize sitewide

I am trying to upload PDF files to my remote server and am
unable to do so. I have selected the text which I want to be the
target (users click on it to access PDF) and then browsed for file
in the properties palette. Instead of a link to the PDF I get a
link to the entire web page. I then thought if I tried SYNCHRONIZE
SITEWIDE from the site menu it might work. SYNCHRONZIE SITEWIDE is
greyed out in the menu. I read in an Adobe forum that PDF files
might have to be uploaded manually. How do you do this?

a quick question first-
in the Files Panel, is the icon next to this site's root
folder a folder
icon or a network icon?
You should be able to make a link to a pdf file by selecting
the text, then
use the folder icon next to Link in the Property Inspector to
pick the file
you want to link to.
to manually upload a file, find it in the Files Panel and
click Put
note- if the pdf's filename contains blank spaces or
punctuation there can
be linking errors.

Dreamweaver CS3 enable synchronization

I have recently installed Dreamweaver CS3 and created a site. For this site, I wish to enable synchronization. However, when I go to the the Site Definition window (Click on "Site" from the menu, then "Manage Sites," then select my site and click "Edit," then click the "Advanced" tab, then choose "Remote Info" from the options on the left), the option for "Manage synchronization information" is grayed out. As a result, the "Synchronize" button (the two arrows running in a circle) in the "Files" section is grayed out, as is "Synchronize sitewide" under the "Site" menu.
How do I fix this to enable synchronization?

How is your remote server currently set up?
I could pull out the old iMac and set something up similarly to test it in my CS3 and see if it was a version specific issue. It could also be that you have something wrong in your remote server settings that would make synchronization of files impossible.

Dreamweaver CS3 Synchronization

I have been having two issues with synchronization with
Dreamweaver CS3. When I synchronize sitewide Dreamweaver brings up
the list of pages that have changed but doesn't always include
pages that I know have been changed. Then I select to put the
files. If I do a synchronization some time later the same list of
files appears. The only way I can prevent this from happening is to
go directly to the file and select put. Any help on how to fix
this?
Thanks

Hi, I'm having the same problem. I was wondering if you'd
learned anything since you posted this question? I have a template
that has 100 pages connected to it. If i make a change to the
template, it updates the 100 pages but then when I go to sync, it
only finds 60 of those pages that have been changed.
Anyone have any advice? thanks.

Quick Question regarding an error with editable regions

Hello,
I am a co-op student and I work with other students as well, on our large company website. I have always been considered the cheif coder, and nobody knew the wesite layout and file directory as well as me. However, something terrible has happened while somebody was updating some information on one of your HTML pages.
I logged in to Dreamweaver CS3 on afternoon to make a very simple text error change on our website. As soon as I hit "synchronize sitewide", it stated that there was no synchronization necessary, although I had already made a change. So then, on the template (.DWT) page, I thought I would backspace any character, and then retype it again in order for the "save" option to appear, so that I could save the template, and have it update all HTML pages, as well as the page that had just said "no synchronization necessary". I thought that I had to update the template first, which was strange, as I never had to do this before.
When I clicked update, the error message that I got was that I have placed an editable region inside of a block tag. I checked the HTML pages as well as our template (.DWT) pages, and indeed, the "Page Header" was embedded in a <h1></h1> pair. The pair appears black and delete-able in the template files, and grey in the HTML files, which is expected. However, I have been working at this institution for four months, and I recall that the <h1> tag pair had always been there since I remember. (How badly did this other person mess up?! =S)
I tried to delete it from the .DWT file (the small editable region, and the <h1> tags), and now, what happens is that if I try to save a template so it updates all other HTML pages before synchronization, the template simply does not update anything, and I get no message whatsoever after clicking Save.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for coping with these many details. I simply want to be able to update HTML pages again, because my boss really needs it, and I have never had such a problem before (having made much larger changes to this same website in the past)
Thanks again,
Mr. V

How many child pages are you supporting with this DWT? Hopefully less than 50 pages.
Is your code valid? HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
Can you post a link to your DWT page, or copy and paste your code here?

CS4 Sychronize not working

I am going crazy trying to get the sychronize function to work. I am using CS4 on MS Vista 32 bit and when I try to sychronize my local and remote site with FTP the funtion keeps saying nothing will be updated but I know there are updates. I have tried turning off the "Maintain sychronization information" option in Site Definition to delete all the dwsync.xml files and verfied that they were indead deleted and then re-enable it but the same thing happens. I have also tried to create a completly new site. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver CS4. If anyone has any ideas on what is happening please let me know.

Are you using the "Synchronize>Synchronize Sitewide" meun command?

There is no Clean up Word with HTML.js in my DW CS3

I posted a few days ago about photos breaking and an error message about HTML.js.
Now I find there is NO HTML.js found within my DW CS3.
I tried to RE-INSTALL Dreamweaver from my install disc and it went about 1/4th of the way through and then asked me to put a PS Elements disc in my DVD drive. WEIRD!!!! I don't even have PS Elements. I have the CS3 Design Suite.
SO, now I am stuck. I don't know what to do and why I cannot re-install DW without uninstalling the whole suite.?
I was trying to re-install so as to be able to download any missing element that may have gotten lost in the installation the first time. (JOKE???)
I used to be able to do that with Photoshop when something got lost in a new OS installation.
Anyway, I installed this Suite after purchasing my new computer.
Also, under "SITE", synchronize sitewide stays GREY and I cannot use it. I cannot use COMMANDS, as the HTML.js "error 2 " comes up. I have to click it 5 times to make it disappear from the screen. There are 5 photos on the web page.
Any ideas?

Dependent File Upload, Where to turn off?

Since re-installing DW CS4 due to another problem which BTW still isn't solved, see thread elsewhere, when I update single file, Dreamweaver tries to upload ALL the files for the site, I've scoured preferences and can find nowhere to switch this off, can someone help please. Thank you

Did you try the "Site">"Synchronize Sitewide" meun command. Then in the dialog box that appears, under direction, choose "Put newer files to remote" Option.
This will scan entire site for only newer files then will give you the option to only upload newer ones.
Or, an easier way to update only 1 file, is to simply select the file in the files panel and right click on the file and choose Synchronize. It will only update that file.

Get files options - not very usefull

I'm building a site which i work on from 2 different pc's, so
befeore every work on the site, i do synchronize sitewide.
Then sometimes i get the result - no sync is neccesry - which
i know is not true, since i've just updated a few files from the
other pc.
But most of the time it shows the right files which have been
updated so i press ok and the files are beeing downloaded to my
pc(atleast thats what it shows).
When the d\l proccess is over i compare the files to the
those on the site, and they do not match - like it never really
downloaded anything.
Same error i get when i use the get files button, its shows
the download proccess, but nothing acctually beeing download.
Any suggestion?

I always just select all the files and GET them.

Auto create profile page for users that register? Please help!

Hi everyone,
I am building a site along with other people and I am the main web designer. I need to know how to have my site automatically create a users profile page when the said user registers on the site. Something very similar to YouTube or MySpace. Example: If a user where to create an account with the username bob678 the site/code would a page called examplesite.com/userid/bob678 (like I said before very similar to YouTube). I cant seem to find the answer to this anywhere but I know it is possible. Any and all help is very appreciated!
PS. I already know how to allow people to register, I just need it to create a page for them.

Ok here it is. How to create the profile page automatic after registering. I'm assuming you have created a "register.php" page and a "login.php" page. Both pages have a relationship with your database tables using PHPMySQL as well. When you created the login.php page a session variable was created. You can find it on the login page only when viewing the page in code view. The session variable will be named "MM_Username" this is case sensitive. Remember this variable.
Step 1-
        Create a new blank.php page. and save it as myprofile.php
Step 2-
        In the bindings menu under applications on the side click the + and choose "Recordset Query". Then stay in the Simple Mode and choose the database connection. Then choose the table containg the columns that you created for your register.php page. Keep the all radio button too. Then choose the database column you designated to be used for storing the username and proceed to:
                                                                                     Filter: "username"              =
                                                                                               "Session Variable"    "MM_Username"
                                                                                               "Sort"                       "None"
Step 3-
       In the Server Behaviors menu click +, User Authentication- Restrict Access to Page. Set "If access denied, go to: login.php". Then click + again, User Authentication- Log Out User.
Step 4- Insert a table on the page body. Then In the Bindings menu open the + sign of your created recordset. This will display all the columns in your database table. Place the cursur inside the page body table. Then highlight the "username" column from the Bindings menu and click the insert button. This will display the username. Repeat with all columns you wish to be displayed. Save this page.
(Remeber to edit your login.php page by setting "If login succeeds, go to: myprofile.php)
Step 5- "Synchronize Sitewide".
Step 6- Now test the function you just created by starting from the top:
Register as a new user. Once you have submitted your user information go to your login page and login with your new username and password. And if login succeeds, you will go to: myprofile.php. Once the myprofile.php page loads, your username and all the columns you inserted will be displayed. Try registering a second user and see the automatic profile page create.
The secrete in this process is the recordset query being:
                                                  Filter: "username column" = "SESSION VARIABLE" "MM_Username"
Setting up th recordset to be filtered by username tells the page to only display the records of the username that is logged in. If you were to keep the recordset query filter to "None" then every user records will be displayed on the page creating like a directory/phone book page.
To sum things up make sure to save the page as a .php first thing. Then create the recordset query. Then restrict access to the page. Then add the log out to the page. This must be done in that order before anything else.

Image slideshow with filmstrip display problem

I'm not sure whether this is the right discussion group for this and therefore if it is wrong I apologise.
Using Dreamweaver CS5 under Windows XP I've developed a new website and tested it to my satisfaction. I've now started to deploy the pages to my new live site. The majority of the deployment has been just using the Synchronize Sitewide facility. As far as I can see everything is working as expected except for one page.
This uses the Spry Image Slideshow with Filmstrip - Basic:#ImageSlideShow. In my development site the varying size pictures display with the picture and black background. In my live page when selecting a new image parts of the previous image are still showing. Can anyone please advise what I should change or need to do for the pictures to display correctly?
The live page can be found at http://baughen.co.uk/HarryBaughan.html
The above snapshot illustrates the error.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion but this code was already in at line 4.
The pan and zoom seems to have kicked in since my last change (I went back and deleted the widget and then reinserted). The problem is less noticeable unless you click on the individual thumbnails. Is there any straightforward documentation on how to manage the pan and zoom, even if it is just to remove it?
Thanks

Question re: what files & folders to upload to godaddy hosting account

I created a small website in a local folder named "lovecake." Inside are three folders named images, pages, and lightbox_assets. I have a hosting account with godaddy that allows me to have multiple sites. I have three sites on there now. The first one I uploaded before I upgraded my space so that I could have more than one site, so it is not in a separate folder. The other two are in named folders they call directories. I need to upload this site into a folder(directory) named "alina" that I created for the domain name of livelovecake.net. I plan to upload with Fetch, which I have used before rather than trying to use DW to upload because I have to make sure that I upload my sites into separate folders which I know how to do with Fetch, but am not sure how I would do it with DW. Do I need to upload the whole folder on my computer named "lovecake" with its contents into the "alina" folder, or do I just upload the folders inside "lovecake," eg., images, pages, and lightbox_assets? Will there be a problem because the folder on my computer and the folder on my godaddy hosting account have different names? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Good to hear you figured it out, sedona. Just a quick thought: Do you know about Dreamweaver's Synchronize command (Site > Synchronize Sitewide)? If not, it might be worth reading up on. Now that your site is uploaded, it can be tricky to remember what files have been modified, added, etc., once you start updating pages, making changes, and so on.

Thanks Geoff for the tip. I will read up on it. The site I just made is very simple and only 5 pages, since it is my first effort in DW and I was just getting my feet wet-have used iWeb in the past. But I hope to do something more complicated in the future, so will probably need to keep better track of stuff.

Problems synchronizing FTP in DW CS5

Hi!
I'm having an issue synchronizing files to a remote FTP server in DreamWeaver CS5. Files upload OK, but whenever I ask it to synchronize sitewide it wants to upload the ENTIRE site (4000+ files!) Obviously missing the entire point... I've tried the steps listed in the knowledgebase in this article: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405835.html to no avail.
Please help if you can!
Thanks!
Oh, also I'm running Windows 7 (64-bit)... if that matters.

I am having the EXACT same problem if I right click on a file on the remote server and click "get" DW tries to download the ENTIRE site not just that one file... it only works if I drag the file across remote and local, which is a bother is I am only using 1 window!
this does NOT happen if I right click on a file on my local machine and click "get", only on the remote server.
I am also using windows 7 64bits but this also happens on Windows 7 32 bits
UPDATE and possible fix;
in my case I had several sites that pointed to a sub-folder inside a root of one of my sites and this seem to cause that behavior, I changed each site to its own folder on my local machine and it seems to be working now hope it helps!

Dreamweaver CS3 "Check Links Sitewide" not working

(Windows XP SP2)
I am trying to use Dreamweaver CS3's "Check Links Sitewide" feature. It stops after processing some number of files, without any error message or crash. When I hover my mouse over Dreamweaver, it changes into the hourglass, which indicates that Dreamweaver thinks it is still working. I've left it running for over an hour and it still makes no progress. When I check the Task Manager, it says Dreamweaver is not responding.
I've tried cloaking a number of directories thinking it might be the number of files, but it still halts even when it is checking only 1400 files or so. (It stops about half-way). It doesn't seem to be a particular file making it halt; more like a percentage.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
regards,
Marina

Dreamweaver uses JavaScript internally to perform a lot of functions. JavaScript uses computer memory, and can be slow for large operations. You would need to ask the Adobe engineering team, but I don't think it was envisaged that people would use Dreamweaver to create sites with more than 1,000 files.
As far as I know, cloaking has no effect on things such as checking links. It's designed to prevent files from being uploaded when you perform site synchronization.
If you think there's a bug, or want Dreamweaver to be capable of checking sites in excess of 1,000 files, please file a bug/feature request to Adobe, giving details of what happens when you use Check Links Sitewide now. The official report form is here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

How do I add my Hotmail account to my Mail app on my MacBook Pro so that it synchronize automatically ?

Hi guys, I'm new to Mac. I know that you can add email accounts likeHotmail into your Mail app so that you can view, edit, modify, create and delete your emails and folders, etc. The questions I have are (1) can I see all the emails I have not just in the inbox but all the other folders as well just like if I was logging on to Hotmail via Internet Explorer ? (2) what happens if I read some emails, delete or move some emails, create new emails and send or save in draft, create or delete folders, etc in the Mail app on my MacBook Pro, will this synchronize and reflect the same on my Hotmail account if I was to logging via Internet Explorer ? How about the other way ? If so, how do I set it up on my MacBook Pro to do this automatically ?
I know that this doesn't work with Hotmail accounts on my iPhone 4 via the Mail app. Everytime I read an email or delete an email on my Mail app, it does not synchronize or reflect the same on my live Hotmail account when I logging via Internet Explorer.
Any help, guidance or advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: never mind, I was using the wrong password
