Transfer Settings Dreamweaver CS3

I would like to know if there is a way to transfer all my
saved settings, (FTP access info, Snippets, etc.), from one
computer to another. I use Dreamweaver CS3 and will be buying a new
computer soon. Is it a simple matter of copying a folder from the
App Data, or is something more involved? Windows Vista 32 Bit
Thank you.

Hi - thanks for your reply to both of you. At the top level I
have the index.htm. At the same level I have the images folder and
within that all the images. i wanted to attach an image of what I'm
seeing when I look at this page in DW but there is no place to
attach here. I see broken links on all images that come from the
template that the page is based on, but I can see the image that is
in the document itself except one. On that one I noticed there was
a leading slash which when removed the image appeared. I have
experimented with one of the sites (the least important). I have
attached style sheet from new location and that now works. I found
that most of the images were set to site root but were showing
something like ////f:/C... etc as the URL so I reassigned the image
to site root and all the images appeared in DW but not in preview
in browser and then uploaded the whole site and most of the images
did not appear again. I compared the ones that did appear to the
ones that don't and found that any set to site root, even though it
was showing the correct file path, were not showing. Now I have
gone back in to test again and into the template and have changed
one of the images to document so it now is ../images/imagename.jpg
and uploaded and that now works. So does this mean I MUST use the
document path and not the site root path? What is the reason for
using one over the other? What am I doing wrong in the site root
method. The site all sits in a folder created by the host called
public_html but this does not show up in the URL if you visit the
site. In DW it would be set to domainname.co.uk and the host
directory is set to /public_html/ then at next level you have
index.htm and images folder with all the images. When the images
that didn't work were set to site root the properties of the file
location on the server show up as
domainname/public_html/images/imagename - and this should also find
them because that folder does exist. I do not enter the
/public_html/ folder anywhere but in the site definition where it
is listed as 'host directory' because all my files have to sit
within this folder. The images that work and are set to document
show up in properties as domain/images/imagename - so is it the
addition of this public_html folder within the URL of the image
that is causing the problem? If so how can I avoid that if DW is
picking it up from the host directory in site definition? Which is
better to use, site root or document relative? Sorry to be a pain
but before I go through any more pages and sites making the changes
I want to make sure I'm making the right changes with your
guidance. many thanks for your help. You can check what I'm going
on about at www.willowlane.org.uk where I have left the missing
images for now. many thanks. Tracy

Dreamweaver CS3 crashing when importing site settings

Hi,
I've installed a copy of Dreamweaver CS3 on a new Vista 64-bit machine. I've tried to import .ste files pertaining to some sites which I copied over from my old computer (where things were slow but working). When I import the .ste files, it brings in the settings, but as soon as I click on "done", Dreamweaver crashes. I've tried this on a couple of sites now, and still the same crash at the same point.
How do I get this working?
Thanks,
Derek

Bypassing Firewall/Proxy Settings with Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
The company that I work for has given us Dreamweaver CS3 and
it's great, however we have a problem with the companies firewall
blocking Dreamweaver from seeing external images when in "Design"
view. I have search throughout Google for a solution and have yet
to find one. I come here in the hopes that someone can help. Our IT
department has told me that the firewall solution they use does not
allow rule sets per application, so they cannot just say "allow
this program to use the web". This leaves me in a tough spot, but
they said in Dreamweaver CS3 has a way to setup a proxy and allow
it to bypass our firewall that would make this quick and easy. Does
DW have something like this, and if so then please point me in the
right direction!
I appreciate all assistance.
Regards,
John

Maybe not per application but certainly by PC or IP adress.
Can they put
your IP adress in a rule less agressif.

"New" Godaddy webhosting account's won't work w/Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
I am having problems getting my Godaddy webhosting account's to work with Dreamweaver CS3. My older accounts work, it is my newer (last 6 months) accounts that have this issue. The ftp information works in my CuteFTP8 Professional. I called Godaddy tech support several times and they could not figure out. And, since it works in my FTP program, they said it is a Dreamweaver issue.
In the FTP host Remote Info I have tried www.domain.com, domain.com, ftp.domain.com with login and password. I also tried checking Use passive FTP, Use IPv6 Transfer mode, Use Secure FTP (SFTP) and leaving them all unchecked. The error message I always get is:
An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. No response from the server. This may be due to one or more of the following reasons: etc.
I compared information with my Dreamweaver accounts that do worked and still no luck.
The only thing I can think of is when you create a new hosting account with Godaddy, depending on the month, you are assigned a different web server. Could it be the old Godaddy web servers work and the new web servers may have different settings that don't work with Dreamweaver? Or, I need different setting information??? I am at my wits end.
Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
MonaE

Hi Mona:
If your FTP client works, then there has to be some miniscule detail that's different between that setup and what you're inputting into your DW Manage sites. Maybe you should print out your successful FTP setup details, and compare to what's in your DW...
If this helps, this info came from GoDaddy's help section:
From the Site menu, select Manage Sites.
In the Manage Sites box, Click New, then choose Site.
In the Site Definition box, enter the name and URL of your website and clickNext.
If a certain type of server technology is necessary for the site to function, selectyes. Otherwise, select no and click Next.
For working with files during development, select Edit local copies on my machine...(recommended). It is very important that they select this option.
Enter connection information as follows:
How do you connect to your remote server?
FTP
What is the hostname or FTP address of your web server?
ftp.domainname.com
What folder on the server do you want to store your files in?
/ or blank
Enter your FTP login and FTP Password
Click Next.
For checking in and out files, select No, do not enable..
Review the summary to be sure all information is accurate, then click Done.
I have a dozen sites hosted at GD, and in most cases (where I had trouble), it was operator error. Good luck!
Regards, Ned

Dreamweaver CS3 strange FTP problem

Helllo,
I have just passed from windows to Mac (I got Leopard) .... I
have installed Dreamweaver CS3
and I have imported all the site definition (like Host FTP,
username, password, etc...) from the windows version
But when I try to connect to any server, I recive this error
"An FTP error occured - cannot make connection to host
no response from the server this may be due to one or more
reasons:
- Accessing the server requires firewall settings that aren't
properly set. Please verify that the firewall settings in the Site
category of the Preferences dialog box are properly set, and that
the Use Firewall option in the Site definition dialog box is
selected.
- The server may be accepting only passive mode or only
active mode. Toggling the "Use Passive FTP" checkbox may help you
establish a connection.
- If you are connecting to an IPv6 enabled server, please
select "Use IPv6 transfer mode" checkbox in the Advanced site
definition dialog.
- Your local firewall may be blocking the incoming FTP data.
Please disable it to see if it makes a difference.
- It is possible your FTP may be using a non-standard FTP
port (21). If you need to specify a non-standard port, enter the
port number after host name separated by a colon":". "
I have tryed to use other FTP programs and I got mix results:
Cyber Duck and Fetch are working
Fugu and Filezilla for Mac do not connect to any server
I am clueless .... .... can someone give me a hand?
thanks in advance

Are you running a firewall?

Links Problem in Dreamweaver CS3 !

I recently reinstalled my Dreamweaver CS3. Now everytime i save a file, it saves the whole directory path with the file name. So when i opened my index page and saved it with some changes, all my css tables have been lost. and all the links in the file are relative to my system directory.
BEFORE, it was index.html
AFTER SAVE, it is "C:\Documents and Settings\Idiot User\index.html"
this has happened to EACH link that i used in my page, so even the css stylesheet is not working.
the entire website appears perfectly in Dreamweaver, but when i upload the files to my webspace, the links link to "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Delvin/My%20Documents/CBPC%20Website/sermons.html" , for example.
also when i change the links, image locations to the File-only, and remove the directory bit, the images disappear in dreamweaver.
Everything was working perfectly, until i re-installed the program. Can anyone suggest a way in which every file and every link is synced; so it is what it says it is WYSIWYG !

i do NOT think that it is a helpful answer .
You may not think so, but it sounds like a very plausible explanation and a mighty good place to start looking.
In your site definition settings, are your links relative to Document or Site Root?
Which operating system are you using?
Did you get all the latest updates for CS3 since re-installing?

Dreamweaver CS3 to CS4

Can someone tell me how to keep all of my spry settings that
I have created in my web sites using Dreamweaver CS3 and now that I
am upgrading to CS4?
I don't want to have to go into my sites and have to make all
of those corrections since there are a lot of sites that I would
have to make changes too.
Thanks.

Try selecting the text and using Ctrl-B.

Flash CS3 versus Dreamweaver CS3! Or Other??

Hi all,
i am about constructing a profoshionnal web site...
and i don't know the best and more wide and advanced software doing that,
i am ezitated between Adobe Flash CS3 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 ??
Please advise me,
Thanks

Dreamweaver and Flash are different, but complimentary, tools. They do different things.
I would say that if you're not not familiar enough with Flash to judge how well it might work for you, then you're better off putting Flash to the side and worry about a tool like Dreamweaver for now.
Dreamweaver has many competitors, but you're unlikely to find any to match it for production work. However, for iTunes U, the tough part is getting your transfer CGI working -- that is your biggest concern -- and neither Flash nor Dreamweaver is going to help you much in that department. Best to concentrate on getting the transfer CGI working, in my humble opinion. 'Course no harm in learning Dreamweaver while doing so.

Golive 6.0 to Dreamweaver CS3 or CS4

About a year ago I called customer service and asked if I upgraded Golive 6.0 to CS3 the migration kit would work, I actually still have the chat record with customer service where I specifically asked them if I could migrate. I was told yes so my company purchased Dreamweaver CS3. Of course when I tried the gl2dw migration, it didn't work and I opened a support ticket and went back and forth with support for weeks trying resolve the issue. I asked for a trial of golive 9 or cs2 so I could upgrade and they sent me invalid links. Finally after a few weeks I was just basically told too bad we can't help you, offered me a refund if I hadn't installed the software which of course I had. So I have had cs3 for over a year and haven't ever used it. Now I see CS4 is out and it says that you can migrate from golive 6.0. Is that really true? Have they ever fixed it so you can upgrade 6.0 to CS3? I can't even get the upgrade version for CS4 because I used my upgrade on CS3. I have a company website with over 500 web pages I need to convert. I really need to upgrade to DW and soon. My company buys thousands of dollars of software and licenses from adobe every year, we are a non profit agency and I can't keep spending money on things that don't work! This is extremely frustrating. HELP!

Making changes site wide can be accomplished 2 ways but in reality unless you are using a dynamic site that draws its page designs from a central template page.
In retrospect you may want to consider creating a Library item first for anything you may want to change site wide (The first way). Being that you are not there yet you will probably want to use the Edit > Find and Replace from the menu bar (The second way).
Simply open up the file you have changed and another you have not. Next (assuming the option is not right in front of you) on the menu bar: View > Code and Design, making sure you can see both code and Design in both files. Then from the menu bar: Edit > Find and Replace. Copy the code regarding the object that you want to change making sure that you copy any opening and closing tags if appropriate from the unchanged file then paste in into the FIND box. Do the same with the file that you have changed except you will paste that into the REPLACE box also making sure that you have copied the same area.
Make sure Find and Replace Settings are:
Find in: Entire current local site
Search: Source code
Then press the Replace All button.

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.

right-click on one of these types of files.
pick "open with" and browse to and pick dreamweaver.
put a checkmark in the box where it says:
"Always use the selected program
to open this kind of file"
repeat for the other files types.
Or- go to My Computer
Under the top menu, pick Tools-->Folder options-->File
types and change the
settings for those file extensions.

CF8 + Dreamweaver CS3 - Unable to access Coldfusion Enhancements

So here's the deal. I recently upgraded to both CF8 and
Creative Suite CS3 (woo!) and wanted to use the CF Login Wizard
included as part of the Coldfusion enhancements. Despite having set
up my sites using CF as the testing server, the enhancements
weren't unlocked.
I checked the Dreamweaver / livedocs help for more on the
subject and
found
this article saying that the enhancements can only be unlocked if
you have CF set as your testing server.. Ok . . . and what if
you did that (and have always done that) and it still doesn't work?
All of my software is fully patched, too.
Is the problem that Dreamweaver CS3 doesn't recognize CF8 and
is therefore not unlocking the enhancements? Are there any
work-arounds? I've spent over an hour checking forums and different
websites without any success. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
in advance.

Your question is a little vague. In order to assist you, one
must know what environment you are in. Assuming that you are using
a local computer, using windows (non NT), and setting up cf8
developer edition in order to have a coldfusion virtual server to
test webs on:
You must make sure IIS is turned OFF. Clear the internet
information services box from the windows add/remove programs >
add/remove windows components screen.
When you install Coldfusion, make sure you use the default
settings when clicking through the setup and remember your
coldfusion password. The default setting for localhost port is 8500
Add coldfusion options to dreamweaver using adobe exchange.
Most important parts: Move any website you are trying to
access into the c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\ folder.
Edit your site in dreamweaver throught the site > manage
sites > edit > advanced tab
on the Local Info Tab type in:
Local Root Folder = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname
Image Folder = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname\images
http://localhost:8500/yoursitesname/
on the Remote Host tab:
check the tab Local/Network
type C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname\
on the Testing Site tab:
choose Coldfusion > Local/Network
Testing Server folder = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\yoursitesname\
URL Prefix =
http://localhost:8500/yoursitesname/
You can't just point to http://localhost/ as you would using,
say, wamp5.
Once I did this I was able to use everything fine.

Dreamweaver CS3 Design View Problem

I am trying to edit a Dreamweaver site using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP workstation at work. The site structure was developed by an outside vendor and has been designed using CSS for positioning -- no tables. It is my responsibility to finish the site using template pages provided. When viewing the site in several browsers -- both Mac and PC, everything is fine. When I open the site in Dreamweaver CS3 Windows, all of the positioning is off -- the menus that should be flush left of the text colum, instead, appear at the top of the text column. This issue is repeated throughout the site. Since I am using existing pages as templates for new ones, I'm forced to make edits in code view, upload and then view in my browser. My outside vendor, so far, does not have an answer to this.
This weekend at home, I've installed an old Dreamweaver 8 trial version on my Macintosh. I downloaded the site and everything looks fine in Design View. Any ideas? Is this a settings issue on my Windows version of Dreamweaver? I do have the Style Rendering setting set to Screen Media type.

Hi,
I found this thread after searching and searching for an answer as to why my Design View in DW CS3 started disappearing (even in split view). It will show a partial view, but never the entire view all at once, even after restarting my PC. I have been using CS3 for a few years now and it just started having this issue. When this issue started, nothing had changed on my computer. There has to be a fix for this. Why did it work fine all these years and now, no design view????
