Tutorials on Dreamweaver Joomla template development

Hi. I'm looking for some recommended tutorials on DW Joomla template development. Thanks.

I don't know of any specifically for Joomla. But in the grand scheme, WordPress is similar...

I was wondering how to use Dreamweaver to create joomla template? Any ideas or useful resources.

I am embarking on a new project to create a joomla template. I need your ideas on how to use Dreamweaver to create the template. TQ

It's pretty much the same procedure with all your open source CMSs (WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!...)
Start with this 4 Part Tutorial:

I've created a website template in Dreamweaver CS3. We need

updates and information pertinent to our consumers needs. Please
help! I have no clue how to do this.

WARNING! SUSPECTED FRAUDULENT JOOMLA TEMPLATE SITE

(Template Kingdom) I am developing a free website for my cousin because she is a nice person and I am trying to learn how to use Joomla (I have been developing traditional websites in Dream Weaver for years). My cousin, Marcia, finally found a Joomla Template that she liked on a site called TEMPLATE KINGDOM. So she joined Template Kingdom and downloaded what they specified as being the template that she liked called "egg world." The resultant file that was download ended with the extension ".mht" It was merely a copy of the internet page describing the template (not a template itself). My cousin spend days sending the company dozens of e-mails to no avail...(not one word back) I looked at the company website once more and they are in INDIA with no US contact number so that we can not call them...I even found one of the owners onf Facebook and e-mailed him about our dilemna.. again no response. We suspect that this website is a scam and wanted to warn other Joomla developers.
Thank you for your time. Maybe I should just stick with Dream Weaver.. Just thought I would help my cousin and learn something new!

If you know the name of the original author of the joomla template - you may want to send them an email so they can chase down the template in case it is in violation of copyright.
If you google the name of the template, I'm sure you'll turn up the genuine authors' name and take it from there.
There are many reliable Joomla sites are out - even free templates - so I wouldn't give up just because of one corrupt seller :-) As you say, it's the only way to learn Joomla.

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Editting Joomla Templates in Dreamweaver

I got my site and everything set up in Dreamweaver to my local server, I can view it in live view via index.php and when I go into live code to look at the code for stuff I want to change, then when I go to turn live code off to edit any changes, it brings me right back to the index.php code. I'd like to be able to easily find the files and code I need to edit at any given time since I don't know where most things are located.

Dreamweaver 8 templates not displaying flash files

Dear friends:
I have developed an interactive banner with animation and
links using Flash 8. I imbeded the banner into a Dreamweaver 8.0.2
document and published it to test the banner. Everything worked
just fine. I then saved that document as a template and created my
editable regions. When I ran the preview, everything was still
working well, I then created a new HTML documant using that
template and published it. I found that the HTML page elements
posted just fine but my Flash banner would not load. The browser
kept trying to load the file and stated, "one item remaining" in
the status bar indefinately. I have never run into this problem in
the past and the only thing that that I have changed is adding the
new active control plugin for Flash and updating Dreamweaver to
8.0.2. Any assistance you could lend would be greatly appreciated,
Kindest Regards,
Mr. Grey

What you will have to do is to delete and then remake this
inserted Flash
element, and make sure you use a ROOT RELATIVE link to the
Flash, rather
than a document relative one. That would make your code look
like this -
,'width','770','height','284','src','/assets/hfcchome','quality',
and it will then work.

Problem uploading web content (Templates) developed in DW CS6 and Liquid layouts

Hi
I have developed some templates in Dreamweaver CS6 and Liquid Layouts
However when I want to preview them in a browser, they come out blank (No Data at all)
I have tried this without Liquid and works fine, minor bugs that can be fixed like background image not visible
It seems the problem its at the BC system
Will appreciate help on this matter
Thanks

Mario, person made the same thread 4 times now:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1099238
Just keeps posting the same post in a new thread over and over.

Dreamweaver 8 Templates

Here is what I am/have done and I can not get the template to
work:
I opened a new page in Dreamweaver 8 and put the page
together including all meta tags and saved it as a template
(template.dwt) in a templates folder on my local root. From there,
I opened a new page, applied the template to the page and saved it
as a html file (say aboutus.html) and I did the same with all the
necessary pages for the website. (cntact.html, history.html, etc.)
From there, I went back into the template and I added all the
links to the buttons and I saved the template. Dreamweaver asked me
to update all the pages that the template is attached to and I said
yes. HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
On all the html pages I created from the template, NONE of
those links became active and they never updated as they were
suppose to. I am running Dreamweaver 8.0.2 and my buttons to update
are all rollovers (if that matters). I did try to manually update
them through >modify>templates>update pages and that did
nothing as well.
Heres the layout of the page for reference:
I have a header across the top contained inside a table (1
row, no columns) (which can not be changed)
I have a second table underneath the header that has 2
columns and 1 row. The left column is where the buttons are and the
right column will be where the text goes. I have tried to make the
whole table an editable region, and I tried to make just the
buttons on the left column an editable region, and neither seemed
to work.
Finally, I have a third table underneath the buttons that
contains the footer (1 row and no cloumns) (which will not change).
Can someone help me figure out why I can not use templates in
this manner? The website I am creating will be MUCH EASIER to
update if I can get this template to work as it is suppose to.
Please help me??? - AJ

How did you do this? FILE | Save, or FILE | Save As Template?

Is the navigation element in an editable region of the
template? If so,
then this is exactly what should happen. You would (almost)
never want to
have navigation elements in a template editable region.

Dreamweaver 8 template update pages problem

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
I just upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and am getting very
frustrated with it so far. When I change a template and allow it to
update the pages using that template, it automatically inserts the
following code on each page which shows up then as TEXT on the page
and I have to go and manually delete it on every page using the
template.


Can we see the rest of the page?

Dreamweaver CS3 - template help

I am unable to get my website to fit in the middle of the
screen. It looks fine on my pc but on some, it spreads out to fit
the entire screen. I would rather have it fit in the middle with
the spaces hanging on both sides... (maybe I chose the wrong
template) Can you advise in the simplest way (since I know nothing
of codes etc) how best to fix this.
Thank you

Dreamweaver CS3 Template

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3. I use a template that I've always
been able to make changes and automatically update the pages that
use it on save. I've made some changes to the template, but when I
go to update all the pages using that template it says:
Done.
files examined: 1183
files updated: 0
files which could not be updated: 0
total time: (0:00:02)
Nothing is updated. I have a large site to update and am in
desperate need of help.
Thanks!!

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If
you *have
done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DWCS3) using
FILE | New > Page
from Template, select the template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?
Or, read this -

Dreamweaver CS6: Template not updating pages

I have developed a small promotional site using Dreamweaver CS6. Virtually all pages have been designed around a single template, and this has worked well throughout development.
However, I'm now noticing that updates applied to the template (updates to an uneditable region) are being passed to only a few of the pages.
Here is a page not being updated by the template: http://www.purepowerengine.com/about.htm
Thank you in advance.
