Upgrade to Dreamweaver CC to get widget browser (was: Dreamweaver CC)

Hi everybody!
I currently have Dreamweaver, Flash, and Photoshop all in CS6, I was never really looking to update until I found out that I can no longer use the Adobe widget browser. That was a big part of my designs as I would insert certain widgets. Do you guys think it is worth upgrading? I am a student so I could get the full bungle for a good discount price a month.
Thanks!

If you own a perpetual license of DWCS6 there's really no reason to upgrade and start paying monthly while you're in school (save that cash for Chipotle, Caribou and Papa Johns). Sure, there were some nifty updates, but you still have all the functionality you need in CS6 to make modern sites.
Use the Adobe Add-ons site to get widgets, extensions and what-not: https://creative.adobe.com/addons
Or better yet, learn how to add jQuery plug-ins by hand since they aren't limited by the development tool you use. There are many thousands more people online developing jQuery plug-ins than there are developing DW extensions/widgets so your library of effects is much, much larger with pretty minimal investment into learning the basics.

    can you use the widget browser in Dreamweaver CS3?

    Hallo Uta,
    das wird schwierig, denn Adobe unterstützt diese Formen nicht mehr. Ausserdem sind die meisten dieser widget mit veralteter Spry-Technik erstellt, was - ich zitiere: oft zu schlechten Ergebnissen bei neueren Geräten führt. Daher wäre es besser Du suchst eine moderne jQuery-Plugin-Galerie, Google will be your friend.   Hier nur eine kleine Auswahl brauchbarer Links:

  • Dreamweaver CS6 cannot find Widget Browser

    Dreamweaver CS6 gives me the error message "Unable to launch D:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Widget Browser\Adobe Widget Browser.exe"
    The file is actually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Widget Browser\
    This is a Windows 7 x64 system.  Dreamweaver was installed via Creative Cloud, the majority of which is installed in D:\Program Files\Adobe\
    Is there a setting that I can change so that DW is able to find the Widget Browser?
    Thanks,
    Stivan

    Hey I was facing the same error. You just need to download the widget browser from below link:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/widgetbrowser.html
    Then install it to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Widget Browser\" folder.
    And it get work fine.
    If you install the file to different location then it won't work.

    Hello,
    In order to see those folders, you may need to enable the "Show hidden folder" option on your pc (Start>Control Panel>Large Icons view>Folder options>View tab>Advanced Settings>Show hidden files, folders, and drives)
    But, it looks like some other user (JudeGr) may have found the solution. Can you try it:

  • Widget Browser in Dreamweaver CC

    I really liked being able to use some of the widgets with cs5.  Now that I have upgraded I cant find out how to do that.  I see the adobe exchange but that doesnt seem to offer the great stuff the wodget browser offered.  How do I use that again.  Or can I find nice slide show widgets and stuff like that using jquery... if so where is a good place to go to find our how to use all of that... thanks

    Hello Avery,
    the overwhelming opinion here is that the widgets from Adobe's w-browser are outdated. Adobe's strategic decision and the philosophy is clearly reflected here:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/06/a-look-at-the-modernized-dreamweaver-cc.html
    what means you better search for jquery solutions like:

  • Moving files from Dreamweaver 1 to the latest version (Was: Dreamweaver 1)

    I had the original Macromedia Dreamweaver 1. I have a website www.bodhicitta.net. I no longer have Dreamweaver 1, so I would like to know, do the recent editions of Dreamweaver recognise pages developed in Macromedia Dreamweaver 1.

    If you intend to use DW, my advice is to learn all you can about modern HTML5 and CSS code.  This is required learning to use DW.  Without a working knowledge of code basics, DW's learning curve will be very steep and frustrating.  If you understand HTML and it's relationship with CSS code, DW isn't that difficult to learn.

    That said, if code isn't your thing, you might be happier starting over with Adobe Muse which is aimed at non-coders who prefer a visual interface.    MU isn't as powerful as DW but it might be all you need to rebuild your web site.  MU is also available from the Creative Cloud for 30 day free trial.

  • Widget Browser hangs in Mac OS X 10.6.4

    Installed the Dreamweaver Widget Browser shortly after installing CS5 Web Premium on my quad-core iMac running OS X 10.6.4
    Launching the browser gives an empty screen layout and the app hangs with the color beachball.  Trashing and reinstalling makes no difference.  Application simply hangs.  Ideas anyone?

    While making sure you are using the latest version of Adobe AIR is a good start, it did not solve my problem.  The Widget Browser does use AIR but it was broken permissions that caused DW Widget Browser to hang.  Neither the good folks at Adobe or Apple could tell me which permission(s) were the culprit but a new system user was able to use and browse widgets, confirming the culprit was permissions.
    If you're moving from an old Mac to a new one, you can choose to move all of your files, apps and preferences or start from scratch; there's no in between.  Unfortunately, the Apple migrator often corrupts permissions and preferences as they are moved from an older to newer version of OS X.  Apple Support suggests that the first thing you do after migrating is to run Disk Utility and fix permissions.  This corrected thousands of settings but still didn't fix my problem with the Widget Browser.  With fast user switching enabled in your System Prefs > Accounts, create a new user and selectively share access to all of your apps and files with this user.  WARNING: do not try to share your entire Macintosh HD and enclosed items.  You risk breaking essential system permissions and your machine may fail to boot.
    This wasted hours of my time but I'm slowly getting back to normal. It was all necessary to get some Adobe apps to work correctly.  Widget Browser was not the only victim of corrupted permissions.  Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 also failed to print PDFs.
    Advice: if you are migrating to a new Mac AND plan to upgrade to the newest version of Adobe Creative Suite, uninstall all old Adobe apps on the old machine before migrating.

  • Widget Browser video

    Hey folks,
    This morning I posted about the new Spry UI and the Widget Browser.
    If you want more info on the Widget Browser, there is a good video here:

    I have e-mailed kin with a simular request, a complete Spry 1.7 zip file would be nice.
    If i remember correctly there was also a small edit in a HTML dataset.. but i'm not 100% sure.
    As the version numbers do not match up and the change log doesn't mention it..
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/ChangeLog.html
    But as you see, it is available on the "preview" section of the site..
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes/SpryHTMLDataSet.js
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/preview/SpryHTMLDataSet.js
    As for complete overview of all the new Spry 1.7 files I have manually searched the whole
    site and WidgetBrowser platform for files so i can include them in my latest version of the
    config.spry-it.com configurator.
    So instead of searching the whole site you can just fetch them out of my github repo:
    http://github.com/3rd-Eden/Spry-Configurator/tree/master/js/1.7/
    As for the broken links, I have no clue. Seems like Spry is getting less and less priority
    by Adobe as there aren't any session on Adobe Spry on MAX 2010 either ( where the last 2 years there was ).

    Or, manually use jQuery plugins.

  • Why can't i load widget browser

    I am finding it difficult to load my widget browser on CS6

    The Widget Browser was deprecated some time ago and without pushing an update for CS6 and earlier, you now get an error message.
    You can use the Adobe Add-Ons site at https://creative.adobe.com/addons for some of the old Widget Browser style stuff, but truth be told, the widgets were pretty horribly outdated and not many people were developing them anymore so a lot of folks just move to using jQuery plug-ins instead.

    “Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/exchangedwwidgetsfacade.cfc?wsdl)”)
    Seem s like a lot of other people have had this problem and most seem to have fixed it by emptying their browser cache
    Not working for me.
    I've also reinstalled Dreamweaver from scratch but still get the same error
    Any other ideas?

    Are we talking about the same product here?
    I assume so, you are the only one that can be certain. I supplied a link to the supplier as in Comments Inserter Widget for Facebook™ so that you can verify same.
    I bought it through Adobe as a Dreamweaver add-on and so I would expect there to be some means of delivery offered so that I can integrate it with Dreamweaver.
    You purchased it from the supplier after having seen it on the page that Adobe has offered as a market place for the addons. Adobe has even supplied a link to contact the supplier Contact Us / Support
