‘Dreamweaver’ Archives
Just adding some Google Analytics to a client’s site, that needed the code pasting into the <head> before the closing tag. Note: if you have pages that are built using Dreamweaver templates, look out for the <!– InstanceEndEditable –> before the closing </head> tag.
Insert the Google script after <!– InstanceEndEditable –> to get it working. You may need to do this with a file editor outside of Dreamweaver.
To quickly wrap code in tags in Dreamweaver, it’s really easy:
1. Select it (best in Code View)
When creating websites, you will have pages, images and other files that make up the site and the content. Getting everything to display on your site is a matter of styling and coding, but when you have sub-directories containing your content you need to get your paths right.
Working with Adobe Contribute is the preferred method of editing websites for many people. With it’s easy browser-turns-word processor interface, using it requires a small and gentle learning curve.
For web designers who offer or suggest this way of updating page content to their clients, it is advisable to set administration rights. In fact, if more than one person is going to be editing content, it is a good idea for one person to take on the administrator’s role so they can issue connection keys giving different levels of control to users.
Following my post yesterday, I received an updated ThemeDreamer extension by email which I have quickly tried. How great is that – a company that takes customer feedback and responds so positively!
This new version (061) works like a charm on my system. For those of you who don’t know about this extension check out this link: http://www.themedreamer.com.
If you work with Dreamweaver and want to edit your WordPress themes visually, without having to spend too much time poking around in the theme folder to work out what to edit, this is for you. I’ll add some more info about using it when I get a chance, but for now, why not try out their 15 day trial and look at the resources on their site.
After an error created by installing the new ThemeDreamer extension, I had to clear the cache on Dreamweaver. I’m on a Mac, currently running 10.5.8 and this is where you find the file:

This is a follow-up to an earlier post (Applying Links pt.1) on quickly applying links in Dreamweaver.
I have discovered that if you are editing in code view and hit Cmd + 1 (etc) the opening and closing heading tags are created around your cursor automatically. This means that whatever you type will become that heading text and you just need to press the right arrow key to move out of the tag.
In Dreamweaver CS4, the Insert bar now appears as a panel. It can be dragged and docked above the document window as per previous versions. However, be aware that (on OSX at least) there seems to be a limit to how many extensions’ tabs you are able to see. For some reason Adobe have not implemented good coding with regards to this part of the GUI and once you get to a certain point, the tabs for your extensions will get cut-off. This means that perhaps, not all of your custom extensions will be visible.
I have notified Adobe of this error.
In Dreamweaver, the Spry Accordion Panels have a default height which is fixed. If you don’t want to use this, or have unoccupied space inside the content panels you need to amend the javascript at the foot of the page:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion(“myAccordion”,{useFixedPanelHeights: false});
//–>
</script>
Also, by default the first panel is open when the page loads. If you want to start with all panels closed here’s how:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
<!–
var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion(“myAccordion”,{useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1});
//–>
</script>
