Insert THIS!

The Central Control Center of Dreamweaver is and always has been the Insert bar. I am one of those developers who rarely if ever uses the menu system unless I need something I can’t get off the Insert bar. Freestanding and named the Object toolbar in Dreamweaver through version 4, then docked in version 6 and later renamed Insert bar, the Dreamweaver engineers fixed it to the top of the document window, where it provides easy one touch access.

That`s ADOBE Dreamweaver to You

I can’t believe I’m doing this.  I’m glad to be here writing for you about the soon to be launched next generation of Dreamweaver, but I can’t believe it’s a whole version since the last time we did this.  I’m Nancy Gill and I’m very happy to have been asked by the DMX Zone to return for an encore performance and introduce to you Dreamweaver CS3, the first version of Dreamweaver to bear the company name of “Adobe.”   I remember being online around midnight on Sunday night in April of 2005 when the word came down the Team Macromedia list that the sale of our beloved Macromedia to Adobe Systems (of all companies) would be announced on Monday morning.  I never went to bed that night. As people came online over the next 4-6 hours and heard the news, there was a lot of speculation, reaction and very mixed emotions.  What was going to happen to our favorite Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash?  Had this artsy corporate giant bought out the company we had laughed with and cried over only to kill off the products we had spent close to a decade using and promoting?

Navigation – DOM Style, Part 1

As the final part of my series on Navigation, we’re going to take a different approach and use the Document Object Model (DOM) to tap into properties and methods already inherent in our document.  This is a navigational approach not often used, but one worthy of discussing.  First, we’ll talk about the theory behind this approach and, in the second half of the article, we’ll create page navigation based on what we’ve learned.  Let’s get to it.

Navigation Bars in Dreamweaver 8

Central and highly important in any web site is the site’s navigation.  It can consist of anything from simple text links to full blown flash navigation bars.  The most important part of navigation is that it be easy to follow, that it makes sense to the site’s visitor and that it’s more than flashy buttons that just “show off”.  In this article, I will show you how to use the Dreamweaver native navigation bar.

Contribute: Part 2

Administering a Contribute Site

By Zac Van Note

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

A large part of the power of Contribute comes from the ability to administer sites at a very granular level. This means you can allow one user access to modify text only in a specific area of a specific page. You can allow other users to edit any page within a certain folder, and you can allow other users to have much broader access to edit and publish pages across multiple folders or sites. 

All of this power falls under the Administration controls in Contribute. You can access these controls from a link in Dreamweaver’s Site setup dialog box, but you must have a full version of Contribute installed to configure and administer your site and its users. In Part 1, we discussed how to set up a Contribute-friendly site in Dreamweaver. In Part 2, we’ll discuss how to setup the site in Contribute, create users or groups with specific permissions and get users connected to the site.

An upcoming article titled Using Contribute will focus on the specifics of editing existing pages, creating new pages, reviewing and publishing pages. The article will be a good overview for site designers and developers and can be given to site editors for more detailed information on how to get the most out of Contribute.
