Has anyone got the documentation for the following Extensions please?

[Pat_Mc]

Please only respond if the answer to the following question is yes.

I would like copies of the on-line help files for the following PVII extensions

• AMM Adaptive Menu Magic
• Art Gallery Magic
• Harmony
• Slide out Panel magic
• ZeitGeist pagePack

Have you got any please? (they were on-line html versions not pdf's. The site is now closed. I've checked in the various web archives online without luck.)

Please note.

If you want a more general discussion around the topic of Dreamweaver and its alternatives, please don't use this post but either create a seperate post or feel free to continue on my original post here

Thanks Pat

Ironic that Al would say that! But it's true if you can handle it. I'm too busy making travel videos to spend that much time learning minutia of CSS, so I rely on plugins.

Hi Dennis,

I will be exploring too.. I once designed with a web guy knowledgeable in Wordpress. this site: https://www.aangelhealthservices.com/ I learned there are many WP templates and the learning curve depends on how much you want to go beyond the preformatted areas.. I SAHRE from Nancy and hope her comments help others in transit as well!

@denniscallan and @Lana B Cal,

For anyone considering WordPress, definitely explore Block Themes.  Unlike the Classic WordPress PHP Themes, Block Themes give you full site editing with drag & drop ease of use all from within the WordPress dashboard -- no third party plugins, coding or external software needed.

Block Themes are a major innovation to WP.  For more details, see below.

Thank you Nancy. I will keep in touch and I am sure there is a vast Adobe community I need to learn about. This time of year is hectic so I am going to dig into the Py user guides fro Dennis and ones that I have for answers to coding issues I might encounter... it was so convenient to ssay, " Hey Gerry...."  HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all 

[Nancy OShea]

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Hello Dennis, thank you so much for sharing your PVII manuals etc. After using Dreamweaver and PVII for many years, I have been exploring wordpress and the plugin Elementor Pro for some months now and am very happy with it (even with the Elementor sub it's far cheaper). I'm just waiting to be able to transfer the last of my Dreamweaver sites and then I am leaving for good. The present incarnation of WordPress is easy to use and there are some excellent tutorials to follow on YouTube - some free and others paid. I can highly recommend the videos and courses by Imran Siddiq at WebSquadron.com.

Hi Anne, We are going through a similar transition to WordPress, a new adventure. I was also interested in the Elementor plugin, but then discovered the paid version must be continually renewed, $90/yr, or it takes away your page structures. I'm looking for a helpful buy-out plugin, anyone with suggestions? Thanks for the link to WebSquadron.com

Save your money.  You don't need Elementor.  Use WP Block Themes. See my previous post.

Looks like that dreaded day has come! I think I have every PVII Extension ever offered and have about 50 client websites that are all dependent on those extensions and DW. This may end up driving me out of business as nobody is going to pay me to rebuild their sites on another platform! ALL of my PVII sites have been performig flawlessly - some going back 15 years. This is really sad news.

[Lana B Cal]

Hi John,

I started with P7 in 2013. Prior, I was hand coding and using jquery, etc. A web friend told me about P7.  P7 coding is stable, clean and the templates can be custom designed.  I was in shock to learn P7 shut down without any notice. However after several days and posting in this conversation, I have decided not to rush to change and continue using Dreamweaver and the P7 extensions.  My client from 2014 just reconnected for a new page added to his website. My templates go forward for now!!  http://www.dreambuildersofthefloridakeys.com/index.html.  So, I am not going to be hasty to leave P7.

There is SO much information on coding in the user guides!! I would love to get P7 user guides from you that I need if you have them.. Would this be possible? Thank you!

Lana

[johnd59898678]

Ii don't have any user guides. I used to rely heavily on the PVII Forum when I would run into issues, but they took the forum offline about a year or so ago. The Forum had LOTS of answers.

[Lana B Cal]

At the very top of this page there is a link to down load P7 user guides from Dennis.

By @Lana B Cal

About the same time that Dreamweaver dropped server behaviours and I started to look for an alternative IDE.

So, I am not going to be hasty to leave P7.

By @Lana B Cal

I trust you have contingency plans in place for when Dreamweaver's demise is formally announced.

[Lana B Cal]

HI Ben, I appreciate your advise and tool suggestion. I will check into Wappler in 2025.... too hectic now. Thank you!!

I trust you have contingency plans in place for when Dreamweaver's demise is formally announced. Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

I was dismayed when Gerry didn't return emails this week too. I found a sale on all CoffeeCup.com plug ins. I have used CC for forms for years. They offer a mega menu, an interface called "blocks" which looks like OmniPanel and a few other similar plug ins. First tests of creating a module, copying the code, and using it a DW page worked. It is early on for a full report but it looks promising. I expect I will use cc code as php includes to keep conversion of older sites easier to sort out. 

[bizpat]

If anyone is interested, when WebAssist.com lost Ray, I volunteered to manage that forum. When it ran into trouble, fixed now, I set up an alternate forum. I would be happy to add a P7 section if there is interest. Let me know. 

https://webassist-pro.com/WAforum/index.php

Happy to add it if anyone thinks a thread dedicted to P7 would help. Please note this is peer-to-peer help.

[BenPleysier]

Patrice (@bizpat), this is a great! You should be commended providing such a service.

[bizpat]

I added a category for Project Seven. Peer-to-peer assistance. I hope it help.

[Lana B Cal]

Thank you! Communication will help everyone find their path to transition!
