I hear you! This situation is due to my own inexperience. I will be more adept at allowing this not to happen in the future. I have now refused to take on two clients because of this very thing in the last couple months. I blame it on Wix and such sites for making it sound so easy. A point I bring up every time now.

I am wondering if anyone has tried using Foundation for Emails? Does this take care of some of these issues?

Thanks, Liam but I didn't use templates. They wanted free reign. I am thinking that was a mistake on my part. I guess we will have to revisit that topic.

Wow, thanks, Fritz I didn't realize that. Myself I am not using DW anymore except for Business Catalyst and only because I haven't taken the time to figure out another way. I think if it wasn't for BC I would stop my subscription altogether. I am wondering when Adobe is going to figure out that Browser based tools are the future. Actually, the future is here now. I have a few tools that are better easier and browser based replacing Photoshop and Experience Design which are the two I used. A different Editor that is light weight and does everything DW does for free. The help with selectors was nice in the beginning but I use Dash/Kapeli for docs now which I can't use with DW. I have a sentimental attachment with DW because it is the first editor I used that I felt like I was actually coding. I just wish they would realize which way that development is going. Javascript has taken over and they act like it doesn't exist. How can they even develop "new" stuff without taking that into account? I mean a few months ago they finally added Git integration!!! Even though I still have it installed on my home machine I do not on my laptop which is kinda sad. Do they get any new users anymore?

I figured this out. When the client uses the WYSIWYG editor the system goes through and sees the twitter script in a <a> Tag and thinks it's wrong so removes and updates it with an iframe how twitter used to write the script. Does anyone have ideas on how to stop this? JavaScrip?

I know this has been asked before but I have a different issue than the other questions. I have gotten the code from Twitter and the JS script for the head tag and plop it in where I want it. The timline works great styled how I want. There's a catch though it is like it times out or BC finally catches it and wraps it in a iframe. It is actually being changed in the code to an iframe. I put it in a <a> tag and come a week later it has been removed and an iframe is in it's place! Weird at first I thought it was just me who messed up but this is the third time. Any one know a script to programmatically keep this from happening? Thanks!

is there a foundation app on app store for bc that helps this? I know it is an extra cost but was wondering if it works well. I am thinking of changing all my sites from here on out to Foundation.

Thanks for the reply. In editors you have the option to show the help when you hit a key map. In another editor I use it uses the docs that it already has as well as Dash. There is no back and forth from app to app. Before I used that I didn't care, now that I have it's really the only way.

What more should DW be doing with the Multi-Cursor and the Find and Replace? For me the F/R is fine but I hear a lot of people complain. I am wondering what I should be doing. I am being serious as I think I may be missing something here. The Multi-Cursor thing I think can be better because VSCode is free and it works way better. Here is about F/R in the DW Docs: Find and replace text, tags, and attributes This is VSCode's explanation of Multi-Cursor but it does more: Box Selection - press any combination of ⇧⌥⌘↓, ⇧⌥⌘→, ⇧⌥⌘↑, ⇧⌥⌘← to select a block of text, you can also press ⇧⌥ while selecting text with the mouse. Add a cursor - press ⌥⌘↑ or ⌥⌘↓ to add a new cursor above or below, you can also use your mouse with ⌥+Click to add a cursor anywhere. Create cursors on all occurrences of a string - select one instance of a string e.g. background-color and press ⇧⌘L. Now you can replace all instances by simply typing. One other thing. Does anyone know how to incorporate Dash/Kapeli with DW. I think this latest release has done a lot for me with stabilizing things. Especially on my Laptop, it works a lot better. Thanks, everyone.

Well, I finally decided to use a different editor and it works fine. It shows me that when DW drags in the files from BC it is adding the extension and the editable regions all on its own. I went so far as to take all the files into a different editor and change all the extensions back to HTML. Then delete project on BC, start a new site, upload to BC from the diff editor, delete the version on my computer and import all the files into DW. Guess what it grabbed all those files and added the DWT extension and added all the editable regions. Funny thing is that when I view those files in the BC editor I don't see all that. SO, I guess it really doesn't matter?? I just decided to use an editor without all the fluff and go about it that way I really don't need DW for this part.

Yea true about the updates! Coda 2 Release Notes - Panic Library all though it doesn't seem abandoned it could be much better. Like DW was for a long time. The subscription thing is getting out of hand and seems the new norm. It will get to the point it will be very expensive to do anything. How will one keep up unless you write your own shit.

I've been using Cloud 9 and Coda 2. What is great about 9 is it is browser based and that is awesome. Coda 2 is great that it syncs across everything. I have it on my laptop, Desktop, iPad and, though don't use it, my iPhone. It syncs all your projects which is awesome and works. It is stuff like this that DW needs to do. To get git should have been way down the list. It is way to easy to use Sourcetree or the GitHub app. What are they thinking? They need to catch up. I was a big fan and now by it working so poorly I am starting to rethink my whole CC subscription. Really for what I do the only thing keeping me around at this point is BC and I think they are about to sell that. We shall see.

Thanks for the help, i do appreciate it. The one thing I will say is that the extension comes from DW obviously and it automatically puts in editable region comments which I remove and are not needed. Just is. It also puts a editable region tag and comment in the head section when I check the box in BC not to. So something is amiss. I am thinking it has to do with what that and I am missing something through that process. Thanks again and have a great day! Sent from my iPhone

If you see DWT files in the online folder the conversion and site setup in DW is not correct -- I do have the dwt extension on the Template file on the remote server. I create the template files in BC and then bring them into DW to edit. I then pull out the part for the html file and put the rest in the Template file. I re-upload to server. Is this the wrong tactic? What is the proper way? Thank you.

Everything is in the proper place, I believe, in the tree. Look at pic please to see what you think. The problem is not that I can't get it to work, I can. It works, but I have to use the Editor in the browser on BC and Paste the code there. It will not allow me to upload to that file from FTP. The file is created in BC then put to my remote folder to edit. All my other files get/put fine, just not the template file. It will not put. I always double check each file as I go so if it doesn't work I will know what the issue is.

Hi All, I must be doing something wrong. I am making templates, doing so in DW. It is updating the html file but when I push the Template file it doesn't take it on the BC side. I have to go to BC and paste in the content of the Template file into the BC editor for it to work. I am trying to add includes and it will not update the Template file on the server. It doesn't matter if I am working on the files in the remote or local folders. I get the DW warning that I am saving a file without an editable region, which isn't true. Is there a preference I should be setting in DW? It is a real pain to be going back and forth so much and it gets harder when trying to add includes. Thanks !

Many other programs have integrated FTP now and I am wondering what is next for DW to make people stick around. I think they have to integrate a terminal for one and fix the find and replace panel that have pissed so many off. I also think they should cater to the Javascript community a little more and do like PS is doing by offering you to download assets instead of having them in DW from the jump. Like different Frameworks and Stacks all set up and ready to go. All you have to do is download them and everything is in the tree and ready to run the watch command. I think that with the like of Cloud 9, my new fav, or even Codenywhere although I am not a fan. They are in trouble. What do you think?

There is an option in Dreamweaver to allow you to view documentation on say a selector or attribute. Like in other editors. If you are not sure what it does they have docs you can look at if you right click. Some even allow you to use outside programs like Dash. Say Xcode for instance.

Is there a way to get DW to use an outside source for Quick Docs? Like most programs allow you to sync with Dash. I have yet to find something quick docs comes up a result for anything so I think it isn't working anyway.

It doesn't facilitate but totally worth a look. I think because I have been using Foundation that Handlebars seems simpler to me. They make it easy to use with their framework. Liquid is very similar to Handlebars the way I see it. BC uses Liquid and it may have a larger learning curve than what I'm doing now but I am going to try to set things up that way. From what I understand it gives much more functionality to anyone using their CMS. Just have to get in there and figure it out. Thanks Ben and Nancy, as always great info!

Hey Nancy, is this similar to Handlebars? Do you like that? Only reason I ask is I am finding out about Handlebars (Foundation uses it) and how awesome it is and really similar to Liquid with its includes. I'm not Php at all yet so was wondering if this is something similar and can cross over knowledge wise and I would have a leg up when I get there. By the way you are a wealth of info and I appreciate the time you take here!

I have the everytime I click something in live view it goes to the top of the page and then I have to scroll back to where I was. For your #2 did you ever try the quick edit for CSS? I know it will not be the end all be all but in some situations, it could help.
