Dreamweaver and Drupal
zoon_unit - March 8, 2007 - 20:58
I'd like to get some feedback from anyone else who uses Dreamweaver to work with Drupal.
Here's my situation:
First, I saved a static version of the Drupal front page with the Garland theme, using Firefox's "Save Complete Page" plugin. This, so I could load the static html into Dreamweaver and edit styles.
If I do this with a table based theme like bluemarine, the static page looks just as it does in the browser.
But when I load a tableless, css based theme like Garland, all the divs pile up in one corner. And yet, I can load this same static page into Firefox and it displays perfectly.
Shouldn't Dreamweaver 8 be capable of showing css positioning correctly in the design screen? What's happening here?
may be...
why you just go to theme folder and look the code directly? is the file page: page.tpl.php inside garland theme. about see visually the theme structure. if you do a direct link to style.css ( it is inside the theme folder) you can see the design, drupal use a dinamic link to css so if you dont see it in a server you cant see the css styles.
Dreamweaver does not recognize the tpl.php
If I load the page.tpl.php file, Dreamweaver sees it only as php code and will not render it in Design view.
Besides, if Dreamweaver can't render a tableless form in straight html, it certainly isn't going to be able to do it with a dynamic php document.
div tags and dreamweaver
starting with Dreamweaver CS3 it will render the div tags correctly.
I have been doing php/mysql/dreamweaver sites for years. However do to some new requirements for my church (that Im volunteering my time for) I am interested in using a CMS. I already have a template designed in dreamweaver. Is there a way to convert it to a drupal template? The code is all css/div/xhtml.
