How to Make a Hit Counter in DreamweaverIn Feburary 2016 18,
In Feburary 2016 18,
Navigate to your Web host's homepage and see if they offer free hit counters. If they don't, go to another Web host that does. Bravenet, for example, offers free hit counters and other Web tools even if you don't have a host account with them (see Resources).
Click the link to the hit counter tool. You may need to register with the Web host in order to download the code, but the registration should be free. If not, look elsewhere. Bravenet's hit counter is free.
Click the button to create a new hit counter. You will be prompted to enter a name for the counter and provide the URL of the page you want to add the counter to.
Choose settings and then the look for your counter.
Select (highlight) and copy the Javascript code the Web host puts on the screen for you.
Open Dreamweaver and open the Web page you want to add the hit counter to.
View the HTML code for your page by clicking the 'CODE' button at the top of the window, then click at the location where you want the counter to appear. Usually counters are placed at the bottom of the page above the closing 'BODY' tag.
Select 'Paste' from the Edit menu and the code for the hit counter will be inserted. Save changes, upload the page to your Web server and view it in your Web browser to test.
Use a Free PHP Script
Use your Web browser to download a free PHP hit counter script from the Internet, such as the one at phpjunkyard.com (see Resources).
Go into your site in Dreamweaver and create a new folder in your local files list called 'counter.'
Place the PHP script and any files that came with it in this folder and read the instructions that come with the script for any special customization steps you need to take. Sometimes this information is on the Web page before you download, or it's a 'readme' file included in the download.
Open the hit counter PHP file in Dreamweaver. Change to 'CODE' view if necessary. There should be very clear instructions from the programmer at the top of the file about what variables you need to customize.
Make any necessary changes to the PHP code following the programmer's instructions. Save and close the file.
Open the Web page you want to add the counter to and save it with the extension .php instead of htm or .html. To run PHP on your page, you need this file extension or the commands will be ignored. View the HTML code on this file.
Click at the location where you want the hit counter to appear (anywhere above the closing 'BODY' tag), and paste in a PHP call to the hit counter file according to the instructions that came with your script. The code would look something like:
</script'>http://www.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/counter/gcount.php'><!--//--></script>.
Add a link back to the programmer's website under the counter (it's the considerate thing to do if you're using someone else's script for free), save changes to the file, then upload the php Web page and the counter folder to your Web server.
View the files on your Web server in Dreamweaver by selecting 'Remote Site' from the top of the site files box on the right. If the instructions for your hit counter script say to change file permissions on any of the script files, right-click the file name and choose 'Set Permissions' from the pop-up menu.
Make the changes to the 'Set Permissions' screen and click 'OK.'
Return to 'Local View' in your site files list and double-check the Web page that will have the hit counter to make sure you have the PHP command correct, then save, upload the file to the server and use your Web browser to view the page and test the hit counter.

How to Import an Existing Site to Dreamweaver FTPIn Feburary 2016 07,
In Feburary 2016 07,
Open Dreamweaver, and then click 'Site' from the main menu. Click on 'New Site' from the site menu to start setting up the new site.
Enter the name for the site that will appear in the Dreamweaver site manager on the 'Site' tab. You can use the website's domain name as the site name to help identify the site. Click on the folder icon next to the 'Local Site Folder' box, and create a directory on your computer's hard disk to store the site files. This directory mirrors the site directory on the remote server.
Click on 'Servers' from the menu on the left of the window to view the 'Servers' tab, and then click on the '+' button at the bottom of the box.
Type in a server name to identify the server. Select how Dreamweaver should connect to the server from the 'Connect Using' drop-down menu, such as through FTP or SFTP. Leave this set to 'FTP' if you are unsure of the connection method. Type in the FTP address of the server, as a domain name or IP address, and enter the FTP user name and password in the relevant boxes.
Type in the directory that corresponds to the root directory of the website in the 'Root Directory' box. For example, if you have to change to a directory named 'public_html' to upload files to the website, enter '/public_html/' in the box. If you are automatically located in the root directory of the website when you log in through FTP, leave the box blank. Type in the root URL of the website in the 'Web URL' box, such as 'http://www.domain.com/.'
Click the 'Test' button to test the FTP connection. You should see a notification appear that the connection has been successful. If the connection fails, double-check all the settings with your Web host to ensure they are correct. Click the 'Save' button to save the settings and close the server window. Click the 'Save' button again on the main window to save the site and close.
Select the new site from the site drop-down menu on the Files panel. Press 'F8' to display the panel if it is not already visible. Select 'Remote Server' from the drop-down menu at the top right of the Files panel, and then click the 'Connect' button to connect to the server. You see all the files held on the FTP server for the site displayed in the 'Remote Server' box.
Click on the file or directory at the top of the remote files list to select it, and then hold down the 'Shift' key while clicking the last file or directory to select all files. Right-click on the highlighted files and click 'Get' to download the files to your computer. You can now edit the files in Dreamweaver and upload changed files to the remote server using the 'Put' command.

How to Insert an MPEG Video Into DreamWeaverIn Feburary 2016 04,
In Feburary 2016 04,
Upload the video to your Web page's server. Do this with whatever FTP program you usually use to upload images, objects and HTML files. You can also use Dreamweaver for this. Select the video that you want to upload In the 'Files' palette and click the blue 'Up' button.
Click the 'Code' button at the top of the Dreamweaver interface. This will put you into Code View, allowing you to view and edit the actual HTML code for your Web page.
Find the place in the code where you want to embed the video. This can be tricky if you've never worked with HTML, but you'll have plenty of chances to experiment. Look for text that tips you off to where you are in the page or look for images (represented in HTML by tags, where 'xxx' is the image filename) that do the same.
Insert the following code:
where 'movie.mpeg' is the filename (and path, if it's not the same as the HTML file) of your movie, and the two values under 'width' and 'height' are whatever you want to use. (If you leave these attributes out, the movie will appear in its actual size.) Control the attributes of the embedded movie by adding any number of arguments, separated by spaces, just like the 'width' and 'height' arguments. Here's a partial list:autostart='true' to make the video begin playing automaticallyloop='true' to make the video continue playing forever unless stopped by the userstarttime='00:00' to make the video begin at a particular location (minutes:seconds)align='left'/'right'/'top'/'bottom' to place the video relative to the text around it
Click the 'Design' button to return to the standard Dreamweaver view, then test your video.
