| message from blizardo on 16 Jul 2004 |
I've just finished creating a site on Windows and getting ready to pass it on
to another developer using a mac. When I've done this in the past, links to
templates and library items got lost or corrupted. The mac developer had to
reconnect all the pages to the templates/library items by hand. It's also
possible that the other developer had a different version of Dreamweaver.
Is there any way to move sites between versions/platforms more automatically?
I'm working with DreamweaverMX 2004 7.01.
TIA - Bill

how are you sending the files?
If sending by CD or Zip disk, suggest you compress the site folder into a
.zip archive first. That will preserve filenames and file relationships.
If the site is uploaded to hosting- it should not be problem, as long as the
site is correctly defined on both machines (the "homepage" in the root level
of the Local Site)
what version of dreamweaver and mac os is the mac person using?
If dw4- the template syntax from MX and 2004 won't work without some
modification.
If mx or older- there will be a filename length issue possibly.

Thanks Mark;
I will definitely be sending it as an archive file (stuff-it since the other
developer is on a Mac). Your response makes it sound like it would be better
for the other developer to define the site ahead of time and do a "Get" of the
whole site from the host?
What is the filename length limitation in Dreamweaver MX (she's using DWMX v6
Mac)? I assume I could rename the files/folders at issue to elminate this
problem.
