I am currently using Dreamweaver CS4 and was looking for this feature today.  I remember I could create a visual hierarchal relationship of my site pages (after 'setting' a home page) and after selecting the 'Expand to show local and remote sites' button.  I have an assignment in school to produce a visual site map but it's kind of hard if someone in their infinite wisdom thinks this feature is not useful.  I have also used it professionally at work in several cases.  So, Adobe, how come you removed this and why do you think it's not useful?  Now, I have to manually 'draw' one in Illustator or go find some other product on the web to automatically create one. Happy Happy Joy Joy

Is there a similar or better tool that I am not aware of on CS4????

Not that I'm aware of -- this functionality was removed from both Dreamweaver and GoLive. A bummer for those who did use it, but apparently there weren't enough who did. If you can create a lobby of those who are interested in having that facility back again:

Sorry, best I can suggest.

The wishform doesnt work in firefox, and neither does this forum, if you try to reply to this forum it crashes firefox just thought I would let you guys know.

I had to compose this message in IE8, most webdevs use firefox and it may seem that you are not getting much interest in this feature but this may be due to people not being able to use the site.

I am not even sure if the wishform even works in IE8 I submitted the form but it timed out on me so I have no idea whether it is successful or not.

The sitemap diagram feature was very handy and this is message I tried to submit to the wishform

*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature:

In macromedia dreamweaver 8 there was a feature that would generate visual sitemaps and save these as bitmaps.

This was a very handy tool for showing clients how websites were structured.

This feature was removed from Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4

How would you like the feature to work?

I would like to see this feature reinstated with one additional piece of functionality, being able to see the full html title of subpages of supbages.

It would also be nice if it could generate an xml sitemap as well as a visual one that was compatible with search engines.

Why is this feature important to you?

It allows me to show clients a visual representation of the websites architecture and the names of the pages within the structure of that architecture.

Visio, Dia and other diagramming tools do not create as clean a website diagram as what Dreamweaver 8 does.

Here is a link to a copy of a sitemap generated by dreamweaver 8 http://www.users.on.net/~nova/dreamweaver-sitemap.jpg

1) You are talking to fellow users here so we can't do anything about Firefox.

2) Firefox is working fine for me and others on the Adobe forums.

Using: Firefox 3.5.2 with Firebug, Web Developer, NoScript (disabled on this site but still installed) and a few other extensions that might change how javascript is handled in a plain Firefox install. The few others that I know use Firefox here are using plain installations. I have heard from some webdevs that Firefox 3.5's handling of javascript is sometimes sluggish (I haven't noticed) but it is still processed. You should not have been prevented from using a submission form or this forum.

That is nifty news about disabled functions in DW. Thanks!

Yeah! How do I see the Site Map now that I ran regedit? I bought Dreamweaver for the express purpose of taking over my very extensive dynamic website. The developers used GoLive and I saw how the Site Map could be used to trace the interconnections between the files. They left a lot of 'garbage' in there too. So, now I have Dreamweaver CS4 and I'm looking for the mapping feature.. It doesn't exist! I just can't believe it! So, I found this thread and followed the regedit instructions, but don't see 'Site Map' on the menus anywhere. The TRUE/FALSE key remained at TRUE after reboot. Now what? Anyone? If you're reading this Adobe--I'm not a happy camper! How could you possibly do this?

Btw, I have a lot of work to do right away and I NEED this feature. Do I throw Dreamweaver in the trash and get something that works?

Any idea how to do this on a Windows PC?

Are you referring to the Mac and Windows instructions offered in post #11 or are you confused about something else in this thread?

It may help to recognize the audience of this particular forum. This forum is for GoLive users transitioning to Dreamweaver. Most people here will not be well-versed in Dreamweaver or the variations between Dreamweaver versions. You would get the best response to your question in the Dreamweaver forum. There is a much larger audience for your question there.

I would think that Adobe might want to hide a feature that has problems and or is simply not ready for mass consumption.  Deadlines cause funny things at big companies.  CS4 like any software package had a last day for changes.  If a feature does not pass by this date, the manager in charge of that software has the option of including, excluding, or hiding the unfinished feature.

Does this sound reasonable?

See the help system for Dreamweaver CS3.

It's available under the Site menu item and also in the Files panel.

heh, Vista?

getta Mac

Anyways here's the long link

In the dreamweaver prefs you can open up it up with text edit and change under feature management sitemap=FALSE to sitemap=TRUE

and then restart DREAMWEAVER and it should work BUT_______ before doing this find SOMEBODY AT ADOBE TO CONFIRM THIS FIX OR TRY IT THEMSELVES some of them do care enough to do this. I am at a college and this is part of my image and I cannot experiment further.

BH

your welcome. I only wish Adobe would make an official fix or response.

Bob

I could not figure the way of doing it, what is the path to "dreamweaver prefs" or how can it be done?  Thank you in advance.

Reading the post and looking back golive just makes me sure of golive always where far much better than dreamweaver.

This works:

1. Go to RUN and type regedit

2. Find HKYE_CURRENT_USER and then find SOFTWARE

3. Find ADOBE folder and then DREAMWEAVER CS4

4. Find FEATURE MANAGEMENT folder and doble-click it

5. You'll see SITEMAP , just right-click and chage the value from FALSE to TRUE and you have the site map feature back in

Dreamwever CS4.

Hope it helps.

You're welcome.I don't understand why Adobe keeps this important feature hide in CS4? But at least we have the solution to this issue.
