Adobe Business Catalyst is a hosted Web site solution that allows you to
build dynamic, data-driven Web sites with some advanced features,
such as search, forums, blogs, password protected areas, web forms,
and online stores (New!). Dreamweaver uses the Business Catalyst
extension to connect you directly to your online business site, where
you can add, edit, delete, upload pages and templates in Dreamweaver,
and use pre-build code modules without programming from the
Business Catalyst panel. You can get the extension by using the
Business Catalyst panel and install it by using the Adobe Extension
Manager.

504 Chapter 21
In Web development, sometimes it can get confusing managing ver-
sions of files. Where is the most recent file? This question is one that
you'll probably ask yourself more than once throughout the develop-
ment of a site. Dreamweaver solves this problem with an option called
File Synchronization. This feature compares files between the local and
remote site and will determine which is the latest version. If the latest
version lives on the local site, it will upload that file accordingly. File
Synchronization can also delete files on either the local or remote site,
if the file doesn't appear in both versions of the site. You can apply the
synchronize command to selected files, or apply it site-wide.

Click the Synchronize button.
TIMESAVER
Click the Site
menu, and then click Synchronize
Sitewide.
Select from the following
synchronize options:
◆ Synchronize. Select between
synchronizing the entire site, or
only selected files.
◆ Direction. Select Put Newer
Files To Remote (default), Get
New Files From The Remote, or
Get And Put Newer Files
(wherever they exist).
◆ Delete Remote Files Not On
Local Drive. Select to allow
Dreamweaver to delete any
files found on the remote
server, but not on the local
drive.

506 Chapter 21
Cloaking files hides the selected files from many of the file transfer
commands, such as: Get, Put, Check In, and Check Out; however, it
doesn’t protect files when using Synchronize. For example, you have a

folder on you local site that contains original uncompressed source
documents, such as Photoshop and Flash. There would be no need for
these files to be uploaded to the remote server, so you cloak them. Any
file format you cloak remains in your local folder and will not be
uploaded unless you manually override the cloak setting. In addition,
cloaked files do not appear in the Assets panel. Cloaked files can be
controlled by extension, such as all FLA files, or they can be controlled
individually, regardless of their extension. You can cloak specific fold-
ers, even multiple ones; however, you cannot cloak all folders or an
entire site.
Cloaking and
Uncloaking Files

point to Cloaking, and then click

tion, point to Cloaking, and then click
