Several years ago, I created web site using Adobe GoLive 6, which has been discontinued and I have no working backup of the program at this time. I would like to relaunch this site temporarily as is, which has been fully developed.
The problem I have is this: The Adobe GoLive 6 project file was created using the original domain, let's call it www.bigbadstsuff.com. However, the original domain I used is no longer available. I currently have a similar domain, let's call it www.newbigbadstuff.com.
I cannot open or transfer the GoLive version of the site into any web design program that I know of. The only thing I would like and need to do is change the project file's name of GoLive created version of www.bigbadstuff.com to www.newbigbadstuff.com so that when it is uploaded to my server, it will be recognized.
I am not well-versed in this, but what would I change? Would I use a text editor to edit a GoLive XML file, the GoLive website data file, or something else?
I hope this was clear. (Plus, before someone criticizes me for using an old GoLive version of the site (which again will be temporary) or something, a new version of the site is being built up to current standards, but for now, I simply need to get this version back online. Thanks).

First of all, I'm sorry if this is pretty stupid question for you, I was searching the web for the answer, but unfortunately couldn't find complex one.
Recently I discovered not so new, but still cool stuff like SCSS, Pug, LiveReload, Gulp and all that automation stuff. I was really blown away, cause I've been like in a cave for past 2-3 years. So, the development for me is pretty easy and fast now, but I've got problem with production of this.
So, for example, I have to develop WordPress site. One year ago, I'd just run local server, install WordPress there, then I create a new template and customize it for customer needs. After that, I'd upload all of that on web-server (for FTP stuff I use Filezilla, if there's better tools - point me, please) and than, if needed, I'd open desired files from "Edit" menu in Filezilla, customize them, save - and that it's done, I can see the result in browser. I don't need local copy of the web-site on my computer (since some web-sites nowadays are pretty 'heavy').
Now, I don't know what to do with that automation stuff, cause it's all running with console and has to be compiled. So, in order to develop complex CMS-driven web-sites using automation tools, I need to always have latest copy on my local machine, and that send it again on web-server? What if customer, for example, decides to change the article or something on the web-site, when I sync my local copy with web-server, it'll be lost.
So, my main question, is there a way for me to create WordPress website using Gulp & Co and then easily update it later, via FTP client?
We currently have an intranet host on a server (just Html and js project).
contributors do not have a local copy of the project, and modify the code on a regular basis using Expression web. However, a lot of Expression web's features, like link maintenance, do not work if the project is not on a local cache.
Do you know any good web IDE capable of maintaining a web project directly on a server ?
Thanks
This IDE may work for you it is biased in the cloud.

Question
Is anyone aware of projects that already generate a PSD file from within AS3?
Background (everything below here you may not care about if you just want to answer a question, but if interested I could use a hand)
I've found an AS3 PSD parser here.
For some basic tests this has worked fine (after some tweaking to avoid errors). However, now the task is to reverse this process to write a PSD file.
Current plan (and overall goal)
I also found a file format specification document.
My plan at this point is to just start from the top and work my way through the document building each of the parts of the file (and helper value objects) as I go along. Since this will be a very time consuming process, I'm wondering if there's any other previous work I could build off of.
Ultimately my goal is to integrate this code into a mobile drawing project I've been working on for some time. Since it's a mobile project I have to deal with the possibility that the OS kills my app to reclaim memory, in that case I need to be able to save/load the existing state of the app (currently has layers of BitmapData similar to photoshop, plus would be cool to be able to open PSD files and open my files from the device in photoshop with layers preserved).
Links to live version and code
The app can be downloaded here (is free will remain free, no ads, app is funded by love and the desire to create something cool everyone can have/use):
Google Play
Amazon App Store
Still working on an iOS release (process is more involved than the other two stores)
The code can be found here on github (Flash Builder project files in the FlashBuilderProject/FingerPainting folder).
Legal
Essentially the code contained in that repository is all MIT or Apache Licensed (will be going back to double each of the authors sites to get the original licenses to copy in now, just in case). I'm not a lawyer, but I believe I legitimately obtained everything in the project currently and am simply obligated to include the licenses and make my extensions of the source code available in some cases. (fonts came from google web fonts and downloaded Roboto from Google directly http://developer.android.com/design/style/typography.html). Any code in the com.shaunhusain package I wrote and you can assume is GPL for now. If anyone more legally savvy wants to tell me I'm breaking the law, and how, I would appreciate it.
The portions included and used from other sites include
Actuate MIT License
PNGEncoder2 License included in source from Adobe permits usage.
ShareANE I don't have a license for this one (he didn't include one) the author is chinese, as such I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to contact him, but am assuming I'm safe to use his code.
A couple of pieces of code are in the repository but currently not used including a GIF parser/encoder from bytearray.org and a ColorMatrix class from Grant Skinner.
Update
After trying this for a while I ended up deciding to just use the ORA format since it is open and far far simpler and works fine with GIMP and Krita (open source editors).
I'm not sure about the intended use, but if you are compiling the file in Flash, you might be able to use JSFL to export the fla to a PSD. Then tie the JSFL functionality to a button in a SWF that you load as a panel in the IDE. JSFL is pretty powerful, however it only works within the IDE/locally.
I'm trying to make a multiplatform offline webapp using PhoneGap. I know my html and css, but I'm not altogether familiar with the full capabilities of JavaScript, and I've never made a webapp before, let alone tried to use phonegap to empower it.
Right now, I have the main index.html that phonegap sets up for you, but now I'm uncertain as to how to proceed. If I want a button to take the user to another page from the main page, should I make a second html file and literally link between them, or is this a lot more complex than that?
Also (get ready for a possibly epically stupid question from a total beginner):
Do web apps have to be online? I'm really not clear on whether they function like normal websites in which they need to be hosted on a server, or if they can be packaged up and downloaded just like normal native apps. Please help!
Thanks.
Oh, and btw, I'm working in Xcode with the phonegap addon thing....I'm trying to get it running on the iphone before I move on to android.
Although the other answer helped me at the time, I thought I would add a more complete answer now, five years later, to my own first StackOverflow question.
To start with, a "web app" is the same as a "website" in a technical sense, and yes, they have to be hosted on a server in order to be accessed through the browser...just like every website. The only distinction is that a web app is generally a more dynamic and complex sort of website, involving JavaScript and AJAX. It would be misleading to call a simple website like this one a "web app," whereas Facebook is definitely a web app. Basically all web apps are websites, but not all websites are quite exactly web apps.
However, it only has to be "online" if you want it to be accessible anywhere from a browser via http. If you're making a Cordova app like I was at the time, that's not relevant. If you only want to run an application locally, you can do so with a local server like Python's SimpleHTTPServer or the one webpack provides, or any other alternative, including a server you write yourself from scratch.
As for the primary question about having multiple pages, yes anchor elements like my link are the standard way of connecting pages. To link among your own pages, you would have multiple .html files, and you would create a link with an href like href="myOtherPage.html", where that file is contained in the same directory as the file for the page linking to it. Alternatively you could set up a single-page-app where JavaScript loads new page content without the use of anchor elements-- in that case multiple .html files are not needed. Frameworks like Angular and React are helpful for accomplishing that, but it's by no means necessary.
In a typical web app, most of the time you would just need to create a link as you would if you were creating a link on a website. Also, Web apps can be developed via a local environment (research Mamp/ or Wamp) depending on the dependencies in which your app require.
I am working on a project and it needs to accomplish the following:
A user logs into a joomla
Makes a change to some of their profile
This new information updates in the
database
Up to this point joomla will do everything, so the question is how do I take the information from the database and call it into a phonegap app. I am using phonegap and jqtouch for the app, and joomla with jomsocial for the update side.
I cannot have the app open into just a mobile version of the website because apple will reject it from the store. I need this solution to work for people to make updates to their profile, and these updates will automatically post to their app. All users input data on the same site, and share a database. Each profile however will have a different app that is released to the markets, so right now I am focusing on a template framework that can easily be changed to the users portion of the database.
From my understanding the php files stay on the server to process information. The big question is how do i call this information into a phonegap app?
To display XML as HTML you need to parse it through an XSLT stylesheet. This transforms your XML nodes into HTML. Of course, you could just use a PHP XML parser. I think there's one bundled with Joomla, but there are lots out there.
I was going to suggest using a Joomla plugin to push the data over to the Phonegap app. There are lots of events that are fired when an account is created and you could manipulate that.
If the XML is local, Jeepstone is correct. If it is not, how are you going to get it? To do this without running into cross domain issues, I suggest you try out this jQuery plugin on the phonegap side of things ... http://code.google.com/p/jquery-jsonp/ . So to take advantage of that nifty tool, you will adjust the public functions in this script to echo back json_encoded array. With which you can then do as you want on the phonegap side of things.
Ya Apple wants your app to not be useless without internet. But it is straightforward to create your index.html to show the user something. Use the failure and success functions in the jsonp library to show connection problems if necessary.
