The color picker in the options window of some Behaviors does not work properly.
If you bought a Behavior that has a color picker box, you can get an updated _DW.htm file by sending in your request to info3@actionscafe.com.
GoLive Actions will no longer be updated.
Improvements, fixes or compatibility with new browser versions will no longer be made to existing GoLive Actions because of the crashed market. GoLive Actions wil still be sold, and can be updated for clients for the custom software fee.
GoLive Actions do NOT work with Dreamweaver. DW uses their own plug-ins called Behaviors.
If you ordered GoLive Actions by mistake, you can avoid the no-return policy by cancelling your order before the software is shipped. Email your PayPal order confirmation to walt3@actionscafe.com with the words "Cancel this order" in the Subject. Better hurry, once it's shipped it's yours.
Check out the Dreamweaver Behaviors page to see what's available.
misleading info at Adobe Xchange
All the actionscafé software listed at Adobe Exchange was mistakenly changed by Adobe from commercial to freeware during the Exchange facelift.
This software is commercial. The prices cover the time and effort needed to keep these Actions up to date and working properly, and are very reasonable considering the small market. You'll appreciate the updating if you run a business website. Customers also get fast and free support when they need it. Not a bad deal eh?
If you purchased an Action within one year of a newer versions release date you are entitled to a free upgrade. Send in your request to info1@actionscafe.com. Please include a copy of your PayPal or Kagi purchase receipt to ensure faster service.
Check this page or the shopping cart pages for newer versions of your software.
CS2 compatibility problem with demos
GoLive CS2 will not display attached Actions in some of the demo files that are included with actioncafé software.
If you have this problem, select the link that the Action is attached to, then select Type > Clear styles... from the GoLive menu.
Action problem with GoLive 9 Components
Rebuilding and flattening the CSScriptLib.js file from the Site > Settings ignored the Actions I used in a Component. This problem might also extend to Templates and Stationary.
If you use Actions in Components, check the CSScriptLib.js file after flattening to see if the script has been included.
CyberGallery 3.1 - released October 24, 2008
Update
A problem with IE Windows browsers has been fixed.
Added a border size property for the image layer, to be used in the calculation of the top left position when centering the layer in the browser window.
Eliminated the need to fill in the options for Pause and Stop slide show controls.
The second click on "Pause" now restarts the slide show immediately instead of being delayed by the slide "advance" amount.
The background opacity feature now stays on (if selected) during a slide show. It only turns off when the "Stop" control is clicked. This eliminates the annoying on...off during manual advance and back.
Formatter 1.4 GoLive, 2.0 Dreamweaver - released September 29, 2008
New features
This great time saving Action can now perform simple arithmetic using the values in numeric Form fields. The final result can be formatted for display purposes.
Formatter can submit your Form to an Email address or to a URL as a delimited data record, or it can be used in tandem with a Form checker like VerifyForm to perform arithmetic.
The Dreamweaver version comes with the EasyCheck form validator that can be used to validate user entries before Formatter sends the form.
Transparency_DW 1.1
New option.
This version has an option to set the opacity of a page as well as AP Divs and images.
VerifyForm_DW 4.2 - released May 6, 2008
Update
This premier Form checker is now easier to set up.
This version will highlight the text of input objects that are contained within <label> </label> tags with the error color, making it easier for users to spot their errors.
AutoScroll 3.0.2 - released June 26, 2008
Update
This version fixes a problem with the manual scrolling.
When the bottom of the content layer was reached during manual scrolling the scrolling would stop. When the cursor was moved out of then back over the scrolling link, the content layer would continue scrolling in the same direction.
This problem has been fixed. In this version the content layer will not scroll once it has reached the end.
ShrinkWrapper 2.0 - released April 2, 2008
Update
This popular Action runs much smoother now.
This version has been re-engineered for smoother operation when it creates a new window. The difference is quite noticable.
The percent opacity of the watermark image can be set in the Action's options window. Watermark opacity can now be tailored to suit each image.
You can also set the opacity of the main browser window when a thumbnail is clicked so your display images pop right off the screen. The opacity returns to normal when the main browser window is clicked.
Also see CyberGallery for another image display solution.

BusinessCard 1.3 - released March 27, 2008
Update
Adjustments were made so business cards print closer to the standard
3 1/2" X 2" in all the newer browsers.
A "Print this card" link has been added to the cards.
DisableFormObjects 1.1.2 - released March 14, 2008
Bug fix
This version fixes a bug with single-selection and multi-selection lists.
If you used a DFO Action for each item in a pop-up list, the browser would run every DFO in the list, no matter which item was selected, and only the last Action would take affect. This has been fixed.
Selecting one or more items in a multi-selection list now triggers DFO to alter the states of the Form objects entered in DFO, and deselecting all the items returns the objects to their original states.
Submit buttons can now be enabled or disabled as well.
CopyrightGuard 2.2 - released March 9, 2008
New features for this popular Action
This Action (fomerly CopyrightGuard) has been simplified and is much easier to set up. All the necessary GoLive layers are now automatically generated by CG.
There's a background opacity option that dims the page contents so your display images jump right off the page. Images can be centered or positioned at Left Top coordinates.
Captions for the display images can now be taken from the thumbnail's Alt text as well as from the CGCaptions.js file
Select the color and style for the image border and caption text right from the Action's option window. No need to use GoLive's CSS editor.
Adding links to your display images no longer needs the special CopyrightGuardLnks Action. It's all handled in CG.
CyberGallery is still the number one choice of many graphics professionals who want to display and protect their proprietary work.
It really makes your stuff look good.

CopyrightYear 2.0 - released January 22, 2008
Bug fix
This version fixes a problem with Netscape class browsers like Firefox.
Replacing the placeholder text inside a Layer or Layout text box with the new Copyright or Date string would cause a Javascript error in these browsers. This is now fixed.
There was also a problem displaying the present Date. Browsers format Dates in various ways. Some include the time, others abbreviate the month, and some leave out the comma between the day and year.
CopyrightYear now strips out the time but leaves the rest of the date format as is.
CopyrightYear 1.0
New Action.
The CopyrightYear Action is used to automatically update the year in your copyright notice. It can also be used to display the current local date.
If you have many copyright notices throughout your site, CopyrightYear can be a great time saver and help you prevent overlooked copyright text updating.
Contact info@actionscafe.com for more details.
PopulateSelectList 1.0
New Action.
A professional tool for building cascading, popup Selection Lists inside Forms.
PopulateSelectList can populate up to 3 popup selection lists within a Form. Making a selection in the first popup, populates the second with related contents. You can set both the Text and Value fields of the selections. You can also set the Default selection.
This is the same type of function used in search engines and other category selection menus.
Use a companion Action like Formatter or VerifyForm to get around the problem of sending Form data to an E-mail address.
