for some reason it does not install at all on my machine

[brynieman]

on my machine itt tries to install it as a flash mx extension? and I have both DW MX and Flash MX?

any clues John?

:-)

[greglindley]

I had to update my Dreamweaver Extensions Manager from 1.5, which came with the default installation of MX, to 1.6. Then everything worked fine. You can find the download here: http://www.macromedia.com/exchange/em_download/

any clues John?

hmmm. did you update the extension manager?

[spignataro]

it works.....amen...it was my extension manager....it works

[brynieman]

oops!..

works fine thanks John

:-)

[guischarf]

Hello All,

It looks like the site where the extension could be donwloaded vanished. Anyone know of an alternate place to get the extension?

Thanks,

[mamboSkins]

no, thats the wrong URL posted above, you need to get it at:

http://www.mambosolutions.com

you have to register first then you can grab it free in the downloads section.

[brynieman]

:lol:

ummm

[spignataro]

is there differance????

[mamboSkins]

is there differance????

yes there is a difference!

If you dont believe me then downlaod and install the extension from that link and make a template with it ! It wont work, the Miro commercial dreamweaver extension outputs different code, not compatible...why do you think I spent 8 hours to make a MOS version of the extension?

You posted a link to Miro site duh! :lol: Now, comon, spignatro, you with a post count higher than my monthly salary :lol: should know that MIRO's commercial version of Mambo CMS is absolutley different and not compatible with Mambo Open Source!

[brynieman]

thats why I laughed John :lol:

ummm

but I had to install it anyway..just to take a sneaky peak

I think we all are a might further along on here...what with all the excellent suggestions from yourself and others on template design and modification ;-)

hehe!

[spignataro]

o...i dont use dreamweaver extension so i wouldnt know the differance......ill check them out later....i just figured other wise dreamweaver extension and knew miro had one....that is what came to my mind in the first place....

what program do you use to make the extensions?

[mamboSkins]

Dreamweaver extension is a collection of html files (one for each of the menu insert items, graphics and an XML config that tells the isntaller where to copy everything, you package it up with the Extension manager.
There are turtorials on the web and a lot of info in the Dreamweaver documentation.

cheers :)

[spignataro]

thank you mamboSkins and sorry for the small confusion of the extensions.....

i have checked them both out and notice the differances.

[neohazard]

this is great, it really speed things up for dreamweaver users...

unfortunatly i use frontpage and then php expert editor to clean up the code...

its just easier for me.... lol :)

[Xirtam]

Neo never took the easiest way 8)

[spignataro]

neo......frontpage is a pain in the arse.....

consider using notepad.....lol

[Websmurf]

well... notepad isn't the most perfect tool around ;)

doesn't have sintax highlighting... :roll:

[mamboSkins]

the best ;) editor around for php IMHO is phpEd, I have the old free version it kicks serious arse, the newer version costs more than Dreamweaver. phpEd has syntax highlighting, and it lets you test locally if you have php installed.

Frontpage...shite, sorry but it just outputs **** code, Word is the worst though

:)

[brynieman]

totally agree..phpEd kicks!!

but I still use Dreamweaver MX..kinda got used to it now

Frontpage..twice as much code for ya money..

:-)

[spignataro]

hey notepad is what i started out using to code php....beleive me...when all else fails...it is there to help....

as for Dreamweaver...i love it...im thinking about getting 2004

as for Frontpage.....you get more BANG for your BUCK....so continue on crashing with Frontpage and its bulk code....no one will mind....lol

[Websmurf]

hey notepad is what i started out using to code php....beleive me...when all else fails...it is there to help....

yeah..that's true

i allways use Zend Studio for editing, a really advanced program, and not event that expensive...

[mamboSkins]

:!: UPDATE: :!:

I just updated my DW extension. :arrow:

changelog:

-removed the depracted 'insert newsflash'
-fixed 'insert sitename'
-added 'insert top'
-added 'insert bottom'
-added ' insert inset'

version 1.0.5 is available in the filebase at www.mambosolutions.com

:idea: Let's hope that no more changes in the way templates are built, already the fact that insert newsflash has been changed will cause errors in all existing 4.5 templates.

Cheers,
john :)

[neohazard]

hey guys, sorry for the delay in responding... lol

i have always used frontpage and i'm tryin to convert to dreamweaver... its a little new, but i'm getting the hang of it...
i have dw mx 2004 as well as fireworks mx 2004 (for my visuals)

it was a little pricey but i think it is well worth it...

fireworks can do anything photoshop can with a more intuitive interface (IMHO)

and you all are right.. neo never took the easy way.... hehe

[spignataro]

why would neo take easy way out....bah ...he rocks....

[mamboSkins]

fireworks can do anything photoshop can with a more intuitive interface (IMHO)

not even close. I own both fireworks and photoshop, have benn using both for years, fireworks ineed is a great app, but it still cant touch Photoshop. Anyways thats way off topic, maybe we need to start a new thread :)

[PhilTaylor (aka PrazGod)]

i could do with a toolbar with some mambo specific development tags in like um...


sefAbsToRel (" ");

$database->setQuery();

etc.....

any chance we can trade ???

Thanks.....

[mamboSkins]

hmm maybe ;)


send me a list the tags you mean and I will ponder it when I have time to ponder.

[radox]

sorry to bug you but... I registered as a user at your site, confirmed my account but I can't see the download section... a...please help... :)

-Radu

[mamboSkins]

yeah, well i am still upgading this nightmare to 1.0.4 beta. I had to rebuild the downloads section.

try now. :)

[absalom]

Why is it every time there is an upgrade, the downloads section of a site goes leftfield ? :?

[mamboSkins]

hehe, good question.

not a funny question, but a good question.

i dont have the answer, only the frustration :?

[absalom]

hehe, good question.

not a funny question, but a good question.

i dont have the answer, only the frustration :?

Likewise.. I've lost my downloads section for the second time this week.. :cry:

[mark.novak]

This fabulous dw extension is cool with 4.5 rc3 i presume?

[absalom]

As far as I can tell. :wink:

Hope you have fun designing as much as I am :lol: 8)

[spignataro]

i think it just needs to be updated slightly
