CF9 Dreamweaver extensions

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues installing the CF9 extensions for dreamweaver?

The installer runs fine but when I go into Dreamweaver CS4 it doesn't recognise any of the new tags.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the extension but still don't have any of the new CF9 tags in dreamweaver.

Any help would be great.

Kind regards,

Richard

    Hi all,

    I don't know if I'm the only one around to notice a bug in the CF9 taglib with the cfquery tag.  The taglib says that cfquery has no closing tag which is quite annoying, but fortunately quite easy to fix.

    Locate the xml file named 'cfquery.vtm' somewhere in '/Application Data/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/Configuration/TagLibraries/cfml' and replace the line that reads '<tag endtag="NO" name="CFQUERY">' by '<tag endtag="YES" name="CFQUERY">'

    You don't even need to reload DW for this fix to work.

    Strangely enough, I was able to locate & fix the file on windows, but not on mac...

    Hi Richard,

    Few good practices,

    Just close your DW, before installing any extension.

    Go here and download one,

    http://download.macromedia.com/pub/coldfusion/9/dreamweaverupdate/CF9_Tags_for_DW.mxp

    After downloading goto the extentions manager and install the mxp file,

    Then check out if you are able find CF9 tags in DW.

    Hi Daverms,

    Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I did after I downloaded the .mxp but still no joy even after reinstalling it a few times.

    The only thing I've noticed when installing, is that it asks if it should overwrite 3 files CodeHints.xml, CodeColoring.xml and a png (which i forget the name of) anyway I said yes overwrite it and it completes the installation.

    OK latest update.

    I have it working after reluctantly reinstalling creative suite then installing the extension before doing anything else it works.

    Though 1 other thing I have noticed is the lack of cfcontinue both in the tags in dreamweaver and in the cf9 docs I know there's a page about it in the docs but where is the tag in the example. On the other hand CF Builder does have the cfcontinue tag in its library.

    But I guess that's off topic.
