Dreamweaver CC Coldfusion 10 extension?

Hi

I'm on the road trying to configure Dreamweaver CC for a CF10 project on my laptop.

Back in my office on my server i have DWCC configured using the CF10 extensions and I remember that I used an extensions file with the '.zxp' suffix; for the life of me I can't find that file on the web anywhere. (The .mxp extension simply won't run in the CC extension manager).

Anyone know where it is?

Thanks in advance, and happy holidays.

Rich

They're pushing us to use the Coldfusion Builder product

Not a fan of CF builder. It has hints of usefulness, but it lacks many or most of the features of dreamweaver when projects include CF and HTML and JS. The old pre-CC version of dreamweaver was a much better application for CF developers than their new split product lines combined. While I have CF builder, dreamweaver CS5 and dreamweaver CC all installed on my box for various projects, I tend to only use CF builder for mobile development, rarely use CC for anything and CS5 is my go to for most everything.

    Does anyone know why the dynamically related CFM files are not appearing in dreamweaver CC? Tried fiddling with all the options and nothing. My includes are no longer linked to the doc I'm working on.

    Anyone have a solution?

    Because CC is a POS when used with CF. Only solution so far is to install a pre-CC version of Dreamweaver or use another editor.

    In Dreamweaver CC:

    1. Go to preferences

    2. In the "choose external applications" section, hit the "+" and enter ".cfm".

    3.  In the editor window, select your Dreamweaver app and make it the primary editor.

    start coding, code completion works... go figure (aka Adobe are liars)

      Has anyone figured out a way to get the hover over tag + right-click->edit to be an option?

      CF is disabled by default in DW CC, here is how you enable the cf extensions

      Thanks Russ, but that only relates DWCC to be able to open .cfm files. What I actually need is the ColdFusion 10 tag extensions so that when I work with .cfm files the tag/auto complete functionality for CF10 is there.

      On my server in my office I remembered a ".zxp" extension file for DWCC, but I can't find it now that I'm on the road with my laptop....

      Thanks again for your response.

        I found the solution. Took me a while but got it done. I am running Windows 7 64bit, so do not know if solution will work for your system or not.

      So Here are the steps you have to take to get  Coldfusion 10 Dreamweaver Extension for Dreamweaver CC to install.

      1. On another workstation Download Coldfusion 10 Dreamweaver 10 Extension from here. http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
      2. On that same workstation Download the Adobe CS6 Extension Manager. http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/em6_download.html
      3. In Adobe CS6 Extention Manager go to "TOOLS" then drop down to "Convert MXP Extension to ZXP. Once converted copy ColdFusion10_Tags_for_DW.zxp to workstation where Dreamweaver CC and Adobe Extension Manager CC is installed.
      4. Before installing, go to C:\Users\<your userprofile>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\en_US\Configuration\Menus\Menus.xml  (Remember AppData is hidden by default) (open xml in text editor)
      5. Once Text editor is open do a find for "DWMenu_Help_Reference"
        You will find the following string.

        <!-- menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_Help_Reference" key="Shift+F1" command="dw.updateReference()" enabled="true" checked="dw.getFloaterVisibility('reference')" domRequired="FALSE" id="DWMenu_Help_Reference" / -->

        Erase the !-- on the front of the string and the -- on the end of the string. Leave the < > on the ends. (This means the element was commented out, so would not work)


        It sould look like this:

        <menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_Help_Reference" key="Shift+F1" command="dw.updateReference()" enabled="true" checked="dw.getFloaterVisibility('reference')" domRequired="FALSE" id="DWMenu_Help_Reference" />

      6. Save the file.

      7. Now install the ColdFusion10_Tags_for_DW.zxp file. It will install with no errors.


      Hope this helps.

      Guys. I am going to redo this Extension as a .zxp for Adobe Dreamweaver CC. I have got the code from the original .mxp file. I will contact the author to see if I can use it.

       

      To begin with I will just get it up on line and then over the next few months, I will update the libraries for TAGS & FUNCTIONS, so that it incorporates the latest API for CF2018.

       

      I have had enough of this nonsense!
