Extensions For Dreamweaver 8 and CFMX 7

Report · Sep 04, 2006

Just upgraded from ColdFusion 5 to ColdFusion MX 7. Have been using Studio 8 with of course, Dreamweaver 8, for the last 7 months.

The CF7 MX upgrade package comes with an 18 meg .MXP file, entitled: CF7 Extensions For Dreamweaver MX. Should I install this in my Dreamweaver 8 Extensions? Or does DW 8 already come with most, or ALL of these? In other words, are they only designed for DW MX? Is there anything at all to be gained by installing these extensions, or perhaps something to get "messed up", like an existing extension being overwritten by an older one in the 18 meg upgrade file?

Also, most of the extensions seem to be for that Enterakt product, which doesn't support SQL Server or Oracle, right? Which is what I use.

Or should I just ignore this 18 meg file? Or just go ahead and install it? Appreciate any help/advice. Thank you.

The CF7 extensions were designed to add extra capabilities to DWMX. They
were built into DW8.
