Hello
I´m now new in Dreamweaver 2020 and I try to find my way in. Before that I worked with older versions.
I´m looking for the "Master Detail page" tool from older DW but can not find it.
Do I have to download a tool or has this function been deleted without replacement?
Thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Mirko

Were you working with dynamic server behaviours in the older version of Dreamweaver to create Master/Details pages?
If so those server behaviours are now out-dated in older versions of the product and have therefore been removed in current versions of the product. There are (or was) new server behaviours in the pipeline for Dreamweaver and I believe some are included in the beta version of Dreamweaver (although I could be mistaken in saying that). New server behaviours were promised some time back BUT since then the Dreamweaver techs have been concentrating in getting the product compatible with the new OSs and they seem to have been forgotten.

Many thanks for your response. I found this tool very useful - from the Macromedia days. Now I'm thinking of going back to CS6

My advice us not to use the server behaviours in CS6. The PHP version is vastly outdated and could pose a security risk.
Much better would be to add this extension to your current version of Dreamweaver: http://www.webassist.com/product/mysqli
Alternatively, use another IDE. I use: https://wappler.io/

You might also want to consider a CMS to build out what you are asking and utilizing its template system and just making a master/detail template for your page types. This would likely be another recommended path to take.

Please tell us a bit more about your project. What are you planning to build? How will it be used? What are your coding skills? We can make better suggestions that way.

Good Morning
Thanks a lot for all the answers. I have to convert several pages to PHP7. I'll take a look at the links and then I'll think about it. But thank you for your help.
Best regards,
