Missing PHP/MySQL Server Behaviours

[Guest]

Hello

Novice developer attempting to create a new server behaviour for PHP/MySQL model in Dreamweaver 8.0.2 (updated). When clicking on server behaviours: add new behaviour, the first dialog box appears. When checking copy existing behaviour box, dropdown menu remains empty and inert.

It doesn't contain any of the existing behaviours found in the applications:server behaviours panels? Been rooting around forums, online documentation and cannot find an answer to this.

Have tried this with *.php file open and database connection active and with a recordset to query - still nothing :-(

Existing behaviours seem to function OK when applied through the panel menu.

Using: PHP 5.2.0; MySql 5.0; Mac OS Tiger 10.4.8; Cocoasql 07b5
on Mac G5 1.8

TIA

Correct. You cannot copy the built-in server behaviors. The ability to
copy an existing behavior applies only to ones that you have created
yourself.

Thanks David - I don't think they point this out in the documentation (apologies if I'm wrong). Will be investigating your book forthwith.

No, I don't think they do - although I do mention this limitation in my
book. ;-)

worst, the help file says it can be done. i tried this once and the Copy
option is disabled
==========================================
Redirecting unauthorized users to another page
...
To copy and paste a page's access rights to other pages on the site:

Open the protected page and select the Restrict Access To Page server
behavior listed in the Server Behaviors panel (not the one in the Plus
(+) pop-up menu).
Click the arrow button in the top right corner of the panel and select
Copy from the pop-up menu.
The Restrict Access To Page server behavior is copied to your system's
Clipboard.

Open another page you want to protect in the same way.
In the Server Behaviors panel (Window > Server Behaviors), click the
arrow button in the top right corner and select Paste from the pop-up menu.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each page you want to protect.

You're right about that, but we were discussing the Server Behavior
Builder, which allows you to base a new server behavior on an existing
one, but only if it's one you have created yourself.

What you're referring to is copying a server behavior that has been
applied to a page. You can do it with a recordset, but not with restrict
access to page (even though the help files say you can).
