Problem installing extension in DW MX2004 mac edition

Report · Aug 08, 2007

Hi all,

I run DW MX2004 under OS X 10.4.10 on a Mac. I'm having trouble installing the Rubyweaver 2.0 extension (available from http://rubyweaver.gilluminate.com/) which should add ruby and rails functionality to DW. According to Extension Manager it is installed fine but when I try to use DW I get the following problems:

1. On startup DW throws up a warning message:

quote:

The Document Type "" will not be added because it uses a file extension that is already associated with a prior document type.

This message appears three times, I assume for three different document types.

2. Rails, YML and SQL options are not present in the New Document window options (they should be).

3. Preferences > Code Format > Tag Library Editor displays an option called 'Rails' - even when the checkbox is ticked, HTML colouring is not present in .rhtml files.

I contacted the developer about these issues, he assured me that the extension was developed for and tested on both Windows and OS X platforms, and that nobody else had reported any problems. He suggested it must be a problem specific to my system.

So, here's my question: has any one else experienced problems installing either this or another extension in DW MX2004 on a Mac and does anyone have a solution/work around.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Update: I have tried installing Rubyweaver DW MX2004 running on a Windows XP system. The same problems occur. Anyone else had problems?

Hi,

Yes, I'm having the same difficulty when installing FM Web Studio by FMWebSchool.com. I get the [empty] "Document type could not be added" error 33 times on application launch. I see no templates, no dynamic page creation options.

PS. Edited to note I'm on MacOS 10.4.10, PowerPC, DW MX2004
