CakePHP and Dreamweaver

If you are using cakePHP you will find files .thtml and .ctp and to open files with extension .thtml and .ctp in Adobe Dreamweaver you need to follow these steps:

1. Open MMDocumentTypes.xml file inside folder (C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\DocumentTypes)

2. In line 67 which has id, PHP_MySQL add thtml/ctp extension on, winfileextension=”php,php3,php4,thtml,ctp” macfileextension=”php,php3,php4,thtml,ctp”

3. Open file Extensions.txt inside folder (C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration)

4. Add THTML,CTP at the first line seperated by comma at the very end so the command will look like ,THTML,CTP:All Documents

5. Similarly add these two extensions to the “:PHP Files” line. so the command will look like, PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,TPL,THTML,CTP:PHP Files

6. Open file Extensions.txt inside folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration)

7. Add THTML,CTP at the first line seperated by comma at the very end so the command will look like ,THTML,CTP:All Documents

8. Similarly add these two extensions to the “:PHP Files” line. so the command will look like, PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,TPL,THTML,CTP:PHP Files

9. Finally, restart your dreamweaver and you should be able to run the files.
