Code Coloring

My network administrator informed me that he would like to
use all .htm file extensions on our site, and that he will program
the server to render PHP tags within the .htm files for our
web-apps.
However, for development work I would still like to apply the
PHP code-coloring within files that have .htm extension. Can I tell
Dreamweaver to do this?
Thanks!

What was old is new again!
Similar to the original poster, my IT area has set up the web server to process all .HTM files as if they were .ASP. Subsequently, I cannot view my HTM files as they would appear if they were "true" ASP files in Dreamweaver CS5. I applied the changes described in TechNote 16410 to MMDocumentTypes.xml (removing the HTM extension from the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the HTML InternalType and adding the HTM extension to the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the ASP-VBScript InternalType). I moved HTM in Extensions.txt from the HTML Documents line to Active Server Pages line and I removed the backup I had made of MMDocumentTypes.xml from the Adobe directory.
Based on another posting in this forum regarding code coloring, I added <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%> to the first line of my HTM (ASP) file.
No matter which file with the HTM extension I open in Dreamweaver, I get this message:
I also need to terminate Dreamweaver using Windows XP's Task Manager. File > Close, the application close button, Ctrl+Q and Alt+F4 do not work.

Adding code-coloring to file with nonstandard extension

I have PHP files that end in .ctp, which are basically HTML templates with PHP mixed in (as part of the Cake PHP framework). I'd like them to be parsed for code coloring the same way that the PHP files are, but the text is all black. Is there a way that I can tell Dreamweaver to parse it for PHP code coloring? I have already added ".ctp" to the list of file types that open in Code View using DW's Preferences.
This is CS4.
Thanks!

Nevermind - I figured it out from here, you just have to edit an XML file to include the new extension that should be treated as PHP:

Use PHP code coloring in HTML files

In Dreamweaver CS3, what changes do I need to make to get PHP
code coloring show up in .html files?

robot88888888,
First, copy this file from the app config folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3\configuration\CodeColoring\PHP.xml
To the user config folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\CodeColoring\
Then open PHP.xml in your favorite editor. You need to add
HTML to all
of the doctype lists Change every occurrence of this:
doctypes="PHP_MySQL"
to be:
doctypes="PHP_MySQL,HTML"
Save and close. If DW is running, close it. Now restart DW.

Code Coloring and Code Hints

I no longer have code coloring or code hints working on
Dreamweaver. I checked the preferences and everything is still set
the same but whenever I open an existing document it will not give
me the code coloring or code hints. I still get it when I open a
new doc but nothing else. Any ideas on how to fix this?

It sounds like DW does not recognize the file type of your
page. What is
the file extension?

Code coloring error in HTML5 templates

Is it just me?
In both HTML5 templates (two or three column), that one can select after select 'New' from the 'File' menu the code is all grayed out after the browser conditional:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

Code coloring is fine up to my indicator ##HERE## above, after that all grayed out till next end HTML commnet '-->'.
I can fix it, lamely, with the comment you see above, ""
If the line <script ...>...</script> is removed from in between the conditional tags everything is fine.
Thanks for any help.

Just put a blank html comment  after<! [endif] ->, the problem will disappear, the color will appear
example:

</ head>

Dreamweaver CS6 and Coldfusion 9 - Syntax Errors & Code Coloring

I recently purchased Dreamweaver CS6.
Also, I'm running Coldfusion 9 on Windows 7, but that's probably irrelevant.
The issue is that Dreamweaver keeps on marking my files with syntax errors, and the code coloring gets all messed up.
For instance, such function would indicate an error due to the #var#:
<cfoutput><script>functionXYZ(#var#);<script><cfoutput>
But this would work just fine:
<script>functionXYZ(<cfoutput>#var#<cfoutput>);<script>
The issue is that I have entire pages wrapped in cfoutput, redoing everything would take months.
Or this would break the code coloring for the entire select as such:
<select <cfif test eq 'test'>class="test"</cfif> name="selectbox">
While this breaks the code coloring for the closing cfif as such:
<select class="<cfif test eq 'test'>test</cfif>" name="selectbox">
I'm getting syntax errors on thousands of my files, I understand that I could rewrite the code slightly to remove some of the error indications, but these are not actual errors so I feel that there is no point of me spending months updating the code.
Is there a patch that I can apply so that this would work without any of these issues?
Can someone please help?

Have you posted this question in the Cold Fusion Forums?

I don't use CF myself and the few CF coders I know have long since moved to Eclipse/ColdFusion Builder.

Make DW use JS code-coloring instead of PHP

I have a Javascript file that has a .php extension because of
some dynamic elements on the page. I also can't wrap the code in
<script> tags because of the way it loads. So basically, I
need to tell DW to use JS code coloring on this page instead of PHP
(right now, everything except the PHP is black text). Any way to
force it to associate the file with a specific file type, instead
of basing it on the file extension?

You can "fake" the script tags and fool the code coloring
scheme by adding to the top of the file:
// <script>
and to the bottom of the file:
// </script>
As the // are single line comments in JavaScript when the
file is loaded by the browser it won't see the script tags, but the
code coloring engine seems to be tricked and begins working on the
JavaScript code that is not within the <?php ?> code blocks.

Code Coloring does not stick

The changes I make in the Preferences section under Code Coloring do not always stick. I even tried replacing the Colors.xml file with someone else's theme. That does not come through. I replaced it both under my Configuration/Code Coloring folder which appears under Applications as well as my User folder.
I don't understand why some of the changes take and others not. Should there not be an easier way to do this??
Any clues as to how I can make the new (external) Colors.xml stick would be appreciated.

CS5. And I should say, the instructions given on the Adobe site on how to swap out the colors.xml file indicate a folder that doesn't exist. There is no Preferences folder. It's Configurations.

Code Coloring, ASP/VBScript, & CS5

As far as I know (could be wrong here), DW does not allow you to alter the behavior of htm(l) files. The technote is aimed at adding new file types that DW doesn't already recognize.

Code Coloring Bug: Ranges in DateFields

Adding ranges to DateFields in an mxml file will cause the
code coloring to stop working. Is this a known bug?
Try a field like this:
<mx:DateField id="dtNeeded" disabledRanges="{[{rangeEnd:
new Date()}]}"
selectedDate="{detailObject.dtNeeded}" editable="true"
/>

That "complaint thing" is the bug reporting tool, there is no
bug
tracking system, its the only way your going to be able to
communicate
with Adobe about the bug. There is no list of bugs, and you
will never
know for sure if/when it will be fixed. If your lucky you may
get a reply.

Code Coloring - adding extensions

Does anyone know how to make .inc files (or any extension)
use the .php code coloring scheme (or any scheme) in Dreamweaver 9
(CS3)? The tech note I found among these messages applies to
Dreamweaver MX, but not all configuration files mentioned in the
tech article are found in the DW9/CS3 configuration.

theopan,
OK, I think I understand the problem now. The
MMDocumentTypes.xml file
is no longer automatically copied from the Application
Configuration
folder to the User Configuration folder, so you need to
manually copy it.
Hope this helps,
Randy

ColdFusion Builder 3 Code Coloring Bug

Hello CFBuilders,
I encountered what I believe is a bug within CFBuilder 3 (standalone and Eclipse plugin) where code coloring breaks after you insert a comment in a function with named arguments. To replicate the issue copy/paste the following code in CF Builder:

<cfset myFunction(
      argument1 = "strawberries",
      argument2 = "bananas", 
      argument3 = "blueberries",
      argument4 = "pineapples"
) />
<cfset test = "test" />
You should see argument3,argument4, and the closing bracket are colored incorrectly. If you encounter the same issue and you'd like to see this fixed please feel free to vote for this bug here:
Bug#3831825 - Code Coloring Breaks When Comments Used Within Function with Named Arguments
It should be noted that Dreamweaver can handle this type of code coloring situation fine.

They say they fixed this, but the release has been sitting in beta testing for AGES. They said this was fixed last month but they sure are taking their sweet time releasing anything through the update site.
IT's an update site - FOR UPDATES; Ugh

Document type in Code Coloring preference

Edit, preference in Dreamweaver MX 2004, under code coloring
category, I can't see the various document type in Machine A but I
can see ASP JavaScript, PHP, Cold Fusion etc in Machine B, do
anybody know why????Configuration problem???
How do I get it back????Pls help

It sounds like you may have some missing or corrupted
Configuration
files in the CodeColoring and DocumentType sub-folders.
Start by disabling any extensions that you have installed.
After that,
the easiest solution is probably to uninstall/reinstall.

Code coloring gone

The code coloring is suddenly gone in the code view. I
haven't changed anything in the preferences, and when
I check it everything is set up as it always has been. Not
really that big of a deal, but after years of seeing
it in different colors it's strange just to be black.
Restarted Dreamweaver, re-booted etc. Hate to re-install
Dreamweaver and set up all of my web sites again. If anyone
has a quick easy solution I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Is this true for all file extensions in all sites? Which DW
are you using
and which OS?

Code Coloring - black background

Has somebody Dreamweaver 8 configured to use black background
in Code Editor? If so, please distribute the ColorCodings XML files
somewhere.
Thank you very much
cs

If you are comfortable manually editing Registry/Preferences
and raw
XML, then try this:
1. Shutdown DW
2. Edit Configuration/CodeColors/Colors.xml and do a global
change of
"#000000" (black) to "#FFFFFF" (white).
Note: be sure to edit Colors.xml in your User (not
Application)
Configuration folder. This TechNote explains the difference:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16420
3. (On Windows) Using regedit, go to:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Tag
Colors
Change all "#000000" (black) values to "#FFFFFF" (white)
Change "Background Color" to "#000000"
Close regedit
4. Restart DW.
You may need to tweak a few settings in Code Coloring editor,
but that
should get you most of the way there.
Hope this helps,
Randy
