Dreamweaver CS5.5 extension: create ZXP or MXP?
Hi,
I'm new to creating extensions for Dreamweaver. I found a PDF document entitled "Packaging Extensions with
ADOBE® EXTENSION MANAGER CS5" and it seems to indicate that you need to create a ZXP file when creating an extention for CS5 and above. Does this apply to Dreamweaver extensions? Are all of the extension gurus out there creating ZXP files or are they creating MXP files for Dreamweaver CS5 and up extensions? Here is a link to the PDF document: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/extensionmanager/cs/using/packaging_extension.pdf
Thanks,
Laura
Hi Laura
If your extension is only for DW5 or above then create a ZXP file as this will prevent anyone with an older versions of DW installing the extension. But if it will work in previous version then MXP is the file to create, as this can be installed in all versions of DW including DW5 or above.
When submitting your extension to the Adobe Exchange or even if you only offer it as a download from your own site, always indicate the version you are targeting and/or if it will work/has-been-tested in a previous version.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 for creating poster presentation?
Hi,
I am currently downloading a trial version of Dreamweaver CS5.5. It will not be completed for another hour or so, so I can't directly explore the trial software to answer my question. However, I wonder if perhaps I might have done better to download another Adobe trial product. I used Dreamweaver perhaps 8 years ago as a student, I think, to efficiently put together a poster for a conference. This poster was standard size (4 ft. X 3 ft.), and using Dreamweaver (if that was what I used) made it easy to set up the poster, add text, titles, graphs, and photos, and then save to a .pdf format (I think) and print it out at Kinkos. However, I'm beginning to wonder if I should, at present, be using some other package----I see prompts to download, for example, InDesign, Illustrator, and other packages. These may be extensions to Dreamweaver proper?? Has Dreamweaver changed to the point where this relatively simple function (preparation of a poster) is best-handled by another program? Sorry to sound so damn dumb about this, but it's been a long time since I used Dreamweaver and I'm already a little lost!
Thanks, JohnH23Dreamweaver is not a tool for print mediums. You should be using InDesign. If you have done a lot of large scale projects you may want to consider something like the Design Premium Suite. That gives you InDesign for the page layout, Illustrator for the vector graphics and Photoshop for the rasterized graphics. Then you also get DW to play around with web sites on the side.

Dreamweaver CS5 - Can't create new site ( SpryAssets)
Hi guys,
i tried starting a new site in Dreamweaver CS 5 but it's not possible because of needing a SpryAssets folder. No, i know how to create a site, but since Dreamweaver is installed on OS X Lion, i can't get it to work. I do every thing like I am supposed to do, but nothing helps. I've seen many people with that problem so there must be any help. Please dont just post links on how to create a site, i know that but my problem looks more like a bug and not like a problem because of myself.
Sorry for my bad english,
greetings
Peter Zwegat2Hello Peter,
hope I understood you correctly: Please let's first talk about your directory structure. I for my part use something like that:
Now MY DW has no problems in finding my "SpryAssets" folder. Please control your pathes. In DW source code sometimes these ../ or ../../ can be helpful too.
... and better, please send a link to your webite in question, no matter how it looks like.

Deployed Acrobat XI and Dreamweaver CS5/CS6 MSI issue
Hello everybody,
After many hours trying different cases I identified my problem, but I don't have any solution !
I deployed Acrobat XI with an MSI created with the Adobe tool.
When I wanted to deploy Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 (or CS6) created with Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition I had a 1603 error.
If I install the Dreamweaver MSI without having Acrobat installed no problem.
If I install Dreamweaver manually with Acrobat MSI installed no problem.
If I install manually Acrobat and deploy the Dreamweaver MSI package no problem neither.
I recreated both Acrobat and Dreamweaver packages, but it's all the same!
If you have any idea that could help it will be welcome !

No login available in Business Catalyst extension panel in Dreamweaver CS5.
I am not getting the login form in the Business Catalyst Extension panel in Dreamweaver CS5.
I have added the extension and restarted Dreamweaver, but the panel still shows two buttons: Get Started ( taking me to download the extension) and Learn More ( taking me to a page that does not exist anymore).
Does anyone know how to make the login form appear so that I can get Business Catalyst integrated with Dreamweaver CS5?

Hi all,
We originally started creating InDesign extensions "manually" several years ago, as we did not yet want to pay for the original Extenson Builer 1.0. We produced our ZXP files from the contents of the bin-debug folder using Fabien Bizot's Java-based "ZXPPackager" utililty (http://www.lafabrick.com/),
When we finally installed Extension Builder 1.5, we had some problems creating ZXP with the built-in exporter for Abode Application Extension. Since the compiler put all the files into the bin-debug folder still, I could still use ZXPPackager.
We just upgraded to Extension Builder 2.1. For any legacy project, whether it was still "manually created" (i.e., without even Extenson Builder 1.5) and I copied the sources into a new Extension Builder project, or created in Extenson Builder 1.5 and converted to Extension Bulder 2.1, the Export to ZXP does not work. I see the compiler is creating a bin-release folder, then it disappears, and no ZXP is to be found. Since bin-debug no longer has all files in it like it used to, the ZXPPackager can't find what it's looking for and can't make a ZXP - so I am stuck.
Please - help!
mlavieI have an update, and would greatly appreciate anyone's help:
Upon further investigation, the issue is not the Extension itself (regardless of whether it was created newly in EB2.1, in EB1.5, or created "manually" by building my own manifest, etc.).
The issue is that there are two library projects whose inclusion as project referennce in any Extension Builder project (regardless of whem/how it was created) causes the EB project not to produce a ZXP file using the Export wizard.
I tried deleting the 2 library projects, creating them anew empty - and they could be referenced successfully. I added back all the source files and this solved the problem, as of yesterday. Today, I tried building the ZXPs again, and it stopped working. I should mention that it appears that when the Export did work, it seemed to be changing the referenced project somehow. I noticed that they were given .mxi files, which I thought should not be created for a non EB project.
I should add (i'm about to post a seperate discussion) the Flash Builder error log is giving me a ton of Eclipse errors for many actions. Is this "normal"? By that, I mean is everyone getting those warnings and errors?
All help greatly appreciated.
