Joomla Site-Specific Code Hints not working, DW5

I setup a Site using an existing Joomla installation on localhost, including the testing server and MySQL database. After trying to enable Site-Specific Code for Joomla for this Site, I still cannot get any sort of Joomla reference or hinting while editing code. After seaching both these forums and other sites, I cannot seem to find any details as to how this integration actually works.
Where in DW5 can I actually see Joomla integration, code hinting, or Joomla API reference after setting it up with a Site?

Since this is non standard DW5 functionality you may be better off contacting the author of the Lynda.com class through Lynda.com to see if they can help you check to see if you have things configured properly. Lynda.com is very good about getting you access to the authors.

Site-specific code hints not working

Hi, I'm new here. I really hope that someone will help me. I think this might be a very simple question. I am using WAMP and it's working. I have installed the Zend Framework and made sure that the include_path is the path where Zend Framework library resides. I'm trying to use Zend's Date.php and its Zend_Date() class. I have correctly added the site-specific code hints. My problem is that I am getting this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function Zend_Date() in C:\wamp\www\dwwithphp\_includes\DateUtility.php on line 6. I am actually following lynda.com's Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and mySQL tutorials in chapter 0305: Using Zend Framework classes with code hints. I have followed all instructions and I'm getting this error. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Site specific code hinting not working

Dreamweaver CS6
I included the dw wordpress code hinting to a site I'm working on my local server. when I <?php then ctrl spacebar wp nothing comes up. w is fine but that's not wordpress specific.
I have it working on another site in a different directory, but can't seem to get it working on this one. Anybody have any idea what the problem may be?
Thanks

Hi John,
Thanks for the tips. I tried every single one of them to no avail.
I finally got it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling Dreamweaver.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question and am so happy that one way or the other it works!

Site-Specific Code Hints

I am using a 30 day trial version of CS5.5. (side not, I love it) so I don't know if this is the source of my problem. I installed Wordpress on my computer and I am using XAMPP. I have opened the Site-Specific Code Hints and pressed ok. It does nothing. And I see no configuration file.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why it is failing.
Thanks in advance.

Dreamweaver CS6 Site setup and Site specific Code hints

I have just started using Dreamweaver CS6 and when I navigate to the server page in the site setup only the intro text is shown.... clicking my mouse around the window reveals the server table and buttons and I can proceed to set up a server.
I have several sites in there now but when I try to set up site specific code hints it shows and error saying that I need to add at least one site before I can continue.
Help

Easiest way to solve this is to have you post a screenshot of your site definition where you define the testing/remote server. Please be sure to blur or remove any sensitive information from your screenshot before posting (ie: username, password, etc). We will assume you are able to connect to the remote and/or testing server. If not you should talk with your host about the remote server or you would need to post more information about your testing environment.

Site Specific Code Hints asking for php server?

I'm trying to edit my wordpress using dreamweaver, but having such a hard time setting it up. Right now when I go to set up the site specific code hints for wordpress, it is asking me to add a php server. The site I have has a php server so I am so confused. Can someone please help me? I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The site I have has a php server
That is for your 'remote' website. Yes, it will obviously have a PHP server as it runs WP on it.
For you to be able to edit WP files locally, you need a PHP environment such as WAMP for Windows or MAMP for Mac OS.
Get it here:
MAMP: www.mamp.info/en/
WAMP: http://www.wampserver.com/en/
Install it on your computer and start the server before trying to edit files in DW.

Code hints not working in Flash CC

I just downloaded the Flash CC trial and have been looking at the forums but I can't get code hints to work at all, when I begin to type a line I get "Building code hint cache" in bottom right of Actions panel with a warning icon - no more info available, no tool tip on rollover it apparently does nothing.
I've looked for this problem in the forums and found many references to code hints not working and have tried all the support recommendations for deleting the CodeModel file, resetting preferences, deleting preferences, checking and unchecking preferences, changing the file cap in the registry and nothing seems to work - still no code hints at all.
I'm on a windows 8 machine, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Flash CS5 Update 11.0.1 Code hint not working

My Flash Cs5 I was Update
update say : version 11.0.1
but i view About flash : 11.0.0.485
and when I write some code : Code hint not working??
anyone answer for me about this Update version??

Hi,
The binary (Flash.exe/Flash.app) were not modified in the update. Thus, the binary version is still 11.0.0.485.
As for the code-hinting not working, what code are you using? Note, that the _mc, _xml, _array, etc. syntax no longer triggers code-hinting in Flash CS5 in ActionScript 3.0 documents. If that's not what you are doing, can you please provide more information about what code you are using?
Thanks,
Nivesh

Flash Code Hinting not working

I cannot seem to get code hinting working for flash (not flex) packages in Flash Builder Professional.
Code hinting is working for some some packages, but it doesn't include the the Flash specific packages (flash.*).
My Referenced Libraries includes playerglobal.swc, flash.swc, ik.sec, PffLib.swc, tlfruntime.swc, and textLayout.swc. None of these swc's seem to have the flash package included (i'd expect to see it in the flash.swc).
I have tried several attempts to create new workspaces, new projects, but nothing seems to fix it.
I am using the Flash Builder Plugin with Eclipse 3.5.2. I also have the Master Collection installed.
Is this even possible in Flash Builder?
Thanks
N8

The biggest problem is that i don't have code hinting for the flash package. For example, when attempting to create a new variable of data type flash.events.Event. i do not get code hinting for the packages or classes within those packages.

Code Hinting not working for WordPress

Hi Guys,
I followed instructions on Adobe official site to install XAMPP and then create a wordpress project on CS6.
I followed instructions in: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_wordpress_pt2.html
I realized that code hinting is not as good as the other IDEs.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks,
Kim

I want to use code hinting for php coding. I followed steps posted on adobe. But when I press Crt + Space, it says "Systax error, need to fix so code hinting can work properly"
<?php "I press Crt+Space from here"
Regards,
Kim

HTML5 code hinting not working inside Javascript Function on DW CS6

Hi,
I am working on Dreamweaver CS6 and code hinting isnt working as expected when writing Javascript code.
The minute I insert a function the code hinting doesnt display HTML5 items anymore.
Should I remove the function then the HTML5 hinting reappears.
How do I get the code hinting to work when I add in the function?
Thanks
Herman

For now it does look like a bug. Let's wait for someone from Product team to revert.

Code hints not working

Dreamweaver CC 2014 on Mac Mavericks 10.9.5
The first level will come up (with the initial list of all the tags available) but no further activity either automatically or with ^space. "Enable Code Hints" is checked in preferences. Restarting system does not help.
Without help with the tags it might as well be a text editor if you work in the code view.
EDIT>> Just discovered this problem is specific to one of my defined sites. It works in a different site. Will try to set up site again.
UPDATE>> Setting up a new site will work for a little while and then stop working.

Check your code for errors. DWCC goes nutty, well nuttier anyway, than older versions when it runs into code issues...
http://validator.w3.org
Also, CC tends to not give options in hinting if what you're trying to add would be invalid for the document type. If you try to add <cfdirectory> to a .html for example, no <cf...> tags will hint at all because they don't belong in a .html document.
If none of that helps, try clearing the program cache: Deleting a corrupted cache file

Flash CS5 code hinting not working?

Just installed the new Flash CS5 trial and code hinting doesn't appear to be working! I have added all my custom class paths in to the AS3 source paths, but I don't get any code hinting for any of these just the same old code hinting you get in CS4. Am I doing something wrong or does it just not work?
UPDATE: If it helps, in the code editor i get a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in, in the bottom right hand corner. When I have over this it advises me:
" *** Unable to build code hint cache. Please save the associated FLA into a different folder. There are too many files on the classpath. *** "
This error message appears no matter what FLA/Class i open, and moving it makes no difference.
UPDATE: Problem solved, the "There are too many files on the classpath" was the clue! Slimmed down my library and all seems to work now.
However, this does bring me on to another question.. does anyone know how many class files flash can comfortably cache? I use some fairly chunky libraries in my work and am wondering if i'm going to find myself constantly slimming them down after a while?

The reason everyone gives for AS3 is that AS2 was buggy.
I don't think so. AS3 is a better language, better designed, more consistent, more powerful. I would switch to AS3 for that, not because of bugs - but I don't know what's the reason behind everyone's choice.
AS2 was not buggy, people were writing buggy scripts
AS2 was buggy. Maybe people were writing buggy scripts too, but believe me it was buggy. However AS3 is at the very least equally buggy. It is better designed, more consistent, but equally buggy in its implementation.
All software have bugs, but programming languages usually undergo a stricter and more thorough revision than other kinds of sofware because the consequences of bugs in a programming language are more disastrous.
But that's not the case of ActionScript. Maybe because of its history and its legacy, or maybe because Adobe was always dedicated to completely different kinds of software, like PhotoShop, Premiere and the like, and suddenly dove into the business of developing a programming language without having the know-how.
The level of bugginess of ActionScript is amazing. I work with actionscript daily and there's no day that I don't run 4 ot 5 times into some problem due to some bug. Not that I discover new bugs every day, just run into them - sometimes they are already reported, other times they are not.
Why should something that took one line of code (clicking on a movieClip
to move to a frame) now take 5 or more lines of code (creating a
listener object, assigning a listener object, writing a function).
It often happens that a language that is in the overall more elegant, consistent and compact, turns out to need a bit more of code for doing the simplest things. Maybe what could be done with 1 line of code now takes 5, but things that took 1000 lines of cumbersome awkward tricky and hacky code can now be done with just 100 of readable and simple-to-understand code.
When I first learned Java I was surprised at the quantity of code I had to write just to make a program that would print "hello world", while in most dialects of Basic it was just:
10 PRINT "Hello world"
Would you say Basic is superior to Java in any sense?
I teach Flash at a university, both beginner and advanced users. [...]
I'll stick to AS2 in my classes.
You should think about the damage you may be doing to your students. If they are going to use ActionScript professionally, they'll have to learn AS3, rather sooner than later. So why not save them the pain to do the effort twice? If instead you are teaching them AS just for didactic purposes (i.e. for learning programming in general) and don't care about practical applications and you don't like the way AS has evolved (i.e. AS3), then consider teaching them another language, instead of an obsolete version of a current one.
AS3 is not more complicated, or difficult to learn, or less designer-friendly or non-programmer-friendly than AS2. Not at all; rather the opposite. It is more complicated and difficult to learn when you already know AS2, because you feel like everything you knew is useless - but the same can be said about learning AS2 when you already know AS3. Starting from scratch, AS3 is indeed simpler.
But this have drifted OT, sorry. Back to the topic:
It's not an app killer, just a minor inconvenience
It's a major inconvenience if writing the same amount of code takes you three times the time it should take. That in 2010 you have to spell every single property/method/class name entirely from the first to the last letter, when most of the time it should be just a matter of typing a couple of characters and hit tab, is simply ridiculous. You may as well write your code with NotePad. Flash is (among other things) an IDE - something Adobe seemed to neglect up to recently; and when they finally decided to take a step into making it work like any other decent IDE, it does not work!!
There are bigger things to complain about.
On this you are definitely right.
Using their pretty remarkable products (where would we be without PS or
DW?) is not a right, it's a (sometimes frustrating) privilege.
It's a privilege you pay for. That's when it becomes a right.
So Adobe mods, we're frustrated but only because we're all loyal users who depend on your products
(emphasis is mine)
Exactly. That's the point.
Note there's been no helpful answer from them yet: that's how much they care about loyal users who depend on their products.

Close Tags and other code hints not working after installing Dreamweaver 2014

I'm working on a windows machine. All the code hinting features where working on previous installations, but they're not on 2014. I'm not sure if it's a bug or something was changed and I have to turn the features on somewhere other than the Code Hints settings?

Try re-starting CC2014.
