Hi tone,
Right enough DW is stupid enough to base file types on extensions, I've yet to see anyfile open that has no extension.
Aha.
P**ses me off no end, DW is pretty cool otherwise.
The only thing I've resorted to is calling my files 'index.html' or 'sql.html' etc.
If you find a way around this let me know.
I got an email off Johan Carlsson mentioning the Configuration directory under Win32. I use a Mac though, so I've had to pass on that. I've invited him to email the list with his thoughts though...
BTW How'd the launch go?

Background: Last week my multiply hosted Zope sites went live. 60 people here at Newcastle, 50 at Durham and a high-level demo at Nottingham. All hitting the same box. All hitting the same Zope 2.0.1 installation. All hitting the same MySQL server. Durham reported no problems at all. Notts also did rather well. However, stupid-sod here at Newcastle used a numeric IP so all traffic went through our proxy server first == slow... aaagh!. Using an address that avoided the proxy meant things were cool however. I was worried about multi-threaded Zope and MySQL, but all the major accesses were read-only so I guess I got away with it. Basically it's an electronic curriculum system that displays structured data from an SQL database. The SQL data gets there from Word->RTF->XML->SQL. Zope allows an element to be extracted from the database, and rendered differently depending on what type of element it is, ie type = text render = <p><dtml-var content null=" "></p> type = library (a code telling what books are used on the course) render = SQL query to library database, data rendered is ISBN numbers, authors, titles, availability etc. The XML link is very interesting as XMLDocument raises some luscious possibilities! If you can bear to put up with 'System Unavailable' messages until I get them sorted out (ie I'm still finishing the demo site!), you can check it out at http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/nle/demo/medfac/ I'll also eventually have some information up on how the guides were created, attributions to Zope etc. -- but for the time being consider it a WIP (I need to get this email out about DreamWeaver!) The sites for Durham and Nottingham are very similar, but for obvious reasons, I can't show them here... tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
