I have just upgraded to DreamWeaver 4.0. Lo and behold, it has webDav support.
I can open the site in DreamWeaver and it looks just great. It would be a really, I mean REALLY, nice management interface for Zope.
Two problems though:
1) I cannot open my dtml methods in Dreamweaver as they have no extensions. Appart from giving them extensions has anybody had succes with this in Dreamweaver? I can solve it by dragging them onto an empty page, but that ain't to neat. It also only gives the code view.
No, Dreamweaver cannot do without file extensions. WebDAV does carry the content-type, but Dreamweaver (like all windows WebDAV clients) ignores it.
2) The files that DreamWeaver gets over is rendered html files. So it is not actually dtml, but the html resulting from the dtml method. Anybody has a clue to why this is?
WebDAV retrieves files using a normal HTTP GET. So you get the rendered version everyone sees. WebDAV does know a 'source link' property, which in Zope correctly points to the unrendered DTML source, but I have yet to see a client that actually makes use of this. Zope 2.3a1 let's you start an extra server on a different port that only serves source, especially for WebDAV clients. I'd say, file feature requests with Macromedia :) Note that the Macromedia WebDAV implementation has some serious bugs, see elsewhere on this list. The good news is that I just received word from Macromedia that they are testing an update to Dreamweaver that fixes these issues. It should be available on Macromedia Exchange soon. -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ ---------------------------------------------
