XTND.US releases early preview download of their Drupal API extension for Dreamweaver. Reduce typing and get past plain text editing of Drupal files in Dreamweaver. If you are into Drupal and use, or want to use, Dreamweaver then you really need this extension. Let us save you tons of time by reducing keystrokes with our Drupal API code hints integration for Dreamweaver (API versions 5 & 6). The preview provides code hints for every Drupal API method.

Not only does it provide full Drupal API code hints (5.x & 6.x) in PHP files, but it also adds support for commong Drupal file types, like .module, .theme, .info, .tal, etc., and even provides code hints while editing those file types, treating then as common PHP pages. No more tweaking Dreamweaver's configuration manually, just download this free extension and makes Dreamweaver more useful when working on Drupal modules and themes.

View a demo video or download the extension at http://xtnd.us/dreamweaver/drupalapi.


Thanks a lot

You download it from our site and double-click the downloaded MXP to start the installation of the extension through your Extension Manager, with Dreamweaver closed of course. When you launch Dreamweaver it will have the Drupal API inside of it for you to code with.


Negates syntax highlighting for module files

In MX 2004 I had previously configured syntax highlighting for Drupal .inc and module files following the instructions here.

I have just now downloaded the Drupal API extension, it installed fine and correctly provides API code hints.

But now the syntax highlighting is turned off.

I disabled the extension and the syntax highlighting returns.

Seems I can have one or the other.

Is this a known limitation?


Code coloring fix in a next release

This extension is still beta and I will work on debugging the syntax highlighting portion since it's important for all of us. I'd remove the extension for now if it's really bothering you to not have syntax highlighting and I'll announce any updates on this post.

Thanks for the feedback. The more the better!


Thank you.

It seems the website is down.

It seems that this can solve for us a lot of trouble!

Still down

The code hints should be working. The code coloring has a bug and should be fixed for the 1.0 release. Not sure when just yet.


Great initiative!
