Configuration Folders And Extensions - MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER MX 2004-EXTENDING DREAMWEAVER Manual

Code Hints
are menus that offer a typing shortcut by displaying a list of strings that potentially
complete the string you are typing. If one of the strings in the menu matches the string that you
started to type, you can select it to insert it in place of the string that you are typing. Code Hints
menus are defined in the codehints.xml file in the Configuration/CodeHints folder, and you can
add new code hints menus to it for new tags or functions that you have defined.
Menus are defined in the menus.xml file in the Configuration/Menus folder. You can add new
Dreamweaver menus for your extensions by adding the menu tags for them to the menus.xml file.

Configuration folders and extensions

The folders and files that are stored in the Dreamweaver Configuration folder contain the
extensions that come with Dreamweaver. When you write an extension, you must save the files in
the proper folder for Dreamweaver to recognize them. If you download and install an extension
from the Macromedia Exchange website (www.macromedia.com/exchange), the Extension
Manager automatically saves the extension files to the proper folders.
You can use the files in the Dreamweaver Configuration folder as examples, but these files are
generally more complex than the average extension that is available on the Macromedia Exchange
website. For more information on the contents of each subfolder within the Configuration folder,
see the Configuration_ReadMe.htm file.
