Dreamweaver Extensions going Pete Tong Feb 06. 042

For some time I’ve guessed that I might need to update my Dreamweaver Extensions to function correctly with Dreamweaver MX 2004. Today I found some time to take a little bit of a closer look at the subject.

It seems that Macromedia totally changed the way in which commands are inserted into the toolbars this time around.

Net result is that although my extensions will work ‘mostly’ (I think, let me know) with the latest release, the way they are inserted into the toolbar is all a bit Pete Tong.

Suffice to say I’m going to try and resolve this…

Thanks to Danilo Celic for pointing me in the direction of the revised MXI documentation on the Macromedia site.

I’ve made some changes to a couple of my old Dreamweaver Extensions to see if I could ensure compatability with MX 2004.

Basically this involved adding a few lines to the mxi, and this seems to do the job, although I have no idea how it will effect backward compatability with earlier versions of Dreamweaver. If you are running version 3,4 or MX perhaps you can try it out and let me know what results you get.

Theoretically, the Extension Manager should ignore tags that it doesn’t recognize.
