    Dreamweaver CC and incontext editing. No tools anymore?

      Hey,

       

      I've just updated to Dreamweaver CC to find out that the tools for integrating incontext editing tags into a page have been removed. I always found these tools extremly helpful for me as designer as well as I found incontext editing a major selling point for my clients. Actually I was hoping to get more Business Catalyst integration in CC not LESS.

       

      Is there any way to get back these functions as extensions? Or will we get new tools for the new editor (which is still in beta) in a future version of DW CC?

       

      Regards

      Tim

          Nobody having the same problem? Or having an opinion about it?

            InContext editing in DW was a solution unto itself but Adobe stopped supporting it officially as an external plugin and decided it would exist solely on Business Catalyst.

             

            BC's DW integration does not include inserting ICE like they do for modules and other tags in your layouts which is why you can't find any way to do it inside DW.

             

            Furthermore, ICE is undergoing an overhaul and the next Gen version of ICE is still being worked out. I wouldn't use that version yet for clients full on just yet but you can read more about the next gen version of ICE on BC at http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3201

             

            Basically, it's just some markup that you add to your HTML elements in your web page or page template.  You can also use the new ICE in BC's Email Campaigns so that your clients can create new HTML email campaigns and edit the content of your email template where you want them to or add/insert new repeating regions that you setup for them.

             

            Here's more about the ICE in the email campaigns: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2862

             

            I don't think you need to worry about including the ICE javascript assets like you used to with the original ICE... if you add the markup to your html or email campaigns it should work out of the box.

              Thanks, you're right. The markup for the new version of ICE is different anyway. I've just set up the markup for the current ICE as code fragments in DW so I can work with it as easy as before. Javascript can be manually copied from an older project.
