Hi Rich,

An MXP extension can be converted to a ZXP extension using the “Convert MXP Extension To ZXP” tool. This tool can be found in the Tools menu in http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/em6_download.html

For more info, please refer to http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/dreamweaver-cc-server-extensions.html

Hi Rich,

Did you try installing the extensions from the below locations:-

Vista/Windows 7: C:/Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/Configuration/DisabledFeatures

Mac OS X: /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC/Configuration/DisabledFeatures

In Dreamweaver CC, server behaviors are available as an extension, Deprecated_ServerBehaviorsPanel_Support.zxp. After you install the extension, the server behaviors feature is enabled and extensions dependent on it work as they did previously.

Hello Anit

I was following along this conversation and I am having the same problem as Rich. I followed all of your steps so far including installing the Disabled Features but I am still getting the error message. When I went to look at the menus.xml file I noticed that the path that the error is referencing doesn't even exist on my computer! There is no "C:/user/[username]/AppData/..." I double checked and my Dreamweaver CC is properly installed and working. How can this be?

You would think more Dreamweaver/ColdFusion users would be talking about this online but when I search for the error I get very few results, none of which are useful.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Cody,

Can you let us know, your Operating System?

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, Win 7 64.

This sounds like an awful lot of trouble to go through to add CF support back to Dreamweaver.  You support PHP without jumping through hoops and yet your own product you no longer support.  In my mind, it is telling people that Adobe no longer supports Cold Fusion.

I upgraded to the cloud from version 6 and so far I'm not impressed.

unfortunately a lot of people have come to that conclusion and have moved to another IDE.

Here are all the alternatives http://carehart.org/cf411/#editors

Yeah this is unfortunate. I use Dreamweaver purely as a code editor and FTP. I guess it's just because I've used it for so long to do my HTML, CSS, JS and ColdFusion that it's familiar. Basically, I like the code highlighting, the site manager and the FTP, probably 1% of its features.

I'll start looking into alternatives then.

Is there a fix for this?

We moved our entire suite from CS6 to CC. We also upgraded to Coldfusion 10 and need the Coldfusion 10 DreamWeaver Extension to work.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I have converted Extension from .mxp to .zxp

Now I am getting this error.

The element 'DWMenu_Help_Reference' cannot be found in C':\user\craig.DSM-DSAG\APPData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver\CC\en_US\Configuration\Menus\Me nus.xml

The extention will not be installed.

Why is this so hard? If your going to sunset Coldfusion Support in DreamWeaver then tell us, so we do not waste our time and money.

  I found the solution. Took me a while but got it done. I am running Windows 7 64bit, so do not know if solution will work for your system or not.

So Here are the steps you have to take to get  Coldfusion 10 Dreamweaver Extension for Dreamweaver CC to install.

1. On another workstation Download Coldfusion 10 Dreamweaver 10 Extension from here. http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads.html
2. On that same workstation Download the Adobe CS6 Extension Manager. http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/em6_download.html
3. In Adobe CS6 Extention Manager go to "TOOLS" then drop down to "Convert MXP Extension to ZXP. Once converted copy ColdFusion10_Tags_for_DW.zxp to workstation where Dreamweaver CC and Adobe Extension Manager CC is installed.
4. Before installing, go to C:\Users\<your userprofile>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\en_US\Configuration\Menus\Menus.xml  (Remember AppData is hidden by default) (open xml in text editor)
5. Once Text editor is open do a find for "DWMenu_Help_Reference"
   You will find the following string.
   
   <!-- menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_Help_Reference" key="Shift+F1" command="dw.updateReference()" enabled="true" checked="dw.getFloaterVisibility('reference')" domRequired="FALSE" id="DWMenu_Help_Reference" / -->
   
   Erase the !-- on the front of the string and the -- on the end of the string. Leave the < > on the ends. (This means the element was commented out, so would not work)
   
   
   It sould look like this:
   
   <menuitem mmstring:name="menus/DWMenu_Help_Reference" key="Shift+F1" command="dw.updateReference()" enabled="true" checked="dw.getFloaterVisibility('reference')" domRequired="FALSE" id="DWMenu_Help_Reference" />
   
   
6. Save the file.
   
   
7. Now install the ColdFusion10_Tags_for_DW.zxp file. It will install with no errors.

Hope this helps.

Here is another problem that I just discovered but that you should be aware of.  Templates in Dreamweaver CC will not update .cfm files.  Works in CS6 but .cfm files are ignored in Dreamweaver CC.

Since most of us who use Dreamweaver, also use templates this is a big deal.  My whole site is .cfm.

The steps CrazyTuna provided worked great for me. Running Windows 7 32-bit :-(.  Had DW 5 installed and we just got our CC licenses.Was really perturbed when no CF stuff would work in DW-CC and then a co-worker found your post and like I said ... worked like a charm.  Thanks a lot for the info.

Greetings sduncanute,  did you ever get a solution to updating of .cfm files by DW CC?  This is a terrible outcome for me, hoping someone knows how to fix Adobe's missteps?

Thanks,

Ash

Ditto. I just upgraded to Dreamweaver CC and am very disappointed - maybe even pissed. I love CF but it seems every time I turn around Adobe is doing something else that gives me the impression that they are distancing themselves from CF. Maybe their Dreamweaver department is all PHP developers now? I’ll continue looking for the well hidden CF extension hoop – I’m sure it’s around somewhere…

(BTW, the CF10 trick above no longer works as the CF10 Extensions no longer exists since CF11 became the only version available)

In Dreamweaver CC:

1. Go to preferences

2. In the "choose external applications" section, hit the "+" and enter ".cfm".

3.  In the editor window, select your Dreamweaver app and make it the primary editor.

start coding, code completion works... go figure (aka Adobe are liars)

Has anyone figured out a way to get the hover over tag + right-click->edit to be an option?

Does anyone know why the dynamically related CFM files are not appearing in dreamweaver CC? Tried fiddling with all the options and nothing. My includes are no longer linked to the doc I'm working on.

Anyone have a solution?

Because CC is a POS when used with CF. Only solution so far is to install a pre-CC version of Dreamweaver or use another editor.
