Customizing Dreamweaver

■

The value of the 

internaltype

 attribute for the new document type must be 

DWTemplate

.

■

The 

dynamicid

 attribute must be set, and the value must be a reference to the identifier of 

an existing dynamic document type.

The following example defines a dynamic document type: 

<documenttype 
    id="PHP_MySQL" 
    servermodel="PHP MySQL" 
    internaltype="Dynamic" 
    winfileextension="php,php3" 
    macfileextension="php,php3"
    file="Default.php">
    <title>PHP</title> 
    <description><![CDATA[PHP document]]></description>
</documenttype> 

Now, you can define the following dynamic template, which is based on this 

PHP_MySQL

 

dynamic document type:

<documenttype 
    id="DWTemplate_PHP" 
    internaltype="DWTemplate" 
    dynamicid="PHP_MySQL" 
    winfileextension="php.dwt" 
    macfileextension="php.dwt" 
    file="Default.php.dwt">
    <title>PHP Template</title> 
    <description><![CDATA[Dreamweaver PHP Template document]]></

description>

</documenttype> 

When a Dreamweaver user creates a new blank template of type DWTemplate_PHP, 
Dreamweaver lets the user create PHP server behaviors in the file. Furthermore, when the user 
creates instances of the new template, the user can create PHP server behaviors in the 
instance. 

In the previous example, when the user saves the template, Dreamweaver automatically adds a 
.php.dwt extension to the file. When the user saves an instance of the template, Dreamweaver 
adds the .php extension to the file.
