New Smarty Extension for Dreamweaver
I recently packaged a Smarty template extension for Dreamweaver which allows web designers who are working with Smarty templates to work on templates using Dreamweaver’s Design View. You can download the extension here. To install the extension, simply use the Macromedia Extension Manager. I offer no support or warranties for this extension, but welcome feedback about it.

I’m just about to fly home after spending the week at ZendCon in Santa Clara, California. It was my first trip to ZendCon and was glad to get the chance to interact with other PHP developers and other industry leaders. Nearly 700 attendees, including other PHP developers, managers and other professionals were on hand for [...]
My Lastest and Greatest Web Project
If you’re wondering why I’ve been so quiet lately, it’s because I’ve been working on one of the biggest sites I’ve ever helped launch: www.pchquiz4cash.com. The site is written using PHP/MySQL and offers quizzes which users can answer questions and win cash if they ace the quiz. The site was launched at [...]

EXCELLENT!
I thought Dreamweaver had finally come up with a Smarty solution, then I realized I installed your extension!

I like how it tidies the code but wouldn’t it be more useful if it didn’t replace {$var} instances?
Usually these are precisely the things that you actually want to see styled in the design view and not replaced with an icon.

Question: will this work on Dreamweaver MX 6.1 and/or Dreamweaver 8? In DW 8 is seems to not work, unless I am missing something.
October 26, 2006 - 2:13 pm
Nice tool, thanks a million.

Appreiciate the time and effort that you’ve taken to design the extention. I can see a few nights full of sleep (saving me hours from cs-cart mods ) .

Thank you so much for this, its awesome!

Thanks for the plugin,
It’s saved me a lot of time

This doesn’t seem to translate include file paths properly, or perhaps all my include paths need to be relative to the currnet .tpl file. It would be awesome if there was a way to set a preference for the template directory so this extension would translate file includes properly when you are working on an application that defines its own template directory. In most of the apps I’ve worked on, template includes are never relative to the current document, but instead use the template directory defined in the $smarty object at runtime. Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

This extension made my day, week and more. Thanks for doing all the leg work on this. What an awesome extension!!
March 22, 2007 - 3:26 am
Thanks for the extension…
There are some problems with DW8 I’d like to report:
1. HTML code is not colored, html completion is not working etc. etc.
2. When I double click on a file in the “files” tab, it says: “Can’t find a valid editor for this extension”. Right click on file -> Open With/Dreamweaver works.
3. Save as dialog shows html files, not tpl files.

Can this extension handle foreach ???/ tksss
November 17, 2007 - 4:18 pm
Can you change the delimiters to be {{ and }} rather than the default { } ? I need to do this as have smarty variables being used within javascript sections of code.
thx dave
November 24, 2007 - 12:09 am
Have decided to use standard delimiters for smarty { } so will use {ldelim} and {rdelim} for javascript code in template files.
My next question now is does anyone know how to dynamically set smarty variables in dreamweaver ? I.E set {$name} to be ‘David’ when looking at template files in dreamweaver ?
thanks dave

Greetings,
I was wondering if there was any support for subdirectory templates? Since my site sets a base directory for Smarty templates when I I include “admin/footer.tpl” inside “admin/index.tpl” I get a file not found (not 100% sure why), but I am assuming that it has to do with the way my smarty template dir is set. Is there any way to change how this is supported?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am having the same issue as RealEstateSchool and was wondering if you had any intentions of further developing this extension. If not, might it be possible to share the source so others could continue to improve upon your original code. I use smarty often in complex enough setups that this feature would be well worth my time to develop.
Otherwise, the extension works great, and am very grateful you took the time to develop it.
Thanks!

I tried the extention on dreamweaver 8, but have not tried it on Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 (9).
Will this work on Dreamweaver CS3 ?
May 5, 2008 - 12:19 am
Yes, this extension does work in CS3
May 8, 2008 - 8:35 am
Making this great extension Open-Source would be great
Big thanks anyway…

This works like a bomb.
I can’t even begin to tell you how hard I looked for something like this.
And how much time and effort this is going to save my company and our design teams.
What’s missing here is a donate box – this extension is just out of this world – I want to contribute money to it!
THANK YOU!
