Anyone have experience of extending Dreamweaver by adding menu options (something like this: http://www.webreference.com/new/dwextend.html) I need to write a simple thingie to duplicate a link and add a prefix to the second half of it... but not sure how to do this with javascript.... wahhhhh

    /me opens ConTEXT and makes his array ctrl+c ctrl+v rinse and repeat.

    hehe thought so but was hoping lech might actually know how to do this!

    Nah, sorry Jstripe, I only use DW for the quick and dirty layouts then do the rest by hand and tweak it as I go along. DW is pretty piss poor these days at rendering most of the advanced stuff so it's only useful for prepping things up. NOTEPAD FOR THE WIN!

    :-( Anyone know some javascript then? Need to turn a link like this: http://www.website.com/pdfs/document.pdf into http://otherwebsite.com/cgi-bin/pdfenrsnav?url=document.pdf

    You could do it in PHP and probably with htaccess using regex and mod rewrite.

    Has to be javascript I tink...
  • nick1prestanick1presta
    I know you can do it with JS, but I'm not fluent enough to suggest how...

    Mass search and replace I say. Even DW can do a systematic mass search and replace like this. Simply break the urls down to 3 parts, domain, folder, document and asign it by hand.

    Didn't explain, my faultt although I get your first post now ;-) My client updates their website using Contribute. So this is not an option... they need to insert these damn text-to-speech links for every pdf in Contribute... but luckily it is extensible in the same was as Dreamweaver apparently.... Anyhows if I work out the javascript I'm half way there, as the acual menu is created via a massif xml file.... (nice use of xml though)

    Jstripe, don't the macromedia extension pages have similar downloads offered up to you? I know you can find something similar there to hack and bend to your needs.

    p.s. He's called 3stripe. Unless it's an inside joke.

    Jech, Yeah i tried looking at those already but the extensions are bundled up into an mxp file which means all the code is garbled when you open it...

    find the authors home page, look for zip, not .mxp, it usually includes the actual source files with all the meaty bits. also it's an L not a J :D
