Adobe has a nice document that somewhat explains how to get Dreamweaver to recognize files by their extension, but it hasn’t been updated for cs4 yet (or maybe they moved it?)
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16410
For CS4, edit the Extensions.txt file found in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration
On the first line, find PHP5 and add ,PHP6,PHTML after it
Then hop down to the line that details the PHP Files and make it look like this:
PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,PHP6,PHTML,TPL:PHP Files
Additionally, the good people over at Magento (nice eCommerce platform BTW) have an article detailing how to do this as well:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how-to/working_with_phtml_and_dreamwearver
just loaded windows 7 and it seems impossible to edit these files — i get access denied — DW is closed
ideas on how do add extensions?
tried with notepad
