Re: FN-FORUM: Extension-less files in Dreamweaver

date posted 16th January 2005 17:09

Thanks for the links Tony - I had tried changing the extensions in the
preferences, but no luck. I notice that I can just keep the PHP
extension but just leave it out of the URL. For example, 'index.php'
will be still recognised as 'index'. Is this the case on all servers?

And Luke, I'd be quite happy to use another editor - I don't use most
of Dreamweaver's features anyway. But I haven't been able to find a
text editor that automatically uploads files over FTP on save.
Something that works on Linux would be even better! I think the
development version of Bluefish has this support, but would rather
have a stable release.

Regards, Joe.
