Downloaded your extension. Tired to enable it. The Dreamweaver menu item “Enable Themedreamer for Wordpress” appeared but was grey and could not be clicked on. (btw I’m new to Dreamweaver)

Hello Robin,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble enabling ThemeDreamer. Were you able to follow the installation instructions completely? Please take a moment to ensure that you have first located a valid WordPress theme file such as the default one that comes with WordPress (wp-content\themes\default\index.php). This file is located adjacent to the style.css file (it should be in the same folder). The enable menu item will not appear engaged until the document is opened in a Dreamweaver. There is a minor issue that may occur the first time you start Dw after installing ThemeDreamer whereby you may have to click the ‘Enable ThemeDreamer for WordPress’ twice before the serial number dialog box appears -but you must first have a valid WordPress theme file open to do so.
If you continue to have installation problems, feel free to contact us!
Please include your operating system version (WindowsXP, MacOSX, Vista) and Dreamweaver version (8, CS3).
Regards,
ThemeDreamer Support

Hi
I’ve been reading about your plugin and I regularly create designs (not for word press) in photoshop and code in dreamweaver cs3. I am curious as to whether or not you think its better to get to know wordpress first before playing with themedreamer (for someone reasonable comfortable reading code) or if it would be better learning both alongside each other?
What do you think?
Thanks

TheamDreamer requires at the very least:
* Someone with knowledge of HTML/CSS web page design.
* Someone with experience editing files with Dreamweaver.
ThemeDreamer is best geared for web page designers (but not necessarily web site designers) and/or web site/application developers. A good understanding of Dreamweaver is highly recommended and a solid understanding of HTML/CSS is essential. Although knowledge of WordPress is helpful, an individual with prior technical knowledge of web page design or someone who considers them self a ‘power user’ or ‘technical savvy’, could easily grasp the basic concepts of the WordPress CMS in a few hours.
You will want to know the basic WordPress concepts of (at the very least) how to upload a theme, select the theme, create a post, create a page, and create a category. Opening the default theme that comes with WordPress will visually assist you in understanding how a theme file becomes dynamic and learning the two side by side would not be difficult, but knowing WordPress basics first might be better.

We hope you find this response useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions and/or comments.

Is Themedreamer compatible with wordpress 2.6.1, i noticed on your front page it only states 2.5
September 8th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
ThemeDreamer is forward compatible with WordPress 2.6.1 themes. However, ThemeDreamer itself does not contain any WordPress code and is not aware of a theme’s code base. ThemeDreamer reads the PHP tags of a theme (which is just another PHP file) and interprets the contents using its own built in interpreter that understands features present as of WordPress 2.5. Some features currently in 2.6.1 such as gravatars, will not render in version .3 of ThemeDreamer. Instead, the standard Dreamweaver PHP yellow badge will be displayed in lieu of the ‘unknown’ PHP tag. As ThemeDreamer advances in beta version numbers, expect to see more support for additional WordPress compatibility.

How do I get the Property Inspector to show the include files that make up pages.php, index.php, single.php, etc. Like in the video?
November 26th, 2008 at 8:06 am
Most of the time you just highlight a given region, or a reliable method is to simply click the post body’s sample picture in Design View. This will cause the Property Inspector to reveal any linked files as additional links.
