server side includes

does anyone know why I cannot edit the ssi file in design view using
dreamweaver mx . the only editable view allowed is code view (html). I did
not have this problem with the same website in dreamweaver 4. Any assistance is
greatly appreciated.

what is the file extension of the included file?

Make sure you are editing in the Configuration folder for You as a User.

This TechNote explains it:

HTH,

how do I do this-
"Make sure you are editing in the Configuration folder for You as a User."

as soon as I save my file to .ssi my ability to edit in design view dissappears. Help! i did not have this problem in dw 4

I am having a problem with dwmx2004. after I delete all the tags (html,header,
body ) from code view and save my file as an ssi file the design view
immediately dissappears. I am no longer able to edit my page in design view.
I need to be able to edit in design view. With dw4 this did not happen. is
anyone else having this problem with dwmx2004 7.0.1. How do I preserve design
view so I may edit my server side include file?

repeating:

Add the .ssi file extension as one recoginized by Dreamweaver.

Easier though- there is no need to name the files being included as .ssi
You can name them anything. So use .html or .php or whatever.
{if there is any serverside code in them it's a very good idea to give them
the proper file extension so that if someone finds them and loads them
directly, the server parses them and hides any serverside stuff}

here is what the file configuration/extensions.txt looks like and the ssi
extentions is already there isn't it?????
Wouldn't it be okay to rename the ssi file to .htm, make changes in preview
and then rename it back to .ssi? Its too bad that this has to be done. I
designed the site in dw4 and did not have this problem. my client has dwmx2004
and could not figure out how to edit her ssi files in code view (can't say I
blame her).

Hello. You've posted about the same question 4 times in this thread.
Could you PLEASE make some acknowledgement that you SEE and READ the
replies?

pls respond YES that you are seeing these repeated answers??

Have you read the Technote?

have you done ALL the steps in it?

MMDocumentTypes.xml ??

It works.

Complete the instructions, and make SURE you are in the Configuration folder
for YOU as a USER, using the chart and 8x10 glossy photos in the technote as
a guide.



on your question- Yes- if you can't complete the Technote instructions to
add .ssi as a valid file extension, you can rename foo.ssi to foo.html

Once you have renamed it- there really isn't any need to rename it back to
..ssi except as a choice to have them visually identifiable as includes from
looking at a directory listing.

****************
Now- If your problem is that the design view has disappeared for files that
USE includes IN them- that's a different matter. It is always related to bad
syntax. Look in code view- are there yellow highlighted tags?
What's a url address to a page- and what are the direct url addresses to all
the includes used in it.

extentions is already there isn't it?????

Yes -I am seeing your replies and boy do I appreciate them. thank you so much
for trying to help me. I cannot find the configuration folder in windows xp
home version to change the user configurations you are talking about. I would
like to do this but I am having trouble finding the file folder.

The problem is not that: "If your problem is that the design view has
disappeared for files that
USE includes IN them- that's a different matter"
the problem is design view dissappears immediately upon renaming the file to
..ssi. the shtml file are fine.

no to this-

"Look in code view- are there yellow highlighted tags?"


"What's a url address to a page- and what are the direct url addresses to all
the includes used in it."
