Thank you for the information.

I tried it out and it did not work the first time, because I have no write privileges in my “Vista” Program Files, folder. If you follow the steps given above and it also does not work for you, then simply copy the Extensions.txt and the MMDocumentTypes.xml files to your desktop, edit them there, and replace(paste) the files back to their original folder.

If you are using cakePHP you will find files .thtml and .ctp and to open files with extension .thtml and .ctp in Adobe Dreamweaver you need to follow these steps:

1. Open MMDocumentTypes.xml file inside folder (C:\Program Files\ your-dreamweaver-folder \Configuration\DocumentTypes)
2. In line 67 which has id, PHP_MySQL add thtml/ctp extension on, winfileextension=“php,php3,php4,thtml,ctp” macfileextension=“php,php3,php4,thtml,ctp”
3. Open file Extensions.txt inside folder (C:\Program Files\ your-dreamweaver-folder \Configuration)
4. Add THTML,CTP at the first line seperated by comma at the very end so the command will look like ,THTML,CTP:All Documents
5. Similarly add these two extensions to the “œ:PHP Files” line. so the command will look like, PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,TPL,THTML,CTP:PHP Files
   Now the final step
6. Open file Extensions.txt inside folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\ your-dreamweaver-folder \Configuration)
7. Add THTML,CTP at the first line seperated by comma at the very end so the command will look like ,THTML,CTP:All Documents
8. Similarly add these two extensions to the “œ:PHP Files” line. so the command will look like, PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,TPL,THTML,CTP:PHP Files
9. Finally, restart your dreamweaver and you should be able to run the files.

Thanks mate, helped me open/edit .ctp files directly!

Or you can use “RJ TextEd” – To edit like all file types :-)

you could always use notepad++ I love it :D

what about mac – with regards to the final step: Open file Extensions.txt inside folder (C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Application Data\ your-dreamweaver-folder \Configuration) – can’t find that file :(

On Windows 7 the second extensions file is in:
C:\Users\[YourUser]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration

I did these things in documentTypes file but still i can not able to open .ctp in dreamweaver, What is the problem with this?

Thanks #2 Ravi!

Most of the websites teaching how to open ctp in dw doesnt mention about the other extensions.txt in documents and settings folder.
