Yet another extension developed by customers' requests.

Use message templates: preview and save them to the server or local hard drive (now also available in Firefox); preview and load templates from the server (in txt, html and php file format).
Specify Character Encoding.
Change any message parameter at any time during mailout cycle.

Spry Data Utilities Toolkit

2007-08-28T17:29:21

Many would agree that Adobe Spry Framework is one of the most exiting features of Dreamweaver CS 3 and definitely the #1 reason for the upgrade.
Besides the obvious ones it contains many hidden features allowing, for example, to manipulate data or execute almost any server-side code through AJAX.
For the past few months I have been working on the set of extensions to bring those features to the surface. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Spry Data Utilities Toolkit.

Spry Data Utilities is a set of extensions for developing web applications powered by Adobe Spry framework for AJAX.
Using these tools you can take advantage of built-in Dreamweaver Server Behaviors for implementing AJAX-driven data related tasks (e.g. searching, creating, updating and deleting records), as well as building functionality for executing your own server-side code via AJAX(e.g. sending email or uploading files).
Additional Spry buttons for your Insert panel will provide easier access to the most commonly used Spry Region elements.

Recordset to XML (Dataset to XML for ASP.NET) Server Behavior.
Generate dynamic XML from your Recordset or Dreamweaver ASP.NET Dataset and reference the page as XML data source for your Spry Data Set or save as a file (e.g. for use as a Design Time feed for your Spry Data Set.
Compatible with ASP.NET (VB and C#), PHP (MySQL), ColdFusion and ASP (VBScript) Server Models.
Spry Server Action object.
Create, update and delete records using built-in Dreamweaver Server Behaviors or execute your own server side code with Spry Server Action object.
- Specify a page element that will show while the operation is in progress (e.g. "Contacting server" ).
- Display browser dialog with the message returned from the server.
- Refresh a Spry Data Set to reflect on the latest data changes (after deleting, creating or updating a record).
- In addition you can specify the names of your own "success" and "error" functions.
Spry Search object.
Build AJAX-powered search functionality with Spry Search.
Specify the page element to display if search returns no results and another one to show when the results are available. To be used with Recordset to XML Server Behavior.
Spry Region State objects (Error,Loading,Ready) and Spy XML Data Set Total Records object.
Select a block of content inside your Spry Region and click the corresponding button on the Spry toolbar to assign to it a region state.
A collection of error icons and animated progress bar images included for your convenience.

The Toolkit includes comprehensive Manual.

PHP Captcha for Dreamweaver

2006-09-01T22:51:55

Today I have posted a new extension for Dreamweaver - PHP Captcha (Security Image). With this extension Dreamweaver users can quickly add Captcha functionality to their web forms.
The extension has a number of customizable parameters which can be used to modify its appearance and number of characters in the verification code. The rendered results can be previewed in the Insert Object dialog as well as on the page after the object has been inserted. The parameters can be modified at any time.
You can also use your own image to generate Captcha code.
The extension has been already successfully tested on a number of web sites.
If you want to learn more about the extension or Captcha in general you can find the info here.
