    dw plugin something missing

    in the help files it says after i have opened a layout for editing with the edit layout in dw button, and made my changes i should

    "go to the 'Actinic' menu in Dreamweaver and then select 'Submit Changes to Actinic'. "

    there is no such available selection not even grayed out,

    ive looked at some other posts but cant find anything specific to this..
    Simbo thanks you in advance again

    Hi Simbo,

    There is a DW extention plugin when you install Actinic that needs to be installed for it to be available in DW.

    If you didn't install it at the time, you can re-install it from

    Program Files| Extensions | Dreamweaver | Actinic_Assistant

      hi simon

      the plugin is instaled fine, i can click the edit in dw button at the bottom of the design view in v8, but once changes are done in dw i cant as it says in the help files send the update back to v8.

      the actinic menu is in dw but there is no line in that menu as abouve, what was it again submit back to actinic.

        Have you just upgraded to 8.5?

        If you have, you may need to run the 8.5 DW plug-in as it is different from the v8.0.4 DW plugin.

          As simon says you need to go back and reinstall the DW extension - I had the same problem when I upgraded as the upgrade turned off my extension manager.

            sorry guys

            re-installed plugin and exactly the same, every thing about the plug in works exept in the drop down in dw for the plugin there is a missing option, the option to re-import the changes you made back into actinic.

            the help files on the dw plug in clearly show this option in the drop down and an explanation as to its use, but its just not there and it would be very handy.

              If you have already registered the design from DW then any changes to the design in future just need saving. Then going into Actinic and refreshing the preview should show your updated design.

                may be im being picky

                may be im being picky, i know the work around, but last night i read the help files shipped with v8.5 below.....


                Editing any Layout in Dreamweaver
                The Actinic Dreamweaver plug-in allows you to edit any layout within Dreamweaver.

                To do this you need first ensure that:

                · You have installed the Dreamweaver plug-in (as described in Installing the Dreamweaver Plug-in)

                · You have supported version of Dreamweaver installed on the same PC as Actinic (Dreamweaver MX or higher)

                When you are editing a layout, an 'Edit Layout in Dreamweaver' button will appear in the layout code toolbar.



                If you click this button, the current layout will be saved as a temporary file on your PC, and then this file will be opened in Dreamweaver for editing.

                Once you have made your changes, you can go to the 'Actinic' menu in Dreamweaver and then select 'Submit Changes to Actinic'.



                This will update the layout in the Actinic library with the changes you made in Dreamweaver.


                now i do not see in the actinic menu in dw, a Submit Changes to Actinic'. option, is this a known error will it be fixed.
                would be an exellent method for a quick tweak to a themed template..
                Simbo thanks you in advance again

                  That button works for me. This is what I see, I presume you don't?:

                    Hi Gary,

                    I only installed 8.5 yesterday and after installing the DW extension, found that it was not switched on in Extension Manager. Having ticked the box, it now works OK.

                    hth,
                    David

                            Hi Gary,

                            You should have another extension in there as well!
                            Actinic Assistant - Template 1.08
                            You need to go to C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\Extensions\Dreamweaver\Actinic_Assistant assuming you keep your v8 where I keep mine and install the new extension from there!

                            Regards,
                            David

                              thanks but

                              i just tried removed the extension i had, then re installed actinic assistant, the result is the same displays in the extension manager the same, and functions the same.
                              this is the extension that downloaded with the v8.05 trial just 2 days ago.

                              does every one else see the option im missing in the dropdown in dw.
