Should dreamweaver mx display design view

[h2ocean]

I think i already know the answer but i upgraded to dreamweaver mx and have nothing in the display / code split that displays any content. All the display area ha id the table format and the PHP placeholders. It is verry difficult for me to figure out where i can place things and where not to, I am used to selecting the content in design view and modifuing the code if needed that is highlited in the code view. I have been unable to find the "whats new here" text in the header or the index php files as well as the text on the intro page to modify.

 

Also should i expect dreamweaver to "help me out" and stick a bunch of html in the php code distroying it?

 

I would also like to know the difference if any in the duplicate files in admin and include like header and index. I am assuming ( we all know what that means) that the include files are the ones that will ake public display changes.

 

Thanks for your time and effort i really do appreciate the reply's that i get.

PHP is a serverside scripted code. This means you connot open it locally unless you have a webserver. EVen then you won't be able to see the pages in dreamweaver.

 

The texts you might want to change are in your languages folder e.g. english.php in languages and index.php in your languages/english folder) . You'll need to change it in the code.

 

If you want to use dreamweaver to design look at the STS contribution
