Installing the Extensions

There are two extensions that can be installed on your server:

Ektroncms400.mxp - Adds ASP.NET extensions

C400_ASP_PHP_CF_JSP.mxp - adds ASP, PHP, CF and JSP extensions

You can have both extensions installed at the same time. The extensions do not affect each other. When you install the second extension, you might receive the following message:

If you see this message or one that say the files are newer, click Yes to All to continue. Overwriting the files will not affect the extensions.

Before you can insert the Ektron CMS400.NET custom functions through Dreamweaver®, you must install at least one of the extensions. Listed below are the steps to install an extension.

 

Note: For additional information about installing an extension, refer to your Dreamweaver® Manual.

To install an extension, follow these steps.

1. Begin by following the path in Dreamweaver:

Commands > Manage Extensions...

2. The Extension Manager is displayed.

3. From this dialog box, follow the path:

File > Install Extension...

4. The Select Extension to Install window opens.

5. Locate the Extension Package (.mxp) file that corresponds to Ektron CMS400.NET. By default, the file gets installed to the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Ektron\CMS400vXX\Utilities

 

Note: In the folder path, vXX represents the version of Ektron CMS400.NET you have installed.

6. After you select the file, click the Install button.

7. The installation begins with the Extension Manager Disclaimer. Click Accept.

8. The extension begins to install. Once installed, you see a confirmation box.

9. Click OK to continue.

10. The Extension Manager is again displayed, but with the added extension.

11. If needed, exit Dreamweaver®, then start it back up.

Now you can use the Ektron CMS400.NET Extension Pack.
