Dreamweaver CS6

Thanks for the extension, great help, but it didn't seem to work fully in Dreamweaver CS6. I installed the plugin successfully but when I started DW it didn't show code highlighting or hinting at all.

I had to edit ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CS6/Configuration/DocumentTypes/MMDocumentTypes.xml - going to line 142 and adding the file extensions scss and less like so;

After I did this and restarted DW the code hinting started working so your extension definitely works, it just didn't add the file extensions to be recognised by DW.

Actually, modifying the MMDocumentTypes.xml file to include other extensions in the CSS documenttype just applies standard CSS code hinting and coloring to the extensions you add. You can do this without the extension. I realize that this is basically what the extension does, but it also adds code hinting, which isn't enabled by modifying the doctype file.

I'm having a similar problem with this extension in CS6. Installing it will force DW to recognize SCSS files, but does not enable code hinting, or coloring. It seems like this extension is just not compatible with CS6. Unfortunately, Adam has said he doesn't have CS6 to test and update the extension.

Perhaps it's a simple issue. Maybe Adam could download the 30-day trial? Either way, thanks go to him for providing the extension in the first place.

@nobleRobot the extension is more than just modding the MMDocumentTypes, as you can see in SASSCodeHints.xml there are numerous entries for compass code hinting (though, it is by no means complete.) Downloading the trial is an idea I will consider and may do when I have some extra time...

Yeah, absolutely. It took me a little while to figure out what you were doing (since I had to go through it manually), but it's clear to me now that there's more to it than what I've seen from other psudo-solutions for integrating SASS/LESS into DW. The code hinting is great work. See my comment in the other CS6 issue

This extension is not compatible with DW CS6. :( Can't open SCSS or SASS files.
