I've actually seen that mambo extension in use, teaching those who were already tied to using dreamweaver.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>It basically just inserts the <?php print $random_variable_here ?> statements that our *.tpl.php files are littered with.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'd think the folks in the themer-pack group: <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/themer-pack-working-group">http://groups.drupal.org/themer-pack-working-group</a> might be of some assistance sine they have a similar goal (minus the dreamweaver integration).</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I largely agree with Laura (that Dreamweaver is useless), but there is non-trivial learning curve for dealing with phptemplate, and creating a drupal theme. If work towards this extension would flatten that learning curve I think it's a positive step. Needing a button to insert <?php print $primary_links ?> into your template, and knowing that $primary_links even exists are separate issues. I'm much more interested in solving the latter ;)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>blake hall</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><br><div><div>On Aug 7, 2007, at 3:32 PM, Kieran Lal wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/7/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Laura Scott</b> <<a href="mailto:laura@pingv.com">laura@pingv.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div style=""><div><span class="e" id="q_11441ea0c88267c0_1"><div><div><br></div></div></span></div><div>Count me as extremely skeptical that Dreamweaver is anything but a web 1.0 tool (my rant on this: <a href="http://pingv.com/blog/laura/200703/adobes-creative-suite-for-web-1-0" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> http://pingv.com/blog/laura/200703/adobes-creative-suite-for-web-1-0</a> ), but I'm certainly happy to be proven wrong. </div></div></blockquote><div><br>That's a good point.

I started by hand coding in the early '90s before the various web design apps came out, so maybe I'm coming from a different place, but learning CSS fundamentals is not rocket science. I feel the real design happens in the imagination, and photoshop, illustrator, indesign, inkscape, fireworks, etc. All that dreamweaver does is combine the design with some auto-generated mark-up, yes? But if dreamweaver can be leveraged into making decent markup, that could help a lot of people, it seems. </div><div><br></div><div>Is there a proof of concept or proposed architecture for such a project?</div></div></blockquote><div><a href="http://www.mambosolutions.com/dw_tutorial/#dw_extension"><br>http://www.mambosolutions.com/dw_tutorial/#dw_extension </a><br><br>Further up in the thread I alluded to the idea that many people chose Joomla because it had a Dreamweaver extension.
