Dreamweaver Extension
webyep.mxp
The WebYep Dreamweaver Extension is an extension to Adobe® Dreamweaver® for working with WebYep and can be installed with a simple double click on the extension file, which will launch the Extension Manager – follow it's instructions to install the extension. After installing the extension you will find a new category in Dreamweaver's object palette and a new entry in Dreamweaver's "Help" menu ("WebYep Help").
WebYep System Folder
webyep-system
The webyep-system folder contains the core WebYep program elements that need
to be installed in the web server. Place this folder in the root of your website
and upload it to you webspace. After uploading, the WebYep System needs to be
prepared (setting the access permissions for the data folder).
Please see the "Installation" chapter in the WebYep Documentation for details. You can access that documentation either in Dreamweaver via the "Help" menu (after installing
the WebYep Dreamweaver Extension) or online
at the Objective Development web site.
Alternatively you can use the WebYep Online Installer https://secure.obdev.at/WebYepInstaller/.
Updating the WebYep Dreamweaver Extension
- Uninstall the old extension:
- Quit Dreamweaver
- Launch the Extension Manager
- Select the WebYep extension and click the remove icon
- Install the new extension - see "Installation" above.
Updating the WebYep System Folder
Use your favorite FTP client application to perform the following steps:
- Backup the contents of the data folder located in the webyep-system folder on the web server (= download the files in that folder and save them on your local hard disc).
- Backup the contents of the opt folder located in the webyep-system/program folder, if you have installed additional software like a WYSIWYG editor there.
- Backup the configuration file, config-inc.php located in the webyep-system folder.
- Rename the webyep-system folder on the web server – e.g. rename it to webyep-system-old.
- Install the new webyep-system folder on the web server (upload it to the same location as the old webyep-system folder was installed in).
- Transfer your settings (e.g. username and password) from the backup config-inc.php to the new one (inside the new webyep-system folder).
- Remove the empty data folder from the new webyep-system folder.
- Move the old data folder from the old webyep-system folder into the new one on the server (webyep-system-old/data => webyep-system/data).
- If you have installed additional software like a WYSIWYG editor:
- Remove the empty opt folder from the new webyep-system/program folder.
- Move the old opt folder from the old webyep-system folder into the new one on the server (webyep-system-old/program/opt => webyep-system/program/opt).
- Instead, you can of course do a fresh install of the most recent versions of the software you had installed in the opt folder.
Alternatively you can use the WebYep Online Installer https://secure.obdev.at/WebYepInstaller/ to update the WebYep installation on your web server.
