For Configure/Opening CakePHP CTP Files in Dreamweaver 3 files that you need to edit:-
C:\Program Files\(Adobe or Macromedia)\(Adobe )Dreamweaver(version like 8 or cs3)\configuration
Open up “Extensions.txt” and on the first line at the very end add THTML and CTP separated by commas, so the line should read:
- ,MASTER,THTML,CTP:All Documents
Similarly add these two extensions to the “:PHP Files” line.
- PHP,PHP3,PHP4,PHP5,TPL,THTML,CTP:PHP Files
Next open the “DocumentTypes” folder and edit the “MMDocumentTypes.xml” file, just open it up using notepad or wordpad. Search for the line which has an id “PHP_MySQL” and add the THTML/CTP file extensions to both the “winfileextension” and “macfileextension” so the line should read:
- winfileextension=“php,php3,php4,php5,thtml,ctp”
- macfileextension=“php,php3,php4,php5,thtml,ctp”
The final file is another version of the “Extensions.txt” which is located in your “Documents and Settings” Folder in my case this is “C:\Documents and Settings\(User_Name)\Application Data\(Adobe or Macromedia)\(Adobe )Dreamweaver(version like 8 or cs3)\configuration” just add the very same things you inserted earlier in “Extensions.txt” .

Hell,
This is really good tutorial.
Actually initially I have changed Extension.txt and MMDocumentTypes.xml file only in Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver8\configuration directory which allows me to open a ctp and thtml files as a php files in Dreamweaver editor
But if I have to search something it never search the content in file having extensions ctp or thtml when searching with folder option. Now I have changed the Extension file at C:\Documents and Settings\kiranb\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver8\configuration it worked well and now I can search content from these files as well
This is wonderful tutorial and helped me a lot. Thank you very much
