I just bought the extension, thinking I can edit an existing project easier. I pointed the extension to the correct css and js files, but it copied lots of supporting files that are duplicates of the ones I had, just in a different location (for example, i had mine at /css, the new ones are at bootstrap/3/css) I guess I can just ignore that, but it does not recognize the pages i have as having bootstrap. any way around this? Do I have to start the project from scratch with the extension in order to use it?

Hello Kemie,
Is your project based on Boostrap3 or is it based on Bootstrap 2?

Hi, it's Bootstrap3. If it makes any difference I'm compiling my own bootstrap.min.css from the .less files

Please go to - Commands > Bootstrap 3 Options and adjust the settings/browse to the right locations.

Not really working. I specify paths to my bootstrap.css, theme.css and bootstrap.js, and still the panel shows "Open a page using bootstrap"

If the panel info isn't updating and you see this message after you specified the paths to your custom files, this may be caused by a corrupted Dreamweaver cache file. Please clear the cache of your Dreamweaver: www.dmxzone.com/go/16740/clearing-dreamweaver-s-cache/

Hi Kemie,

For the DMXzone Bootstrap 3 extension the bootstrap files really need to be in the /bootstrap/3/css folder of your site. This is used to determine which version of bootstrap are you using.

So please make sure you place your generated files in there and everything will be recognized.

Greetings,
George

That´s really too bad as it means I must change lots of existing pages.
Why let users choose a location if there is only one "right" one?

Thanks for the help

Hi Kemie,

This is because we doesn't want to break any existing bootstrap 2 pages/sites and allow bootstrap 2 pages to work just fine next to bootstrap 3 pages.

So it is a transitional and compatibility thing.

Greetings,
George

This is a late response, however..
If we specify a new location for the bootstrap distribution, should not the extension honor the new path?
Our latest installation allows us to change the options to new paths..
This generates an error, however it appears to accept it..

Assuming the setting are global I would expect if I create a new site, these
changes should be utilized, however..
While the "options" show the new "custom" path, the files are installed into the "default extension path".
