Allow Dreamweaver MX to Open phtml files in Design View
The Zend framework names View files with a .phtml extension by default. E.g. “application/views/scripts/index/index.phtml”
As these files are probably the most likely ones that will be opened in a WYSIWYG editor, it is worth sharing a link to a short step-by-step guide on how to make dreamweaver MX open phtml files in ‘Design View’.
For those using the Zend Framework
If you prefer to use other file extensions for views other than the default .phtml in the Zend framework, you can tell the view renderer which suffix you are using. See how to do this by following the example in the Zend Framework documentation on how to ‘modify settings of the ViewRenderer’ (7.8.4.3. ViewRenderer).
However, many believe that life becomes easier if you stick with conventions as much as possible.
