I've just started messing around with extension development and have already made a few simple Objects and Behaviors for internal use at our design firm. I have a limited knowledge on the full possibilities of the dreamweaver DOM such as writing out files or copy a file in a working directory(like a CSS file), etc.

Has anybody messed around with writing out a directory structure in the site manager? For example let's say we start a project and in the root make a folder the name of the client.

<b>company_xyz</b>

We frequently get new projects in on a weekly basis and currently have a set folder structure we’ve set up for each project. For example

<b>company_xyz</b>
|_comps
|_assets
|_imagery
|_audio
|_video
|component1
|component2
|component3
|round1
|round2

I think this gives the basic idea. It's actually a lot more in depth than that. My question is, would this be possible to do in an extension? I'm assuming a Command would be the best option.

Any help or a few tips would be much appreciated thanks!

I have an extension that does this, ill send it to you via email

In the <i>most improbable</i> case that Paul's extension is not what you're looking for, then the core function that will allow you to do that is :

DWfile.createFolder()

This function is documented in the 'Extending Dreamweaver' doc. Just search for this string, and you should find the right file.

in fact it's really easy...

// Get active site root directory
var p13path =dw.getSiteRoot();


// After that you can look UD extending documentaion OR (F1 help) DWfile section you will find info about creating directories etc. (File I/0)
