you're making me chortle Charlie! Congratulations.. You are right. It IS my day... It is watch Robert go down the wrong trail day. Here is all I know, and for some of you it may be old news but I want to give a 100% regroup and bring it back to high level view. I use AbleCommerce. It uses CF. (and other things I am finding out) Able developers revise code, fix bugs and of course release new versions. Able does not and will not ever do everything I want it to do. It does most but not all. I like able. I can not afford the time or funding to make a custom app from scratch. So I pretty much see the solution as using Able as a dev platform to build an intranet app for the business. Then to add or merge an intranet into able to the point that eventually able is more a part of the intranet than the intranet is a part of able. With this in mind I am aware of the fact that I will develop and they will develop going in different directions. To manage this I have decided that Tortoise Subversion seems to be the way to manage this code development between both code sets while staying synchronized. I also need an IDE. I have chosed Dreamweaver8 at this time, along with notepad++, navicat, mysql, and others so far and am just trying to get my complete environment all hooked together before I start flipping switches and either making or breaking code what ever the case may end up being. However along the way bits and pieces of questions present themselves for my unique need and well I have to tackle them one by one. In trying to set up the RDS last night and this AM I stumbled onto WebDAV, and see that it is something of a buzzword that I have seen so far. So since it was in there, I am considering that maybe DW needs to integrate with Tortoise as well. Charlie, I really dont know what I need yet. It seems I plug something in, and it either works for me, breaks something or lacks something which raises another question which as you ALL have noticed keeps me asking questions. Figuratively speaking it is like I bought a bunch of office furniture and I have put it together, but the wires for the different accessories are too short, wrong color, wrong interface etc (you all have been there) then get out the pencils, pens, post its, set the chair height etc. Then one day You sit down to use it and say WHEW!! Finally! DEEP BREATH! Now lets get started. This last point is where I feel very close to in some ways, and in some ways (subversion/tortoise) Im just opening the box. So bear with me please.... <CFFROWN> Im struggling through this every day.... I know it is not really what you asked but felt that many of you that are somewhat following this adventure of mine didnt really totally understand what I was up against clearly. So again that was for you. So ALL OF YOU!!! Slap me around! Call me silly! Tell me why, laugh at me... I dont care... Input is a GOOD THING! ANY INPUT! ITS ALL GOOD!! <CFSMILE> Thanks for listening and I hope my conveluted answer/story has given an answer to Charlies question...

Besides the security warnings from Dean, I'm just not seeing the connection between your challenge and using WebDAV. And what's made you connect it with SVN? Is it that perhaps Tortoise has a WebDAV connection? The fact that that client has one wouldn't have anything to do with DW, which is in effect another client to your server. You're not trying to use Tortoise in conjunction with DW, are you? Just seems you may be heading down a rabbit trail.....oh, silly me. I forgot what day it was. :-) /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ <http://www.carehart.org/blog/> _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Reil Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 9:19 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] WebDAV, Tortoise SubVersion, DWMX8, and CFMX7 In working with my DataConnection problems in RDS I have stumbled across this option for Site Configuration WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) if you connect to your web server using the WebDAV protocol: Since I have to also implement Tortoise Subversion into my grand scheme of things and wonder if this is the way I should be starting to do things? Anyone used Tortoise, and WebDAV w DW yet? Any great inspirations? phobias? Robert P.
