                • Prevent WebMatrix from crashing when the page folder has moved

                  I recently moved my pages folder and now WebMatrix keeps crashing.

                  Please that "do not show this again" on start screen was checked.

                  I just solved the problem by recreating the folder structure (but not the files)

                  Should get fixed - yo!

                            • Freeze Error pressing delete

                              Hi

                              I came across an error while using WebMatrix Beta.

                              I selected the @Request["subject"] part of the following code in a cshtml file and pressed the "delete" key. Then WebMatrix freezed without error message. This happens every time, I tried it 3 times.

                              <p class="brown" onclick="">Betreff @Request["subject"]</p>

                              This line is part of a html tree and not within a code block. Please let me know if you need additional information.

                              Tuelsch

                              • Caching structure of remote web site

                                I find it cumbersome that every time I open a remote website, I need to navigate down its hierarchy from the root directory. It would be a massive time saver boost if the structure of the site is cached!

                                • Change public folder, add *.phtml highlight, rewrite rule creator

                                  Hi! To write their pages I am using Zend Framework. I have several problems with this.

                                  In WebMatrix, you cannot change the folder visible from the outside. Zend has the directory structure:

                                  -Application

                                  -Libraries

                                  -Public

                                  From the outside should have access only to the Public, but in WebMatrix this can not change. When you now enter on this page we see the root directory of the Zend instead of the contents of the folder public.

                                  Another problem is that in the Zend Framework are PHP files with an extension other than PHP for example *. phtml. Came useful to the… more

                                  • It does not support live ajax GET or POST calls to LIVE php pages. Please fix it.

                                    I was working on a file in which I was to get some information echoed from a live php page. Using simple ajax httpRequest I was unable to get that results in webmatrix. It threw an error.

                                    • recognize every folder in my websites folder as a website ?

                                      open folder is not a good option.Suppose you copy five site from backup to current site then it's a good if you can see all site without open every site. It's will show every folder as site

                                          • I thing webmatrix 1 intellisense are common and easy to use in webmatrix 2 it's hard to use c# like intellisnese.

                                            I am missing line-indent feature and intellisense who made in webmatrix 1 and removed from 2nd version. that's very simple then v2.
