Spry

Use the Spry Updater extension

  1. Open a site that includes Spry assets that you want to update.

    For example, if you used Dreamweaver to place Spry widgets on a page, and you want to update the corresponding Spry framework files from Spry 1.4 to Spry 1.6, open the site that includes those pages.

  2. Select Site > Spry Updater.
    Note: You do not need to have a page open to run the update. Keep in mind that the Spry Updater always updates selected sites, not pages. For example, if you have My Spry Site selected in the Files panel, but have a Spry page from some other site open in the document window, the Spry Updater will update the assets for My Spry Site, and not for the site that corresponds to the open page.
  3. In the Spry Updater dialog box, verify that the Spry assets you want to update are selected and click the Update button.

    • Installed Version indicates the version of Spry that the Spry Updater has installed in your Dreamweaver configuration files. When you install the Spry Updater from Adobe Labs, this is the most recent version of Spry.

    • Site Version indicates the version of Spry used by the current site (i.e. the version of Spry used to create the JavaScript and CSS files in the folder where you’re saving Spry Assets).

    The Spry Updater automatically selects assets that are using an outdated version of Spry. You can click the Check all button to select all Spry assets. When all assets are selected this option changes to Uncheck all assets.

Before the update begins, Dreamweaver adds a backed-up version of your previous Spry assets to your site. The back-up directory is in the same location as the SpryAssets folder (normally the root directory), and is called SpryAssets_backup_currentDate_uniqueID.

Note: If you’ve saved Spry assets to another folder, or changed the name of the default SpryAssets folder, Dreamweaver makes a back-up copy of that folder.

The update occurs on your local site only, and updates the selected items with the installed version of Spry. Don’t forget to upload the updated Spry CSS and JavaScript files in the SpryAssets folder to your website.
