CakePHP and Eclipse

To set up your version of Eclipse to read either file type, follow these steps:

• Go to Window > Preferences > General > Content types
• In the content types window navigate the tree to text > PHP content type
• Click add
• Enter *.ctp or *.thtml depending on what version of CakePHP you use. It might be best to add both – just in case.
• Now navigate to Editors > File Associations
• Enter *.ctp or *.thtml depending on what version of CakePHP you use.
• Under “Associated Editors:”, select the PHP Editor and click Default.
