Editing Templates

So I have created a template with one editable region
I have created a new page from template and wish to change the styling in the editable region for the new page but not the main page.
When i create a new css rule it alters the main page as well, what am I doing wrong
thanks
Mark

Most templates have multiple <editable regions>. Think of your Template as a global site structure rather than a single page layout.    For example, you may have multiple <asides> or sidebars on internal pages but none on your home page. Then, as Murray suggests, you can embed page specific styles beneath your site wide CSS file something like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/sitewide.css">
<style>
     /**child page specific styles here**/
     body {background: navy}
     aside {display:none}
</style>

How do I add image upload to web app edit template?

How do I add image upload to web app edit template. When creating fields I am selecting image from the field type. But the only way to upload and image is when I create the web app item within the admin. The option to upload an image is not available when the user submit web form opens.
Wont send any of these questions through this email anymore but really needed assistance.
Thanks,
Gordon

On the Details tab of the Web App setup, under Web App Item Options; have you ticked "Allow File Upload" and specified a Default Upload Folder?

Edit Template in Dynamic Conversion Admin is not working

Latest oracle UCM 10gR3 is installed with patches and Site Studio 1ogR4 on windows XP and it is running fine.
When I click on "Edit Template" button after selecting a template in Oracle Content Server >> Administration >> Dynamic Converter Admin >> Edit template nothing happens and no error message is displayed. Some times a dialog pops up with message "preparing to install template editor..". The first time I clicked on this "Edit Template" button, it has installed "Template Editor 10gR3(10.1.3.4.1) version 9.0.0" successfully and it is there in program files.
I find that Dynamic Conversion is working fine by checking in a word doc and it generates HTML. I tried this on IE6 and IE8 on two different UCM installation by enabling IE to run all ActiveX and Javascript but it did not work on either. I am logged on as admin user.
What could be the issue and how to resolve?

Hi
Check Note.941978.1 to see the possible cause of the issue and also the workaround for the same.
Thanks

Let me first say the DW CC SUCKS!!! Why can't I edit templates in CC that I created in DW CS6?

When I try to edit templates, ANY template, that I created in CS6, I can't. The tool bars are grayed out. The properties panel is grayed out. It acts as though it is in LIVE mode, but it isn't, or not that I can see. I'm trying to edit a link in my footer, but every time I try to place the cursor on the link to select it, the cursor is a pointing finger. I can't select it to edit it, unless I go edit the code. This brings up another question about editing templates. This involves the same link in the previous question. In CS6, I edited this link with the new link to a page. When I SAVE ALL, I get the box asking if I want to update all pages that use the template, I say yes. The code reflects the change, but the link doesn't change in LIVE view or Preview in a Browser. It still tries to load the old page, which I have deleted. This happens in DW CS6 too. I want to use CC because I am paying for it. But I have found it fights me every inch of the way. Luckily I have CS6. But it isn't very good either. Any ideas?

See screenshot: If you can, switch to Design view.
If you can't, you must be using Templates based on Fluid Grid layouts. See link below:

Adjusting Edit template in Web app

Hi All,
Is it possible to adjust the edit template in a web app so that certain users can edit only certain fields?
I am using a web app to submit insurance claims for cell phone repairs, my technicans on my premises should have access to all fields in terms of editing but the insurance administrator company should have restrictions on certain fields that they can edit.
If you look below for example, i would only like the insurance administrators to be able to see in the 'STATUS' field the drop down 'Approved' and nothing else. As well as Item name, Client First Name, Policy number, Claim Number and Quote approved date
Thank you in advance for any assistance provided.

Nothing in BC supports this I am affraid. For someone to edit a webapp they have to become the owner of it and only they will be able to login and edit that web app item in full.

Problem on editing template   .dwt file

I have a problem with dreamweaver template.
When I edit a template in dreamweaver, and apply changes to all the pages , it propogates on all pages and .dwt file also ,
but all the design or layout or graphics of the pages are gone and everything gets messed up.
Why it happens when I am editing a tamplate ?

The problem is your link to CSS file. Template is incorrectly pointing to files on your local hard drive.
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///C|/wamp/www/mm_health_nutr.css" type="text/css" />
The link must point to your site folder like this:
     <link rel="stylesheet" href="../mm_health_nutr.css" type="text/css" />
Edit template. Save & populate changes to your child pages.

How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in Veristand 2011?

How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in veristand 2011?
We are using Veristand 2011.When we run any sequence in stimulus profle editor,we get test results in form of ATML file.
We want to customise the template for this test result generation as per our requirement.
For example:
Test case No.: Description of test case.
Objectives: Explanation of objectives.
Result: Passed/ Failed.
Graph: If any.
Please suggest how to do this.

You cant really change too much in the report, you can customize TRML.xsl which is created every time in the Test Results\UUT 1 folder and that would give you some flexibility on what is shown. I dont know what a xsl is actually able to do in terms of composing data from multiple files (if at all possible) but it definitely allows you to change the visual format of the existing xml data.
Otherwise I modified the xsl to customize the look of the xml report when opened in a browser to have less clutter and some coloring on the Pass/Fail but, the reports are XML files anyway so it's easy to extract data out of them and you can probably write your own report creation tool to compose the report in whatever format you like.

PDF to Editable Template

I need to make a pdf an editable template. The security permissions allow this. How do I do it?

You need Acrobat. Reader can't do it.

Locking editable template regions to Contribute users only

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to lock some editable
template regions to Contribute users only? We need to have these
regions editable through Dreaweaver so our site designers can still
modify them. I'm not talking about the "Optional region" here, just
a "regular" editable region.
Thank you,
Stéphane Brault

there's no option to restrict access to contribute users only
when using Dreamweaver templates.. but a possible dirty workaround
would be to place those editable regions inside dynamic code (ASP,
PHP, JSP, etc..) as Contribute won't be able to interpret them..
they won't be visible in Contribute

'Edit Template' link

Hi
I would really like to hide the 'edit template' link from our administrators when they are in the edit mode of a page. We would like to use one global template and it would be disastrous if it could be changed by our administrators.
Thanks

If you restrict the access privileges on your template to only allow yourself to manage the template then the edit template link will not appear when users with lesser privileges are authenticated.

Can I use an alternate Edit template for a WebApp?

Can I use an alternate (backup) Edit template for a WebApp?

Nope! If it is absolutely essential that you have different editable bits of the web app, then you might want to consider splitting your web app into different apps and linking them together with data source.

Edited template in Dreamweaver, once uploaded...another story!

I purchased a template and began to edit it in Dreamweaver 8. It looked great until I uploaded it. Some of the background doesn't show, as well as certain icons and logos. Everything has been uploaded using Yahoo! Webhosting. I uploaded the layout.css and style.css files and still no go. This is how the website looks now: http://www.gyrlspeedracingteam.com This is how it should look: http://gyrlspeedracingteam.com/25875-b Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Alright, I created a js folder and woo hooo. The other images that were actually there I moved to the images folder...did not have to do that with my previous template, just upload and go. I have to admit that I googled absolute and relative links and I see the difference. I guess I've been "linking" like that for so long, I wouldn't know otherwise. It seems to be something I would do once I get my site nearly completed. Thanks so much to Gary and bregent! I guess I can mark this answered.

I can't make an editable template in dreamweaver CS5 help!

Here is my problem. I insert an editable region, and that works just fine. However, when trying to create a page from this template, I can't edit the CSS. Normally, I click the area of the CSS I want to edit, and go to modify>templates>make attribute editable. When I create a page, nothing is editable. I'm lost.
Here is the code I'm using so far: (I have not added a 'make attribute editable' in this code yet) Thanks!

Can't edit template in dreamweaver

even though I have not set up any non-editable regions.

Sounds like you have some bad code in your template. Can you upload the file to some web space that you control and paste a link to that page here? Failing that, can you paste the code from your template file here (you cannot use the email option to do the latter - you must come to the webforum).

Edit template in Dreamweaver

I have always put <head> part of page in my template, this than makes this part the same on all pages using that template. But I've now been told that the Meta keywords should be match to keywords on individual pages, so how do I now make this part of the template nolonger part of the template? Without having to start from scratch. Sorry bit confusing but can't seem to get my head round it.

You can add an editable region for the Meta tags into your main Template.dwt file.
This is the code on a child page from my Template. Notice where the editable regions are.

Edit Templates With Multiple Languages (want to see all templates)

Hi all,
I have the following problem:
I want to edit this template:
On my old windows pc I can see all three templates (German, English & French) one below the other! Which is important, because I need to edit each one, how ever it is only one file!
Now, with Dreamweaver CC for Mac I can only see the following:
The two anchors indicate the two other languages. I can see the underlying code, yet I can't see the template. Now on my old version of Dreamweaver I would not see the anchors, I would see the same template in English and then in French.
I hope this describes the problem enough to understand and help me.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Gunes,
I answered yesterdey but the answer is going loosed, this morning I tried several times maybe now it will go.
E.g there might be sophomores,seniors etc.Then I have to add these levels to every member department like math sophomore,math senior etc..
That's why I think is better to create another dimension for sophomores,seniors etc. and you memorize the data in the combination of all this dimension (faculty_dep, key figures, etc.) without an huge increase of the combinations.
I already used it.However, I must be able to use property instead.
To do this use a combination of EVPXR, EVSET and EVENE as I wrote before, please see the application help for details
