I cannot select or edit content within template editable region in DW CS5
The only way I can edit the content is in code view. A real pain. Anyone else have this happening? I have re-checked and re-applied template to page in question and doesn't help. I cannot directly select an image or text in design view. I get the "no can do" icon that appears over template items that are locked. I have strolled through the preferences and don't see anything regarding this. Since upgrading from CS3 to Dreamweaver CS5 mac, I have had nothing but problems. This app is half baked at best.
Wasn't a problem in prior versions of DW.
Would have been in CS4, but not in earlier ones. In those versions, the use of overflow:hidden as a way of setting a new block formatting context to clear internal floats was not supported even though it was a perfectly valid method. You may find that you need to return the overflow:hidden to your styles to properly manage floats within that container. In that case, a double click is all that's needed to temporarily display the entire content of the element.

A better way to edit content within a slideshow widget?
Is there a better way to edit the content of slideshow widgets? I understand the way to see the content of a slideshow and edit it is by viewing thumbnails, but this is a very clunky way to be dealing with a lot of content! It would be super cool to be able to link an entire folder to a slideshow widget and have it update when changes are made in that folder. that way designers could organize their files in finder or bridge and then simply update the slideshow link - i would love that!
I was afraid of that...
I don't use lightroom or Photoshop. I used to be a Photoshop user until the cost became so prohibitive. I have since switched to using GIMP as my eternal editor, it's native files are .xcf (musch like the Photoshop .PSD) but Aperture doesn't support .xcf files and I doubt they ever will since GIMP is a free open source tool, rather than a commercial product.
I have been playing with 3.01 now for a few days and finding that the heal tool and burn and dodge tools seem to be improved. Even though in GIMP they were destructive to the original RAW file those items were noticeably better in the external editor.
Also, any extreme editing still needs to be done outside of Aperture, so I will take a Catapult or just keep my current workflow.... -
When I try and select these buttons, nothing happens. This is a brand new netbook and the first thing I did was download firefox. Is there a way I can correct this?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Client editable content and slide shows
I have used CushyCMS and Slide.com in the past to allow clients to edit their sites. I have learned that slide.com is going to drop the service. Is cushyCMS still the best option for client content editing or is there something new? What is replacing slide.com? ( I am currently CS4 although considering an upgrade.)
I have used WordPress for clients who want blog sites but is it the best choice for editing content within the framework of the Dreamweaver Template?
As you have already used Wordpress, you must know that these packages don't require you to have DW or any other web editors to create, edit and maintain blogs and websites. The packages are self contained in all respect. All you need is some knowledge of CSS/HTML and common sense. Common sense is common with most people these days so this is not a problem .
I suggest select some nice themes for WP (or for Joomla or Drupal) and set it up so that your client can manage it for himself.
Incidentally, WP is not only for blogs; you can create full sized commercial websites as well; all you need is some free themes for your site.
Good luck. -
How do I restrict content provider edit rights to a single region on a page
We have a 2-level security requirement for Portal pages that are accessed by "the general public" - users that do not log into Portal. I'll call this population "The Public".
Top Level Edit Security
Web-masters need to edit all content on any page in any page group.
Sub-Level Edit Security
Content providers need to be restricted to editing HTML content within a single region on all pages within a single page group. They will use the RTE (FCKeditor) to edit the content of the restricted region.
One idea I tried was creating a nav page as a portlet and placing the portlet on the page. This seemed satisfied all the requirements. The drawback is having to create a new nav page for each page created. Since the content and pages are mostly static this does not seem, to me, to be a big deal.
I next tried Item level Security, created a group (publicusers) that included PUBLIC and ContentProvider users and granted "view" to the "publicusers" group . I found that "The Public" can see the entire page, except for the Text Item Type that is under Item Level Security. Only by turning off Item Level Security can "The Public" see Text Item Type. (This action seems to be supported in the documentation as well.)
Any other ideas on how to implement multi-level content security on pages within a page group? There will be at least 18 page groups, each with a unique content provider. The content provider can not edit content outside of their designated page group.
Thx.
--DonI would recommend creating pages for each "chunk" of content that needs specific security. Set the security at the page level.
Then, publish those pages as portlets, and stick those portlets in the regions that need "per group" edit rights. For each portlet, display the Edit link. Users who have rights to edit the portlet's source page will see the edit link, and can edit that content "in place".
Does this help?

After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?
Even simpler than that.
Clicking once in a text box selects it.
Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

Spry tool tip does not work in template or child pages within an editable region. Why not?
Ok. so I am getting pretty frustrated. I take the time to learn how to use CSS and to create a template page for a Contractor Site (www.ContractorInsurance.net). The idea is to create a page that I can use for different classes of Contractors...right?
Then I get all happy about being able to insert ToolTip onto pages to help the user. Great!
LIfe to turn to Sorrow after nearly five hours of searching for a "eeking" answer.
So what good does it do to have an Editable region to update if we cannot have the flexibility to insert a tool tip on child pages? Ok so the fast solution is to what... Have a question mark image, insert another apDiv, name it toolTip_Not and provide it with a show=hide behavior?
RRRRRrrr...
This really sucks not being able to find a solution within a reasonable amount of time.I have tried thank you. However...it is still not working.
www.ContractorInsurance.net/course_of_construction.php
The error message is "Making this change would require code that is locked by a template translator"

If you have a look at the following simple document with a tooltipTooltip trigger goes here.
Tooltip content goes here.
you will notice that a couple of lines have been placed in the HEAD section of the document. When using DW templates, the HEAD section is usually not editable, hence the error mesaage. By default, your template should have an editable region in it just before the closing tag. It looks like this: <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" > <! TemplateEndEditable --> Dreamweaver should be able to find that editable region and insert the
<script> tag there automatically. Because you don't have an editable region like that in the <head>, open the master template, and paste the code above just before the closing </head>

None editable Div tag within a editable Div tag template
I am using a template i created to build a website and the only editable Div is the 'Content'. Using this template i have created a 2nd template for a portfolio page. On my 2nd template i have a Div tag within the 'Content' Div tag with list of all the jobs i have done with hyperlinked to photos. I want this list to be only editable on the template so when i update the 2nd template rest of the files related to this template get updated.
Is it possible to have a none editable Div tag within an editable Div tag?
I hope i have explained this well. Many thanks for your helpThank you for your respond.
I have a main template with just the 'Content' Div Tag editable. Using this template i created anyother template for my portfolio page. Inside the editable Div Tag i have another Div Tag with 2 sets of tables for my portfolio lists. I want this Div tag to be only editable through the 2nd template only as i will have portfolio lists of over 30 pages/links.
I selected the Div Tag with the 2 set of tables and selected 'Add Object to Library'. First message was that the CSS coding will not be copied but errors messages as follows;
'While executing canInspectSelectio in phatfusion slideShow_FAB75CA2.htm, a JavaScript error occurred.'
'While executing canInspectSelectio in Ken Burns Slideshow.htm, a JavaScript error occurred.'
'While executing canInspectSelectio in Shadowbox3b Gallery_2528933A.htm, a JavaScript error occurred.'
Everytime i click inside the Div Tag, i keep getting these messages.
I went to the library and amended the list but only the 2nd template changed, not the related pages linked to the 2nd template.
Is there a place where i can upload my page in this website so you can see it?
Please see below the coding for the 2nd template for my portfolio pages;

I need to allow my customer to edit content on an HTML page within their browser. How can it be done
Hi,
I have a need for my customers to be able to edit content (text and links) within a region of a page in their browser. I read about "Editable Regions" and templates but it appears that our users would need Dw installed.
Is that true?
If so, how do you handle security so only my customer can edit content?
Is there another method I can use in any other of the Creative Cloud apps?
Is there some JavaScript that can be used?
Thanks for your help!

I cannot select an email to delete on my IPhone 5. When I hit edit then check the email i wish to delete it unchecked itself. Help it is driving me crazy. I tried deleting the email account and re-adding it but it didn't work.
Sorry if I confused you. Let me try again:
1) do a full backup your iPhone to a PC using iTunes
2) go to: settings, general, reset, erase all content and settings.erase phone.
3) when iPhone starts again choose set as new phone. Do not restore from icloud or iTunes.
4) once done. Setup your email accounts. When done, verify checked emails do not uncheck themselves.
That resolved, finish setting up:
5) go to: settings, icloud, uncheck email, and set other icons as wished. Now setup icloud account.
6)This step will make all contracts reside in icloud and be available always: Once icloud account is setup, go back to settings, email contacts. Open each email account and uncheck contacts, but leave mail checked. Then go to the icloud email account and check contacts. -
Ipod content is grayed out and I cannot select as source or play on mini
Hi - this just happened and I need to know how to fix. I cannot seem to play any of the music on my ipod mini. I see the songs but the ipod skips right over them. The exception is one song that I downloaded for free. When I log into itunes, I see the ipod and the songs, but they are all grayed out and I cannot select any of them or play from my ipod source. This just happened this week and I wonder if I have somehow removed thelink to the purchased music? I connect the ipod to my other computer and it erased my content (I am new at this) so I reconnected to the orginal and restored my playlist, but nothing will play now. All itunes and ipod are up to date. Can any one help?
Ipod Mini Windows XPGrey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". When you connected your iPod to the second computer you will have been presented with a dialogue box saying you were linked to another computer and asking if you wanted to link to this one. I would guess that you clicked "Yes" instead of "No" which is why your iPod was erased. If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. Managing Your Songs Manually One thing to remember about manually updating though is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
Also, If you usually change your iPod Options by selecting 'View iPod' from the 'Edit' menu in Windows, you may on occasion find it is also greyed out, however if you right click the iPod icon in iTunes you can select 'iPod Options' and change to manual update from there.
For info: iPod 101
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod. -

I just recently updated my MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.2
I also updated my "Pages" when asked to.
Now when a open any of my Pages documents, I cannot select/edit any of the objects/images in those documents.
I have gone through the "Pages" help but still cannot solve the problem.
There used to be a "make background objects selectable" button, but I can no longer find it.
I have tried the "arrange tab" > section masters > make master objects selectable, but nothing happened
Any suggestionsHello Kappy,
I checked out your link and I remember the import box popping up when I upgraded from iWork to Pages a few years ago. My problem is with all files (even documents created with "pages" last week. The documents open fine, I just cannot select/edit the objects/images in the background of my documents. Yes, I have tried going through all of the tab menus and layout options and tried "pages" help.
So my problem is that I cannot open documents and adapt them to my next lesson, etc.
Anyone else have any suggestions? -
Tab across Rows within View/Edit Contents?
I want to enable the "Tab" functionality within the View/Edit Contents inside the Enterprise Manager Console so that I can tab across Rows of data on any Table. How is this set?

OEM has some scroll-bars that you can control until the end if you adapt the screen well.

I am teaching a course in Dreamweaver 2014.1.1
We are setting up templates in fluid grids.
We need to make regions editable.
The LIVE view replaced the DESIGN view and does not have certain options accessible anymore.
I can't find the command to access the dropdown panel to make a region editable.
The Template tab at top, and the make editable options subtab, will not come open in fluid grid template mode.
Does anyone have a way to do this?I was under the impression that the February update (2014.1.1) released a few days ago had fixed these problems. I urge you to file an official bug report below.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
My advice for now is to stay away from Fluid Grid Layouts. But if that's not an option, I'll show you a trick for getting Design View back. Open the Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below. This tricks DW into thinking it's a normal layout.
Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
dw-num-cols-mobile: X 4;
dw-num-cols-tablet: 8;
dw-num-cols-desktop: 12;
dw-gutter-percentage: 25;
=====================================
Once saved, you should see Design View as an option.
