Remove editable region and propagate?

Hi all,
I have an editable region in a template which I would like to
make uneditable. I can remove it in the template, but the change
does not seem to propagate to the child pages. In other words, the
region is still editable on the child pages after I apply the
changed template. Is there a way to do this or am I outta luck
here?
Thanks!

Removing the editable region markup should certainly render
that region
uneditable in the child pages. Something is preventing that
from happening.
Can you show me the child page after removing the markup and
tell me which
region you are deleting?

How to remove Editable region from nested template?

I'm trying to remove an editable region from a nested
template while retaining it in the parent template. DW doesn't want
to let me do this.
Example:
- I've created an overall template call ALLPAGES.DWT
- In it, there's an editable region called "related links".
- The "related links" will stay the same for all my main
pages (welcome, news, info, etc), so I'd like to create a nested
template called MAINPAGES.DWT where the field is locked.
So here's what I did; I started a new page from ALLPAGES.DWT
and then I created a template MAINPAGES.DWT from it. Now I want to
remove the editable region "related links". According to the DW
manual, I should be able to highlight the region and go to
Modify > Templates > Remove Template Markup, but that
option is greyed out!
Apparenlty the only way of removing the editable region is to
create a smaller editable region within it. But that's unnecessary
and sloppy. How can I remove the region entirely?

I really disagree with this.

I spent quite a bit of time using them, tweaking them,
understanding them,
and watching the problems that others have had here on the
forum. My
compelling conclusion is that there is nothing you can do
with nested
templates that you cannot do more simply and with far less
trouble by using
other methods, some involving other kinds of template
regions, and some
involving simple use of Library items, or better, server-side
includes.

This is not only unkind, it's completely erroneous. Far and
away, I am the
single most enthusiastic proponent for the use of templates
on these boards.
Perhaps a read of my book would help you rid yourself of your
attitude, too.

How to delete editable regions and template?

Hi everybody,
I posted this question earlier in the web discussions area, being unaware of a forum specific to Dreamweaver. Sorry for posting in two different places.
For the past week, I have been learning Dreamweaver CS4 from an online tutorial. I got to the place where I generated a template (index.dwt) from the main page (index.html) and created some editable regions on it. At that point, I realized that I had done all the steps by rote and did not actually absorb what I was doing. I wanted to delete the template in order to repeat the steps and gain a better understanding of the process. When I tried to delete the editable regions (modify-templates-remove editable regions), I was unable to do so because "remove editable regions" was greyed out. Nor was I able to delete the html code. I tried to delete the template itself, but when I did that, the index.html page retained those editable regions! Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get back to the place I was in before creating the template?
Thank you for any assistance.

All you need to do is detach the index.html file from the template. Then you can delete the template and start all over.
Go to the Modify menu --> Templates --> Detach from Template

When i set page as template, set editable regions and try to view in browser IE 9 a download box com

When I set page as template, set editable regions and try to view in browser IE 9 a download box comes up and when i click open it just opens the file again in DW.

Use the Template to spawn a child page. File > New > Page from Template...
Save the child page as some_file.html and then preview that in your browsers.

DWCS3 Template Editable Regions and Editable Attributes?

Using DWCS3 / WIN XP
New to DWCS3 and templates AND CSS but I'm managing I
think....
QUESTION:
is there a way to allow the end user to edit the content of
an editable region and also the attributes of the cell in which the
editable region resides?
SITUATION:
I'm building templates for pages (styled with external CSS)
that will be editable by the end user via Contribute. I've put
editable and repeating regions (imgs and navigation menus) in
particular tds and would like the end user to be able to change the
color of the background of the cells in which the editable regions
reside.....
Of course I get "cannot place an editable region inside an
editable region" .......understandable...i've read more than a few
help/tutorial docs......
So I thought that I should click the tag selector for that td
and Make Attribute Editable.....
That's not working either....I know I'm missing something
because I haven't used DW in years and I'm just not getting some
big picture logic......
EXAMPLE: In the .html page attached for viewing, the upper
left image SRC is in an editable region. I would like the
background color of the cell it is in to be editable as well. Same
goes for the background color of the left navigation menu which
resides in a nested table by the way...........but i still want the
color to be editable.....
Thanks so much for any help you can give....

DW CS3 Remove editable regions

Hi
How does one go about removing an editable region in DW CS3?

Thanks David...it was rather a simple issue but for whatever reason my mind wasn't working and this had me stumped.
I have another template based question on the forum, once I get past this last issue, I think my troubles will be behind me. If you have time, please have a look.
Cheers!
Bob

Editable regions and UL tags

I notice that D8 design view can corrupt the view of a page
element if an editable region is included. I.e.
<div class="leftsideCol">
<ul>
<li class="title">In-Page links</li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
</ul>


<p class="sidebarTitle">?! Notices !?</p>

<div class="sideMssgeBoxCntnr">
<p class="sideMessageTitleBkgrndYel">Subject
Title</p>
<p class="sideMessageBoxText">Put your message here. Be
succinct to avoid overcrowding the sidebar. Here is a <a
href="#">link</a> which can be removed by normal text
delete.</p>
</div>
</div>
The first region statements corrupt the view (remove them and
all displays correctly). This does not affect the final page.
If I try to solve this by putting the region just inside the
UL and /UL tags the design view is good. BUT the resulting page has
an extra UL opening tag. Why is this, it upsets the styling?
Where can I find a definitive set of rules for putting
regions around tags other than <p> which seems to work OK? I
want to make a set of LIs editable and be able to add another LI to
the list.

>I notice that D8 design view can corrupt the view of a

There must be something else going on. Your posted code would
be quite
normal. Why not upload this page and post a link to it so I
can see the
whole picture, please.

The regions must be properly nested. That's about it. In
other words, you
could not have this -
<div>
</div>

> I want to make a set of LIs editable and
> be able to add another LI to the list.
Exactly what you have would do that.

I can't remove Editable Region

I have multiple templates and I cannot remove and editable region...it won't allow me to do so through Modify>Templates>Remove Markup...it will not make that option available to me...Help

You need to make the change in the main template, not in a child page.

Editable regions and flash videos

Okay so im creating a new website and I have already got
stuck with something. The problem is rather annoying, I could first
easily insert flash videos to my website before I turned it into a
template, but I have now turned my pages into a template as im
creating a site with lots of videos on different pages. Thing is, I
have an 'editable region' in the middle section, and because of
that I cannot add videos to either my template file (.DWT) or my
other html files. It says I need to change code in the original
template to continue. Please help and thanks for reading!

> It
> says I need to change code in the original template to

url to the page please??
tip: if inserting into a locked area of the template, if it's
dw 8.03 or
CS3, you need to insert the flash with a site root relative
path, so that
the paths come out right in the child pages.

Editable regions and Flash movie

Hi,
I am trying to insert a flash movie into an editable region
of a child page, but I keep getting the following error: "Making
this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded."
I have read previous posts about the same issue, but none of
them answers my question. I tried creating a new template and a
child from it as a test deleting the css links (like some one
suggested to do) to try to identify the troubled css and I kept
getting the same error in the new pages. I hope someone can help to
identify the issue and the solution. The region where I want to
insert the movie is called "FinalMainContent."
BTW, I do not know how to write code... Sorry!
Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide!

Editable Regions and Templates -- Problem in IE

Hello,
I have a template that I use throughout my site. The template
includes
the Spry Menu Bar and three editable regions. The pages all
look great
in Firefox. But in IE6 and IE7, there is a problem--white
space
vanishes and the text is too close to the objects above it.
Specifically, The <h3>Page
Title</h3>appears to close underneath
<td>. It's fine in
Firefox, however.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
=====================
Here's the code.
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body text="#333333"
vlink="#333333" alink="#333333"
leftmargin="0"
topmargin="0"
marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0">
<TABLE width="800" border=0
align="center" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<TBODY>
<tr>
<td
width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="96%"><img
src="../SpryAssets/mainnav_logo.jpg"
/></td>
<td
width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<h3>Page Title</h3>
</td>

TEST BED:
I shrinked my test site to just 1 photo page with only 3 pictures and I I published it to a folder:
Safari 3.1.1 has no problems
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 has no problems
Opera 9.5 has no problems
IE 7.0.5730.13 cannot render any picture !!!!
DEEP DIVE:
IE fails and if "notifications" are turned on complains about run time error "Error: Access Denied" on line 504 of a script. I went deeper and using the Microsoft Just in Time Debugging features apparently the offending javascript is "iWeb - iWebSite.js" with an ajaxRequest called "req.open('GET',url,true)"
iWEB on LEOPARD is no better
I booted with an external disk using Leopard and I used iWeb just 1 photos page
no way IE still complains (so far I am using Mac Tiger level)
HOW CAN YOU HELP
To those of you who succeeded with iWeb+IE (and have time to lend) I can send the zipped 2MB actual iWeb "package" named "Domain.site2" used by my iWeb to save the site under editing before any publishing.
you temporarily rename your "Domain.site2" + substitute it with my "Domain.site2" + start iWeb and see if you can publish/see it correctly.
Please send me a private mail if you think you can help.
Seriously thinking of dumping iWeb...

Help with Editable Regions and Image Swap

I need some assistance for a project I am working on, and I don't know a short way to describe. Hang with me, here it goes....
I am working with the sites 'Navigation' links. I want to use a MouseOver behavior so that the image swaps when moused over. I want the MousedOver image to remain when you are on that page. I can manually make this happen, but I am running into difficulty because I want the Navigation to be located in an un-editable region so when I add new pages, the entire site will update as I make changes to the template.
I don't know how to create this effect without manually swapping all the images via behaviors on each and every page, and when I need to do these edits, the region needs to be in an UnEditable region so that the template will update all the pages.
I guess the question is, how can I customize images from page to page in an Un-Editable region in a Template driven page?
Thanks.

Image swaps are clumsy for navigation because you have to re-craft your menus every time you edit your site. This gets very old in a hurry.
CSS styled menus are not only easier to maintain in DW they are web friendly for all devices -- especially Smartphones who may have images disabled to save on bandwidth charges.
DW comes with Spry Menus which you can customize with CSS
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html
Additionally, there are some excellent DW extensions you can use to build professional looking CSS menus in seconds.

Remove editable region

I am trying to remove an editable region on a template but
get a dialog box with inconsistent regions problems. I am afraid I
will mess things up if I don't know what to select from the menu.
Anyone know what to do here/?

Removing an editable region from a TEMPLATE page would not
general such.
Are you sure you have properly described what you are doing?

Editable region and more

I would love if an EXPERT could access my desktop and help me...seems i created a site under manage sites but it contains way more than just the single web site.
ASAP would be swell.
Will of course pay for your time!
Thanks!

I don't do computer links for security reasons.
View the screenshots below and compare them with your site's set-up.
Site > Manage Sites > Edit or New >
Local Site: Browse to or type the folder location on your hard drive.
Remote Site: Log-in details & Root Directory as provided by your web host.

Dreamweaver does not allow me to edit the editable region

Oh my, I'm so desperate in this, I have a .dwt and have set up the editable region as well. When I want to make a new html file from the said template dreamweaver does not allow me to edit it. I mean, all the code is completely grayed out as if the template itself is locked by default.
What I want to do is to create several new pages such as new albums, charts, genres, contacts (which all based on the home template) The home template itself has slider in its body. For the new html files I'm about to create (which I'm so desperate why I can't do so) I want the header and footer to remain the same.
Here is an image of my index.dwt (my homepage) anything inside the red frame is what I want to edit for new albums, charts, genres, contacts, login page, etc. The top part is the header and the bottom one is the footer (Excuse the right image, I'm working on dual screen)
Any help will be appreciated!
Sorry for my english

Hello SeptianNugraha,
here some hints concerning while handling templates (I quote):
The main principle of DW Templates is:
Non-editable regions = propagate to all child pages. The content of non-edtable regions is identical on all child pages. When you edit a non-editable region, DW propagates all changes to all child pages.
Editable regions = do not propagate because they're unique to every child page. The whole idea of editable regions is that they contain page specific content which does not appear on any other child page.
And:
PART 1
1. Create a prototype page with all the sitewide elements (common header, footer, sidebar, etc..) that you will need for your entire project. This requires some careful pre-planning even for small web sites.
2. Validate your code & test this prototype page in all major browsers. 3. When you're completely satisfied with your layout, SaveAs Template. DW will save this as a .dwt file in a site folder called Templates.
4. DW will ask you to add Editable Regions for stuff that will change from page to page. Do this and SAVE.
5. Close your Template.dwt file.
PART 2
1. File > New Page > from Template. Select the template you wish to use. Hit OK.
2. This is a child page. You can only edit content within editable regions. Everything else is locked.
3. SaveAs index.html (your home page) to the root in your local site folder.
PART 3
Repeat PART 2 for each additional page required.
PART 4
1. Open your main TEMPLATE file and add a navigation menu with links to your site pages.2. SAVE.3. DW will ask if you want to populate changes to child pages. Hit yes.
4. Publish all site pages to your server.
PART 5
If you should ever need to edit your TEMPLATE .dwt file, Repeat PART 4.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
