A page from a template doesn't inherit a background image.

I created a template and gave it a background image, tested in the browser, and it worked fine. Then I made a page from that template and it simply didn't show the background image, even though all the other components showed up properly. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Some things to check:
1) Did you define a local site folder in DW before starting your project?
2) When you made a page from the Template, did you use File > New > Page from Template?
3) Is your background image saved for the web as RBG and not CMYK?
4) In your CSS code, what is the path to your background image?

Any way to turn off errors when updating pages from the template?

I'm using Dreamweaver MX. My site is huge. It's an intranet
spanning dozens of departments. Some of those departments have
subsites that don't fall under the intranet's control, although
they are embedded within our site's folder structure. When I make a
change to the template and update pages, every time I hit one of
those subsites I get tons of errors, from "template not found" to
"unmatched body tag". The errors that pop up each have to be
clicked on before the updating can continue. I get hundreds of
these.
Is there any way to make errors not pop up while updating
pages from the template? Or even to exclude certain folders from
being checked? (Cloaking doesn't do it.)

> I'm using Dreamweaver MX. My site is huge.
Both of these are problems, I'm afraid. Combining that with
templates is
really trouble.
> "unmatched body tag".
Errors such as this are definitely caused by errors in your
page itself.
Can you show me a page where you would get this?

Valid code will not produce these errors. Unfortunately, the
only way to
avoid them is to remove any validation hiccups from your
pages.

Updating child pages from a template in CS4

I built a site that uses one template. Everything was going along fine I'd make a change to the template and I was able to update all the child pages. I made changes to the template yesterday and nothing updates. I try using the update the site... I choose the files that use and the one template I have and none of the pages update. I've tries re-saving the template file as a template and still nothing updates.
It has never immediately done an automatic update to the pages. It always seems to be a while before the update these pages pallette comes up. And again sometimes it will update all the pages, but most of the time not.
I've done a search of the discussions to see if I could find a solution, before I posted this. The ones I found do not have a solution that works for me.
So does anyone know what to do?
On a related issue... I usually create a page save the page to the site folder and then apply the template. I have tried to create the page from the template, but the graphic in the background of the container div doesn't show up. I usually have to then apply the template to the newly created page to get that to show up. So what's up with this?
Thank you!
Nina

Try saving the page to the site after creating it, even though the graphic doesn't show up. It should appear when you save it.
Just for drill, here is my "Seven Common Mistakes" post - do any of these cover your situation?
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather thanits *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DW) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you done any of those?

Use pages from other templates...not just the one you chose.

Is there a way to choose a page from another template besides the one I started with. For example if I choose the "School Report" template, but want to also use a page from the "Lesson Plan" template, how can I do this. If you click add new page, it only gives you the initial template pages. I tried opening a new template and copying and pasting the page I wanted, but it does not work.

My guess is that it's because the objects are floating ones.
If you switch them as inline one, you will be able to copy the page, sometimes after inserting section breaks.

Editable regions in templates. How do I edit the CSS in a new page from the template?

I am new to Dreamweaver and Web design. I have made a template and have two editable regions they work fine. When I create a page from this template, I can't edit the CSS. What do I need to do to edit the div tags that are specific to the editable regions? Thank you, I appreciate any help I am just about to give up with templates.

Hi, thank you here is my code. Maybe I am trying to do too much advanced stuff to soon!

HELP with Problem creating a page from a template Suggestions PLS.

Nadia was kind enough to give me step by step in creating a template the right way.
Problem is why won't it work?
1) I create a page exactily like I want the templete to look.
2) I save the child page as a template.
3) I go to FILE>NEW>Page from template, look at the template on the insert on the right and it is just as I would expect it to be. The update is checked on change. I say ok and what appears on screen is I have lost all my formatting. When I look at the code, creating a page from the template causes the process to change the location of (for instance) the background image gif file from ...images/background.gif to the full location name starting the string at the C:/ all the way to ...background.gif. Therefore, the created page from the template loses all of its formatting.
How do I fix this problem????

Okay, here I go again with this problem step by step.
1) Created a basic page that has a header, body and footer: www.goodimage.com and saved it as maintemp.html .
2) I saved maintemp.html in the normal place where all the html are stored because as I was creating the template it told me I needed to save the page I was working on. So I decided to store it as an html until as it was layed out. Then I went to FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE storing it as maintemp.dwt.
3) Then I created an edItable area called BODY.
4) Then I did a FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE or tried to. As part of this process it wants to know if I want to UPDATE LINKS. If I do then the links will reference the template folder (but it is the DW default - hmmm what do I do) When in doubt take the default. So I did.
5) So now I have a nice looking template called maintemp.dwt with one editablel region. So I feel pretty good until I suspect the next problem I have been fighting all along will appear. I select FILE/NEW PAGE FROM TEMPLATE and I see goodimage site, and my template called maintemp and a nice picture of it on the right screen part. Also update page when template changes is checked. Then I select to do the action.
6) Upcomes an unformatted screen caused by the links not being correct. I save the page as index.html to see if it will correct itself. I does not correct itself. So the index.html page is not formatted even after I closed down DW to see if that would help. It didn't. So I could go in and manually update the page but what a mess that would be.
7) So I will go back to create a page from the maintemp.html with the UPDATE LINKS turned off. Using maintemp.html to create a template just like in step 2). When UPDATE LINKS is not selected then the template falls apart and is unusable.
I HAVE WASTE ABOUT THREE DAYS ON THIS ONE PROBLEM AND I HAVE BUT A FEW MORE HOURS TO GET IT DONE. ONCE THIS WORKS IT WILL GO FAST. I AM TIRED OF BEING TIRED BUT MAYBE THAT IS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. ANYWAY, PLEASE HELP AS I AM AT A LOSE.

Layout issues when creating page from valid template

Hi,
I have a built a page from which I have created a template. Both page and template render perfectly in Live and Design view. Both preview in FF, Safari and IE with no problem.
However, when I create a new page from the template, in Design View the page layout is pretty messed up. Lots of divs are wrapping and it appears that a clearing div is being ignored. In Live View, the page created from the template looks perfectly fine.
So to me it appears DW is doing rendering a page created from a template differently. The HTML is valid markup and it is this one edge case that we're fighting right now. DW bug?
To summarize:
- Source page looks good in Live and Design View
- Template created from source looks good in Live and Design View
- A New Page created from Template looks good in Live View, messed up in Design View.
- Source, Template and New Page all render correctly in FF, Safari and IE.
Can anyone suggest a solution or even the next debugging steps?
Regards,
Nobby

Hi there,
I have uploaded the site as-is to a temp location:
http://www.lakemeadowsopen.com/biglever
The homepage is rendering no problem. The template in question can be found at:
http://www.lakemeadowsopen.com/biglever/Templates
and the name of the template is overview.dwt
Thanks.

What black background?
If it is black background in the actual photo:

Copy a master page from one template to another

I hope this isn't an FAQ...
I am writing a document that has several pages of explanitory text, and then two "product pages". I started the text portion with the Reports -> Term Paper template, but it doesn't have anything useful for the product pages.
I would really like to use the cover page from the Newsletters->Informal Newsletter template, but I can't figure out how to insert it into the other document. Can someone help?

Show the thumbnail pane in both documents then select the desired page in the first one's thumbnail pane & use ⌘ C to copy. Now move to the target document & click in the thumbnail pane & use ⌘ V to paste.
Or you could create the page on your own using the template page as a guide.

Page from a Template - Nav Bars Not Coming Across

Have Dreamweaver CS4 on XP
I have a template that has an absolute placed div for the
header box...and just below that a 50 pixel absolute placement div
to hold the navigation bar.
The nav bars have 8 different buttons and several sub menus.
They look fine and work fine on the template and they preview in
firefox fine. In the template the header and the nav bars are not
write enabled...but the AP div for site content is write enabled in
the copy pages.
Here is the WEIRD behavior is CS4. In my first child copy
page of the template...I can NOT see the nav bar...but if I upload
it to the server and look at it there...the nav bar is visible. The
nav bar has 2 java scripts that have to be loaded in the root...and
they are there.
In the second page I made...the nav bar is NOT visible, it
does not preview, and it does not show up when I call it from the
server.
Whats UP with Dreamweaver or Me? I have had soo much funky
behavior with templates and resulting pages.
Can someone help figure this out with me. Some post talked
about making the z value of the nav bar be 1100 or 1300 because of
some IE problem...so I did that trying to avoid problems with the z
value being off.
Thanks for your help
Suzzie

Post a link to the page, please.

Photo gallery page from iWeb '08 doesn't work for Mac OS X 10.3.9 user?

I have recently published a photo gallery page with comments on using iWeb '08 (latest update). Displays fine for me and apparently a lot of other mixed-platform users. But one user is saying that his eMac with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and the Safari of the day don't display the pictures. He gets the banner and background image for the gallery, but not the actual pictures. I asked him to try Firefox, but so far no reply on that.
Do the older versions of Safari work with content from iWeb '08?

The only thing missing when viewed using older browsers is those features that require newer Web browser software.
It was no different when AOL went from version 3 to version 4.
The very complex javascript files written by iWeb 2 still allow older browsers view (limited features) view the basic parts of your pages.
Unfortunately this is not true. On an iMac G4 10.3.9 using Safari you cannot even view the photos, the photo page or even the web gallery itself. You just get a warning. Had I known that my friends and family would have a problem viewing photos I would have passed on the update. I don't expect my Father to upgrade his system to view photos from the "user friendly" Apple programs. That's why we got him an iMac to begin with. I find iLife 08 a very poor release from Apple and more trouble than it is worth.
It was no different when AOL went from version 3 to version 4.
I didn't know AOL even still existed, that alone upgraded!? (haha)
+The images should load but many of the Web 2.0 features will not work (image rollover viewing, changing dimensions or background colors).+
But Kirk, they don't, none of them! and this kind of stuff just seems crazy to some of us. I wish that Apple would TELL US or advertise the facts like, Oh, you only get ONE gallery for each user on Web Gallery (useless) and Oh, you will not be able to edit 06 iWeb pages with 08 iWeb and the iLife 08 version of iPhoto you will not be able to view these galleries without upgrading to the latest Safari web browser. Yes we always expect some bugs with a major update but this is getting ridiculous.
I have not yet had anybody try downloading the newest version of Firefox that will work with 10.3.9. Do you know if that will make a difference? Thanks for your help.

How do I save pages from my website in PDF, and prove the image was capture on a given date?

How do I save pages from my website, [link removed] into a PDF file, with proof of the date the pdf file was created on? I need to display the content of each unique url of my site in PDF format for compliance purposes, and prove the image was taken from a given date. Anyone can help that would be great.

Impossible to do with Reader. If you own Acrobat and use Create PDF from Webpage. The document will have a creation date. If you then sign the pdf on the date of creation, you have proof of when the document was created and proof that the document wasn’t altered since signed.

ERROR message: How do I create a New Web page from a template?

The following ERROR MESSAGE appears, after I click the
"Create" button on the "New from Template" dialogue box. . .
quote:
MACROMEDIA DREAMWEAVER DIALOGUE BOX READS:
< ! > There is an error at line 72, column 8 (absolute
position 3287) of "my Website": Unbalanced Head tag
What
should happen is that the new page opens in the Document
window, according to the Dreamweaver 8 text, Pg. 498.
If anyone can help me troubleshoot this, I would greatly
appreciate it.
Respectfully, Ona

Adding a page from custom Templates in Pages 5

I know a lot of features have been removed, but this HAS to be my own operator error.
Currently using Pages 5.1 on all of my macs 10.9.2
I build multi page templates in pages. For example: a cover page, a storyboard page, a notes page, looks page and an end page.
I used to save a custom template that consisted of a layout for each page, then, under 'sections' I could add multiples of any page.
I usually need mroe than one storyboard page, multiple notes pages, and could easily do this.
I cannot figure out how to add additional preconfigured pages as I need them.
I know I can no longer duplicate a page (workaround is grouping everythin on a page, copy and paste to a blank page... seriously)
And the only thing I can figure is to make a new template with 40 of each custom page layout, so I have multiple custom
I have to be missing the new method to do this.
thank you in advance.

Gone.
Removed by Apple along with 100 other fetaures.
Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Use that instead.
Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store if you are unhappy.

Background image path changes in Template

I have a template I've created, but whenever I attempt to
create a new page from that template the path to the background
image changes automatically causing it to disappear.
The template displays this path:
body {
background-image: url(../img/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center;
background-color: #E8F1FA;
While the page created from the template shows this path:
body {
background-image: url(file:///B|/Web
Development/website/img/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center;
background-color: #E8F1FA;
What is causing this? Thanks in advance.

A page from a template doesn't inherit a background image.
