Apply template to entire site?

Is there a way to apply a template to all pages of a site in a single operation? I have over 800 pages converted to HTML from FrameMaker and hope I don't have to apply the template 800+ times--or even find/replace great chunks of code in multiple steps--to accomplish this. All content on every page would be applied to the same editable region. Using GL 8/CS2, Mac OS 10.4.11.
Thanks,
Karen

Success! As it turns out, find-and-replace on large chunks of code--from the template to the page files--took fewer steps and less time than I had imagined (previous search-and-replace on a site of similar content had been very sluggish). The problem was never organization, just application. By simply applying the template to one file the regular way, I could check for errors and locate just where to insert the replacement (template) code. Once complete, GL does recognize the files as belonging to a template.
There is still an annoying glitch wherein GL keeps the path to the template in the extras area. Were I uploading through FTP this would magically disappear; but I drag-and-drop to a mounted staging drive that replicates to live servers. So I must still repair the wayward path at the end of the process. Luckily, maintenance on the publication is exceptionally low and I usually don't have to repeat this task.
Thanks again to all.

Applying templates to entire site in DW 8

I administer a large Intranet and currently all the pages are
attached to a single template.
As part of a rebranding exercise, I have created new
templates for each specific area of the site. I know that I
can’t do a find and replace on the .dwt file in the pages but
how can I apply specific templates to specific folders in the site
without having to open each file individually and apply the
appropriate template manually?
Any advice gratefully received.

Open one of the child pages, and then force a sitewide update

Applying a new template to entire site?

Is there an easy way to apply a new template to the entire
site? I created a new template and I can open each page
individually and click MODIFY/TEMPLATES/APPLY TEMPLATE TO PAGE but
there has to be an easier way to apply the new template to the
entire site without having to open every single page in the
site.

That would be true ONLY on pages that are already child pages
of templates.
Try it on a page that is not a child page, but that has
existing content.
This is what the OP was asking.

Diagonal lines/questionmarks showing up on templates of entire site

I have a huge website and don't want to have to start all over! Please help. On my iWeb, not the published site, I get all of these diagonal lines and question marks in the background. Part of the template is missing (details of stars in the kid blue template) The Web site itself doesn't have the lines, but some pictures are missing and some of the text is messed up. I don't know what to do to fix this. It has been suggested that I just eliminate the domain and start over. I pray that isn't my only option as I have spent many hours on the blog. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks, Marla
This page will give you a clearer picture of what it looks like on the web... with pictures missing and words moved... see the snapshot to see what I see on the iWeb program itself.
http://web.mac.com/nealbfinn/iWeb/Jackson%27s%20Site/My%20Blog/657164BB-A8CD-426 F-A8D3-DF4DD694678A.html
I appreciate any and all help I can get.
THanks,
Marla
here's the screenshot.
http://homepage.mac.com/nealbfinn/Snapshot%202006-07-15%2014-58-45.tiff
The lines show up on all of my pages within the iWeb program. The blog seems to be the most effected with missing pics and moved text in almost all of my blog posts... I have like 30 of them. I want to continue with the blog for my friends and family as we live on the opposite coast. We just bought an iMac and I'd like to work on my site some more, but don't know what I should do. If it is a currupt file, I don't want to bring the domain over to the new computer. I don't want to lose all of my work tho... what to do?
If I insert a new page wiith the same template, kids blue, it does the same thing. If I insert a different template, it doesn't have the lines.
Pleeese help me...

Varkgirl is right!
You have corrupted Kid Blue template, I experienced something bad (not quite like this) when I was writing the templates installer for Suzanne (sboben).
Sorry, I didn't make the connections, but looking at your screen shoot:
http://homepage.mac.com/nealbfinn/Snapshot%202006-07-15%2014-58-45.tiff
and looking at iWeb Kid Blue template:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/kid_blue.jpg
your screen shoot is missing the stars background (the stars on the right hand side):
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/star_tiles.jpg
and the image in the place holder (bottom image):
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/images/place_holder.jpg
My suggestion is, backup your home folder, your Domain.sites, and anything deems valuable, then re-install iWeb.
Varkgirl, you have good intuition; we'll miss you .

Where to start? - writing an extension to apply design-time Stylesheets to entire site

Can anyone tell me what type of extension I need, and point me at the right part of the API for creating an extension for CS5 (/CS5.5) to make design-time stylesheets apply to an entire site please?
Thanks in advance

Paul,
Yes, those documents and books about Extensions for DW8 are
still very
relevant. The only that has changed since then are a few new
APIs.
This is the best Adobe forum for asking questions. Welcome

Apply custom template on a site in programming

Hi;
I search a code in VS (programming) to apply a custom template (WSP) on a SharePoint site empty (black site).
Like in power shell :
$SubWeb = New-SPWeb $SubSiteName -Name $SiteName -UseParentTopNav
$SubWeb.ApplyWebTemplate($SiteTemplate.Name)
Regards;

Here is an example which shows how to create a site collection using a webtemplate:
SPWebApplication webApp = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("http://win2008"));
using (SPSite site = webApp.Sites.Add("/sites/site1", "SharePoint", null, 1033, null, "administrator", "Administrator", "[email protected]"))
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
// Get Solutions Gallery
SPDocumentLibrary solutions = (SPDocumentLibrary)site.GetCatalog(SPListTemplateType.SolutionCatalog);
// Upload Solution File with the Web Template
SPFile solutionFile = solutions.RootFolder.Files.Add("test.wsp", File.ReadAllBytes(@"..\..\test.wsp"));
// Activate Solution
SPUserSolution solution = site.Solutions.Add(solutionFile.Item.ID);
// Activate Features
Guid solutionId = solution.SolutionId;
// Activate Site Collection Features
SPFeatureDefinitionCollection siteFeatures = site.FeatureDefinitions;
var features = from SPFeatureDefinition f
in siteFeatures
where f.SolutionId.Equals(solutionId) && f.Scope == SPFeatureScope.Site
select f;
foreach (SPFeatureDefinition feature in features)
site.Features.Add(feature.Id, false, SPFeatureDefinitionScope.Site);
// Get Web Template
SPWebTemplateCollection webTemplates = site.RootWeb.GetAvailableWebTemplates(1033);
SPWebTemplate webTemplate = (from SPWebTemplate t
in webTemplates
where t.Title == "test"
select t).FirstOrDefault();
if (webTemplate != null)
site.RootWeb.ApplyWebTemplate(webTemplate.Name);
The main thing here is that the site on which a webtemplate is to be applied should be created from a blank template first.

Dreamweaver cannot find, and thus apply, templates after uploading the website to server

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver 8, and my problem is like this:
When the site was first built using Dreamweaver, I created a template, after which I was able to apply it to other existing/new pages by [Modify/Templates/Applying Templates to Page].
However, after uploading all te files to the server, and then downloading them back to my computer, when I tried to apply a template to an existing/new page by [Modify/Templates/Applying templates to Page], Dreamweaver showed that there is "no template" in the entire site - despite the fact that the folder containing the .dwt file was successfully downloaded from the server.
Also worth mentioning is that, for the pages that are already attached to the template before I sent the files to the server, they are working just fine even after I have uploaded them.
I saved the files in the following manner:
>ROOT FOLDER
>>>TEMPLATE FOLDER
>>>>>>template.dwt
>>>indext.html
>>>OTHER PAGES FOLDER
>>>>>>page1.html
>>>>>>page2.html
I also tried to save the template.dwt directly under "ROOT FOLDER", but that didn't work neither.
Is somebody else facing the same problem? Or does anyone know how to solve this issue? It would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Your Files panel (F8) should look like this:
site - YourSiteName (C:\YourSiteName)
     index.html
     -OtherPages
          page1.html
          page2.html
     -Templates
          template.dwt
If your .dwt file is located in any location other than the Templates folder, it won't work.
Templates are not a server-side technology. Templates only work on local files in Dreamweaver.
I suggest you open your template and examine the code to ensure it is valid and that the Editable Regions are properly defined.
http://validator.w3.org/
Then open a child page made from that template to ensure it is pointing to the correct Template.dwt file in your Templates folder.

Apply Template Body unresolved

I have a page that I would like to apply a template to. I sue
the following
steps:
1- open the page
2- modify> templates>apply template to page
3- choose the correct template within the corresponding site
template folder
4- I then get the message of areas being unresolved.
One on the areas is the head content which I set to head the
other is the
problem. It tells me the "body" is unresolved. I can't place
the entire body
of the doc in the one and only editable region, so what is
the problem. Why
is the body coming up as unresolved?
Kim

Yes, I guess your right. I will approach him with this and
see what type of
reaction I get.

Error while creating sites on entire site collection - the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator

Hi,
I am trying to create a new sub site. Everytime I try to create the site I get this error:
the file you are attempting to save or retrieved has been blocked from this web site by server administrator
This applies to almost all site templates except the "blank site" template. I am logged in as System Administrator.

Issue resolved!
Don't know how but somehow, xml was added to the Blocked file types. Removing the entry did the trick.

If this is a new site and a newly created template, you DON'T need to 'apply' the template.
The best way to create new child pages is to :
FILE>New>Page from Template
There will be a list of any templates you've created, select the correct one and press create. Child page created :-)
Save as newpagename.html (not inside the Template folder though !)
PS; as others have pointed out, the link to the background image is incorrect it's pointing to your harddrive. Is the file within the defined site working folder?

Apply Template to existing page problems

I've coinstructed a Dreamweaver Template (dwt) that I want to apply to existing pages in a web site. I have onle two editable regions defined right now, "doctitle" and "propertyinfo". When I try to attach my template to a page, [modify, templates, apply templates to page, select the dwt file, and click select] I get a window named "Inconsistent Regiopn names" which indicates two other editable regions, "document body" and document head". I've tried various combinations to the "move content to a new region" and get bad results in that other areas of my page are replaced.
Is there somethign I have to place in the page to resolve this? I'm very confused by this issue.

You're right on again.
Asking for the "body" and "head" regions threw me off and my tenacity kicked in. I played with that for hours until I came to the conclusion that producing an "empty" page from a DWT, then constructing each page from those was definitely the way to go.
Thank you.

CS3 Synchronization Problems (Entire Site)

The following problems occur when I attempt to synchronize my
entire site (954 files) using DW 8 Windows, DW 8 Mac, or DW CS3
Mac. (If I select a group of files, synchronization always works as
advertised.)
1. If I tell DW to synchronize the entire site (in either
direction) and specify that it should delete files, synchronization
eternally builds a file list. DW doesn't hang; I can cancel out of
it and continue to use DW.
2. If I tell DW to synchronize the entire site (in either
direction) without specifying that it should delete files, DW most
often incorrectly announces that no synchronization is necessary.
Immediately afterwards, if I use the icon on the top left of the
files panel and select
Edit | Select Newer Local or
Edit | Select Newer Remote, DW correctly identifies the
files that have changed. I get the same behavior if I do those two
things in the opposite order. In other words, DW simultaneously
knows and doesn't know which files are newer.
Is there a fix or a workaround?

I dunno. Go into DW8 and EXPORT the site definitions with
their login info.
Import them into CS3.

Apply template to html pages in dreamweaver 2004

How do I apply a template to html pages in dreamweaver 2004?
The template has editable regoins. Will this effect it?
Why do I get an orphan message when I try to apply the
template to new pages?

You don't want to apply templates to pages. Instead use FILE
| New > Page
from Template > site name > template name, spawn a new
page, and use this
page for the content. THis is not really an issue for a brand
new page, but
if the page already has content when you apply the template,
you'll see what
I mean.
You are being confused by a) not understanding root relative
vs document
relative links, and b) not understanding how DW previews
files.
If I have a document with a link to an image that looks like
this -
<img src="/images/foo.gif"...
That's what's called a root relative link.
If I preview that document in DW, then the browser gets the
document, sees
the leading "/" and reads that as the root of the hard drive,
since the
browser has no idea where the root of the site is. Thus, the
image is
broken in the preview.
If I have temp files enabled, then DW will secretly convert
the file being
previewed into a temporary file, and hand that to the
browser. This temp
file has had all root relative links converted to document
relative links
(as you will see by looking at the code in the browser), and
has had all
include files actually embedded in the page, and has had all
external CSS
and js markup embedded in the page. In other words, DW has
made the
document into a stand-alone page.
If you do not have temp files enabled, all of these links
would be broken on
preview.
Now - if you are using root relative links, AND you have temp
files enabled,
AND you click away from the previewed document, then all of
your links will
be broken, since DW has not made that linked file into a temp
file. This is
what you are seeing.
So - if you want to click away on preview, then you must use
document
relative links for the site -
<img src="../images/foo.gif"... (for example)
These will still work on preview since the browser knows how
to determine
the current file's location and how to follow that path.

Spell Check Entire Site

Hi,
Just created over 300 pages in Dreamweaver, and now want to
spell check. Is there a way to spell check the entire site? I can't
seriously believe that the only way to do it is to open each page.
After all if Find and Replace works on all files why doesn't Spell
Check?
What is everyone else doing? Is there an extension I need to
install?
Thanks much
CC

Eh? Are you using DW12? 8)

Unable to open files/apply templates

Overnight, my copy of DVD Studio Pro has become unable to open any existing projects. I attempt to open the project, and the "Loading Project" progress bar goes through *Opening File*, *Loading Assets*, and then completely locks up once *Loading Menus* appears. I initially suspected corrupted project files, but the projects open fine on a second machine (details below). I can create a new file, and even add assets, but if I try to apply an Apple template, the "Applying Template" progress bar appears, and locks up (necessitating a force-quit of the application).
I have trashed preferences (repeatedly), and even gone so far as to reinstall the entire FInal Cut Studio from the discs (from the upgrade discs -- we recently upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2). And it's still happening.
There was a recent Pro Application Support update (4.0.2) and a Final Cut Pro update (6.0.1) -- has anyone heard anything about problems being caused by those updates? My primary machine is a Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5, and the secondary machine I tested is a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon; the above-mentioned updates have not been installed on the second machine.
WIll I have to go back to the original Final Cut Studio 1 discs and reinstall those, and then reinstall the upgrade again? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Okay, so I appear to have found a solution, but I'm baffled as to why it might work. It started with the discovery that if I logged in as a different user, everything seemed to work. So in the end, I trashed my existing user account (After backing up everything, of course) and created a brand new one.
Didn't work. Tried again -- still didn't work.
As bizarre as it sounds to say it, my computer just doesn't like me; or more specifically, it doesn't like my name. I can create a whole new user account with a different name, and everything works. Create one with my name (after deleting the old one, so as not to have duplicate accounts), and I have the same problems.
Can anyone think of why this might be the case?

Apply template to entire site?
