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).

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!

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,
Andreana

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.

Where can I find templates for Dreamweaver?

Does Dreamweaver CS6 have predefined templates? If not where can I find templates?

For pre-built CSS layouts in DW, go to File > New > Blank page > HTML > Layouts.
Select one from the right panel & hit Create.
For Commercial CSS Layouts, look at Project Seven's offerings.
http://www.projectseven.com/
To customize the above, add your own text, images, CSS styles and backgrounds.

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.

Can't Edit Template

About a week ago I created a template and have made edits to
it on several occasions. However, while working with the template
today, I suddenly couldn't access any portion of the template that
was not an "editable area". In other words, the template started
acting like an html page that was created from the template. I
double checked to see that it was the dwt file and not an html...it
was the template. Any ideas what happened and how I correct this?
BTW, I'm very new to this and have been using Dreamweaver for
about six weeks.

How Do I Load Up A Flash Template into Dreamweaver?

Can anyone help me load up a website template I purchased from Template monster so I can start editing it through dreamweaver?

Flash files are not viewable by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android or any other web device that doesn't support flash player. In short, Flash is pretty much dead as a web technology. Maybe you can trade to an all HTML & CSS Template that you can edit in Dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver Template: circle with diagonal line in editable region, but can still edit

Since upgrading to Dreamweaver CC 2014, for only one of dozens of clients, in a Template, I get a circle with diagonal line in editable region, but I can still edit it, I just can't click to the spot that I want to edit, I have to navigate there with the up down left and right arrows on my keyboard. And, I created a new Template and it didn't happen, until I "got" a file, and now it happens in the new Template too. What's going on?

Sorry, I'm new here. Do you mean like a screen shot? I just thought maybe somebody had seen this before and would just tell me "you need to uncheck the something or other"

Can you edit a host's provided templates in iWeb?

I am looking at Hostgator to host my simple business site. They have a ton of business site templates, but apparently you need some software (like FrontPage or DreamWeaver)to edit them. Can you edit these templates using iWeb? Are there other hosts with templates that are compatible with iWeb?

Follow this link for iWeb templates:
http://www.ipresentee.com/
If you're lucky they still have [a free template for Christmas|http://www.ipresentee.com/iPresentee/iPresentee-_ChristmasGift.html].
They (Hostgator) have a ton of business site templates
Download the templates you like and use the layout to re-create the page in iWeb. Drop the images on your iWeb canvas and rearrange them.

If I receive a document as a PDF or WORD Doc in an email, can I edit them. As in, if the doc is a template, how do I open it and fill the template in?

Can I edit a document that was sent to me, like a template? I cant seem to figure out how to do this, I am a new MAC user

If you look in App Store you will find Apple's own Pages which can read, edit, and export Microsoft Word compatible .DOC or .DOCX files. There is also another interation of the previously mentioned OpenOffice which is NeoOffice, NeoOffice uses the same open source kernel as OpenOffice, but wraps it in a Cocoa wrapper which provides access to virtually all of OS X's file and data managment features and is one of the fastest office suites avaiable for the Mac.

Can Contribute edit a DW template and allow it to propagate?

I've created a fairly straightforward html/css site in DW CS3
based around a template and have uploaded both the site and
template to the client's web server.
There's a little set of static text on the template which
cross-populates all the html pages. If I edit the template in DW,
it updates all the pages that are based on that template. I'm
hoping that if I set up the client with Contribute, they can access
the template, edit it, and see the changes propagate to all the
html pages that are based on that particular template.
Is this possible? If not, is there a breathtakingly simple
approach I might be able to give the client to use?
Many thanks.

Users of Contribute cannot update templates.
The 'breathtakingly simple approach' could be to use an SSI
(server side include) in your template.
Example php: <?php include("inc.included-file.php"); ?>
You provide your user with an url to the include file, so he
can edit the file in Contribute.
NB: works also great with menu's (make an include file with
just an unordered list, style it with css, and provide your user
with the url to the menu).

IBooks Author - can't edit text on customized template

I've created a template and saved it to My Templates. However, when I select a layout (a chapter or section) and place it into my book, I can't edit the text. Where am I going wrong?

I tried the above but still can't edit text.
I'm inserting a page and then changing it to 2 Column. It is linked to the first page. If the first page has enough text, it overflows into the new page and I can edit it.
However, I want the new page to be stand alone. So I remove the link to the first page. The text disappears. When I double click into either column, I can't add any text to this page. I have to add a text box into the column, which of course isn't going to overflow into column 2.
The strange thing is that I have another page a little further up that is also 2 Column. It is not linked to the first page but I can type text into it. This text will overflow from column 1 into column 2.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

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:
Provide "Design View" for Fluid Grid Webpages

Can you edit muse cc in dreamweaver

Hi
Can you edit Muse CC in Dreamweaver ?

This question is really best on the Dreamweaver or Muse forums but here is the answer I found:
"Muse is not intended to be a code generation hand-off tool for downstream editing. We recommend you do all of your site editing in Muse, rather than exporting the site from Muse and editing the code elsewhere. By staying within Muse, you can continue to use the full functionality of Muse to update your site. As soon as you move to altering the output of Muse, there's no going back (unless you're willing to re-make your changes each time you export from Muse). The HTML code output from Muse is not optimized for manual editing."
Form this forum post: Re: Muse to Dreamweaver?
So while it may be possible it is not recommended.
Hope that helps.
