Can't manually add editable regions to head in template

When I created my main template in Dreamweaver CS6 for my website, I had copied most of the page code from another layout I already had, including the head code. I did not realize there were already editable regions built into the head section of the Dreamweaver template and deleted them when I pasted my previous code without adding new ones. I then added an editable region to the body and started created pages using the template.
Everything works well and updates properly when I make changes to the template but now that I am trying to add those editable regions back to the head section so I can change the page title (and possibly add more responsive code), it doesn't work. I copied and pasted the following code into my template file in Dreamweaver and it saves in the template telling me it's updating the related pages, but when I open those individual pages in Dreamweaver, the code isn't there and those regions are not editable; only the original editable region I created in the body exists and works properly. Everything else continues to work perfectly.
Here is the code I pasted into the head around the <title> tag:

<title>Collings Document Database</title>

And here is the code I pasted into the head just before the </head> tag:


</head>
Any help would be appreciated. From everything I've read on these forums after searching, it sounds like pasting that code should work but I continue to get the results mentioned. Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I've run the template code through the validator and the following two errors are the only ones that showed up. I don't see how either of these would cause this issue. Thoughts?

Need to add editable regions

How can I add editable regions to an existing template that has hundreds of child pages? There is one editable region for page content (in a box) in the old template, now I want to have 3 different boxes for editable content. When I update all of the pages by saving the template, the existing content (in the original editable reigion) should show up in one editable region, and the new editable regions will show up as empty boxes (until I fill them).

It all depends on how you set-up your original template. Can we see a link to your template or the code from it?

Can't click inside editable region in template based HTML document in CS5

Hi Everyone,
I m having a strange problem in Dreamweaver Cs5. After making the html page based on template, when i am opening the HTML page to edit content in editable region, I couldnot click inside the editable region. I can make changes in code view but not in design view in Dreamweaver Cs5.
Please help if anyone knows the solution. It is really creating a mess for me.
Thanks,
Komal

Because I didn't create the code, rather it was dreamweaver, i believed that DW is obviously broken. Because I have a bunch of sites I made in earlier versions and when I start using a newer versions, CS5, I now can't access the editable region in any of them it seems DW is broken. So, I didn't think the code was necessary. I thought it was something that others have already experienced and resolved. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks though for helping with what appears to be broken. Hopefully it's an easy fix because there's other sites I have that this annoyance is plaguing me...

Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?

Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?
What if you are on a trip and forgot your Ipod. It would be great to be able to add lost data. or even edit the Ipod data on the Nike + website

Hi Hrbrmstr,
That will be very cool if you can create an xml file
that will allow us to add runs and edit runs on the
Nike+ site! The trick may be getting past the server
dragon which sends out a warning saying, "Your
workout data could not be sent to nikeplus.com
because the data could not be accepted by the server"
when it does not like the data it is sent.
For example, my runs that did not post had something
in common: when I read these xml files with TextEdit,
both have a line that says,
"<stepCounts><walkBegin>0</walkBegin>". There's also
a line that tracks steps run. It also said zero. Of
course, these lines should NOT read zero, because I
was not starting at zero steps! My guess is that this
anomaly makes the Nike+ server either reject or
delete these runs because the step count does not fit
my other runs.
Well, I'll leave this stuff to someone who knows more
than I. Glad you're here.
For jackt123, the longer is answer to your question
is that certain things that are not doable now may be
doable in the future. Stay tuned.
I just got the dragon today. "Your workout data could not be sent to Nikeplus because iTunes received an unexpected response from the server. Please try again later." Did you ever find out why this happened to you? I went on nikeplus and it did in fact upload my latest run. Now my goals are blank on nikeplus.

Can't manually add songs/video

So I've read the help file, which says to go to the "Summary" tab and select "Manually manage music and video" or something like that.
The only problem is, no such button or checkbox or anything exists on the Summary tab, or anywhere else that I've been able to find.
Truly, this is why I hate iTunes, and I was reluctant to buy an iPhone because of it. It's ridiculous that all I want to do is a few simple things that are easily done on non-Apple products, but with iTunes, there always seems to be something that makes the process painfully tedious.
So, IS there a way to manually add songs and video?? Or must I put EVERY song and video on my computer on my iPhone, or else none at all?
Message was edited by: ToyMachine

It's great that you've found this forum, and a quick search would have found the answer. Make a playlist, put the songs you want to put on your iphone in the playlist, sync that playlist to your phone. Anytime you want to change what's on your phone, just change what's in the playlist, then sync. Add tunes, remove tunes, whatever you want. It all works through the playlist.
If you find this process so tedious, consider that if you have different devices you might want them to have different tunes on each of them. Playlists accomplish this brilliantly. You can even have several playlists for different kinds of things, and sync multiple lists to your different devices. For example, if you've got some audiobooks, some tunes, some movies, etc., you can make separate lists for each kind, and sync only the lists you want to any of your devices.

Can't Delete Non-Editable Region in Template?

Well, I can in existing templates but if I create a new one from an existing page using "Save as Template", when I try to delete a non-editable region in the template, DW won't let me. I don't know why. Aaaargh!
It's my understanding I should be able to edit anything in a template. I've tried existing DW and restarting. I've tried using other pages as a basis for the template. Every template I create won't let me delete non-editable regions. I'm highlighting the non-editable region and pressing the delete key. I can't delete.

Not sure DW is doing what you describe...
But I am certain you could remove the region in code view.
Even if you are a WYSIWYG-er and not a big code-head, it should be pretty easy to remove the region markers and everything between them...
Trust me, it is. I'm wondering if the problem is associated with the fact that the source page that I saved as a template was based on a template? I just noticed that this new template refers to another template. I'm thinking that means the other template is controlling what I'm trying to do in the current template.
That's it. I just tried saving a template under a different name (still retaining the correct template file extension) but did not do the save as template. Now I can completely edit that template. So you if you save a page that is controled by a template, as a template, that new template is controlled by the previous template.
I've got a headache now.

Optional editable regions in head

I'm trying to create a master template that will enable me to
include or not include cross-fading photographs in pages based on
that template.
I know that with DW8 I can insert an editable region in the
<head> (ie for description, keywords).
I know that with DW8 I can insert an optional region in the
<body> to show/hide content.
But can I insert an optional editable region in the
<head>?
I want to have the option of including a javascript file in a
<script> tag in the <head> of pages created from the
template and if I exercise the option to include it in the
<head>, I also want to be able to edit and change the name of
the javascript file.
All the help I've seen only talks about optional regions in
the <body>.
Do I use optional editable regions for this, or do it some
other way?
Urgent help appreciated - I'm stuck!
DW8 | XHTML | CSS

> But can I insert an optional editable region in the

Not by way of the DW user interface, no.
But if you have a parameter called optionJS, with a type of
URL, and a
default value of "" (i.e., null), you could have this in your
template
document's head -
@@(optionJS==""?'':'<script src="'+optionJS+'"
type="text/javascript"></script>')@@
Then in each child page, as long as you leave the parameter
alone, no script
tag is written to the head. But to get the script tag, you
would just use
MODIFY | Template Properties, select the optionJS parameter,
and browse to
and select the desired script file, and it'll be there....

Add Editable Area to HEAD Tag?

I am working in DW CS 5.5.
My site has a base template and then a nested template for the Work pages.
I'm trying to make the items in the vertical menu bar of the Work page editable attributes. When I select Modify > Template > Make Editable Attribute then set Attribute to class, enter a label name and set type to Text I get this error message:
"There are no editable regions in the HEAD tag to insert the template property tag into. Please add an editable area to the HEAD tag in the base template and try again."
I'm confused because I do have an editable region in the head. What am I doing wrong?

Whoops, I should have included the top code in the base template file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Replacing existing template - need to add editable regions

I've created a new design for my website and created a new template that uses the same editable regions so it will correctly update all of the existing pages based on the old template. How can I add new editable regions to the template? I was told that the editable regions have to matach exactly. Is there a way around this where I can add new ones?

It all depends on how you set-up your original template. Can we see a link to your template or the code from it?

Template editable regions in head

Murray - as you always seem to answer questions on Templates:
I'm troubleshooting a site for a friend who does not frequent
this
forum - they have a couple of editable regions in the
<head> of the
file - used for some Javascript and also the page title.
Now I know that a properly formatted template has:
separate editable region named name="doctitle" - er for the
title and
a second editable region named name="head" for other things.
Does having

in the <head> matter - affect the functionality of Dw
??? - I know of
course that in wouldn't matter as far as the server is
concerned.
many thanks

Thanks Alan - I did think that would be the case - even if
not what I
would do.
No - not 12 editable regions - no idea how that happened - -
they only
have three - two in the head and 1 in the body.
I long ago moved to Dw - and details are hazy - but when I
did a
refresh of a site a couple of years ago - I created a brand
new single
template using File | New | Blank Template - so all
superfluous
nonsense I had generated in the migration from Frontpage was
eradicated - and unexplained program crashes became a thing
of the
past.
thanks again

Templates - editable region in head

I've got code that I would like to make a template, but it's
in the head tag. I cann't make any portion of this an editable
region. Also, any pages generated from the template don't allow me
to edit anything in the head area. So if I want to have only a few
items differ in the head area for several similar pages, does this
mean I cann't use templates? Is there another way to do this?
Maybe I could just use a bunch of server side includes and
abondon templates butr this would inciate to me a serious design
limit in templates.
Here is my code in the head area that I'm trying to use as a
template with an editable region. The margin-right, margin-left
would have unique values for each page. Also the line "a.slidea
{background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}" would be unique
for each page.
Thanks
a.gallery, a.gallery:visited {
display:inline;
color:#000;
text-decoration:none;
border:1px solid #000;
width:75px;
height:75px;
float:left;
position:relative;
cursor:default;
margin-top: 21px;
margin-right: 60px;
margin-bottom: 21px;
margin-left: 60px;
a.slidea {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slideb {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slidec {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slided {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slidee {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slidef {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slideg {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slideh {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slidei {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}
a.slidej {background:url(images/cats/sidney-small.jpg);}

This is the sign of an improperly made template.
Do this -
Create a new page (Basic HTML).
Use FILE | Save as Template....
Look at the code in the head region of the page, particularly
the editable
region around the <title> tag, and the other editable
region in the head
called "head".
Make your template file look like that.
Always use FILE | Save as Template when you create your
templates and you
won't have this problem again.

I can't manually add podcasts to my ipod classic...

I recently updated my itunes to the newest version. Since then, for no apparent reason, I've not been able to manually add podcasts to my ipod (which is an ipod classic 80GB 6th gen). I can sync all podcasts from my itunes but this is extremely inconvenient for me, as I don't have much space on my computer to store all the music podcasts I want to keep. I have checked for updates and scanned my ipod, neither has shown anything up...
PLEASE HELP!!

Presumably, since you were manually managing, you were not using Sync to manage your Podcasts prior to the update. Check the Podcasts pane of the device (when the iPod is connected to iTunes, look on the Podcast pane/tab), you should notice that the *Sync Podcasts* is turned on, which will prevent you from using manually manage. So turn it off.

Can you manually add songs to iCloud if Match doesn't do so?

I subscribed to iTunes Match because I'm a sucker for better quality audio files and there are a handful of files that have a "!" cloud next to them and then others with a "/" cloud next to them.
I know for a fact that a lot of the songs with a "!" cloud are not in the iTunes store, because they're mostly Classical music files that I threw onto my computer.
The songs with a "/" cloud are questionable, though, because a lot of those songs were purchased thru the iTunes store and they're not being recognized -- when I try to re-convert those files to MP3s, there are copyright protections preventing me from doing so.
So what I'm basically asking the community is: Is there a way you can manually add files to iCould that aren't matched thru the Match process?

I don't know if this is an easy fix or not but it seemed to fix for me. I was having difficulty seeing album artwork on my iPhone after I already updated it on iTunes. Once I updated iTunes Match, the album artwork would revert back to the original artwork or no artwork at all. This is what I did to fix that problem, a lot of which is probably unnecessary but whatever:
1. Disable iTunes Match from your mobile device under Settings > Music > iTunes Match
2. Power "Off" your mobile device
3. Open iTunes
4. Turn "Off" iTunes Match on your computer
5. Update your album artwork manually (I suggest finding the album artwork on Google Images or thru Amazon.com).
6. Update any other information necessary (i.e. album name, artist, composer, etc.).
7. Close iTunes entirely
8. Re-Open iTunes
9. Turn "On" iTunes Match on your computer
10. Allow access for your computer to activate iTunes Match
11. Update iTunes Match
12. Power "On" your mobile device
13. Enable iTunes Match from your mobile device under Settings > Music > iTunes Match
14. Your iTunes library should maintain any changes you made and it will be reflected both on iTunes and on your mobile device
If anyone else tries this, let me know if it works for you as well!
