Changing titles on pages assigned to templates
The title field on pages assigned to templates is grayed out in the code. I have searched help and it says the field is editable on the page after the template is assigned. Not happening. Help said these could be changed from Modify>Page Properties or by typing the title in the field and neither are working. I even went to the default.html and tried to see if something was wrong, but all appeared normal.
Any ideas?
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.

Title of page created from template
When I create a new page from a template, then type in a title at the top, it vanishes as soon as I click anywhere else on the page. How can I correct this?
Do you have an Editable Region for the <title> tag in your main template.dwt file?
Are you seeing this in Code View, Design View or Live View?
Have you saved your child page yet?
Try closing and re-opening your child page. Is the <title> tag appearing correctly in Code View?

How do I change a single page in a template site without detaching it?
I'm using a template for the first time. Please help. The template has an editable content area that is a certain size. At the bottom of the page (below this editable content area) is a footer that is part of the template and is thus non-editable on all pages except for the main template page.
Here is the problem: I want to put a taller image on one page (the image will go in the editable content area) but it is taller than the content area I had set aside in the template. Once I place it there, the footer (which is fixed in the template) is across the lower part of the image.
I don't want to detach the page from the template unless I have to because I want updates to be site-wide. How do I enlarge the content area on that one page so that it will not affect the content area on the other pages and will still, on that one page, move the footer down so it won't be across the image?
I have tried a lot of different things. Thanks for answering here and at this e-mail: [email protected] I appreciate it. RichardWithout seeing your page, this seems less like a template problem and more of a design strategy problem.
You should be building flexible pages that can handle increased content, text-sizes, image sizes, etc...
CSS height property is a restriction in all but IE browsers. Either remove height property from your content areas or consider using a more flexible min-height.
More on min- and max- height & widths --

Hope that helps,

Changing header information in pages made from templates
I am familiar with GoLive and using components for menus to
accomodate universal changes.
I am new to Dreamweaver (CS3). I am using templates for my
menus so I can make universal changes. However, what do I do if I
want to put a form on a page and need to be able to put some code
in the header? I cannot because the header is non-editable on pages
made from templates.
Are templates the only alternative to GoLive Components?

How to change the web page title of a web dynpro app?
Hello,
I would like to change the HTML page title of a web dynpro application without renaming the application component itself - but how?
Thanks for your comments!Hi M Walter,
Assuming you are using Web Dynpro Java, you can change the title of the Web Page for Web Dynpro App by adding the title to the main window of your app.
Go to Windows and open the properties. There will be a field called 'title'. Give the title you want, save, build, DC->Build and deploy.
The title you gave to this Window will be displayed as the title of your Web page.
Regards,

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?
I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.
Adjust inline styles to suit your needs.

Change existing document title in Pages

Hi,
I'm trying to figure how to change the actual page title that is displayed in the top left corner of the Browser
"Home - Report Manager" to something more meaningful to my company, so that when a user bookmark the page it will pickup the title from there.
According to the default Link: /Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ViewMode=List I opened up
Folder.aspx, and all I see is a reference to Folder.aspx.cs, I could not locate this file and I'm not sure if there is where I can change the title.
I can change the Site Title by clicking on the "Site Setting" link but this does not allow the change of the Page Title that is on the top left corner of the browser.
Thanks for your help in advance.Hi Chillette,
In Reporting Services 2008 R2 or later, if we add a bookmark for a folder or report on report manager, the title of the site will display as folder name-Report Manger or report name-Report Manager. In Reporting Services 2008 or earlier, it will display as
Report-Manager only. We can rename the title of the site manually after we add the bookmark.
So in your scenario, you can update the report server to SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 or rename the title of the site manually after we add the bookmark.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
Regards,

Spry accordion works in template, but not pages using that template
So I added a spry accordion to one of my templates and changed the script to default closed. It works great. In the template. But not in any of the pages using that template. Basically I can see the content in the accordion on the page as if there is no accordion at all. And I can see the script and html telling me an accordion should be there. It just isn't. I can see the framework when in edit mode. But in live mode, it's like there's not there but the content.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS6.
Any thoughts?

Suddenly Can't change Title of Photo?
Hi everyone,
I am using iphoto 8 and I have always just clicked below a photo and have been able to change/edit the the tile. I JUST did this a few minutes ago and now, for some reason, I am not able to click on the title below the photo to change anything. How is this possible? Did I accidentally lock or change some function?
I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks.Good luck!

Pages and Child Templates Not Updating
I'm having a problem in Dreamweaver CS5 where pages and child templates are not receiving updates made to the parent template. When I update the template, sometimes some files using that template will update, and some will not. Repeatedly updating the template sometimes forces the changes, but other times it does not.
For instance I was working on a 50 page site earlier, made up of 1 master template with 5 child templates. I made changes to the master template, and it went through the update process, saying all the child templates and files have been updated. However when I open some, not all, files, they are not updated.
I manually went through the entire site and hit 'update page from template', and that seemed to work. I opened a different site with only 1 template, did an update, and it only updated some of the files. I updated the template again, saved, and it then proceeded to update a few more randomly selected files.
This was happening sometimes in CS4, but in CS5 it has become a bigger problem. Please let me know how this can be resolved.
Edit: This is on a freshly reinstalled CS5 with all updates.MarilynWalker wrote:
Murray - Can share your book title with us, please?
Sure. It's Dreamweaver MX Templates by Brad Halstead and myself - ISBN 0-7357-1319-7. I spend quite a bit of time explaining nested templates. Sadly, nowhere do I say you should avoid them. But you should.
There is a master template that controls top level navigation and then five child templates that give different left-side navigation based on which section of the site the user is in. You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
You should see how easy this is to do with server-side includes and a single template file. It's the best of both worlds.
You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
Yep. http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=http://www.homerenergy.com/&ucn_task=conform ance - even if you would leave the nested templates in place, you would sure want to fix those.
The section-specific navigation is very easy to manage either with template conditionals or with server-side includes. You can see this site - http://www.ent-sys.com - where I have done the section navigation on interior pages with template conditionals.
However, your site is small, and simple. Nested templates can work OK in such circumstances. But I have never seen a use of nested templates that couldn't be done more simply with some other approach. -
Templates not uploading all pages using same template.
Hey guys, I'm having difficulties with Dreamweaver at the moment.
Here's the problem:
I've created a template for my current website. This file has .dwt so it's the template.
I've created so far 3 different pages using html and the template.dwt file.
The template has a editable region for the content.
But, I was editing the non editable regions, like the naviagation links and names.
I changed some information on the template file, pressed Ctrl+S then this window popped up:
http://prntscr.com/nd36z
Yes, it works so far according to dream weaver template guides, but I have 2 other pages using the templates which are named index.html and staffinfo.html, which is not showing up there.
After I pressed update: It shows:
http://prntscr.com/nd3cj
I'm wondering what might be the problem there. I had a look at the html code on my other 2 pages that wern't displayed, and at the top it was linked with the template file name which was the same as the "offguides".
Another question i want to ask is, is there a way to update a template without already having to open the files with the templates on? Because at the moment, I have to open all the files with the template on, then save them manually after I saved the template. Because if i have like 1000 different pages using the same templates it would be quite time consuming to keep pressing save and open 1000 different tabs for the pages. So is there like a auto update & save? The two other pages doesn't show up in the pop-up window, but if I open them the templates updates them, but i still have to save manually.
Thanks for reading, hope this can be solved.
James.Jon, ohh, I'd try it, but there is no Page from template: http://prntscr.com/nd7oa

Lost prompt to update pages that use template..
Yes I know I should not use templates but I do on very small sites with under 10 pages. When making adjustments to the templates I used to get a prompt asking me if I want to update pages that use that template, but I no longer get that. I must have changed something but I am wondering how I can change it back. I can manually update but I always forget and I do not wantto go that route....anyone know how I can get that prompt back to update pages that use template? Thanks much!
Well you have suggested SSI's before instead Murray....
No, I've suggested SSI's instead of Library items, or a combination of SSI's and a template instead of nested templates, but I've never suggested using SSI's instead of templates, although it is a workable solution.
I dont think it matters what I have in the code. It used to prompt me whenever I changed ANYTHING and had to save.
I do. However, try this simple test -
1. Create a new, blank HTML file.
2. Save it with FILE | Save as Template... (verify that the page is saved in the "Templates" folder)
3. Spawn a new child page from this template with FILE | New > Page from Template.
4. Save this page with any name you prefer.
5. Return to the template page and change the title from Untitled document to "Whatever". Save it. Are you prompted? You should be.
If you are not prompted then there is something systemically wrong with your DW installation.
