All links in this td work fine expect for the 'photos and
fun' mouseover link. I've used picasa to generate a photo gallery,
ive used dreamweaver and adobe fireworks via the 'command' (applied
to the code now). I have full permissions for the templates. The
site is barefootdavis.com. My changes are not live but will put out
if necessary. Other links I've created for this maintenance account
work fine. Content changes are also fine. Is this a cs3 issue or
perhaps SWF??? Help ;)

Sorry - I'm not sure what you are asking. How does the photos
and fun link
fail? Why do you suspect that this might be a template issue?

Help! Template linking problem

I have made templates for my client that have worked just
fine for a year. She got a new computer, copied the files from the
old computer to the new computer. Now she has problems with the
templates writing the links to her local directories.
Below is line 51 from my test page from the template -- which
is correct and works fine on the server

This is line 51 from her test page from the same template --
which does not work

I've reloaded the templates to the server, had her delete the
template folder/files on her computer and then download the
template folder again. That didn't help.
I had her check the site definition and the links relative to
document is checked as it should be.
What else could it be? Any ideas?
Please help.

That's the wrong syntax for a virtual include. It would have
to be -

Porting CS3 to CS4 : Links problem

I've read the "porting-guide.pdf" and I'm a bit confused in their "recipe" to convert the code from CS3 to CS4, dealing with the links. Below...is my current PC CS3 code, which basically takes the input of a filename and then proceeds to check ALL the LINKs on the page to see if the item is actually ON the page. Can someone review this...and convert this function so that it will work in CS4. -Thanks...Mark int IsItemOnPage(char *full_filename) { int links=0; int i; int linkcount; char *cptr; char parent_da[512]; int max; int on_page=0; char file_on_page[512]; IDocument* document = Utils<ILayoutUIUtils>()->GetFrontDocument(); // 07/02/07 (CMC) moved this code within if(document != nil) block /*IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(document); ASSERT(database); if(!database) { //1-13-06 //return kFailure; return(on_page); }*/ //11-18-05 if(document != nil) { // 07/02/07 (CMC) moved this code within if(document != nil) block IDataBase* database = ::GetDataBase(document); ASSERT(database); if(!database) { //1-13-06 //return kFailure; return(on_page); } PMString doc_name; document->GetName(doc_name); if(doc_name.IsEmpty()==FALSE) { max=sizeof(parent_da); cptr=&parent_da[0]; doc_name.GetCString(cptr,max); } } else { return(0);//do nothing. } InterfacePtr<ILinksManager> linksmanager(document, IID_ILINKSMANAGER); linkcount = linksmanager->GetLinkCount(); for (i = 0; i < linkcount; i++) { UIDRef uidr(linksmanager->GetNthLinkUID(i)); InterfacePtr<IDataLink> iDataLink(uidr,IID_IDATALINK); if ( iDataLink != NULL ) { PMString formatName; //PMString *ppm; uint32 formatType; NameInfo ni; iDataLink->GetNameInfo(&ni,&formatName,&formatType); PMString* namePtr = ni.GetFilename(); //3-13-06 PMString* fullStringPtr = iDataLink->GetFullName(); if( namePtr ) { //TRACE("linked file name: %s (dirID=%d)\n",namePtr->GrabCString()); if(DEBUG_MODE>0) { sprintf(LOG_FILE_MESG,"IsItemOnPage::File(%d)=%s",links,fullStringPtr->GrabCString()); LogToLogFile(LOG_FILE_MESG); } links++; cptr=&file_on_page[0]; fullStringPtr->GetCString(cptr,sizeof(file_on_page)); //10-11-07 //if(stricmp(file_on_page,full_filename)==0) if(Compare_FilePaths(file_on_page,full_filename)) on_page=1; } } }//EOF...for loop.. return(on_page); }

Dreamweaver template/timeline problem

Hi, someone may have an answer or suggestion to a problem which has occured.
Quite new to DW so forgive my ignorance. I have created a site in DW CS3 using templates. I want to create a piece of animated text in DW, can do it in flash but would prefer to learn DW way. I have used method of creating ap div layer, but have only been able to work this way successfully in blank page. When I insert ap div in template page in editable area. the timeline function remains completely greyed out, it will allow me to insert div however does not allow me to amend/change attributes. Is the ap div/timeline way best way to animate text in DW or has anyone any better suggestion. I’ve uploaded temporary page http://www.design2.ie/test/index.html. Hoping to put 4 pieces of text in right blue panel. Sorry if I’m doing something stupid, appreciate your help.

Hi Kcelsi
I too have found that you cannot create a template in DW and then upload it to BC easily, as you are experiencing, you need to create a blank template in BC first, download it to DW, work on it and re-upload.
Somehow the templates folder in the BC site is not available to add files to in DW as easily as the stylesheets folder. So I download the templates folder from BC in DW.
To create a template for a web site I do the following in
1. In BC back end go to the templates area, and create a blank template.
2. Set up the site in DW, and then download the template folder from BC. You will then have the blank tempate you created in BC on your hard drive and can work on it and re-upload to BC. BC will then see it as a template file and it will be available to apply to pages. Notice that it is a .html file
3. Start a blank template file in DW, and copy the code. The blank BC template you downloaded won't have any of the code you need like the HTML declaration at the top in <head> etc.
4. Copy the tag_pagecontent tag from the BC template you downloaded, and put it into Notepad. (BC won't recognise your file as a template if it does not have this tag)
5. Copy all the code from the blank DW template you just created, and paste it into the code view of your BC template. Save the file, remembering to save as .html like it was in BC.
6. Put the tag_pagecontent tag from Notepad into the part of the template where you want your page content to be. This area is what you can see when editing web pages in BC.
5. Go on creating your template in DW, linking it to the website stylesheet you create. Make sure the site stylesheet is in a folder called Stylesheets.
6. Upload the Stylesheets folder and Templates folder to BC when you are ready.
Hope this makes sense and is helpful!

Template/div problem

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and also to dreamweaver templates.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
Here's my situation: I've established a main.dwt template for
the site banner, navigation, and footer, and other templates for
each of several content areas. These content templates are based on
the main template. The main template has a few editable regions,
but only the "Section Template" region seems to be problematic.
Into the "Section Template" region of the (nested) content
templates, I've inserted html code consisting of a "links" div,
followed by another editable region "Page Content." Then, in the
html files based on these content templates, I insert html into the
"Page Content" region, including two opening divs. The divs close
outside the editable region (in the main template). This seems to
be the problem. Dreamweaver highlights the "Page Content" region
opening and closing tags in yellow, indicating that it is
uneditable. Is there something about div tags needing to close
within an editable region that I'm unaware of? Unfortunately, I
need the footer div to be wrapped in the content div for layout
purposes.
The basic structure of the editable regions on the html file
is shown.
Many thanks for any input.
confused;

This is improperly nested HTML -

<div id="content"><div id="text"> page text goes
here

</div> (end of text div)
The  comment would have to
come AFTER the
closing tag for the content div.

"Link Problem" in Incident Form does not seem to work right? How do I do it correctly?

1. The Link Problem tool in the task pane on our Incidents, do not seem to actually link the Incident to the Problem.
2. I can link the two by going to the Problem and adding it on the related items tab, but this is very time consuming in a call center environment, especially during an outage where we are relying a lot more on Problem and root cause analysis.
3. I have tried creating the incident and applying, then doing the Link Problem tool and selecting the problem, then applying again and selecting OK to close the incident. Again it doesn't work for me.
What am I doing wrong, number one?
Can we do this without manually opening the problem for every incident and attaching from there?
3. Can I build an incident template that will automate the Attachment to the problem at creation? (Tried this today to and it wouldn't work, but then again, the Link Problem might again be the culprit) This would be great for real time saving during
an outage. Once outage is found, I could create the template with all the necessary items filled out, and would like to have it automatically attach to the specific problem I choose at template creation, and that way analysts can simply apply template, and
click OK when they get a call related to the outage.

Thanks for the response Thomas!
The functionality seems to work just fine. I use the LINK PROBLEM and it pops up the problem search box, I search for and select a Problem, I then select it and click ok, and I get no error saying the relationship was not created.
The problem is, when I open the problem after that, there is never any relationship showing in related items there, as it says there should be.
Also, to point out, I am talking about newly created Incidents. I tried even using APPLY prior to doing the LINK PROBLEM but it still did not work. I suspect it may be a workflow problem, where the workflow to create the incident has not completed, there
for the relationship is not completed.... and I get no error.
In my work environment, we have analysts during outages taking a call every 30 seconds, and I need a more efficient way for this system to work. As of now, they spend 1-2 minutes doing the ticket, and that is too long.
I have decided to try a newb way, where I created an Incident (GENERIC OUTAGE) that folks can use, and every 15-30 minutes during an outage, I can open the problem and search for open incidents with that title, and attach all that I find from the problem
side. This is assuming that once attached they will not show up in the search to attach the next time lol. Also this assumes that if attached from the problem, they will auto resolve when the problem is resolved.
I am rusty on my programming, and am currently trying to get refreshed. I am sure that would come in handy for this :)
Oh and lastly, one additional tidbit that will make this clearer, with regard to work flow, we re also running our Service Manager in our help desk, virtualized, as they have not upgraded to Win 7 yet :(. So that compiles my time to add ticket issue :(.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 had encountered a problem V10.0.0.0

Photoshop V10.0.0 will not open. It crashes as its loading the Twain drivers at start up. I am running Windows XP.
I've tried deleting the preferences file, reloading Photoshop and, as a desperate measure, deleting and reloading CS3. Nothing has worked. I tried upgrading photoshop but still no luck. Set my default printer to PDF, still nothing. Disabled my firewall, still nothing.....
The worst bit is its been working quite happily since June 07 and then in late Nov early Dec it decided not to work. I also had a printer problem during this time and reinstalled the printer software, but photoshop wasn't working before I did that.
The error I get is:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close
Error signature App Name: photoshop.exe
AppVer 10.0.0.0
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.4
Any assistance would be great - I am getting desperate!
Regards
Sally

When I uninstalled my Dell 944 printer Photoshop worked. When I reloaded my printer it crashed again. It seems to crash everytime it loads the TWAIN part of the photoshop opening screen.
I've tried downloading and installing the latest driver from Dell for the printer but its 2005 and the same as the one I have so no luck there.
I still need my printer to work (its my scanner as well) but I am desperate to get Photoshop back! Any clues??

InDesign to Adobe Acrobat to Adobe Reader Link problem

Hi - I'm responsible for a long conversation about link problems in creating file links in InDesign that did not work in Acrobat. At the end of that long discussion, I thought I solved the problem, but didn't. Since then, I've been MUCH more observant.
The problem appears to take place in Adobe Reader.
My home computer on Win7 is different than my work Computer (XP), but I have the same software on both.
At work, I discovered that when I clicked on a PDF, it worked fine, that its links opened a new PDF window, but when I clicked on links on the second document, the links failed and Microsoft returned an error message telling me that I was screwed. Because I was screwed, I couldn't see what was in the path of that error.
It turns out that for some unknown reason (which you might clarify for me), my Adobe Readers are attempting to open my documents in Internet Explorer and that just won't work.
What I observed at home is that I made 5 test documents in ID, and ported them to Acrobat. As it turns out, my default for opening PDFs is Adobe Reader, which I saw on the chrome of the first document I opened. When I clicked a link, and I got the error message, I noticed my browser was up.
When I set my default for opening in Acrobat, everything worked like a charm! How about that!
Now then, what that says to me is that Adobe Reader is to be used exclusively with a browser, so if the people who are going to read your internal PDF files with Reader without those files being on a web server of some type, you are totally screwed. The only way you can use Reader is if you click on the file and bring it up directly. Don't rely on linking to other documents.
I mean, that is what it seems to me.
Now, I am creating a big project for an environment without a webserver and obviously my sense of panic is palpable. That said, I believe that all my users can read my files using Acrobat (to be tested tomorrow), which I hope means I can breathe a bit easier.
Do any of you have any thoughts on this subject? If you are really curious, I can make a packet of test files available.

Karen_Little wrote:
The files and the PDFs are all in the same directory.
The tests are on local drives. All indesign files and their related PDFs were in the same directory.
The same for Word and its related PDFs. Note that the PDFs created by Word then read by Adobe Reader worked correctly. They all opened in Adobe Reader.
If the default program for opening PDFs is Acrobat, everything works correctly, with the added benefit of everything opening in a different window, which is what I want (yet to be tested at work). If the default program is Adobe Reader, the second generation of links do NOT work because Reader opens in Internet Explorer.
When I open a Word-created PDF with Acrobat, view the link, and click to the Actions menu, the action is "Open a file"
When I open an InDesign PDF with Acrobat and do the same, the action says "Open a web link"
Big BIG BIG bug.
Are you seeing the link commands by editing them in Acrobat? If not, try, so you can see the exact command and file or URL instruction. It still may be a bug, but you'll have better evidence when you report it here:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
And, you might want to try correcting a link command in Acrobat, to see if can work for both Acrobat and Reader.

Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem...

I have searched the interent for hours trying to resolve this issue.
Everytime I open up DW, i get the error message:
"Adobe DW CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
When i click "send error report" or "Dont send," DW closes.
If I just leave that alone, i can work in DW.
The problem is its also doing it for Adobe Acrobat 8.0.
I am operating on XP.
I have tried to go in and unistall the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I click on "remove" and nothing happens.
I am really frustrated with this. Any help is appreciated.

Does CuteFTP work on it's own when DW is closed?
I too, use CuteFTP in conjunction with DW and have for many years and have never had such a problem.
Are you doing anything specific in Cute FTP when DW crashes?

Re: Fwd: Link Problems With Borland C++ 4.52

I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystal problem.
Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL calling conventions, which
change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls. They
indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
function name in the prototype declarations:
- pascal_far (or something like that)
- WINAPI
- some other typedef of either of the above
For example:
int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms for changing
the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++ wrapper
library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think that the
compiler may generate different symbols depending on calling conventions,
so that's why it fails.
To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate the distribution, go
into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI to the appropriate
places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile to build
the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
External Systems manual.
Hope this helps,
James

Thanks for your quick response. Yesterday we had been running down
the path of examining the calling conventions and trying to change them
to PASCAL, but without much success. After receiving your note, we
went back over it again, and this time we were able to finally to piece it
together. In addition to editing the Forte-generated .cc file to declare
the functions as PASCAL, we also had to turn off the compiler's case
sensitivity. (The Crystal .lib file had the function names in mixed case,
but the Borland compiler was generating all uppercase for the names.)
Now I had actually tried this yesterday and it didn't work (in fact it
generated a whole bunch of new errors) - because until we took a
second look at it today, I didn't realize that Borland's linker actually has
TWO flags that control case sensitivity. If you only turn one or the
other off, things can get pretty ugly looking. As soon as we turned
both of them off, the compile and link went beautifully. Again, thanks
for your help; hopefully we are over the worst of it now!
Dale
I have seen this problem before in another context, and I'll offer the
cause and solution in the hope that they will apply to the Crystalproblem.
>
Many Windows based applications rely on PASCAL callingconventions, which
change the way parameters are handled in function/method calls.They
indicate this by placing one of the following immediately before the
function name in the prototype declarations:
- pascal_far (or something like that)
- WINAPI
- some other typedef of either of the above
For example:
int WINAPI AddTotal(int valueA, int valueB);
Unfortunately, v2.0 of Forte does not provide any mechanisms forchanging
the calling conventions of the prototypes in the generated C++wrapper
library, so when you compile that code, the linker fails. I think thatthe
compiler may generate different symbols depending on callingconventions,
so that's why it fails.
To fix this, don't autocompile your code, but generate thedistribution, go
into the generated C++ files and look for the function prototypes (I think
you can search for FORTE_NO_PROTOTYPES), add WINAPI tothe appropriate
places in the prototype definitions (see above) and use fcompile tobuild
the library. Instructions for fcompile are in the Interfacing With
External Systems manual.
Hope this helps,
James

Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 installation link problems.....HELP !!!!!!

Hi All
During installation of Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Linux, I received the following error:
Error:
Error in invoking target install of makefile
/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/network/lib/ins_oemagent.mk
I did some research and found that it is executing the "relink" script. So I tried to debug it it. Here is the output:
[oracle@redash oracle]$ cd /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin/
[oracle@redash bin]$ relink oemagent
chmod 755 /opt/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/bin

Before installing Oracle 9.2 on linux (i'm using redhat 7.2), there are some steps you have to issue.
Those link problems are related to the wrong version of binutils, you need binutils-2.10.0.18-1.i386.rpm
You need also JDK,to set some kernel parameters and so on..
However follow the steps of this link http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
For me it worked.
Hope this helps

Pro*C linker problems

System is Linux Mandrake 6.0 with Oracle 8i, with the 8i patch
applied.
What a nightmare that install was! Lots of permission problems,
unreadable directories, programs with no execute permission on
them and so on.
I now have a database up and running, and am trying to get Pro*C
working. The code was written on RedHat 5.2 with Oracle 8.0.5,
and worked fine there, so I know it is not a fundamental code
problem!
I have patched the pcscfg.cfg file as detailed in the patch FAQ
(with modifications for the slightly different paths under
Mandrake Linux).
When I compile the Pro*c file, I get many "undefined reference
to 'dbcon'" and "undefined reference to 'ctx'" errors from the
linker. This occurs whether I use a pre-defined list of specific
libraries in my own Makefile, or if I use the standard
demo_proc.mk makefile. I have used nm(1) on every place I can
think of, to try to find the required library/object, but to no
avail.
I appreciate that Oracle have so far only certified Oracle for
Linux against Redhat 6.0, but surely Mandrake can't be THAT
different ;-)
Does anybody have any ideas, known problems etc? I REALLY HOPE
that I don't have to switch to Redhat as the only solution - no
problem with Redhat, it would just require a tedious and
complicated system rebuild, which I don't have the time to do :-(
TIA

OCCI Link Problem

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9.2.0.1.0, Redhat 9, gcc 2.96, glibc 2.3.2-11.9. I continually receive the following link problem:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libclntsh.so, needed by /opt/ora9/product/9.2//lib/libvdc.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

Can anyone assist in resolving this issue?

How to remove .dwt templates from Creative Cloud Business Catalyst site?

Hi,
I've created a site in Dreamweaver using one of my free creative cloud sites. There is a site structure automatically in place that is using the .dwt Dreamweaver templates with editable regions. I've found this is really impairing my workflow and I would like to convert the site to just using regular .html templates without editable regions.
When I try to upload a template file with a .html extension via SFTP I get a permissions error. I haven't found any other way around this either.
Can someone help me convert the site from using .dwt templates to using .html templates without editable regions?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
All files including templates on BC are .html based. IF you have .dwt files on there it is because you did not go through the DW BC tool or extension(older DW) and just uploaded them. Delete them - BC does not use them if you have those on the host.
In terms of just directly uploading you need to ensure two things with templates.
1. The folder locally is EXACTLY the same spelling and capitalisation as the host.
2. The html file template HAS TO HAVE {tag_pagecontent} there to be classed as a template.
I think 2 may be your issue?
