Detach from template: Can I batch several pages?

I have hundreds of pages attached to a couple of templates.
For some reasons, I need to detach them.
I'm not too happy to open them one by one. Are there any way
of batching
the process and getting rid of all template related code in
the docs and
not just e.g. the top line that refers to the templates?
Mac

Hey Mac ;-)
What about a find and replace sitewide??
find: bla bla bla
replace: leave blank
You'd probably need to do this a few times to remove all the
comments.
Of course, do this after you've backed up the site !
Detaching only seems to work on a page by page basis - unless
the Template
guru knows of a better way :)

    Hi Lalita
    Yes you are correct, I TRY THE Modify -> Templates -> Detach from Template.     I have built over 50 websites with this method using Modify -> Templates -> Detach from Template in DW CS5.5
    After a save a page to a template for future ref.
    I create a new page using this temp. but can not use the Modify -> Templates -> Detach from Template. The Detach from Template is not functional. It is there but when I mouse over its not operative.
    Does DW CC need update maybe.
    Thanks

  • Cannot detach from template

    I built a template in DW CS3, (by building a new page, and
    saving as a template) and created a bunch of new pages. I want to
    detach one of the pages from the template. The command is there in
    the menu, but it doesn't seem to work. The grayed out code is still
    there, and the yellow template label in the design window is too.
    Am I doing something wrong, is something broken, or do I not
    understand what should happen when I detach from template?
    Thanks,
    Tommyb

    So I asked for a link to such a page and you gave me a link
    to some other
    page? So, please give me a link to a page that you cannot
    detach from the
    template, then.

    I can't believe it. A Word document doesn't have a doctype.
    Can you send
    me one of these Word documents (forums at
    great-web-sights.com)?

  • In the new version there's no little arrow with back or forward so you can go back several pages in one click. I use that a lot. How can I get it back?

    I've just upgraded Firefox and no longer have little arrows by the back and forward buttons on the toolbar. This means I can only click back or forward one page at a time. I used to be able to click on the arrow, see a list of previous pages and then go back (or forward) several pages with one click. I looked at adding the History button to the tool bar but that's not as convenient.

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
    If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

  • My templates can not find their page in Dreamweaver

    How do I reroute a template so that it can find the pages that were derived from it..
    I have a site that has gotten screwed up somehow and I have to redefine the paths from the templates from to their child pages... the message that
    I get when I make a change to a template and it can't find its child page is the following:
    Error accessing file
    "macintosh_hd:Users:elizabethwallace:Desktop:mtti:mtti:Templates:news.dwt":finel not found (error code -43)
    would someone be kind enough to help... thank you so much.
    Elizabeth

    Before you do any of this, make a backup copy of your site files (not the definition, the folder and files themselves) and preserve them in case anything goes wrong in the process.
    First, make sure your site is properly defined and all contained within a site folder.
    Then make sure the Templates are all in the Templates folder.
    Make sure each page is where you want it to be in your site file structure.
    Go into each Template and correct any paths that need tweaking. If your site has been seriously discombobulated (technical term!), you will want to check and fix every link by the Browse for File method or the Point to Link. DO NOT try to type the paths into the Template yourself manually.
    Open each page in succession, and re-apply the Template that it should be linked to. You do that in Modify > Templates > Apply Template to Page.
    You may have to "assign" copy to editable regions at this step.
    When you finish with each Template, test it by making a minor change to the Template and propagating the change to the child pages. Check the child pages to make sure they are updating when the Template is changed.
    If everything looks good, it is good. Shake your own hand and pat yourself on the back for retrieving a difficult situation.
    If this does not work, post back and we will think about it some more. But it sounds like a reasonable course of action to me.

  • How can I batch convert Page Documents to the Doc format, and keep them in the same folder?

    I have hundreds of Page documents in a folder structure for school that all need to be converted, but remain within the folder structure. Are there any scripts or methods to make this task easier before I go by this one-by-one?

    If you seriously expect an answer you'll need to give more information than the rather vague "can't"s so far.
    What version of Pages on what version of OSX?
    What exactly are the messages you are getting?
    Which scripts have you tried?
    Have you tried Automator and Smart Folders?

  • I use the old version of firefox and have tried the new one BUT on the new one the down arrow next to the forward/back buttons is not there. I need to have this so I can return to several pages ago, please tell me if the new version has this feature

    Old versions have a down arrow next to the front and back buttons to show all the pages you have visiteed and can return to but the new version does not have this feature

    ( Windows) right click the arrows and the listing will appear. The change may well be documented somewhere but if so I do not recall where. Presumably other OS such as Mac's will also have the feature using some other shortcut.
    If this solves your problem please '''log in''' and then click the solved button, the question and answer will then display in search results and should help others.

  • Lost template, have pages from template, how can I convert?

    In a moment of crass stupidity, I managed to delete a template upon which several pages of a site under development are based. There was a P7 menu on the page. Fortunately, I have a couple of pages based on the template alive and well. Can someone tell me how to convert one of these pages back to the template from which it was created?
    Pages from the template are
    http://www.jdcdemo.com/pbc/greater-pine-bluff-chamber-local-apartment-list.html
    http://www.jdcdemo.com/pbc/greater-pine-bluff-chamber-community-calendar.html
    The calendar page is rife with errors of which I am aware. Most are not in the template.
    Can someone tell me how to proceed to recover from my dumb mistake?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Well, we have gotten a lot of looks and no answer. From another board, the first response was the correct one, to wit:
    open a page created from the original (now missing) template
    - go to Modify>Templates>Detach from template.
    - save this via File>Save as template
    - create new editable regions via Insert>Template Objects>Insert  Editable Region
    I took a hard look at the editable region in the file from the template, and set up and named the new editable region as a clone of the original. The pages from the template, worked just fine.

  • Can not create new page from template

    I have been working on a new site for the last couple of
    weeks and have created several pages using a basic template.
    All of the child pages of this template still update when
    changes are made to it, however I can no long create new children
    from this template.
    Any ideas as to what the problem might be.
    THanks

    > This allows me to change any section of the html.
    my guess is that you are opening the .dwt template file and
    doing a "Save
    As". That page is not a "child" page of the template.
    >

    dw menu-->File-->New
    in the new files dialog box, click the Templates tab
    from list in left, click This Site Name
    from list in right, pick This Template
    make sure x is in box to Update if template changes
    click okay
    save file with filename you want to within this local site
    folder.
    add content to within the editable areas

  • In the latest two updates you can only go back one page at a time, previous versions allowed you to jump back several pages by choosing from the twistie - any suggestions?

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

    Hi TGreybeard,
    Have you looked at the [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]] Knowledge Base article? There is some good information in there that should help you resolve the issue.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Can you customize report "page" tabs so they are named automatically from data in the file, and can you add "pages" dynamically?

    I am looking to develop a dynamic report template for our internal reporting use.  Namely, I am looking for the ability to do two things:
    1)  Update the names of the tabs at the bottom of the report template (lets call them the "pages" of the report) from data stored within the file (for instance, label a tab with the "description" property from a given group or channel)
    2)  Add additional tabs with associated graphs based on the number of groups a particular file has (for instance, a particular component could have a test life of 2000 hrs, but have been put through several different tests along the way.  It would be nice to show an overall life summary on the first tab, and then break out the data from the individual tests on seperate tabs with labels specific to that test, such as test #, etc.)
    Any ideas on how this may (or may not) be done?

    Hi SethRow187,
    Let's take this one step at a time, starting with the one REPORT sheet per Data Portal Group request.  This is something that I do all the time, and I have developed lots of standard functions that I can re-use quickly and easily.  DIAdem has the basic functions which enable this, but it takes quite a few commands to get this to work the way you and I want with absolute control.
    In the "Group Sheets General" example I'm attaching below, the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, and then subsequently altered programmatically so that all the Group references in the REPORT objects (graphs, tables, text boxes) are replaced with references to the current Group.  This results in N REPORT sheets where each sheet has explicit references to a particular Group.
    In the "Group Sheets Simple" example I'm attaching below, again the same REPORT layout TDR file is loaded once for each Data Portal Group, but in this case no further change is made to each REPORT sheet after it is loaded.  This results in N REPORT sheets which are absolutely identical in content to each other and which all reference the default Group.  They appear different when refreshed because in each sheet, under its "Settings>>Layout Setup>>Worksheet Parameters" dialog there is a command configured to run each time the sheet is refreshed-- this command uses the current REPORT sheet index to set the corresponding Group to be the default Group.
    In both cases the name of the Group is used for the REPORT sheet, which is convenient in that both Group names and REPORT sheet names are required to be unique, but you could use the Group description or any other property instead as long as you ensure that it has not already been used to name a previous REPORT sheet.
    I also have scripts to concatenate the contents of N Groups into a new Group, located at the top of the Data Portal, and this combined with the below attached applications would give you the lead off overview REPORT sheet you mentioned.

  • Pages Built from Template not working when put

    Hi,
    I am building a site with CS3 and running it to test it on
    onother site in a sub-directory - but, although the pages all work
    as expected when viewed locally, some are totally blank when put on
    the server - when I view the source they only contain;
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
    Transitional//EN">
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
    charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>
    so its not like the page is not there - its just that all the
    content has been skipped. I have tried re-putting, deleteing from
    the server and reputting - all with no success. Several pages,
    built from the same template work great, but just a few are like
    this...
    I have searched the net and forum, but can't find a similar
    problem - any help would be very gratefully received

    OK - I think that I have a system or corruption
    problem - I just tried another full upload and now nothing is
    working... I'm switching to my laptop to see if the old Dell is the
    problem.
