Dreamweaver "master pages"?

Does Dreamweaver support "master pages" similar to the "master pages" used in Flash/WIX web sites? The "master pages" on WIX ensure that not all content linked to the page loads when you pull up the master page. The associated pages only load when you click on them. My sister is a photographer currently using WIX, and she wants her web site to load as fast as it can. Any replies/suggestions will be much appreciated!

Yeah, they use Visual Studio.NET in IT to do the programming
of the site template, and then we've always used Dreamweaver to
edit the static content in each page.
When you open up a 2.0 .aspx page in DW CS3, it shows the
content that's inside the <asp:Content> tags, so they are
editable. (In DW 8, the same <asp:Content> get completely
ignored, so CS3 did bring with it some new .NET 2.0 compatibility.)
When I said 'compile', I know that Dreamweaver doesn't do it
itself, but it requests the server to put the page together and
send it back, so that in Design view you can see the programmed
portions of the page. It works like this with our current .NET 1.1
template. It seems like it would work the same way with the 2.0
pages--as it is, Dreamweaver
is successfully telling the server to process the page, but
then DW is interrupting that process. I'm wondering what would
happen if that interruption (the "MMDW:success" comment) could be
removed. We did a Google search, but came up with nothing relevant.
We're using the Design View (and the "Live Data" feature)
because we deal with pages that have a lot of bilingual text, which
is harder to edit and format in Code view. (Plus my
co-worker/supervisor is a WYSIWYG person.) We wouldn't be using DW
to program in .NET. Our programmers seem to think Master pages are
the new hip thing (they're already using them in their own portions
of our web site), so we're trying to figure out how that is going
to affect us Dreamweaver users.
Thanks,

  • "Master" page/template on Dreamweaver

    Is there a way to create a "master page" on Dreamweaver as you would on Indesign?  I have multiple pages with the same headder containing picture and text elements, but I plan to periodically change the headder elements on all pages.  Is there a way to create a template such that when I change picture and text elements on the template these changes will apply to all pages of my site?

    You can I am sure, use a template for what you want to do although, I have never done so.
    I thought that I might just let you know about server side includes.  What happens with these is that you can separate individual components of your page into their own files and then call each part into your page.  So you can develop a page, then cut n' paste the header into a separate file and call it in the page with a small piece of code:
    <?php include("header.html"); ?>
    You can have as many pages as you like with the same header and all you need to do is add that bit of code (if you're using PHP) to those pages.  When you want to edit the header, you find the header file and chip away at it.
    You could have a SSI file for your header, footer and sidebar if you like or all comon components of your site.  There are a few things you need to watch out for but if you google it you will find heaps of information on how to do it.

  • Is there a "master page" in contribute?

    I created a website in a basic software program, and now edit/manage it using Adobe Contribute. I want to update the side bar table with all the links for the site, and this obviously needs to take affect on ALL pages; not just one. Is there a "master page" that I can edit particular items that are on all pages at once or do I have to edit every single page individually?

    Contribute by itself has no such "master page", you'll have to make this change manually page by page for every page affected. If you use Contribute in combination with Dreamweaver, you could set up a master page - or in Dreamweaver terminology a ".dwt template" to make this possible. The actual change of the template, however, would still have to be done in Dreamweaver and not Contribute.

  • How to upload only Master Page changes to server

    Hi guys
    I've been working on a massive website. It started out as a small brochure style website, but has now grown to a multitude of subpages and categories, etc. I exported the Muse site to html and started working in Dreamweaver, creating all the extra subpages, etc.
    The client has now made changes which has to be done on my master page in Muse. I have done these, exported the site to a new location, and thought it will be as simple as uploading the CSS for the master page to the server to see the changes. It's not working.
    Any ideas on how to upload only the changes I made to the master page to the web server?
    Thanks

    Actually, Muse master pages and BC templates and fundamentally different in some key ways. While you can create a BC template using Muse, a Muse master page is not uploaded as a BC template.
    svendextro, as Brad stated, once you edit outside of Muse you give up the ability to further edit within Muse. The content and settings on a master page are part of the code generated for each page. There is no independent master page in the generated code that could be modified in the way you're expecting.

  • Using Expression Web for editing master pages

    I have SP Foundation 2013 and I am trying to edit a master page in Expression web since SP Designer no longer has design view. Reading the documentation it says that any HTML tools such as dreamweaver, Expression Web etc can be used.
    I have mapped a drive to the Master Page Gallery and made a copy of the master page I am trying to edit.
    When I open it up in Expression Web I get the following error:
    Error creating Control - SPHtmlTag
    Unknown Server Tag Sharepoint:SPHtmlTag
    Can anyone help? I'm by far no web developer or Sharepoint Developer and I just want to make some simple changes to the master page such as adding a footer with some links/images etc so it displays on all pages within the site, which is just a basic intranet
    site for a small company.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    you use HTML tools such as dreamweaver to desgin the .html file associated with the .master file:

  • Text Flow from master pages -- please help!

    I'm so frustrated. For years I used Quark without a hitch. Haven't done DTP in years (but use DreamWeaver (after GoLive died ) and Illustrator) but need to typeset my book in InDesign and cannot get the most basic things down. Please have pity!
    I created a master page (facing pages) where each side has a rectangle frame tool. When I went to a document page I could not put any text in that frame, but finally found out that you hold down command-shift and click in the frame to "unlock" it or make it accessible when outside of the master page edit area. (Sheesh -- is that remotely intuitive???)
    Now that I'm able to get the test in the frame on a real page, I can't get it to FLOW from one page to another.
    Basically, I have an entire book and I just need to dump all the text into the template I've created. And I need ID to add as many pages as necessary (from the master page) for all the text to show up. This seems like it should be easy but I'm at a loss.
    Any help?
    After I get that to work, I need to be able to have the first page of each chapter use a different master page, because the look has to be slightly different. So any tips on that would be welcome as well.
    Thanks in advance. Your help is appreciated!

    While I agree that use of master text frames is usaully not desirable, you CAN do so if you wish, but if you expect to auto flow into them you MUST NOT override them onto the document page.
    Instead, issue the Place command and select your text file, then hover the loaded cursor over the master frame area, being careful to avoid any margin, column or ruler guides, and hold the Shift Key and click. When you move over an empty frame you'll see the loaded cursor change so the symbolic text is enclosed in parentheses rather than having the right angle in the upper left corner. That's your clue that the eixiting frame will be used, and holding shift will caasue ID to make additional pages untill all the text is in place.

  • Edit Page options in ribbon disabled after applying modified Seattle Master Page

    Hi,
    I'm working on a modified version of the Seattle.master page, and I have an odd permissions issue that is seen when my user (a farm admin) tries to edit a page on the site. On some pages, clicking Edit Page doesn't do anything at all. On others, I've been
    able to go into edit mode but not do anything with the Edit options afterward. In this scenario, most or all of the useful edit options are disabled, and I cannot use Save, Checkout, Discard the Checkout, Change the Page Layout, etc...
    Checking the JavaScript console in IE reveals this JS error that I don't see in the OOTB Seattle:
    SCRIPT5007: Unable to set value of the property 'href': object is null or undefined 
    [our.site.com], line 1128 character 590
    Here's the function being referenced:
    function _cUpdconetidProjectPropertyTitleGraphic(data, ctrl){ ctrl.href = slNavUrl; }
    Other possibly helpful information:
    Here is a snippet from the modified Seattle Master Page of where the ribbon code sits:
    <div id="s4-workspace" class="ms-core-overlay">
    <div id="s4-bodyContainer">
    <SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl runat="server" AuthenticationRestrictions="AnonymousUsersOnly">
    <wssucw:Welcome runat="server" EnableViewState="false" />
    </SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
    <div id="ms-designer-ribbon">
    <PublishingRibbon:PublishingRibbon runat="server"/>
    </div>
    As you can see, I have moved the Ribbon (div#ms-designer-ribbon) from its fixed position outside of the div#s4-workspace to inside of the div#s4-bodyContainer so that it scrolls with the page. Placing the ribbon inside div#s4-bodyContainer shouldn't be an issue,
    as I've made a Design Manager Master Page in the past and placed the ribbon there as well without issue.
    Does anyone know how I can get this modified Seattle master page to allow editing?

    Hi,
    Is there any custom JavaScript in it, sometimes error may occur due to some typo.
    Suppose that we can do the customization like this: With a copied master page, we can apply a part of the change first, then check it in the browser to make sure it can work without affecting the OOTB features. Then apply other parts one by one with immediate
    examinations...
    By doing this, it would be easier to find out which step in your whole customization would cause the issue.

  • Can't change the master page after upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

    After upgrading our farm to SharePoint 2013 we are having trouble changing the master page for sites that don't have sub-sites. We are still using the v4 UI version, and that appears to be what is causing the problem. The error we get when going to /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
    is:
    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e)     at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()    
    at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
    I took a peek at the source code for AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad and found that it references a CheckBox control that does not exist in the v4 ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx:
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    base.OnLoad(e);
    this.EnsureChildControls();
    if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
    this.LoadValues();
    if (base.Web.Webs.Count == 0)
    this.resetSystemMasterPageSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    this.resetSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    this.resetAlternateCssSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    this.resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
    base.ConfigureCancelButton(this.BtnCancel);
    If I manually add a checkbox control with the ID "resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox" to a hidden panel in the v4 copy of ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx the page works, but obviously this is not a best practice. How can we fix this without upgrading the UI version, which
    we are not yet ready to do?

    Thanks Mike - Could you please share what is your next step then? I also have custom master pages and layout but I am going to make new master page and layout in 2013 as we need to change the existing branding too. so, i upgrade the site collection. I understand
    the Look and Feel will not persist after the upgrade but I am concern that at least the page should show the content on the page after the upgrade. The page had Calendar webppart on it but after the upgrade it is coming blank.
    any suggestion?

  • Repeat Text Field Value on Master page

    This might be a really simple question. I have a form with two master pages. The second is applied to all but the first page. On the second master page I have a text field that I populate with user entered data from a text field. I want this value to show on all pages after the first page (page 2 to n). It shows up with the value on page 2, but all the rest have a blank value. Do I need to script something to make it repeat for all pages? Any help would be appreciated.

    The simpliest method would be:
    Under the Object tab, select Binding, and change the Default Binding to Global. The TextFields you create must have the same name, and Global binding will populate all the fields.

  • Master Page Header and Footer in Page Viewer Web Part

    Hi.
    I created a View in Pages Library to view specific folders.
    After that i added one Page Viewer web part to one of the aspx page.
    There in the Page Viewer web part properties Link i have provided the url of the view.
    It is displaying the folders but at the same time it is displaying the master page header and footer inside the web part.
    Now i need to display the folders alone inside the Page Viewer web part.
    Please let me know how to exclude the master page header and footer inside the Page Viewer web part?
    Regards,
    Sudheer
    Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

    I think that is the default behavior of the page viewer webpart.
    In the page viewer web part,your just enter the url of the website.So that is treated as webpage and it is displaying as per page.
    http://meritsolutions.com/meritmatters/archives/576-Displaying-a-File,-Folder-or-Web-Page-in-the-Page-Viewer-Web-Part.html
    If you want to display a folder, type in a network path to that folder under Link and the folder content will be displayed.

  • Text wrap on Master Page items

    RE:  InDesign CS2 on Windows Vista
    Hello,
    I inserted a graphic on both of my master pages and applied a text wrap to them.  However, on my document pages, my text does not wrap around the graphics.  (In the Text Frame Options dialog box, the "Ignore Text Wrap" box is not checked.)  I know I can either override my master page items (and insert the graphic again) or control-shift-click on the graphic and force the text to wrap around it.  But that puts another link to the graphic in my document...and I'm trying to minimize the file size.
    Do you have any ideas on how to make the text wrap on the master pages work on the document pages?

    Text wrap on masters is not honored on live pages in CS2. It was added as feature in CS3.
