Dreamweaver MX, template problems

I've been working on my site for a long time. For some
reason, out o' the blue, the pages and previously applied
templates, aren't separate anymore. Also, when i apply a template,
it applies a blue background (not in the template) and the menu,
and nothing else.
TIA.

> the pages and previously applied templates, aren't

What does this mean?
> Also, when i apply a template, it applies a blue

We would need to see your Template and its code to begin to
understand what
you are describing. Can you upload the Template somewhere and
post a link
to it, please?

Template Problem, Can't Bring In Image

I've been revising my site with DW CS4. I made top area of my template editable. But I am unable to place an image in the top left corner of this newly editable area on the template or on the page it's based on. http://www.deborahdavisdesign.com/photography02.html
Did I make the area for type only? How can I change that if I did. Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Using Mac G5 OS10.5.8

Make your links root relative. Links within Conditional
comments will not
be managed by Dreamweaver ever, since it sees them as HTML
comments.

Uneditable areas Dreamweaver CS4 templates

Hi, I set up my website with Dreamweaver CS4 and at the time made the body section editable only.
I believe that by default this also leaves the title tags editable in the head section (which they are).
I now want to make the meta tags and meta title section editable as well in the template so every page in my site has an individual editable area in the head of the HTML code which I can insert different information for each page that will not affect other pages upon saving.
So my question would be how can I convert the locked down code in the head of my template page back to editable regions.
Cheers.

Hi, sorry thought I had this template problem fixed.
Still trying to make the meta tags in my website template editable but when I apply the change below the meta tags seem to disappear.
I've put an example of what I currently have and what I am trying but with no success.
If anyone can spot any mistakes I would really appreciate it.
I have this..
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords are here" />
<meta name="description" content="description is here" />

<title>Title</title>

<link href="../css-file/css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</head>
And tried this..
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<link href="../css-file/css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<title>Title</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords are here" />
<meta name="description" content="description is here" />


</head>
As always, thanks in advance.

Template problem - Can't adjust file path in conditional comments

Hi everyone,
I've used the template feature in dreamweaver to create a
site. The site contains conditional comments to feed a separate
stylesheet to internet explorer browsers. The css files are stored
in a css directory that sits in the main site directory. Some of
the web pages are located in the main site folder and others are
nested within subdirectories. Since all pages in the site need to
reference the css file located in the css directory, the file path
in the conditional comments within the template will have to be
different depending on where the subpages exist. I tried putting
the conditional comments within an editable region in the template
so I could change the file path as needed in the pages themselves
but because dreamweaver adds template comments like this:



...the browser isn't rendering the code.
Can someone tell me how I can get around this problem?
Appreciate any help.

comments will not
be managed by Dreamweaver ever, since it sees them as HTML
comments.

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem

weird dreamweaver keyboard mapping problem:
Hope this solution helps someone out. If you have q's, ask
and I will try to help.
I was having a weird problem in dreamweaver... Whenever I was
in code view and typed "shift+i" to make a capital "I", instead it
would paste from the clipboard.
I finally figured out what was happening. I compared the
menu.xml in my app support folder in the user library to the
original menu.xml file that was in the application folder. I went
through until I came across the diff:
menu.xml in my library/app support folder:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
orig menu.xml file:

<shortcut key="Cmd+Ins" name="Copy2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCopy()) { dw.clipCopy() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Copy2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Ins" name="Paste2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipPaste()) { dw.clipPaste() }"
domRequired="FALSE" id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste2" />
<shortcut key="Shift+Del" name="Cut2" platform=""
command="if (dw.canClipCut()) { dw.clipCut() }" domRequired="FALSE"
id="DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Cut2" />
There was a diff in the "platform=" tags. The orig stated
[platform="win"], my config stated [platform=""] (nothing in
between the ""'s). So, I reset the platform tag to be
[platform="win"] in my settings and then relaunched dreamweaver. It
fixed the problem.
Not sure how this occurred, but it works now.

I've created a website template in Dreamweaver CS3. We need

Dreamweaver Template Problem

I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and my employer is using Dreamweaver version 9. We have created templates, but when she tries to update the template the changes are not showing up on the attached pages. Could someone help us find what we are doing wrong? Also, I am a virtual assistant and live in Montana while she is in Texas.

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather than its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DW) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you done any of those?

Dreamweaver 8 template update pages problem

Does anyone have any ideas on this?
I just upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and am getting very
frustrated with it so far. When I change a template and allow it to
update the pages using that template, it automatically inserts the
following code on each page which shows up then as TEXT on the page
and I have to go and manually delete it on every page using the
template.


Can we see the rest of the page?

Dreamweaver Template problem updating links since upgrading to cs 5

I've just installed DW CS5 onto my W7 system.
Can some one please explain why when I update the menu links on my template
now
All my links are displayed like this now when the template updates
<li><a href="membrane_keypad.htm">Membrane Keypads </a></li>
I wish them to be like how they were below
<li><a href="../membrane_keypad.htm">Membrane Keypads </a></li>
Even if I hard code like the above code ..//membrane_keypad.htm dreamweaver cs5 over writes
them when I update the template.
Is there a setting somewhere I have missed.
I never had this issue on CS4
Regards
Ian

The links in the page will depend on what the links look like in the Template file and where the child page is saved in the site.
So - what do those links look like in the Template file? Where is the child page saved in the site?
Dreamweaver manages links in Template files and in Library items so that they are adjusted to account for saving that child page at any folder location in the site. Are you saying you DON'T want DW to do that?
For what it's worth, there is no difference between CS5 and CS4 regarding management of these links.

Dreamweaver 8 FTP problem

Hi,
I have updated from Dreamweaver MX 2004 to Dreamweaver 8.0.2
three days ago. Everything went well with that update.
Dreamweaver 8 has kept my old FTP data so I was able to
connect without problem to my server and work flawlessly with my
files. But today, I thought it could be a good idea to refresh my
FTP data, so I have removed it and build new FTP server data inside
Dreamweaver 8. -- Now I can connect to the server, but I have lost
all my links to my folders, etc. Pictures are not displayed anymore
until I have to write the full path
http://www.etc.etc/etc to relink
to my folders.
Do anybody knows why, without having changing the links into
my site, dreamweaver doesn't recognize the relative path that links

in the same root.

Not possible unless you made some mistake. Did you by chance
create a
TESTING server as well? I have seen some people duplicate the
Remote site
settings for the testing server - and that would be a
problem.

DW8 does allow this approach, but it's a very dangerous mode
to work in -
particularly if you are not too sure about what DW is doing.

Mark of the web/template problem

I created three Dreamweaver Templates for my site. I inserted the mark of the web code to each template to allow me to test and preview pages without the pop-up messages. All of my pages are about done and some pages using spry and SWF files weren't previewing properly in IE so I decided that it was time to remove the mark of the web code from the templates. As soon as I tried doing this I got a message about data outside the HTML tag and if I continue changes to pages based on this template will not occur unless you insert the following code .
So I hit continue. I got a couple of other error messages telling me I did something wrong. I went back into my template and typed in the code Dreamweaver told me to enter. I saved the template and got some more errors. I didn't think to copy it all down at the time. So after all these nasty messages I'm not sure what's happened. So I make some changes to a horizontal spry menu and hit save. I get some more error messages about the changes will not affect pages based on the template. I have to cancel out of a couple of error dialog boxes. I load a few pages that were based on the template and see that none of the changes that I made to the spry menu on the template are reflected on the html pages created from the template.
So I go into the template and try deleting all references to the mark of the web code. Then I try changing the CodeOutsideHTMLisLocked="true"--> to "false." That didn't work. Then I tried deleting the entire line  thinking that if I just got rid of all of it that it would fix my problem. No such luck.
So now I start searching online for answers and I see some things about attaching and detaching templates. Okay, so maybe if I detach the template and then re-attach it everything will update. When I follow the instructions to do this I learn that the page is no longer attached to a template. That would explain why my changes in the template aren't updating the other pages. So then I try re-attaching the template. I open the assets panel, click on templates, select the template, and then click apply. Nothing. It won't let me attach a template. Template properties shows no template properties available.
Here is some of the code from of a page based on the template two_column.dwt
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>ONA</title>
<script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<meta name="Description" content="This page contains images of some of the former employes of Overseas National Airways." />
You can't see it the code I pasted but everything after 1999/xhtml is grayed out and you can't edit it.
So now I'm totally confused and have no idea what I need to do to straighten this mess out.

I thought I'd update this discussion and close it out. The reason why my pages weren't updating was because I
was using a template improperly. I had made the menu editable, which you're not supposed to do. The whole mark of the web issue was unrelated to my problem.
